Notes
•A Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) is used to uniquely identify objects in computer systems. It is also known as a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID).
•On Mac, DCE v4 (random) UUIDs are used.
•Each time the transform is run it will create a different set of UUIDs.
•Theoretically, it is possible to generate the same UUID twice. But you are more likely to hit by a meteorite on your way to collect your lottery winnings.
