[Feature] Folder Mode

[michael-hawker]

• Persist open folder
• Allow switching folder
• Allow closing folder
• Test more...
  • DataSource loaded from file context in a XAML page doesn't show up in the Data Sources Activity... (until preview refreshed)
  • Editing/saving data source in panel doesn't save back to the data source file...
• Document capabilities... (Image file loading, data context loading, and resources [kind of])
  • Investigate loading resource file from a merged dictionary/resources thing... (should work like other injections, Maybe for first pass it doesn't load edits if resource open in other tab, that'd be another pass later?)

• Should load App.xaml resources if those file exists into rendered page's resource dictionaries (if they're part of that same workspace)
  • Similarly for Generic.xaml
  • If "linked" page is open in workspace, should grab it's modified content vs. saved content TODO
  • Seems like Button doesn't want to grab style? TextBlock does however?
    • Issue under debugger only, need to file issue
  • Could this work with styles for WinUI 2/Toolkit controls?
  • Can't reference named keys in page as would normally as XamlReader barfs on compilation as it can't find the resource... maybe need to change approach and just merge in dictionary directly to XAML passed into XamlReader...?
• Similarly, if a merged resource dictionary is referenced which exists within the folder, should load it as well (merged with app.xaml above if also exists, etc...)

The d:DataContext/d:DesignData syntax which used to work is no longer supported in Visual Studio... There used to be a GitHub repo that showed all the various options for design data and what worked/didn't work (or used to work). Can't find link now of course...

Need to evaluate how to handle this now moving forward.

• Opening a new Folder should close all documents associated with the workspace (asking to save first if needed...)

Not sure what this was about:

Happened after I tried to make the Button style in app.xaml inherit from DefaultButtonStyle... it worked in the resource dictionary preview for app.xaml, but then crashed when trying to load the main page...
