✨ Improve File Manager

[vshymanskyy]

• Ensure that editor modifications are not lost when navigating or reconnecting the board
  • TBD: Warn about unsaved changes?
  • Save a backup of changes in local store
• Upload local files or folders
  • TBD: Drag'n'drop files into editor and file manager?
• Download FS snapshot as zip/tar file
• More file operations
  • Rename file
  • Copy file

" Download FS snapshot as as zip/tar file "

The rshell utility https://github.com/dhylands/rshell has an rsync sub-command https://github.com/dhylands/rshell#rsync which

Recursively synchronises a source directory to a destination.

This might either be a part of your solution, or inspection of the codebase might give you ideas for your own implementation?

I have been using rshell/rsync to keep a copy of the FS on an RPi Pico running MP 1.23 synchronised for backup on a host/workstation with a USB connection between the two devices. No archiving or compression involved.

Adding additional file management requests:

• Deleting a folder should automatically and recursively delete all files and folders within it.
• Add option to create a new folder, not just new files.
• Cut files and folders, in addition to copy.
• Drag and drop files and folders to move them around.
• Collapsible folders (my board has dozens of files on it).

How about exporting and importing from the local machine?
