Easy File Picker

[marth8880]

The goal is to make easier the process of selecting files to add to the File List.

How do we do that? With a tree view, of course!

Logic Flow

1. User clicks "Easy File Picker" button.
2. "Easy File Picker" form is shown.
3. User is prompted to browse for a mod project directory.
   a. This directory path is saved to the user prefs and remembered each time the picker is opened.
4. Zero Munge creates a nested tree of the entire project by scouring the directory for munge scripts for sides, worlds, common, sound, addme, and shell.
   a. For sides, it looks for munge.bat in all folders located inside data_***\_BUILD\Sides.
   b. For worlds, it looks for munge.bat in all folders located inside data_***\_BUILD\Worlds. Each world will probably also want to check for an existing REQ file in the data_***\Worlds\<world> directory since all of the stock worlds are usually present and unused in data_***\_BUILD\Worlds.
   c. For common, it looks for munge.bat in data_***\_BUILD\Common.
   d. For sound, it looks for munge.bat in data_***\_BUILD\Sound.
   e. For addme, it looks for mungeAddme.bat in data_***\addme.
   f. For shell, it looks for munge.bat in data_***\_BUILD\Shell.
   g. The items in the tree are organized the same way as in the project directory; all the sides are located in a folder called "Sides", worlds in a folder called "Worlds", etc. Sound is treated a bit differently since in most cases there's just one munge.bat file that munges all sound folders.
   h. Each item and folder in the tree view has an associated checkbox. Checking/unchecking a folder checks/unchecks all of its child items. I suspect .NET handles this functionality automatically.
5. When the user clicks the "OK" button in the form, each checked item's munge script is added to the File List.
   a. Optionally, the user can add more project directories with the "Add Project" button, which goes back to step 3.

Components

• "Easy File Picker" form containing a TreeView, "OK"/"Cancel" buttons, an "Add Project" button, and a folder select dialog.
• List of munge script file paths that the picker returns to the main form after closing via the "OK" button. Alternatively we could use a struct but it shouldn't be necessary.
• Logic for scouring the project directory for the munge scripts.
