Allow stepping through series of models #19

Phil Cruz suggests that for giving demonstrations it would be nice to be able to open a series of models and to show each in sequence by pressing a hand-controller button. Maybe the Y/B button on the controller would work well as it is unlikely to be accidentally pressed. It could be an option to enable that mode. We discussed how to order the models. Maybe it is best to order them by the order they are opened in. The current Files panel only allows opening one model per button click, so each would have to be clicked to open it. That is probably ok, as probably only about 5 models would be shown in a demonstration.

I added this in LookSee 12 using the thumbstick by tilting right (show next model) or left (show previous model). It is not too easy to accidentally do this, although zooming is done by pushing the thumbstick forward or backward. So if people are prone to accidentally showing the next model when the meant to zoom I may need to reconsider this and make the hand controller Y/B buttons do it as discussed in the previous comment.
