Adopt Snakemake-esque approach to propagating changes made in Process tab #147

Closed mtillman14 closed 1 year ago

When running a function, I should automatically check that the inputs are up-to-date. Do this by looking at date modified for each variable (stored in the project settings variable?). If date of any input is newer than date of any output, then need to redo that function. Also, if the date modified of the function itself is newer than any output, then need to redo that function.

Because it's possible for some intermediate steps to not appear to need updating (even though prior steps means they do), each time a function is run it should check back all the way to the very first processing step to make sure all variables are up to date.

This method eliminates the need for a manual Propagate checkbox.

Can use a network graph with Python's networkX package to facilitate identifying dependency variables/functions!
