Save and load dictionary/point clouds

rshchekotov commented 1 year ago

Allow the User to save their models to a file and load them back up. Suggestion to differentiate between two formats:

Compact Format (only contains resource reference and type, i.e.: web:https://...) (disadvantage: high start-up times for models and potentially requires Internet access)
Full Format - contains the fully parsed model (disadvantage: huge file-sizes for models)

I think giving the user the choice here would be the smartest and then save one as a model.wts (What's This Sources) and the other as model.wtm (What's This Model)

Started initial work on in-memory "hard-coded" loader in 60b9c0bc8b94a62896e794ea48024be2db53253f

Part of this is being handled in #11 other than that, most of it has been implemented already, so this will be closed for now - further development may mention this issue, but should ideally be more concise self-contained tickets.
