BHoM_UI: tags and local settings

[pawelbaran]

Description:

Following the discussion with @al-fisher and @kThorsager, I am writing down the ideas for UI improvements that we came up with:

• Method tags, possibly really helpful to identify methods that are e.g. related to a certain workflow. These could be divided into:

  • Default tags - either hard coded in the source or stored in a local file
  • Custom tags - to be stored locally in %appdata%

  Plus @al-fisher's idea: a ❤️ button to mark favourite methods

• A window with data tree, where the user could check/uncheck each assembly/method to include or remove it from the search (better UX plus faster search?)

To be compared against #85

Suggestions and thoughts are welcome!

Is that something we would like to resurrect @FraserGreenroyd?

[FraserGreenroyd]

I think so, I've been discussing similar with @travispotterBH recently on similar things - so yeah let's keep this one open and assign it to me, I'll tackle it in a milestone or so.

[al-fisher]

Great - thanks both - I agree worth relooking at and prioritising if we can - as anything that can improve the discoverability of most useful methods in the code for different users will be massive

[pawelbaran]

Yeah - I would support it even more now when the Revit UI starts getting crowdy very quickly 👍

See this branch for initial work.

There's a branch with the same name on Grasshopper_UI repository to help test this, but I won't be raising the PRs together I don't think, as the Grasshopper implementation/access to the settings being introduced by the branch on this repository will need more work. Neither PR may come this milestone depending on how it goes over the weekend/early next week as there is a bit more to do to make it a bit tidier before going to a full review.
