Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the workspace, menu-bar, sidebar, and file-drag handling, then compare the behavior with the Preview app example. Done means a single opened file can provide a temporary workspace with the intended sidebar and terminal behavior.

Either default or enabled in the menu bar, a full workspace is opened with the two sidebars hidden. Now the user have acess to terminal. Once they click the left sidebar button, the file bar shows and they can drag file to it. Now they have a temporary workspace.

Preview app can be an example.
