Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first trace the Load/Save dialog and its project-file handling in the JavaScript editor. Done should include accepting one project-specific MicroPython .hex runtime, replacing an existing runtime, and correctly handling .hex files that contain project files as well.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Request that the Load/Save dialog accept custom .hex runtime (MicroPython interpreter runtime) that it uses for that project in-place of it's built-in runtime. This would be similar to functionality already in the Mu editor and would allow users to enjoy the same benefits.
This thought may be similar to subpostings in Issue #26
Suggestions:
- the runtime appears in the Project files list (file system list) of the Load/Save dialog.
- limit to 1 runtime per project (of course); new runtimes replace old runtime
- .hex file loading properly parses out user .py, modules, and runtime, if provided .hex is an entire project (rather than just a MicroPython runtime).
