open files, get file dialog, hold pointers to files, save and create files, etc.

Read the Twui file on open and parse it for the file version, the hierarchy, and then the components and their internal fields

• Version
• "Root" component
• Children, by name
• Hierarchy
• Other internal fields, just hold in an array for now?

• Show hierarchy in single text block to start, with no good support

ie., allow the PropertiesPanel to take the state info of "currently-selected component" from multiple sources

A parser that will just hold a collection of subelements or a collection of attributes, or both, if we don't know what type the current parsed XML element is
