Make AGS Editor Sprite View remember folder tree area size

[ericoporto]

I have an issue that barely qualifies as a nitpick, but rather a small annoyance that I wonder if anything could be done about. I've been organizing all my sprites into folders and subfolders. This means I have to increase the window size to accommodate the expanded folder trees in the "select a sprite to use" window. Normally that's no big deal, but the window size resets to the original (too small) size every time I want to select a sprite. Is there any way the size of this window can be "saved" so I don't need to do that every time? See the image below to see what I mean.

This suggests that this size should be saved somewhere in memory, at least. But probably it also suggests that it should be saved between the sessions?

I guess there are two tasks:

1. Investigate if this may be done uniformly for any similar windows (how many floating resiable windows do we have in the Editor though? maybe not a lot); like have some kind of a gui manager that saves this kind of information in memory, and provides to opened windows on demand.
2. Investigate how to save this on disk. This is not a project data, so should be part of either app settings, or "layout". The docking panels layout is currently read from a file (layout.xml) by the layout manager, but it's possible that it expects all file be its own and not containing anything extra. In such case there may be a separate file for saving additional windows.

Note that the saved data primarily includes the window size, but it may additionally have other values, like the splitter position, or zoom level.

Maybe this information could be kept as a dictionary per window, where keys and values are defined by the window itself (as it knows what it needs). Then this dictionary is serialized to XML, like everything else in the editor.

This specific component is used in two different places, alone in it's own panel, and in this sprite selection window. I think it's own panel is usually open and kept open, but this sprite selection window is open and closed everytime a new sprite has to be selected.
