X-Sheet: frame list view

[Darkspace65]

Hi!
I guess this falls under feature request. I use lst files on a regular basis to edit and compose complex animations. I render stuff as png and then use lst files as some sort of work around x-sheet to combine it all. When you import a lst file into Synfig you get a switch file that only shows the title of the lst file when you open it in The Layers Panel. Would it be possible to let it actually show the png files and their corresponding frames? And even maybe edit them? Let's call it The X-Sheet Layer...
Greetz!

This is supposed to be simple, so i wanted to implement it as Gtk practice. However, it turned out that .lst layers do not expose any info except for .lst file path itself, so it will require rewriting them in order to implement this feature.

More generic approach which would make X-Sheet possible for any layer would require dealing with rendering engine which is probably even more complicated. Would be nice to have have it in the future, though.

Actually just made a very basic implementation for switch layer with imported images inside.
