Description

Allow users to load a json backup taken out of popular LLMs through a menu. In this mode, the treeview on the left should load the chats in that backup instead of regular directory browsing.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing file browsing implementation to understand how the treeview is populated. Identify the JSON export format of popular LLM chat apps, then design a new mode that loads that JSON and displays chats in the treeview instead of directory listings. Add a menu item to trigger this mode, and consider creating a sample JSON file for testing.
