Description

Love the UI as it is (best I've seen yet!) but have one suggestion (maybe it's more of a dream):
It would be quite useful to have a directory tree similar to Sublime Text's sidebar directory tree, to simplify the 'Load Query' step. Could specify a root folder from Preferences and selecting a .sql file within one of its expandable child directories would load that to the query console...

Not entirely necessary, but would be a pretty great 'nice to have' (:

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the existing Load Query flow and Preferences UI, then assess how a selectable root folder and expandable .sql directory tree would connect to the query console. Done means users can choose a root, browse child directories, and load a selected SQL file.
