Archive project

Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a function to "archive" a project?

Since (I think V9), there is a feature that puts all project files in a separate folder.
Nice feature, but when making several versions from a same project, my Flowcode9 folder is full of subfolders.
Things get a bit messy right here :-)

One way I could keep track of things is to delete everything that is generated when the project gets compiled, but there are files that are altered during the project (for instance the sdkconfig file in ESP32 projects), in a project that has a new version or isn't used anymore.

Would an "archive function" be a good addition to Flowcode?
A way you could choose a project which adds all files from this project to a compressed file and deletes the uncompressed files?

Like to hear from you :-)

That sounds like a good idea and I think it will be possible in v10 using the new "tools" menu which will allow external applications or batch files to be launched.
