Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As a user, I want the ability to review the configuration settings that are configured for the OS image I have just written. Currently this is not possible unless valid destination media has been inserted into the workstation and selected as a target for writing the OS to.

Describe the solution you would like to see implemented

I would like to see a button in the UI that lets me view and/or edit the OS customizations that are configured. This may be OS specific, so I could see this being a way to view configurations that were used in the last write, or a way to select an OS image and view the customizations that are configured for that OS. In any case, being able to double-check the configuration settings that were used when writing the prior image is the most important point.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I could take out my sd card and put it back in and pretend to want to write to it again.

I could find a spare sd card and put it in and pretend to want to write to it.

I could dig through whatever files are on disk and view them, eg defaults read "${HOME}/Library/Preferences/org.raspberrypi.Imager.plist"
