How could I work with multiple user interfaces (e.g. multiple .ui files, or multiple blueprints)?

Hi! This is more of a question than an issue and I'm not sure where's the best place to ask.

I'm completely new to GTK/GNOME development, and I've been liking the Blueprint syntax and using Workbench to mock up UIs. But I'm a bit confused about how I could develop a UI into a full application, since Workbench seems to only support working on one UI interface at a time.

How should I proceed? Thanks!

Yes i would also want that feature.

As a application maintainer with a bigger application which has ~50+ .ui files, i would like to load a folder into the application. Have a pane where i can switch between the different .ui files, and a save button where i can save the progress.

For this use case its only necessary to export on save to one configured fileformat, xml or blueprint.

If the pane with file tree is too much, a simple "Load File" option would also work, if the application afterwards lets me decide in which file format i want to save it back.

Thanks
