Feature request: allow gui to find network attached storage

[BleakleyMcD]

currently GUI cannot recognize network attached storage devices and so av-spex can't process those files via the GUI.

please allow GUI to recognize attached devices and (maybe?) other file systems

Good news and bad news!
Good news: I believe network attached storage will be accessible on this feature branch - https://github.com/JPC-AV/JPC_AV_videoQC
Bad news: This doesn't support selecting multiple files at once. You can still import multiple directories, you just need to choose them one at a time. I was using the "non-native QfileDialog" option to enable selecting multiple directories. Just found on the PyQt 6 documentation that "The non-native QFileDialog supports only local files".

Drag and drop is looking feasible so I think we can use that as an alternative for multiple dirs

Ok, @BleakleyMcD network selection (one dir at a time) or drag and drop (multiple dirs) should be working on this branch now, give it a try: https://github.com/JPC-AV/JPC_AV_videoQC/tree/feature/network_support
