"Automatic" mode for "Initial Sync Priority" option

[rokoblox]

Sometimes small changes such as tool configurations are made inside roblox studio without the need to connect to argon, and sometimes files are edited offline, this means that I have to choose between the changes that I wish to prioritize over the others.

I thought of a solution to this problem by having Argon record the last sync time in the place in studio, and compare it with the "Last Modified" date of the luau file on the filesystem. If a file was modified after the last sync, it will prioritize changes made on the file system. If Argon detects changes between a file and its corresponding script in the place in studio, but finds that the file was last modified before the last sync, it will prioritize the changes in studio.

I like this idea but it's very expensive to read the metadata of every file in the filesystem on each Argon startup, especially when the project gets bigger and bigger.

For now, I will stick to my original idea to fix this problem by creating "Connect Presets" which will allow to run sessions with predefined or customized settings with just one extra click directly from the main page.

It's only necessary to read metadata of files that have detected changes.

Alternatively, having a VSCode extension notification that asks for user's permission before applying changes received from studio just like the plugin in studio does when receiving changes from the server.

Oh so you wanna read and compare the dates after connecting client to the server. In this case that's something that could be added.

CLI already has this feature. Will bring that functionality to the VS Code with the release of the 2.1 version as this is when I plan to implement better wrapper-CLI communication.
