Generate Manifest

[WillStrohl]

There are several more advanced features that require updates to the manifest file. However, many workflows for building templates don't involve creating/having one available at all.

It would be nice to have a feature to generate a manifest.json file. This would prevent all kinds of user errors. :)

Ideally, this would be done in some sort of automated way. My first place to put it would be when looking at the files. If you use the actions menu to Edit Template Files and choose manifest.json, it should ideally generate the file on the fly and open it.

I’d rather see a standard generated manifest file. So having it being generated always…
The reason for this, is that one can always use the manifest for final configuration

Our previously discussed option was to add a manifest to all base templates..
