Experimental Add-ons: Save Outliner States and Viewport Bookmarks

   Hi,

   Sharing two small 'easter egg' add-ons for Bonsai!

   They let you save and restore Outliner states and Viewport Bookmarks, with everything stored in JSON files.

   Still very much work-in-progress, but figured they might be useful as a starting point.

   Note: when starting a new IFC project, you’ll need to manually clean up old views and states.

   Built these with some help from ChatGPT.

   Made them because I needed a way to save viewpoints for presenting the model.

   The project I'm using to learn Bonsai is a renovation, so managing element visibility in different phases became important — Outliner states really help both while modeling and when showing the results.

   Some sort of demo added :)

   I didn't know how to embed a video in a post.
