  - [x] move out the UI for "assets" folder out of "blueprints condition"
  - [ ] fix asset path calculations
      - root path => relative to blend file path
      - asset path => relative to root path
      - blueprints/levels/blueprints path => relative to assets path

-- move out some parameters from auto export to a higher level (as they are now used in multiple places)

-Data storage:
-    - for scenes (main scenes)
-        - at scene level
-    - for blueprints 
-        - at collection level
-        - Note: these should be COPIED to the scene level when exporting, into the temp_scene's properties
-
-    > NOTE: UP until we manage to create a PR for Bevy to directly support the scene level gltf_extras, the auto exporter should automatically create (& remove)
-        an additional object with scene_<scene_name>_components to copy that data to
-
-Assets:
-    - blueprint assets should be auto_generated & inserted into the list of assets : these assets are NOT removable by the user
-    - should not change the list of manually added assets
- - [x] store assets 
-   - [x] per main scene for level/world assets
-   - [x] per blueprint for blueprint in lib scene
- - [ ] UI:
-    - [x] we need to display all direct assets (stored in the scene)
-    - [ ] indirect assets: 
-        - QUESTION : do we want to include them in the list of assets per level ? 
-            -  this would enable pre-loading ALL the assets, but is not ideal in most other cases
-            - so add an option ?
-        - [ ] the assets of local blueprints 
-
-
-Blueprints:
-    - [x] on save: write IN THE COLLECTION PROPERTIES
-        - list of assets
-        - export path
-    - [ ] blueprint selection for nested blueprints is broken
-
-
-General issues:
- - there is no safeguard for naming collisions for naming across blender files
- - this can cause an issue for assets list "parent" 
- - "parents" can only be blueprints
-    - they normally need/have unique export paths (otherwise, user error, perhaps show it ?)
-    - perhaps a simple hashing of the parent's path would be enought
