Comments

• Themes saved in xdt file do not maintain the folder structure. This would be nice, but we need to define how tree structures would merge.
• No collision reported when loading xdt file with duplicate dset name assignment.
• do we check for partial collision? "Velocity" for one theme and "Velocity_ft" for another?
• I think it would be preferrable to not store all the palettes in a project with the xdt, just the ones that are being used.
