The Ray Tracer Challenge - 027 - Tauri App

Let's see if it is possible to package the Raytracer REPL into a standalone app using Tauri.
Join me, while I implement chapter by chapter from the book "The Ray Tracer Challenge" by Jamis Buck in Rust a language completely new to me.
Come with me on the journey of learning the Rust programming language, while implementing a Ray Tracer in a Test driven fashion, to have fun and (hopefully) create some astonishing rendered graphics.
Let's study the inner workings of a Ray Tracer, and take a look under the hood of the Rust language, while taking on this challenge on a weekly basis.
All the code produced within this series is provided on github, for you to
follow along.

Nice, 28:59 what shortcut do you use to enter paths on dialogs?
