Browse for Node-RED Flows During Remote Instance Setup

Last month we introduced a way for the FlowFuse Device Agent to import Node-RED flows during the setup process. Today, we have built on that and added some new features:

• Automatically scan common file locations and offer any flows found for immediate selection
• Scan common directories and present any that contain multiple flows as a quick browse selection
• Offer a "Browse filesystem" option to let you navigate and select any flows on your device

Lets see it in action

Import automatically located ~/.node-red/flows.json flows file

Using the "Browse filesystem" option to navigate the filesystem to chose a different flows file

We hope these new enhancements make the process of migrating existing Node-RED flows to FlowFuse even easier.
