syncing to a directory unexpectedly clears the directory

Description of the issue

Because the sync directory is the default option, I selected a directory on my system to sync to, expecting Free Sync to just drop the generated files to sync into there, just like you specify home directories in other tools. Unfortunately for me I selected my projects directory for this.
After hitting "Save workspace" I found that my whole projects directory was deleted and overwritten with Free Sync files.

Expected Result

I would have expected for Free Sync to not erase the directory contents and instead just create the self-managed files or directories there.

Autosave on changes is disabled

Thanks for this plugin. Save/Load work fine now.

Although the Autosave feature didn't. I thought it's not working just for me, but looks like it is disabled in the code as well:

insomnia-plugin-free-sync/src/components/configuration-dialog.tsx

Line 73 in f0e743d

disabled={true}

Is it still being worked out?

Duplicate requests on import

Because of Insomnia update, internal import logic doesn't synchronize resources anymore. Two ways to fix it:

• Update Insomnia (Kong/insomnia#6078)
• Import into DB and React store manually
