A couple of things come with this, at least one being a breaking change of sorts: - DirectoryTree now has a path attribute - DirectoryTree.path is a reactive - When DirectoryTree.path is assigned to it rebuilds the tree content - DirectoryTree.path can be assigned a str or Path but always evaluates to a Path - DirEntry.path is now typed as a Path - DirEntry drops is_dir (Directory.path.is_dir() does that job) - DirectoryTree.FileSelected.path is now always a Path This is the first of what might be a few changes here; the main thrust of this commit being to allow changing a DirectoryTree to view a different directory, and also to move to a Path-first approach.

About
Textual adds interactivity to Rich with an API inspired by modern web development.
On modern terminal software (installed by default on most systems), Textual apps can use 16.7 million colors with mouse support and smooth flicker-free animation. A powerful layout engine and re-usable components makes it possible to build apps that rival the desktop and web experience.
Compatibility
Textual runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Textual requires Python 3.7 or above.
Installing
Install Textual via pip:
pip install "textual[dev]"
The addition of [dev] installs Textual development tools. See the docs if you need help getting started.
