Show all palettes on import

When importing Image->SHP, you can only choose under palettes that are stored in the hardcoded default folders.

Palettes under Palettes/DTA or Palettes/TI are not shown, which always forces you to mix palettes of different games in one folder (usually the "user" folder). And makes things pretty cluttered up.

Suggestion:
show and load palettes from all folders in the Palettes folder.
Also organize them in the combobox and show the foldername together with the palette filename.
e.g.
TS\unittem.pal
RA2\cameo.pal
this would also work better than showing an icon imo. (not all mods/games have an icon)

There is a folder called User, where you can store custom palettes. But it could be ok to add support to any folder under the Palettes directory in a future version of OS SHP Builder.

I would welcome that. Atm I am using TS folder to keep the RA1-TS pals, and have like 40 custompals in RA1 folders instead.

Also another anim palettepack in the YR folder.

And User ofc has 40 other... yes, I am using all those. D:
