Change what path you import from r2mm/TS from #171

I kept my r2mm files in a different location (and drive) than the default, and I had to jump through a few hoops to import them into Gale.

First try was setting a SymLink from the default profiles location over to the one i had specified, but when Gale's Data directory is set on the same drive as the actual files (in my case, E), I got some errors about not being able to copy/move the files from one drive to another. (It's been a few days since i went through this so I don't have screenshots of the errors handy). This actually seemingly bricked my Gale, as it would open up, flash onto the profile screen for a moment, and then immediately close. I had to go delete the folder that had what was supposed to be the imported files from the data path.

My solution in the end was to still use the SymLink, temporarily set Gale's data directory to my C drive, then import, everything seemed to work fine, then changing the data directory back to the E drive moved everything over properly.

I imagine being able to choose the actual r2mm data path that you're importing from would solve all of these issues :)
