Show FCPX Libraries as normal folders in Import BRAW Files window #83

Discussed in https://github.com/latenitefilms/BRAWToolbox/discussions/82

Originally posted by **thermidorthelobster** February 14, 2023 So sooner or later I'm going to mess up my media management and end up deleting BRAW files and breaking something, because I'm one of those people who likes that FCP does it all for me. Is it possible that BRAW Toolbox could copy the original BRAW media (and the audio too) into a folder within the FCPX fcpbundle itself? That way the media always goes with the library. Having stuff outside the library seems to be a recipe for me to screw something up :) I note that I can already create a folder for the audio inside an fcpbundle and keep the audio there; I can't select a folder inside an fcpbundle in BRAW Toolbox, but I can drag a folder from a Finder window into BRAW Toolbox's selection window and it cheerfully accepts the path. I can do a similar thing if I copy BRAW media into a folder I've created in the fcpbundle before import, then drag that folder from the Finder into BRAW Toolbox's Import BRAW window; but it would be great if there was an option to select the relevant library from within BRAW Toolbox and for it to create the folders and copy the media directly into the library.

One tiny improvement that might help is that we could show library bundles as normal folders in the Import BRAW Files window, so you can easily "go inside" the library to select things.
