Mac: Built-in palettes not found

[zellyn]

Pixelorama version: 0.10.3, both .dmg and homebrew

OS/device including version: Mac M1 Max

Issue description: The builtin palettes are not found in the UI

Steps to reproduce: Install Pixelorama. Look at the dropdown in the Palettes menu. There are no palettes.

Reason

If you create a new palette, it is saved in /Applications/Pixelorama.app/Contents/MacOS/pixelorama_data/Palettes. The included palettes are stored in /Applications/Pixelorama.app/Contents/Resources/pixelorama_data/Palettes. If you copy the included palettes from Resources to Contents/MacOS, they show up in the UI.

Same issue/workaround on a 13 year old iMac running High Sierra (the 2017-2018 Mac OS version)

Same issue on Pixelorama version 0.11.3, mas OS 12.3, intel cpu

I am experiencing the same problem, MacOS 13.1, intel CPU, version 0.11.4 a quick check and it looks like on a fresh install the pixelorama_data folder is not found in the in the Contents/MacOS folder at all this means, that the default patterns, brushes and palettes do not load.

My initial attempt to work around this, I downloaded the pixelorama_data folder from the main branch, to replace the missing folder, (they get created as empty on first run) this resolved the problem for the brushes and the patterns, but not the palettes, after stumbling upon the work around in this thread I realised that the palettes files in the main branch are json while the ones shipped with Pixelorama are tres. Replacing the json files with the tres ones resolves the problem for palettes.
