Improvement to ManageRainmeter window...

After a short discussion with Yincognito, I decided to make a request, which hopefully isn't too hard to implement.

Basically, the Manage window is awkward to use when needing to constantly refresh skins due to the fact that it closes all the open folders in the tree list. But also, having this tree list is also confusing at times.

A much simpler to use solution would be to implement a different structure. At first I thought, keep the folders open on app refresh, but this can be messy, especially when you have many. So then I thought about having the Skin INI files listed with their ConfigName as a prefix. But this also gets messy.

So perhaps a better solution is to have a similar layout to the About/Skins window. Not the left pane, but the right pane.
Where you have:
Measures--------------- in blue,
and a list of them underneath, then:
Variables------------ in blue
and a list under that.

Thus having:
ConfigName1----------- in blue,
Skin1.ini
Skin2.ini
Skin3.ini
ConfigName2----------- in blue,
Skin1.ini
ConfigName3------------ in blue,
Skin1.ini
Skin2.ini
etc...

This would reduce the clutter of folders and make things easier to see at a glance. I guess it's not likely to happen this way, if at all, but can't hurt to ask!
Also, the code is there to be used and transferred as necessary, so win win!
