It seems like importing palettes from Lospec prohibits you from being able to add colors to them (the red icon does not appear) which means that I cannot add an alpha component to the palettes like I can when copy-pasting the .png from lospec into aseprite and clicking "import from sprite." Why is this?

Hi Mushrooms! Sorry to hear you’re having trouble, but it seems unrelated to the importer itself. Imported palettes are saved in .GPL format by default which is typical for Aseprite, so they should behave just like any other palette. You may need to click the lock button to the upper-left of the palette list (or press “A”, which I think is the default shortcut) to enable “Edit Color” mode if you want to modify colors that already exist in a palette.
I just tried modifying a couple of imported palettes and things worked as expected. Let me know if you still have issues!
