Provide an SVG color palette in a next release

[handrawn]

I think you have mixed up your PAL types there chris, those are YUV image files not palettes

@JC - try this, only top three colours, but if it loads in xara and is what you are looking for[and it loads for me] then you can use Brian's Xpal utility to convert

test pal.zip

brian's Xpal utility here:

http://www.smokingun.co.uk/index/downloads

it will take some time as you will need to use the Xpal dropper to select each colour in turn from page 3 of your xara file, naming them as you go along...

see next post

[handrawn]

actually should be able to hack your text file be quicker - but will loose the names like as not....

try this:

SVG-hack.zip

you do loose the names and the definitions will be in % not # but it should open ok in xara once you have put it in the palettes [NOT palette] folder

the names are not preserved anyway with Xpal it would appear

xara's native palette format is JCW - there was a utility for this I believe, but memory may be playing me tricks

I needed to shorten some names.

@HandDrawn

I took and saved your test PAL file into the PALETTES Subdirectory (Programs/Xara/Palettes ). It loaded automatically when I start Xara and is displayed in the Color Gallery. See Below

This eliminates having to open my xara file I posted above which is convenient; however, there are no names appear.
Did your test PAL have a field for a Color Names? Does the PAL format allow Color Names?


NOTE: I found that the files I posted above has a typo for one of the RBG values and there are 5 pairs of colors (that were in the original Internet palette) with duplicate RGB values which I need to fix. I will repost!

nice one Mike

[I found the JCW utility I was looking for way back in 2007 post... ]

pal files do nt allow for names [in xara at least]

mike's jcw has them

@Mwenz
Wrong value for MediumBlue. Should be RGB: 0,0,205 (HEX 0000ff).
Can you update the file you posted please?

@Administrator
Please remove the files I posted (which have an error in them) as the SVG jcw file posted by MWenz accomplishes the same thing and is more efficient than opening a xara file of name colors.

Thank you!
