Can anyone convert this text file to a .PAL and post it here?

SVG.txt

You are welcome, Gary.

I used an online convertion https://convertio.co/txt-pal/ and it spit back 3 files. I don't have Corel so can't verify, but here you go.
SVG.pal.zip

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

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!
