    Would anyone out there be interested in creating a plug-in for converting all colours used in a .xar file from local colours to named colours?

    2 or 3 I've done it myself by exporting a xara image as an .eps file. Opened the .eps file in a text document and using the find and replace function replaced the colours with named colours. Then resaved the file and reimported the file back into Xara. It works but is fairly time consuming.

    With the new named colours gallery I often find it very usefull to select all colours of a single hue for editing, but unless named colours are used at the outset, Xara defaults (correctly) to local fill colours which can't be selected via the named colour gallery.

    Any programming savy surfers interested?
