Inkscape uses the Gimp .gpl palette format and your name.gpl file goes in the Inkscape User profile, guessing that will be near the Gimp User Profile. That is easy enough but I have never sorted a palette in Inkscape. I found a bit about it here: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/...n-inkscape
That does not look much different to the Gimp sort palette. Starting with an image, Tried to get all on one screenshot, so it is a bit cramped.
(1) is the Import dialogue. I have never been able to get the palette sorted as per the image.
(2) is the palette and (3) you might get a better sort using Value. Still not the same order as the source image.
What is possible with .gpl files is they are text and depending how keen you are, they can be edited. Get a Windows text editor such as notepad++
(4) is straight as Gimp generated and (5) is edited changing the order and naming the entries.
I thought meetdilip might be able to do that since he was using both Inkscape and Gimp. Inkscape still intimidates me.
Thank you for sharing how to name the colors in the palettes. Nice little trick.
However, I'd in your screenshots above you actually end up with colors in your palette from the image. And everyone else seems to too. But I can't get that.
The number of colors and columns is different than yours, but it does the same thing if I use your numbers.
And here is the finished palette. And even if I have other layers visible it doesn't work for that either. Usually I get at least one square of color in the palette.
Do you know why it isn't working for me?
