[libreoffice-users] Resene.soc color palette online

[Tim---Kracked_P_P---webmaster]

In a different thread, I was talking about getting the Resene Paint 
Color Palette into an .soc palette for LibreOffice. I thanked Rémy 
Gauthier for the conversion of the rbg(x,x,x) formated color code to the 
standard HEX format.


With that, I was able to create a usable SOC palette file.

I started with the basic colors - like black, blue, green, etc. - then 
added the LibreOffice standard colors that I found online.  After those 
named colors, I added the entire Resene palette with their 1382 [?] 
named colors.


This is the link to the palette file.  I have tested it on a Ubuntu MATE 
16.04LTS using LibreOffice version 5.2.4.2.  It looks fine to me.


http://libreoffice-na.us/holding/resene.soc

To help see all of the colors, I uploaded my favorite color sorted PDF 
file.  The web site stated it was Partition by Luminance and Sorted by 
the Hue.  That and the Hue by Luminance PDF file had the same file name, 
so I renamed them to show the sorting method that was used.


http://libreoffice-na.us/holding/resene-lh--Partition by luminance--sort 
by hue.pdf 



Here is the link to the page that has the 4 different sorting options, 
plus the colors sorted by name.  I do not like that pdf file, but who 
know it might be useful some day.

So try the Resene palette out on your system.  I do not remember where 
the SOC files go using Windows 10, but Ubuntu has it in the hidden 
folder of ".config/libreoffice/4/user/config" . If some out there who 
know how to create the extensions that install the .soc files in their 
proper folder locations, so the users do not have to know where the .soc 
files are located on their systems, let me know. Then it would be a 
better option for a "not-tech" user.


Please let me know - off list is you want - how you like the color 
palette.  I hope to make some specialty ones in the next few months.


Right now, doing this type of "work" is the only way I can contribute to 
LibreOffice itself, not counting getting local 
people/businesses/organizations to try LO.  I really think there may be 
a marketing mindset for color palettes created for specific types of 
user/usage. I know that other drawing packages have the options of 
choosing color palettes for their needs - like having all of the gold, 
silver, bronze, etc., metal colors in one palette so the user does not 
need to go through a large color palette to pick out those colors thy 
want/need to use.  In every palette of colors, the colors with "gold" in 
their names are all spread all over the color list.  Actually, for 
"gold" related colors, I need to go through several color palette files 
to collect all the different possible named gold-related colors.  Having 
one palette for these different specific gold related colors, or bronze, 
or silver, or even ranges of pinks, could help people's choosing the 
needed color selection[s] in Draw [or Writer, Impress, etc.].  I know it 
helps me with Inkscape.  Since I do not use Draw often, I hope it would 
help those who do.


NOTE:  As I stated in the other thread, all I had to do - to be able to 
use their color names and their color codes - was add their copyright 
statement.  I did this at the end of the file.

I am having trouble adding the Resene color palette to the

Two different Resene Palettes can be found at
https://groups.io/g/ODF_Templates/files/ColourPalettes .


For some reason, I'm under the impression that LibO can utilize adobe
*.ase palettes, but a quick search on the LibO site doesn't confirm it.
I've got 45 *.ase palettes from Resene,

I found the Resene color palette from a site that discussed color 
palettes.  Here is the site's URL.


http://people.csail.mit.edu/jaffer/Color/CSDR

The site has several different PDF files for the different color sorting 
options.


The link you provided at the "groups.io" requires a user/password to 
access the site.  So I do not know what they offer. The .soc file[s] I 
want to create will be offered at the LO Extension site as a .soc file.  
If someone knows how to create an extension that automatically installs 
the file in the proper config folder, please let me know.  Since I use 
Linux, I know where the the .soc files are located. It would be better 
to have extension do the work for you.


For those who look at the link I provided here, there are over 1300 
colors in the Renese palette.  There are other versions of there 
palette.  Renese colors is a paint palette.  I have an older PDF file 
that has a MIT.edu link to a Renese-2010 PDF file. The link I provided 
to the MIT side has several Renese files that are color sorted by 
different methods.  I like the following version.


http://swiss.csail.mit.edu/~jaffer/CSDR/resene-s.pdf

Thanks to Rémy Gauthier, I now have the Renese text file RGB color list 
to one that is a HEX version.  Now I just need to finish the needed 
parts of the .soc file, including the Renese copyright that must 
included with the color coding to make the .soc file.  After that, I 
will upload it to a folder and provide the link so others can test it on 
their systems.  Then, hopefully, I will place the .soc file with the LO 
Extension site.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem with LO 5.3

[Bruce Hohl]

I saw your bug report.  I did a quick test and also was unable to get
"Sheet > Like to External Data" working correctly in 5.4.0.0 alpha.  I will
check more carefully against 5.3 this weekend and comment on your bug
report.
