Ok, Christoph, I see your point. What I had in the back of my head was actually something like a preview, or kind of examples or iconized "core palette" giving a broad impression of the most important hues in the palette. In its current state, the dialog is text-based and doesn't give any optical hint of the palettes. I have to activate/load a palette before I can see what it contains. For the AFNOR etc. palettes, you are right - you need it, so you know you want it. But maybe I just want to load some palette that fits my needs - and why shouldn't it be AFNOR? As a beginner, however, I do not want to load each palette to look at their colours, there should be some kind of preview. > In the future, Scribus will make several hundred more special-purpose colour > palettes available for download via its new Resource Manager, from car finish > to wall paints. > > > HTH > > Christoph > Then it would be nice when the Resource Manager had this feature, do you agree?
