File

  • New Start a new palette. Note that this does not prompt you if you want to save, if changes were made; so make sure you saved at an appropriate point.
  • Open Open a palette in GPA, GPL, or ASE format.
  • Revert Revert to the most recently saved version of this palette.
  • SaveandSave As Save the palette in GPA, GPL or ASE format.
  • Export exports the entire palette in GPA, GPL, MTL or ASE format.
  • Export Selection is like Export , but it only exports the selected colors.
  • Import reads in the contents and //appends// it to the active palette (compare with Open, where the content replaces the current palette)
  • Quit There would be no need to explain this, except for the fact that Gpick supports (since 0.2.5) 'auto-save/load'. On quitting, the current palette is saved to autosave.gpa inside the ~/.config/.gpick directory in your home dir, if the appropriate option in Preferences is enabled.

      1. Checking the 'Copy' column shows this item in the PaletteList Copy to Clipboard context submenu. First item with 'Copy' enabled is used when the Ctrl+C Copy to Clipboard shortcut is invoked.
      1. Checking the 'Paste' column tells the Paste command to accept pastes in this format.

  • Display Filters

    • This dialog allows you to adjust the display of colors according to filters.
    • It's pretty straightforward. You can add, remove, or reorder filters, and adjust their parameters by doubleclicking on a filter. Newly added filters appear at the end.
    • The available filters are demonstrated in DisplayFilters
    • You can also toggle whether the filter stack is active or not.
    • All flat color areas except the ones in the PaletteList are affected. ColorSliders and the ColorWheel are not affected.

      • Delete Remove the currently selected filter
      • Enter Show configuration for currently selected filter
