Gradient and Palette conversions

Hi All,

I have just written a couple of little perl scripts to convert existing gimp-1.2.x palettes and gradients into a form that gimp-1.3.20 finds acceptable. In the hope that others might find them useful, I have attached them.

Happy Gimping!

Oh? Actually 1.3 is supposed to read the 1.2 palette and gradient files directly. Did we break backward compatibility? If so, this should better be fixed.

Gimp-1.3.20 seems to read the 1.2 palettes and gradients properly, but it complains mightily about having to use the legacy format. These are purely for convenience and to reduce the number of warnings at load time.

What warnings do you get exactly? Perhaps we could suppress them or make them more subtle warnings that appear on the console only.

I'm sorry -- I didn't make myself clear (too late at night, I guess.) The warnings were on the console, not in gimp-message boxes, and were to the effect that the palette was not in current gimp format, falling back to legacy mode ...

It wa irritating because I have a large number of palettes and the plethora of messages made it difficult to find other, possibly more important, error messages amid the clutter. I have successfully converted both the gradients and the palettes and now the messages have stopped.
