Interesting problem
Hi,
I have an interesting problem. I am running a dual boot system with Xp and Linux. I have a fat32 partition where i save my files from both operating systems. I have two versions of Gimp, one for each system. The windows version is 2.2pre2 and the Linux version is 2.0.2. Often i start a project in one system and continue working on it in the other. The other day, I created a new Gimp file with a custom swatches palette. But when i open it in the Linux version of Gimp the custom swatches palette doesn't show up, everything else is there, layers, gradients and so on. Any idea what might cause this?

These palettes are not saved as part of the image. Rather, as Gimp-wide resources.
Look in the preferences dialog were is your palette data dir in windows. The palette you created will be there. You have to write this file to the equivalent dir, probably ~/.gimp-2.0/palettes/ , before you start the GIMP in linux.

I copied the palette file from windows to ./gimp-2.0/palette folder, as you suggested, but the palette still doesn't show in the file when I open in Linux. Could it be because the Linux version of Gimp is not the same as Window's?

What do you mean when you say "a palette shows in a file"?

I created a palette and named it GnomeIconcolors in windows. After saving, the name appeared on the list in the swatches window, among the default swatches, which comes with the program like Gray, Grayblue, Grayviolet and so on, in the windows version of Gimp but it doesn't show on Linux palette list when I open the file in the Linux version of Gimp even after copying the swatch palette from windows to Linux.

I made a test. I created a new file in Gimp Linux version. I created a custom swatch palette and saved it. Then I copied the custom palette swatch from Linux to Windows version and it worked perfectly. The custom swatch name showed on the swatches list. It seems the procedure fails only the other way around.
