Aw: Re: [libreoffice-design] Open Colour Systems Collection 2.0 released

Hi Heiko,

I'm not sure if I can handle this. It's probably easy to create an extension that just copies 376 
colour palettes into a subdirectory, but IMNSHO it would make sense to create something more 
versatile, e.g., an OCSC palette manager that enables users to select the installation or 
de-installation of (in the alternative: activation or de-activation) of OCSC colour palettes.

Simply put, having additional 376 palettes available, most of which are special purpose ones, 
doesn't make much sense. Scribus uses a dedicated download service to let users choose what they 
need.

I certainly don't have the time to code this, but if anyone wants to get their hands dirty with 
trying, I'll be supportive.

Best,
Christoph
