--- Comment #6 from Owen Genat <owen.genat@gmail.com> ---
I tend to agree with Stuart. These are the problems I see:

- We should not be limiting users from creating custom palettes with greater
than 8 rows or a set number of swatches. The user mailing list has some threads
with very large palette file attchments containing many hundreds of swatches. I
am not a fan of these SOCs but people do create and use them. For example, it
would be unlikely that the Inkscape palette would fit within 8 rows.

- A scrollbar should appear for palettes with a greater numbers of rows than
can be displayed. If anything the color picker dialog should resize, as
possible, to display the largest number of rows / swatches.

- Palette swatches in the current standard.soc affect legacy documents. There
would at least need to

- Given the format of the XML entries it is both more logical and easier IMO to
create palettes on a hue-per-row than hue-per-column basis. I explain the
reasons for this in bug 80196. It certainly makes it easier to have a block of
entries named "10% Magenta", "20% Magenta", rather than have such entries
broken up one to a block.

- Unless the colour picker layout reaches some sort of stability (so far there
is no sign of this occurring) the number of rows displayed and the creation of
SOC files to suit a given layout will remain problematic.
