The GIF palette picker dialog

The GIF palette picker dialog is presented only if you select a GIF file containing multiple palettes from the palette get file dialog, when loading a fixed palette.

The GIF palette picker dialog allows you to preview the palettes contained in a GIF file that contains multiple palettes in order to chose which palette you wish to load. 

The current palette and number of palettes contained in the file are displayed in the title of the group box surrounding the palette preview. The checkbox labeled ‘Show’ controls the visibility of the palette preview in the GIF palette picker dialog. When it is checked the preview will be visible, and when it is unchecked the preview will not be visible.

The spinner control beneath the palette preview in the GIF palette picker allows you to step forward and backwards though the palettes contained in file. The sequential number of the currently selected palette will be displayed in the title of the group box surrounding the palette preview, as well as in the edit text box next to the spinner control. You may also enter the number for which palette to preview in the edit text box.

When you have chosen what palette to load from the file, hitting the ‘OK’ button in the GIF palette picker dialog will load the currently selected palette and return you to the palette options dialog. You may also cancel and not load a palette with the ‘Cancel’ button, which will also return you to the palette options dialog.
