Works fine for vanilla.

• Source/destination palette selectors, handy if you're translating across palettes or forgot to set the correct one beforehand.
• The ability to scroll the previewer through selected graphics when multiple ones are being retranslated, so you know how they'll all look.
• Working with initially truecolor graphics (paletting them first), and outputting truecolor or a modified PNG palette if applicable.

• When a palette is displayed, you can right-click on any color to change it directly. Creating a whole new palette this way will probably be tedious, however.
• So you can now import palette files. Other than raw format, you can import palettes that are saved a square image (make sure the color cells are uniform, no numbering or whatever), as a comma-separated list of RGB values, in the JASC text format or in the GIMP text format. I'll need some feedback for the JASC palettes however since the only samples I had to test were those generated by SLADE in the first place; so I can't guarantee much. (Plus I wrote that code when I had no Internet access to look up documentation.)
• But you can do other tweaks! From the palette menu, you have "tint", "colourise", "tweak", "invert", etc. options. When using one of them, you get a window where you can select ranges in the palette, perform some changes from this. At the moment, you need to okay each change to validate them, and reopen the window to make a new change. I admit it might be a bit tedious, too.
• As you know, a Doom engine PLAYPAL does not contain only one palette, but several. Well, good news! You can now edit that too! You can remove a palette from a palette file, or reduce that file to this single palette, deleting all others. You can duplicate a palette (its copy will be added at the end). You can change the order in which they are. Lastly and perhaps most excitingly, you can automatically generate a full Doom or Hexen set of palettes from the current palette. Painstaking reverse engineering efforts have been deployed to ensure the values of the colors generated for the extra palettes are identical to those you would have obtained from Id Software's own palette generation tool. In fact, if you regenerate any of the stock PLAYPAL from their first palette with this tool, the resulting PLAYPAL will be bit-for-bit identical.
• "Add to custom palettes" now take effect instantly. You no longer need to quit and restart SLADE to see your new palette in the main palette chooser.
• A "Test palette" option is now also added. This will add the tested palette to the main palette chooser, but only for the current session (it is not added to the custom palette directory). You can then look how various paletted graphics are rendered with this palette. An example of use could be also to see how one of the palettes beside the first in a PLAYPAL look. Want to take a good look at how a texture will look when the player wears a radsuit? That's what you'll use.
