Bug Description

The Gimp palette format allows you to specify the number of columns, which can (and is) used by palette authors to layout colors in a useful, 2-D arrangement.

However Inkscape's swatch view prepends a "X" (transparent) color to each palette, which causes colors to shift one column to the right. Thus, palettes in Inkscape are not laid out the same way palettes in Gimp are.

The swatch view should render palettes the same as Gimp does. The "no color" feature should be implemented some other way.

It's not a feature I use but is this relevant for any other palette other than "Tango icons"? That's the only one that shows an offset in an awkward way for me.

I guess you could put the "no colour" at the end, or expand it to be always a full row.

Well, there are plenty of Gimp palettes that have a layout designed to be easier to pick and easier to understand. (I've collected several of them at http://denilsonsa.github.io/gimp-palettes/index.html )
