Converting Legacy Palettes

The format of palette files written by Slim 7 differs from that of previous versions. For the most part, Slim 7 will be able to read palettes written by previous versions of Slim. These attributes, however, will be lost in the translation:

Icons : Appearance icons (i.e. the rendered preview swatches) have a different resolution in 7. Icons in legacy palettes are discarded when loaded into Slim 7.
Graph Work Areas : The Network View is completely new in Slim 7, so data regarding Graph Work areas are discarded.
Window Information : Palettes previously stored window geometry. Because of the one-window nature of Slim 7, this information is ignored.
Collected Appearances : With the advent of Packages and Smart Palettes, appearances are no longer collected within one another. Any collected appearances in legacy palettes will be "exploded."
Bundles : Bundles have been replaced by Packages in Slim 7. As above, bundles in legacy palettes will be exploded.

Palettes saved by Slim 7 can not be read by previous versions of Slim. When saving a palette created by a previous version, Slim will ask if you'd like to first make a backup.
