Nice touch!  I had a need to get palettes from Photopea into RexPaint.  Photopea exports Adobe's ACO format.  I wrote this program to convert from ACO to GPL.

There are probably still benefits to having the traditional ANSI color support rather than full-on RGB.  Not all terminals support the higher colour ranges.

That said, I would probably let other programs that specialize in the traditional colorsets focus on that.

Yep, I put it up.  Check the releases tab for executables since no one wants to download a Go toolchain just to try this.

Yeah, I didn't use the existing ANSI export pipeline at all.  I just read the .fx file and exported ANSI codes.  I also generated UTF-8 ansi files since DOS Codepage 437 is rarer and rarer out there these days if you're not depending on a bespoke game engine.

So I recently realized that the Fall Creators update of Windows 10 adds support for 24-bit color in the console via ansi codes.  Many Linux and Mac terminals already support 256 and 24-bit color.

Upon discovering this I started looking around for a high-color ansi art editor.  The only serious one I came up with was Rexpaint.  After a few hours of hacking around the .rex file format, I can now export .rex files to .ans and display them in the Windows command prompt in full colour:



I'm hoping to release the program as open source soon.

Speaking of which, it would make me really happy to do some hacking on Rexpaint itself.  If it was open source, I would probably take a shot at porting it to Linux and adding support for native file dialogs via https://github.com/mlabbe/nativefiledialog

Thanks for Rexpaint!
