Will there be a Linux build for this program?

I've tried it with Wine and converting doesn't work.

I can look into rewriting the GUI of this tool. What I used here was a GUI programmed in something else that just runs an invisible command like that calls the tool, I'm sure since I could make a new one that's platform independant. Say, do any of my more recent tools (e.g. Palette Interpolator) work on your machine? That tool contains a JAR file you could manually run along with the Windows-only executable but I'm not sure whether Swing works on other OS'. It probably should.
Sorry for the late response.

I'm sorry for a late response, but, I have 2 results of the Palette Interpolator on Linux.

1. Windows only executable - It crashes with Wine.

2. Running the Jar file - I had to allow it to run as an executable first, but otherwise, loading in a palette, saving it, and interpolating seems to work properly, used OpenJDK 11 Java Runtime for the testing.

Don't worry about it, I had a friend that uses Linux test it for me too. Same results as you, the JAR runs, GUI and all. I just released another tool so while I'm still warmed up, I can whip up a Java-based GUI for this and release it so you can use this.
Thanks for being patient and testing it me.

So, I wrote a whole new GUI for this tool, entirely in Java. A friend has tested it and it does work under Linux, it's just that it needs writing permissions to the chosen output folder or else it won't be able to make the output file. Hope you get much use out of it!
