Hi there I'm loving this extension so far! 
Is it possible for you to add some even number slots? Also I'm having a lot of difficulty figuring out how to copy the generated swatches to my swatches tab. Could you please explain how that works? Also, I would be interested in knowing if each of these styles of gradient generations have a name? It might be UI clutter for people who are already really familiar with each of the generated palette options, so maybe it could be something shown if you hover over one of the gradients or something.

Thank you so much for your time!

I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the script! To address your points:

1. I will not be adding even slot numbers. The middle slot for a lot of these is the current base color, and therefor the logic for generating the palettes would have to change completely to accommodate that. I am looking into a way though to allow users to add their own palette generators, in which you could possibly decide how many slots you wanted it to have. That is still a way out though as the logic behind that is extremely complicated.

2. I do not currently have a method to copy swatches over. This is mainly meant to work as a color pick helper and not necessarily a palette generation tool; though I can see how and why one would use it to do so. They can be saved though by just selecting the color and then adding them to your own palette for later use. I may look into a proper way to copy them in the future, though I'm not sure the extent to which I can touch/modify the users palette from a script.

3. While I would like to do hover text for clean info displaying, aseprite does not currently have a method for this (Not one that I have found at least). Each palette does have a name though; which can be viewed by going into `Settings -> Help`. In there, I have all palette names in order and certain ones even have descriptions for them.

Oh all of that actually makes a great deal of sense! Thank you very much for the insight. I appreciate your response a ton.
