Hi @organictrain, sorry to hear you’re running into trouble.
Could you please tell me what version of Aseprite you’re using and the palette name you tried to import?
This error typically occurs when Lospec sends bad data to the extension, or generally means the palette info was mangled somehow.
You may also want to check that your firewall isn’t blocking traffic from Lospec, as some users have found that.
For now, please try removing and reinstalling the extension.
I have the same issue as you and yes I'm on Linux and Install Aseprite through Steam.
So when I run aseprite from steam it will throw me `lospec-palette-importer.lua:344: unexpected end of input` error
After add some debug check and I found out that it logged this.
/usr/bin/curl: .../SteamLinuxRuntime/.../libcurl.so.4: version
`CURL_OPENSSL_4' not found (required by /usr/bin/curl)
That means when Aseprite (launched under Steam runtime / a sandbox) runs /usr/bin/curl it ends up picking up the runtime's libcurl which is incompatible with my system curl binary. The curl binary therefore prints an error instead of JSON, causing the JSON decode failure.

You can take a look at this:
It works fine for both Windows and Linux, not sure about Mac, but it would just fall back to use default one if not Linux

Hi, having some issues with the extension, the daily Palette says the name is invalid and if I try to open any other Palette it keeps sending the first message. Can this be because the extension is installing on the wrong disk as Asprite is on another one? if so were should I move it?
Hi @hinehole@ Can you answer a few questions for me please:
/palette-list/ in the lospec.com URL)?There are otherwise zero issues on Linux I've encountered so far.
Is the palette name in general sanitized? It looks like there are some other crazy symbols that are also disallowed on Windows, e.g. the pipe, like this palette: https://lospec.com/palette-list/fourlines-22
Glad to hear it! Some Linux users have reported that the extension trying to use curl is broken for them - I haven’t nailed down a good fix, and my Linux setup is just a separate partition on this MacBook, so it’s maybe not 100%.
The palette name (as provided by the user) is “sluggified” using a lua port of Skeddles’ own “sluggify” that he uses for Lospec proper, but (as far as I remember) the raw name is used for saved palette files - I’ll look into sanitization for those too.
FWIW, I tried a different r/place palette and encountered the same issue, so I think you’re right on about the slash being the issue:
And I didn’t have any issue saving “|||| 22 PALETTE” on MacOS, so I’ll chalk that up to platform-specific shenanigans.
What I might do is fall back to saving the palette using its slug if using the actual name fails (and if that fails, something else is up).
Thanks for the report!
