I have recently switched to gimp from paint shop pro.  I noticed a issue when opening a indexed image that had a palette applied to it GIMP will remove any unused colours (I have raised issue with the developers).  This will cause a issue if OpenBOR uses that image as a reference for all other images there may be missing colours.  I decided to use a act file for palette references as OpenBOR does not work with .gpl files generated by GIMP.

Found a windows tool to convert them for me and decided to share it. https://www.cyotek.com/cyotek-palette-editor if anyone knows any better cross platform tools for the job please let me know.
 
I do palettes using xnview, convert pngs to gif, and then change fiest color to magenta.Xnview has palette editor, not sphisticated but simpla and can also save palette ,then load it.
For my workflow its enough. Aseprite also has palette editor.I pretty much work on 24bit pngs , then i use palapply forcing palette on them.
