As well as the GUI client, Color Palette Editor also includes a command line tool which you can use to work with templates. The tool, ctktempr.exe
, is located in the Color Palette Editor application folder.
Unless otherwise noted, whenever the command line tools expect a file name, this can either be a fully qualified path, or will be resolved against the current working directory.
