Hmm do we publish that those formats can be imported? If not, this is a feature request. You can use SwatchBooker to convert in the meantime.

Yes it is a feature published in the Spec section that Scribus can import those (*.ase) color swatches. Having trouble with installing SwatchBooker. Looks like EXACTLY what I need. Will try again. Thanks

The specs.html file provided in Scribus documentation provides the following list of supported swatches format.

Color Swatches: Adobe Illustrator (AI), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), GIMP Palette (GPL), OpenOffice.org Swatch (SOC) and PostScript (PS).

Adobe Swatch Exchange is definitely not amongst those.

But if you can supply us with a few sample .ase files it might be possible to add it to the importer. If we are able to decode that format then we could add it, but don't be disappointed when it's not possible.

The AI "Swatches" file won't open as well. It imports the colors from AI art work project without problem. AI "swatches" file I get an file contains no color information error. Will try and up load a simple of both *.ase and *.ai swatches file
