Why are the colours in Fashion+Home palette in Corel X5 with names not with TPC or TPX numbers?
Why than you can not open your own Fashion+Home Digital Library?
How the fashion and textile designers will work with X5 if all the fabric producers work with Pantone numbers not with names?
Is there a possibility to adjust that and how ?
I saw just the trial version I wanted this week to order X5, but I am wondering now ......
The names in the files came to Corel from PANTONE. What are you looking at that shows the names differently then how they are being displayed in the applications?

The Pantone Fashion and Home pallet swatches have two names - the Pantone reference name ( like PANTONE 11-0602 TCX ) and alpha name ( e.g. "Snow White" ) as secondary identifier ( http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/Pantone.aspx?pg=20051&ca=1 ). We used secondary identifier name as a name we show in our UI, however apparently F&H are quite different in this regard compared to other Pantone pallets. The original Pantone reference names are in the palette ( PantoneFashionHomeCotton.xml ) but it would require quite a lot of copy paste editing for user to make it work. We can regenerate F&H palettes using Pantone reference numbers, instead of secondary names, and make them available. However first we need to know whether nobody in textile/fashion world is using secondary alpha names e.g." Snow White" for reference. Currently our spot palette UI do not have support for both reference and secondary name, before F&H there was no need. Anybody who is using F&H Pantone libraries - could you please give your feedback about what Pantone reference you rely on - TCX/TC or name? Thanks.
