LazPaint doesnt have proper palette edition

[c-sanchez]

It converts to "true color" and then save as "best" 256 color palette.

Here an same image edited and saved with four graphic editors (Paint, Paint Shop Pro 4, PictBear and Lazpaint) to check the difference.

edit: sorry, I will try explain better the problem.

I'm noticed are several image editor saving wrong colors indexes. And only a few do it properly.
Unfortunately LazPaint is one making this wrong.

The number is indicating color index
I will say the color index in this order:
top right square, bottom right square, top left square, bottom left square, center (pink)

This is the original image
https://s6.postimg.org/4cjwgv6up/original_index.png
The color index is: 1, 2, 3, 4, 0 - as indicates the image, of course

Now, we will modify and save the image in these programs:
LazPaint, RealWorld Paint, PictBear, Paint Shop Pro 4.

The image edited with LazPaint:

The color index now is: 4, 1, 3, 0, 2 - wrong index

The image edited with RWPaint:
https://s6.postimg.org/6v5lhjskx/image_RWPaint.png
The color index now is: 1, 4, 2, 3, 0 - wrong index

The image edited with PictBear:
https://s6.postimg.org/v06az9cvl/image_Pict_Bear.png
The color index now is: 1, 2, 3, 4, 0 - correct index

The image edited with Paint Shop Pro 4:

The color index now is: 1, 2, 3, 4, 0 - correct index

Note: You can view the color index with Paint Shop Pro 4 using the color selector tool

Topic updated explaining better the problem.

That's true. LazPaint does not save the image palette as such. The palette tool only provides colors to use but the image is edited in 32bit color format.

Yes circular, indeed I realized that with Paint Shop Pro 4 or PictBear I can fix that with save the palette from original image and then load on edited image after.
Then just after seeing that, I thought of trying with the Palette Tool from LazPaint and I've noticed of that, It's just a list of colors hahaha 
Example images :
This is the same image edited with Lazpaint, Just viewing current image palette in PictBear

Can you improve the palette tool later?
