To transition your old library, navigate to the location you saved it originally and copy the contents of the text file to your system clipboard. In the Chroma widget settings (click the "i" icon in the upper right hand corner), select "import" and choose how you want to treat the incoming data. Values will be automatically converted into the new floating point format and saved in the internal library. Data can be exported and traded between computers using the same method. While this may not be ideal for syncing a library across systems, it should be much more robust, avoiding the 4096bit limit seen on some macs while using the command line to save the full library to a flat file. Bugs could still be present, however, so I look forward to any feedback you might have!

While it's possible to create multiple instances of the Chroma widget, all of which would share the system-wide library, saving in one widget would overwrite changes from other instances of the widget. For obvious reasons, I don't recommend this. :P
Let me know if you find any issues, I'll do my best to fix them!
