Before working on Object manager I decided to give a quick look at "Export bitmap" palette.
I'll admit up front that I don't have a better answer but I think you are going about this problem the wrong way and I ask you to step back and analyse the problem rather than the palette layout specifically.
Well, we have discussed this before and I was pointed to the fact that we need
1. Save as function. 2. A GIMP-like Export function. 3. An export bitmap palette (Designer C from Ted's report).
I have considered this discussion closed. Looks like I was wrong :)
Of the two palettes you have shown I must say I prefer the vertical palette because it is more likely to fit into any future dock (similar to what the GIMP uses). Also the reading flow from top to bottom is marginally clearer than two seperate columns and I think could probably be changed so as not to need frames for layout (while still retaining the clean tight layout).
I like the vertical one more as well (see my letter below in this thread).
