  1. To reproduce: 1. Create a Global Swatch using the CMYK sliders: C60 M0 Y0 K0. 2. Create a second Global Swatch using HSL Sliders: any value. 3. Right click on the first Global Swatch (C60 M0 Y0 K0) to Edit Fill. 4. The HSL Sliders are displayed. 5. Switch over to CMYK Sliders to edit the CMYK values. 6. The CMYK values have changed to C48 M0 Y13 K0. The Global swatch has no memory of what colour mode it was created in, so the existing colour is converted between modes, depending on which colour selection method you used last. This results in the values being changed. If I want to use the Lightness slider to edit Swatch B, this should not affect Swatch A when I come to edit it.
  2. Sorry, this should have been posted un the Feedback forum. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/53-feedback-for-affinity-designer-on-desktop/
  3. I'm a new user, coming from Illustrator. Unless I've missed something there seem to be some oversights in Designer's colour handling. 1. I can Create Palette From Document to add used colour swatches, but these are always non-Global swatches. Although I can then convert them to Global swatches, the illustration colours aren't linked to these swatches. Illustrator correctly creates Global swatches when the Add Used Colors / Add Selected Colors command is used. In commercial design work it's common to have to edit colours in an existing file, and Add Used Colors is used a lot, for example to remove any 4-colour blacks or find incorrect colour mixes. 2. Likewise Select All Unused is a commonly used command in Illustrator. When preparing files for printing it's useful to be able to see exactly which colours appear in a file and to be able to delete and edit them. Illustrator has a strange way of doing this, where you Merge swatches. Personally I think Indesign handles this better, using a dialogue box. 3. Illustrator's Select Same (Fill, Stroke, Stroke Weight) command is also something that gets a lot of use, for line drawings and diagrams. I've added a comment to a different thread that is a feature request for this. 4. Not as important, but it is useful to be able to see colour splits without editing the colour swatch. Indesign has a Name With Color Value option and shows the CMYK mix when you mouse over the swatch. Illustrator uses the CMYK values as the default name when creating a new Global swatch.
  4. Adding another request for this. I'm an Illustrator user and new to Designer so I'm surprised that there's no way to do this yet.
