Staff Sean P Posted February 5, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2021 This is working for me - are you sure you're specifically creating the global colour from an object? See my attached video. If this is still not working could you grab a video recording that shows the behaviour you're getting please? FromFillAsGlobal.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCamachoDesign Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Ahh... I see. I didn't realise that context menu entry existed at all. Yes, if I use that context menu then the function works as expected. I thought this referred to the button I highlighted in my attached screenshot. Well... I guess it kind of makes sense. The mouse hover help does say "Add current colour to palette as a global colour" which is technically correct, the current colour is being added, and the current colour does not necessarily correlate to the currently selected object... I don't know how to feel about this. At least the hover help needs to be reworded so it's clear only the colour on the swatches panel will be added and that it's unrelated to the shape? Something like "Add active colour in this panel to palette as a global colour"? Or maybe add in front "(right click an object to add it's fill & stroke colour instead)"? I'm not a native speaker so I'll let that up to you guys. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazmondo77 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I also thought it wasn't working as expected, surely theres a better way of doing it - why can't we have a shortcut option to maybe hold down alt and click on the add global icon? woefi 1 Quote Mac Pro Cheese-grater (Early 2009) 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Ram, Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5, Ugee 19" Graphics Tablet Monitor Triple boot via OCLP 1.2.1 - Mac OS Monterey 12.7.1, Sonoma 14.1.1 and Mojave 10.14.6 Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo 1.10.5 - 2.2.1 www.bingercreative.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that - I'll get this passed over to development to be looked into. woefi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
