Remember last colour tab selection

[migo33]

Hi

In Publisher (and I think all apps) when clicking on a colour selection option the option defaults to 'Colour > HSL Colour Wheel'. Why can't it remember my last selection which is usually my own Swatches? The same when opening a file the Swatch drop-down reverts to 'Grays' rather than my last selection (usually my own created swatches).

Please provide an option in preferences to remember last colour selection or just preferred UI (studio?).

Maybe there is a valid reason for this decision. Perhaps it is to encourage a certain workflow.

Not really, since it doesn't help when working but produce errors.

Probably the way the apps are coded. In most of the cases, they'll paste directly proprieties values to a selected object — color values in this case —, instead of an objects model. As in: palettes[Grey].swatches[12]

If the apps where able to remember which palette and which swatch in this palette, they could get back the color values (color mode, channel values, opacity, noise...).

But in most of the case, the app just use the "details/values", and not where it's coming from. I suppose that's why, aside from Text styles, the apps are unable to tell you which brush, color, style, etc. was used on an object.

But the apps are able to remember the last selection. More document's variables could be added to help, about last palette/color/export path/etc.

Those missings features give bad or painfull workflow...

I'll check my other creative apps and see how they do it.
