11clock Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 I accidentally added swatches to one of the palettes by clicking the "Add current fill to palette" button, and I cannot figure out how to remove them. I read that you can right click them to delete them, but right clicking doesn't seem to work on palettes that I didn't make. What do I do?

It won't, for Palettes installed via from the Affinity Store via the Account dialog. For those, you would need to click on the Panel Settings ("burger" menu), choose Uninstall Pack, and then re-install from the Account dialog.

No. If you install via Account, you cannot delete swatches from that Palette. If you want to be able to delete swatches, download the pack manually from your account at the Affinity Store, and install it manually. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop 1: Windows 11 Pro 24H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

The recipe I provided works for the OP's situation, where they mistakenly added swatches to a Store package. It deletes all the swatches that shouldn't be there and restores the package to having it's intended content. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop 1: Windows 11 Pro 24H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

R C-R Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 FWIW, I was playing around with this using the (same as for the OP?) Frankentoon - Splat: Colors palette & noticed a few things that may be of interest: When automatically installed from the app Account window, this & the other store palette packages get a different icon from the builtin & manually created palettes. It looks a bit like a valise or purse, I guess to suggest it is part of a package? I could not add a new swatch to them -- the Add current fill to palette button is greyed out & has no effect. As noted, these swatches can't be deleted or renamed but they can be duplicated via Make Copy & the duplicates can be renamed or deleted. In V2, these palettes are automatically linked to all the installed V2 apps so it does not matter which one they are installed from via the Account window. In contrast, if these palettes are downloaded from the user account at the Affinity Store & manually installed, they act like a regular palette so individual swatches can be deleted, they can be linked or unlinked as desired, etc. thomaso 1 All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.6 Mac apps (currently 2.6.4); 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7
