Use of palettes in Publisher

[Gianni Becattini]

I created a palette with global colors. When I edit them in a chapter, all the items using in that color change accordingly (good).

I synchronized the palette with other chapters, and I used them. Again, when I edit the palette in the chapter, all changes accordingly (good).

When I change the palette in the master chapter and synchronize the palette in the other chapters, these palettes are modified accordingly (good). So I thought "wow, everything works!".

But... even if the palette in the slave chapters change as expected, the items using the palette colors DON'T change (bad).

To make them change, I must right click a color and select Edit Fill... When the miniwindow closes (without any change) all the items change as expected.

This makes the feature almost unusable: I should every time edit each color to make them active.

Did I miss some "update all" command?

Thanks

It seems absolutely repetitive and replicable.

Maybe that I was not clear in my description. In two words, when you export the palette, the colours in the destination file are not changed. You need to double click every palette colour to make them effective.

😁 can someone help me please? It is rather important for me and I am not able to find a workaround.

Thanks

I've duplicated the problem, it seems like a bug to me.

Global colours are correctly synced between chapters but objects that use them aren't updated with the new colour values.

The workaround for now is to open each chapter and tweak the global colours and tweak them back, for example, add 1 to Cyan and then subtract 1.

I reported this in the bugs forum

Hi @Gianni Becattini,

As Mike mentioned this definitely looks like a bug, so i've replicated the issue and logged it with the developers.
