Gianni Becattini Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 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 Quote More than 30 Macs, from 1984 Mac 512K Plus to 2020 iMac 27" i9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianni Becattini Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 It seems absolutely repetitive and replicable. Quote More than 30 Macs, from 1984 Mac 512K Plus to 2020 iMac 27" i9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianni Becattini Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 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.

Gianni Becattini Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 😁 can someone help me please? It is rather important for me and I am not able to find a workaround.

MikeTO Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 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.

Staff NathanC Posted October 10, 2023 Staff Share Posted October 10, 2023 Hi @Gianni Becattini, As Mike mentioned this definitely looks like a bug, so i've replicated the issue and logged it with the developers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
