Independent Change Colors for all Engaged and Selected Outlines and Fills

Hey friends!

I noticed in some projects, especially where duplicate objects of different colors are required, I find myself wanting to select all of the objects elements and change colors all at once. However, in traditional Affinity (Designer is probably most relevant), if I change the fill, it changes all the fills AND adds a fill to anything that had no fill. If I change an outline, same thing. All shapes now get an outline regardless of whether they had an outline or not.

It would be really future-foward, with AI power and whatnot, to be able to select a group of objects that have a mixture of outlines and fills and hit a button that changes color only on actively engaged fills and outlines, leaving everything else unengaged. Would save loads of time.

I don't think anything like this exists anywhere, and yes, I sometimes use grouping and color overlays to achieve this, but you lose some capabilities that way.

Cheers!

Ignoring for the moment the items without a Fill or without a Stroke, I'm curious why, if different colors are required, you'd want to select all the objects and change them to a single color?

That seems counter-productive, in some way.
