Color Swatches broken using v1 files in v2 Affinity

[zimmt]

I am encountering a bug when trying to change colors in a saved color palette. Somehow changing one color randomly also changes another color to the same values. Pretty much every color is connected to a single other color. Very strange.

This only seems to affect v1 files which have been saved as v2.

I've attached a screenshot of a test palette containing only white. I only changed the white swatches to color in the first row. The colors in the second row were automatically added corresponding to each top color. Interestingly the dark blue was not added but the bug is evident regardless.

Can you provide a test file, both in V1 before saving as v2, and as v2?
can you provide screenshots of the exact conversion steps? I assume you opened the v1 file in an v2 app, and saved it again - overwriting the v1 file or as new file with different name?

 

Which exact app/version on which os do you use ?

I played around with this further and it has nothing to do with v1 files.

To create this bug create a new document using the latest v2 version (on Mac). Create a Document palette with at least one color. Then create an Application palette with at least 3 colors and change the second or third color to see the bug in effect.

I tried to follow your steps using v2.4.0 beta on Mac Ventura, but I don't see any of this.

unable to reproduce.

Please provide the details asked before, and an exact list of steps and screenshots, or a screen recording. As long as nobody is able to reproduce the issue it cannot be solved.

Details matter.

• Which App? Designer, Publisher, Photo
• Exact version of App? e.g. Affinity Designer 2->About shows 2.3.1
• Which document template / preset (Color Model)
• every single step you did

Maybe add a few more colors to both pallets. I can reproduce this as per the instructions above every single time. Make sure to change the colors in the Application palette as this bug does not seem to occur in Document palettes.

This is happening with Designer & Photo 2.3.1 on macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 on an Intel Mac (though I've also encountered it on an M2 Mac).

Document preset is Letter size in RGB/sRGB.

I thought maybe this is because I had some Application palettes imported from v1 but the bug persists even after deleting them all and creating new ones.

I could try deleting all user settings for Affinity but can't be bothered to at this time. The workaround is: just make sure the document has no Document palette when changing an Application palette's colors.
