Autoselect stroke or fill color

[Kaze]

Is there an option for the color panel to auto-select the color of the stroke or fill, depending of which one is used so that I can change it with just one click (instead of clicking on the selection I need first)?

 

This would be the case where a shape has only one of these two attributes.

 

For example, I have a square which only has a fill color (no stroke).

If I click on another shape, let's say a circle and I'm changing it's stroke color, when I click back on the square, I would like the color panel to auto-select the fill attribute (since it's the only attribute the square has) instead of keeping the stroke attribute selected (from the previous change). My logic is that I would want to change it's color rather than add a stroke to it. This way would eliminate an unnecessary extra click.

 

Does anyone have an ideea if this is possible? In Adobe's software obviously it's not, but I'm keeping higher hopes for Affinity.

Hi Kaze,

 

When you switch from one shape to another the colour selectors on the Colour Panel and Context Toolbar will update for that shapes fill and stroke but not auto select. If may be worth posting in the Features Request section of the forum.

Thanks for the response, Lee. I'll add it in the Features Request section, then.
