Lorthiz Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 In help I found this: To convert an existing colour swatch into a global colour: In the Swatches panel, choose a Document palette from the pop-up menu. -click a displayed swatch and select Make Global. But I can't find this option anywhere. Is it implemented? Also is there a way to merge color paletes? Or import palete so it would instantly be made of global colors? Also when selecting color from PANTONE color paletes its instantly added to a document palette as global color with spot. Can users make paletes to work the same way or is it just hardcoded? ;P Also I have to say. Color paletes, global colors they work great even now, but they need a little polish in my opinion. They need a little more manipulation options. Should I add it to requests or meaby it's planned somewhere along the way? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 21, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hi Lorthiz, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) You have to right-click the swatch (colour well) and select Make Global from the context menu. See screenshot below. No, there's no functionality to merge palettes or to add colours as global colours by default.

Lorthiz Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Then I think we might have a problem ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted July 21, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 21, 2017 If you hover the cursor over the small palette icons the second one allows you to add the current colour as global. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 21, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hi Lorthiz, Sorry, seems this command is not available on Windows at the moment. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorthiz Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thanks for reply. I know about it. But after importing palete with 10 or more colors that are named after their purpose re-adding them might be tedious. This option would be a life/time saver. :) @MEB Should I add it in a bug section?

Staff MEB Posted July 21, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 21, 2017 I don't think this is a bug but something that wasn't implemented/added yet to the Windows version. Maybe it was an oversight. I'm logging this to be looked at. [EDIT] Issue logged. Thanks for your report/feedback.
