Pantone Picker Search

[cleay 15]

Hi,

I'm writing to suggest that a search box be shown anytime a pantone swatch picker is displayed. The picker is virtually useless without the ability to type a PMS number. Surprising that it's is not shown by default, and more surprising that it's sometimes not even available as an option. Would be a welcome addition.

 

Thanks!

Cleay.

You can opt to show as names and there is a search field that is a pita to click into as it is the same color as the panel. But it works fine.

In the main swatches panel, yes, but what about in other places? (as in my screenshot which is a colour overlay in a layer effect)

If you choose to show names in the swatch panel, it will show as names in the other dialogs and have the search field.

 

I do agree that the choice should be available in every panel (maybe it is and I didn't look close enough. The show as a list is sticky and I always set the swatches to show names so hadn't noticed the swatch view in the other panels before.
