ronnyb Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 It would be great to add a Duplicate Palette… command to the Swatch Studio hamburger menu. Thanks for all you do! 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, macOS Sequoia 15.1 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 18.1
ronnyb Posted January 5, 2019 Author Posted January 5, 2019 Also, the workaround is to export the palette and then re-import it. When I exported the palette, ADbeta didn't honor the filename I gave it, and simply appended "2" to the original palette name. Additionally, AD imports the colors in reverse, so the original #1 swatch becomes the last swatch in the new palette, the original #2 swatch becomes the second to last, etc. Both of these behaviors seem counterintuitive. 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, macOS Sequoia 15.1 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 18.1

Staff Sean P Posted January 7, 2019 Staff Posted January 7, 2019 Hi Ronnie, thanks for passing these on I'll get them reported to development. However the Filename issue mentioned is by design - the palettes have an internal name which is used when importing rather than a filename. This is the same for other areas such as brushes and styles.

Isn’t that the point of a filename, to be recognized and identified? 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, macOS Sequoia 15.1 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 18.1

I believe it is to give creators a bit more control over the names and avoids filename character limitations from the OS. It also means that if a customer chooses to rename the file then the pack/creator name isn't removed when it is re-added. ronnyb 1
