Failing to create global swatches or colour group from custom swatches



  • I used Create from Image File command to create a palette and selected multiple colours from my custom swatches trying to convert them to Global Swatches / Colour Group, but it appears that I can only create a single global swatch at a time... Clicking on the Create Colour Group icon is not producing any results.

    Suggested Solutions:

    1. Add Set Global Mode and Set Spot Mode in the custom swatch panel menu.

    2. Add a new command (Add to Default Palette) in the custom swatch panel menu. In the default palette I can easily create Colour Groups or just select Set Global Mode to convert these expanded swatches to global.

    3. Add Create/Convert Global Swatches icon at the bottom of palette panel where the other icons reside.

    4. Add Global Colour Mode option in the Create from Image File modal view.

    @William-Kansepa I opened a bug on this one because it should already work with the "Register As Spot Color" palette panel menu option. But that option does not work with unnamed colors.
    I will extend this to be able to generate color names.
