Color and other palette inconsistencies with macos workspaces

[jpsimmons]

Version 1.2.030.

Working with Macos, with a new document in a different workspace than the root window.

1. It changed the mode of the color palette that I've been using (hue, saturation, brightness) changed to a set of color swatches. No obvious way to get the original palette back, which had my color presets available. I can, obvously look around and probably find it, but this is an unnecessary diversion from my work.
2. The toolbox panel gets lost-no idea how to find it again. Panels -> toolbox is checked, but panel not visible.

This is a very buggy upgrade. Over the weekend, I upgraded via the automated menu way. Won't make that mistake again. Will install the new version in its own folder.

Something similar but not totally identical happened to me when I opened an old file. Instead of the CMYK I always use, the doc was set to Hexachrome and the objects when selected were set to MYKG (?) on the color sliders and HSB on the color wheel.
Mac and 1.2.030 as well.

@jpsimmons Can you send me a file where the palette is lost? I will try to find out what could have caused this.

@Devil-Dinosaur There might be a problem that something did not update correctly (sometimes the text resources are broken after update, basically the older text resources stay around).

The Hexachrome color support is present but not available to the user.

If you have a document where this is shown when opening, please send it to me.

@VectorStyler
Just sent it but, sorry, on the contact mail.

@Devil-Dinosaur send it to csraba at vectorstyler.com

@Devil-Dinosaur Got the file. I think this must be an older file. The problem is that the color component names are stored in the file as resource references, and there was a change in these a few months back.

There is no other problem, just the color names are wrong. To recover the file, convert to Default RGB (Document Setup), save, exit the app, start again and convert the document back to CMYK.

@VectorStyler
It isn't local to a file. I attached a screen shot. The horizontal bar in the middle of where the document would be? That's what I get for a color panel. When I Panels-><uncheck> Color, then I get a blank horizontal bar.

I run the old version of VS and don't have this problem. Expect it's not the config files.

If you want, I could just re-install the latest manually and we can go from there.

@jpsimmons The screenshot was not uploaded for some reason.

Please do a clean install of VS (including removing the user files from the Help -> Reveal Workspace folder).
