save label/group colors

Post by Joost »

Hi!

In previous versions of TVPaint I could save my group (or label) colour scheme. If I remember correctly it said: "save as default".
Although the behaviour was sometimes strange (when opening a project from somebody else who was working with different group colours, my computer took over these colours, in stead of using my own), it worked fine.

In the new version of TVPaint, I can't seem to find a method to save the group colours as default colours... I can only choose to import/export them, but I don't want to do this every time I open a new project.
Is there anyone who know where this function went?


Thanks!

Is there seriously no way to change the layer/group colours and save it to the new default?

Why was this removed?...
Or am I just not looking in the right place?

Hello Joost, sorry for the delay of response. We will look into why this was removed in TVP11, the main lead would be that it could create conflicts when loading a project containing someone else's custom color group settings.

Thanks Dean,

Changing the color labels was always a bit of a hassle. But I liked it, to have the option to create my own labels. It's still possible, but if you can't change it easily, nobody will use it.

It's also a bit strange that you can't really use the color sliders to pick the color of the groups. When I want to change it, it immediately goes to the picker, and I can't use any of the sliders to fine tune which colour I want.

I don't know how it should be changed, but it's a bit of a struggle now... :)
