One of the things I have been hoping would change at some point is the way that colors are presented. As it stands now, you are given an alphabetical listing of colors, with no ability to rearrange according any sort of palette scheme (unless one artificially renamed them all).
Is there a way to arrange by RGB/CMYK value? Would others find that useful? Maybe hue/saturation? I also find that even though I may want access to the entire list of colors, I would prefer to have a much shorter working list on a given project. So, for example, there could be two color requestors, a working list and a repository, from which I could pluck colors at any time to add to my working list. This seems to especially come up when I am editing an old file, from which I got rid of all unused colors, but I'd like to switch or add one from the master list -- maybe not sure which one, either. The repository would not have to be saved with the scribus file, ever, since it has to do with the program, not the file content. It might also be useful to have some kind of indicator to show which colors are actually in use in a project, realizing of course that this would be subject to a kind of error in which I may have used a text color for one character that turned out to be a space, but that's a minor problem. This comes up like this: I might be wanting to use a color I used several pages ago, and I know it was a aquamarine-like color, but which one? Now all I can do is go back and highlight the instance to figure it out. I'll be interested to hear if others have similar or better ideas. Greg
