Saving palettes would be helpful #263

Open VictoryLlama opened 1 month ago

VictoryLlama commented 1 month ago

Is your feature request related to a problem?

it's annoying to have to delete an existing palette and then select every colour of a new palette, especially for huge palettes

Describe the solution you'd like

it would be nice if we could save palettes and load them again. like we make a palette, then save it in the extension itself, so even when we clear it we can load it again later

Describe alternatives you've considered

we could be able to create subpalettes that we can just select colours from

Anything else?

@VictoryLlama hanks for your idea. Can you please describe your use case little more?

I understand the need to save the palette somewhere else. But I don't really grasp what you mean by deleting and then selecting again? Do you need to clone palette to a new one but only with some colors?

If I can add a use case for this: I use the extension across multiple accounts on chrome. When I save a palette on one account, it is accessible (aka present) only in the same window / account. I am a web developer, and it happened that I build a palette for a client and then decide to create a new account/window for that specific project. In that case, I need to copy/paste each color in the new palette (and also reinstall the extension, but that's up to google chrome).

Since export palettes is already available, it would amazing to have the opportunity to import a palette from a previous export.

Thanks for your use case @giacomolanzi I'll definitely add importing, I just hadn't time to test it thoroughly at the moment I released new version.

I can't promise any ETA, I hadn't have time for ED since last release, but I'll try to.

i didnt see the email, sorry. basically what i meant is that, for example, i make countryball comics, where countries are represented by balls with their flags on them. now r/polandball requires posters to use the correct flag colours for their comics, and i use the extension to pick the colours of their flags. now each time i draw a certain country i need to find its flag and pick those colours, which is annoying. instead, what if you could save the palettes like a CSV file? so i can select all of South Africa's flag colours and then save them somewhere, then select all of Lithuania's flag colours, save them somewhere else, and be able to switch between those. so when i want one particular set of colours, i can just import those and use them.

it would also be good if, kind of like tabs, we could have 4-5 palette slots, where we can switch between palettes fast without having to clear the whole palette each time.
