Teaching PaintsChainer about characters? #140

Could we get to see a feature that would help us tell PaintsChainer (PC) about repeating characters so that it knows how to colorize these repeating characters without sooo much repeat-work? I've heard rumors of you working on teaching it to paint mangas, which is not too far from what i'm doing. Looking forward to the future of PC! Maybe I'm just missing a good data-set (or something) but not everything I work on has good (if any) amount of data I could pull out, so creating something manually to teach PC about it would help.

I know it is totally not my place to throw random suggestions about, but my wild imagination was:

You could import or create a set of images in PC and connect them to a "profile". For the sake of argument, we'll call this profile Alphonse Elric, FMA:B. Now whenever you are colorizing a FMA:B manga you could hit the "use profiles" button, target/select/highlight an area of the managa covering the character Alphonse, and choosing Alphonse Elric, FMA:B form your list. PC would know the targeted area contains "this character" which as "those colors".
