Description: The 4-6 last used colors on the background color picker should be saved for reuse across documents. I use the same color-coding in all my documents and am constantly having to pick out my colors from the palette instead of from a recent pick list. Currently colors are not saved across documents or after closing the app. Steps to Reproduce: 1.select and use a background color 2.close and open new document (especially if after a few hours) 3.Try to select color from frequent used pick list (below palette) Actual Results: Usually no recent colors are shown to select from Expected Results: expect to see last half dozen used colors Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info:
No, recent colors are intentionally transient stanzas in user profile. Rather than a work flow depending on that listing we provide user ability to build a "custom" palette in their profile within the GUI, which can be reused in multiple documents. Open the Area dialog's -> Color tab, or the Character dialog's Highlighting -> Color tabb; the recent colors are there to pick and add to the built-in custom palette. The RGB HEX color values of the picker are written as decimal values with names into the user profile (registrymodifications.xcu) where they can be edited outside of a LO session. The Document colors palette has a few functional issues--but is intended to provide the same reusable palette colors recorded to profile, and can be saved to document template (as Hex values--without color name) for portability. And in addition to the provided Custom palette in user profile, it is trivial to build a palette of color tupples in a text editor outside of the GUI, and add to your LO installation share/palette directory with a name of your choice. Have a look at a .soc file in that directory for file format. The color names and Hex values of the .soc will be used in the GUI.
