New plugins: color tools

[edb]

Hello micheus and tkbd,

Preview looks OK, but maybe it would work a little different.
When we have LMB pressed and move around looking for the nice color we want it's OK it to be shown, but after we release the button it would be good if it was hidden again. I thought this because I noticed I was unable so see the colours behind it if I want to pick one (although it keep showing then correctly based on mouse position). And, in this case, If I was clicking on that region of the panel it would be interesting the preview be shown on the opposite side (left).

The preview square will need more changes. I can have the preview square move to opposite sides when it is in the way of the cursor. I'll see what I can do for when the color preview is dismissed. It currently dismisses when the cursor leaves the window as I notice Krita keeps a preview square open even after mouse release until the cursor leaves its color selector (though its preview square has its own borderless window).

Since it's fast to get many colours in the local lists it would be nice if the window would to be automatically resized (down) to accommodate and show all the colours we have chosen;

I'll see what I can do, the color panel also docks it's worth mentioning (it didn't for 2.2.9 for the first build but its now fixed). I could add a compact scroll bar button [v] [^] like InkScape has next to its horizontal palette.

It can depends on the mesh density, because of the performance, but thinking about to use this panel to speed up the vertex painting it would be nice we have an option to apply the preview color directly on a selection instead of just after release the LMB. Also, because in this process we are looking for a nice color to the object it can flood the color history with unnecessary colours - since by now we need to release the LMB first.

That would be neat, there's also the red selection coloring would make sense to have it somehow turn off temporarily during direct preview.

I'm starting to like it as an independent tool.

I'm glad its turning out good, thanks!

I checked color delete feature,It works fine

Thanks for letting me know it works tkbd.

So,I made a mini online tool support for assist the exported color data(column/hex data). It can sort the color order by hue.(But it is experimental not perfectly)

Access as plain text colors is very convenient especially for tools.
