monolithic_dome Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I was working on a website mockup today and while producing a few different recolors I kept having to fight with the color choosers to do what I want. When using the Color Picker (eyedrop) tool, left click selects as primary color and right click selects as secondary color. This is really nice. The color window, however, is more confusing. left- or right-clicking a color will have different effects depending on the status of the color window, what happened before you picked a color, and which phase the moon is in. For example, say I want to make the primary color something on the palette and the secondary color something picked from the image: -Right click on image. Secondary color set -Left click on color in pallete. Secondary Color overridden, primary color not set. !$@#$!@# But when I want to select two colors, both from the palette, I can: -Left Click on Primary color -Right Click on Secondary color and everything works just fine. This is at least inconsistent, and was an irritation for me tonight. I love Paint.NET so much primarily because its 99.9% free of stuff like this.

monolithic_dome Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 Any chance I could get a word on whether this is the expected behavior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Yes, that's currently how 3.xx is expected to behave. I agree that it's not optimal, however.

monolithic_dome Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Alright. I might take a look at making a fix for this sometime soon. I've never had a look at the PDN code but I've hacked c# for long enough I should be able to take a crack at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'm not looking to change or fix this in the 3.xx codebase.

monolithic_dome Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Ah, I just realized that 4.0 is a complete rewrite. I'll live with it until 4.0 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
