Copy/Paste Option for Color Dialog ?

Post by GreetingsFromPoland »

hi! when working in the color selection dialog box, e.g. tags, labels, etc. (see screenshot), is there a way to copy the current/selected color code to the clipboard ?

i am mirroring colors between tags, labels and color filters and the only way so far i found is to add the color i am working with to "Custom Colors" and then go from there (which works great). occasionally i will use this outside of XY or need a color inside XY and i have found a copy/paste option for that.

it would appear that this is a standard color dialog so it may not be possible.

That is a standard Windows API dialog, so I also don't think it is possible without changing to a custom dialog.

But you can get/set the hex colors for Labels from <xytagdat>, or Color Filters from List Management, additionally most screenshot tools have an eyedropper you could use on the dialog.
