Bug 328482

The palette on the RMB is a wonderful thing,but you seem to be limited to 8 entries


I wonder if it would be possible to have multiple RMB palettes.


If you see a palette as a toolbox,then you might have toolboxes geared to different needs. When you are inking you can have a lineart toolbox/palette,when you are painting with oil-style brushes,you choose that palette,when you want to go into a multitide of different gridbrushes you can as well...


Implementation itself could be easy. You just provide an "add new palette" button in the save to palette toolwindow,to create and manage your different palettes. When several palettes are present when pressin RMB you can show the different palettes in the 4 corners of the radial menu you can show them as small circles,or squares,or anything really ,keeping in mind the shape ot the radial menu and complementing it nicely.

So that way you can already have up to 4 different palettes.


A different way is to keep to only 1 button in the upper left corner,and when you press that you get a dropdown with the several palette names that are active. The benefit of this one is that the palette is less cluttered and more power is in the hands of the user to customize his workflow.
I feel this might be the better option.

When pressing dropdown keep holding stylus to scroll down the list,if you let go the palette is chosen,but the radial menu should still be open and refresh with the new brushes that are contained in that palette.

Maybe a way of naming your palettes could be an extra option ,but having just numbered palette names could be fine too.



I have no idea if this is possible but if it is,it would grant even more power to the user to manage his/her workflow
