Color presets

TurboHz

Hi,

I'm using Godot to develop a retro pixel art game with a limited palette.

In color selector windows, I can use the [+] button to add the current color to some kind of palette. That seems to be used by all scenes, so I guess I can populate it in one place with all the colors I want to make available.

Here's the weird thing, the problem: As I add those colors, no file in my project changes (git does not pick any changes in the code base).

Where are those color presets stored? I would expect them to be saved in project.godot, but no changes are detected in it.

After doing some Google searches and looking around the source code, it appears that the color picker presets are saved to the project meta data. Line 63 on this PR from 10/02/2018 seems to indicate that is where it is stored at least. The line of code is still present in the master branch, so I would say it is probably stored there.

Though where that get saved to on the file system, I have no idea. I think it might be saved as part of the editor settings, or maybe to appdata (or the equivalent on MacOS and Linux) (Side note: Welcome to the forums!)

You're right. I manage to find where the presets are stored. In my Linux machine:

$HOME/.config/godot/projects/[project name + hash]/project_metadata.cfg

That means that those presets exist per project, and only in the machine they were set.

That's too bad. I think I'll head to github to ask those to be moved. If you work in a team, or simply work on different machines, the presets are not shared.

Thanks for your help!
