Favorite Palettes

Favorite Palettes is an Aseprite extension that lets you save up to 5 of your favorite color palettes, making it easy to access them anytime with keyboard shortcuts. 

Quickly switch between palettes without disrupting your workflow. Load your saved palettes instantly using shortcuts or select them from a handy menu with all your favorites.

 You can delete old palettes and add new ones anytime!  Check it out below and streamline your creative process with Favorite Palettes!

How To Install

1. Download the file here.
2. Execute the .aseprite-extension and install that.
3. Restart the Aseprite to use this plugin.

Requirements

A sprite must be open to use this extension. If no sprite is open, you cannot access the menu to use the extension. 

You need at least a 1.3-rc7 version of Aseprite to execute this extension.

How to use

The Favorite Palette offers two different menus for easy access.
You can find these menus in the Options button of the palette.

The first menu allows you to load or remove favorite palettes



There are 03 ways to load your favorite palettes:

1. Using Palettes Menu
This menu displays all palettes you've saved as favorites. Simply click on a palette's name to load it.


2. Shortcuts
You can also load your palettes using shortcuts: CTRL+SHIFT + [number], where the number can be between 1 and 5.

3. Show Favorited Menus
Alternatively, you can load favorite palettes via the Show Favorited Menus option (shortcut: CTRL+SHIFT+F), which displays all palettes you've previously marked as favorites.

To remove a palette from your favorites, use the Remove Palette menu.

The second menu can be used to save palettes as Favorites.

In this menu, you need to give a name to this palette (you can give the same name as the palette here).

Limitations

The first time you save a palette, the keyboard shortcuts won’t be available immediately. To enable them, please restart Aseprite, as the program loads shortcuts only at startup.

If you have any ideas on how to solve this limitation, please feel free to contact me.
