1. Re: Pantone Swatches Panel Not Persistent
Mike Gondek2 Feb 14, 2012 11:29 AM (in response to Chris Vreeland)Drag this file
into
Swatches flyout Menu >> Open Swatch Library >> USER DEFINED >> (choose the swatch library you dropped there)
Make this library persistent, save workspace (incase your prefs get reset in future), quit, restart illustrator. Viola.
Too bad the illustrator beta doesn't have better people, or problems like this would have been fixed a long time ago.

Chris Vreeland Feb 14, 2012 11:46 AM (in response to Mike Gondek2)That's very helpful, but for some reason when I do it that way, I get two copies of the panel in the same tab wen I relaunch, one the way I set it, to small list view, & the other defaulted to the small swatch view. Better than before, I suppose.

Chris Vreeland Feb 14, 2012 11:51 AM (in response to Mike Gondek2)Okay, weirdness. When I dragged the second one out of the tabset & closed it, they both went away. I reopened it, and they both appeared again on relaunch, and instead of dragging it out and closing it, I just unchecked persistent on one of them, and now it's all good. I guess one of them was the default set in aplications, and the other was the user defined one. (I had copied instead of just moving the file)
Seems like an oddly stupid bug for such a "mature" program.

Mike Gondek2 Feb 15, 2012 1:11 PM (in response to Chris Vreeland)I understand what you mean, the program should be more advanced by now, but then look at all the bugs in MS Word, and how long they have been around.
Not that much competition with freehand gone, besides Xara & Corel Draw. With Adobe using more and more second third world programmers for the engineering crew, not really as many great advancements like in the 90s. Still the best program out there for the job, but not sure for how much longer as Xara is gaining ground fast.

Some people around the world may be uncomfortable with that statement. Some others probably think it's an egregious defamation ...
... , not really as many great advancements like in the 90s.
Frankly, isn't that just pure nostalgia?

Mike Gondek2 Jun 15, 2012 10:27 AM (in response to Kurt Gold)Sorry Kurt and others, was in a bad mood that day. Was training people overseas, and after seeing all the pirated software and other things put me in that nasty mood.
