No thread color names

Emeryth opened this issue · comments

I'm using VP3 format on a PFAFF Creative 1.5 machine.
It seems that embroidery files created with Ink/Stitch do not contain any thread color names, only the RGB values.
Is it supposed to be this way?
This makes it hard to use on a machine with a monochrome LCD.

Oh, I'd be curious if newer dev releases do already solve this issue for you?
If you don't mind testing ... pick the newest dev releases here: https://github.com/inkstitch/inkstitch/releases

You're right, I checked out the latest commit and now the thread number shows up:
thread1

For reference, the original embroidery files that came with the machine print the name of the color in the field that inkstitch puts the RGB values in:
thread2
That would be a nice feature to have, but the thread number is good enough for now, thanks!

Sorry, I somehow must have missed your response.
Ok, so now we have the thread number, but not the name. Maybe the displayed name is in the description?
Can you check this out?

Yes, it works.

Nice. Thank you for the feedback. Really helpful!
