When I activate the zoom picker, I expect clicking somewhere to set the current color. Instead, the window I click on gets focused (causing epick to lose focus), and the color is not set. My second instinct is to use the color pick shortcut key (p), but that doesn't work if epick is not focused. When the zoom picker is activated, the zoom picker window gets the focus, so epick doesn't receive key events.

Either clicking should set the color, and/or the color pick shortcut key should work when using the zoom picker, without having to click on the epick window first to focus it.

System info: Linux X11

I couldn't find any such key.

I would like something to the effect of

if ctx.input().key_pressed(egui::Key::P) {
    self.picker.set_cur_color(self.display_picker.as_ref().unwrap().get_color_under_cursor().unwrap());
}

Let the user define custom color display formats. For example, when working on an egui project, the user could simply define an egui color format egui::Color32::from_rgb({r}, {g}, {b}), which then can be easily copied to the clipboard with a click.

The design of the description language is yet to be decided, but I think a very simple basic language should be sufficient, maybe similar to the Rust format syntax.

Good to have features:

• [x] saveable across sessions
• [x] support decimal/hex (maybe octal, etc?) in the format syntax.

• Normal/custom formats can be selected for display/clipboard separately
• Custom formats are selectable from the same list as normal ones
• Dedicated window to overview and manage custom formats

Hi @wojciechkepka,

Thanks for sharing your application. I installed it the first time, using Arch Linux, When trying to run I get the following message and the app returns with 134.

[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
epick: xcb_io.c:269: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed.
[1]    43368 abort (core dumped)  epick

Tried both with and without running a composition manager, picom namely, got the same message and exit code. My window manager is dwm. Please let me know if there's more information I could provide to help debugging.

Thank you

I've found that on my machine (Linux/X11) dragging a colour around to reorder it causes the whole application to become unresponsive. This happens on both native and web, premade and from source.

This isn't an actual crash, there's no panic or logs left behind if running from terminal. It seems to act as if the drag event has stalled the UI - cursor remains in "drag" state, no repaints occur and the rest of the application is totally blocked.

Please let me know if there's better information I could provide to help debug this. I find this tool very useful for exporting palettes and reordering them in epick UI before export is much nicer than any alternative.

• More consistent layout for color indicators
• Option to auto copy picked color to clipboard when pressing P
• Let rustfmt format a file

Here is the new layout:

I exported my saved colors and got the following in the .txt file :

##ff455e ##bbff45 ##8845ff ##45ffe5

A single # in front of each color would be better in my opinion.

This can make it hard to click, as demonstrated in this video

At this moment egui doesn't expose current monitor size so it is impossible (to my knowledge) to automatically scale thus requiring the user to manually adjust the slider in the settings. The UI scale persists throughout launches as it is saved along with the settings.

Closes: #50

This PR finally resolves UX issues with zoomed picker on X11 Linux. With current implementation, the main epick window doesn't loose focus when picking colors from other windows.

I've tested on bspwm and KDE Plasma and both work well! :tada:

Connected issue: #32

There should be a shortcut to clear all colors that would open a popup asking if colors should be cleared. The same popup should be applied to the Clear colors button.

I have added Homebrew support.

Instructions for building:

In /scripts/homebrew

./build_homebrew.sh

This script will build the app with cargo and copy it to app/epick.app. Afterwards, epick.app is archived to a .tar.gz.

The epick.app.tar.gz must then be uploaded somewhere so it can be downloaded, like to GitHub's Releases. When uploaded, copy the link to the file and run

VERSION={CURRENT_VERSION} URL="{URL}" ./build_cask.sh > path/to/Casks/epick.rb

Where CURRENT_VERSION is the current version of the app (e.g. 0.6.1) and URL is the url of the .tar.gz file.

Now you will need a repo called homebrew-epick. You can copy mine: https://github.com/Jomy10/homebrew-epick.

Lastly: replace path/to/Casks/epick.rb with the path to your local copy of the epick.rb of the homebrew-epick repo.

Now just commit & push to GitHub and you should be able to install epick from Homebrew:

brew tap vv9k/epick && brew install --cask epick

The dialog expects a full path to file. If it were to work in the current way with the second Name: input, the show_open_single_dir should be used without the extension filters.
