Hi, a small bug again :)
Import, when mapping colors to some Floss Palette. If you map colors to Floss Palette which is a subset of Available List chosen in a (disabled) field above, it is OK. If you choose a Floss Palette which is not a subset of Available List, you will see a correct preview but the result is mapped to the Available List colors with using the number of colors of the originaly chosen Floss Palette.

Hope, it makes sense. Example:
Let's have "DMC Stranded Cotton" and "Anchor Cotton" as Available Lists and "DMC_Select_8" as a Floss Palette created from "DMC Stranded Cotton" List with using of 8 colors.
When we have default "Anchor Cotton" List, we check the "map to Floss palette" radiobutton and select "DMC_Select_8" Floss. We can see correct result in preview (pattern made from DMC_Select colors). We press OK button and we have a pattern made from eight Anchor colors.

Really hope it make sense :).

On a similar note, I was hoping that by adding all DMC, Anchor and Madeira flosses into one palettte I would be able to import a picture and map it to the combined palette, hopefully thereby getting a better colour selection but, the colours are only matched to one manufacturer. Is there any way round this?

You can create your own custom palette that would have bits and pieces of different companies. You can save that and then use it. That might do what you want.

There is no such thing as a stupid question
