Palette Info inspector
The following information is available, and can be edited, for
the currently loaded Palette if one has been loaded.
If you have assembled your own set of individual Grooves in
the Palette, this information is empty.
With the exception of the rating, any changes are stored with
the Palette when it is next saved.
If the Groove Info inspector is currently showing, click the
Palette button in order to view the Palette Info Inspector.
Star Rating
You can set a rating for the current Palette. This is used as a
‘favourites’ system in the Palette Browser when the listing is
sorted by rating, making it easier to find your favourites. You
can specify a rating for a Groove or Palette from 1 (worst) to 5
(best).
When you rate a Palette, the rating is automatically saved into
the BFD2 Groove database – you don’t need to re-save the
Palette in order to store ratings.
