Swatch

To enable some of the features, you'll have to use Terminal (found in /Applications/Utilities/) and the defaults command line.

Disable Automatic Database Saving

Swatch's database gets saved (if it's modified) every 5 minutes. If you want it to be saved only when you're terminating Swatch, use this command: defaults write com.fuelcollective.swatch FCDBAutomaticSavingDisabled -bool YES

To cancel this, enter defaults delete com.fuelcollective.swatch FCDBAutomaticSavingDisabled.

Availability: 1.2 and later

Enable Automatic Window Closing

Swatch doesn't close the window automatically when deactivated. If this is not the desired behavior, use this command: defaults write com.fuelcollective.swatch FCCloseMainWindowOnDeactivate -bool YES

To cancel this, enter defaults delete com.fuelcollective.swatch FCCloseMainWindowOnDeactivate.

Availability: 1.2.5 and later

Disable Automatic Window Closing After Copying Colors

By default, Swatch closes the window when the color is copied. You can disable it using this command:
defaults write com.fuelcollective.swatch FCDontHideWindowAfterCopyingDefaultsKey -bool YES

To cancel this, enter defaults delete com.fuelcollective.swatch FCDontHideWindowAfterCopyingDefaultsKey.

Availability: 2.0 and later
