Preserved Preferences (Settings Page)

[rasyidf]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is always frustrating when we don't have global settings page / drawer / modal that can be used to preserve our preferences. moreover, with some customization that will be added in the future, (cursor color, layout?, defaults, language?, themes?) it needs some sort of settings ui

Describe the solution you'd like
we can agree that a dedicated settings page can be added (with capabilities of loading and saving data), and make it easier to reuse our preferences saved on LocalStorage.

Describe alternatives you've considered
If settings page isn't feasible in the meantime, we can add config file (as json) that can be import and exported by user.

Hi @rasyidf 👋 and once again thank you for your interest in makes-sense. It's very nice to know that we're already at that stage of the project that we should have a separate tab / popup with the settings. The thing that immediately comes to my mind is, setting the cursor color. A lot of users ask for this and I think it's a great opportunity to build the view you're talking about right away.

I will add this task to the scope of the make-sense beta project.

thank you for your interest in makes-sense

I'm currently using makesense as our research tools, and I've been using it for a while, this is great project, and worth contributing. glad to be part of this community.

yes, the cursor is sometimes off, especially on white image.

settings up default colors for labels, is also comes to my mind. what do you think about it?

Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope that this is not the end of the journey and with the help of creative people like you we can make some more noise. Regarding the cursor color, I am aware of this problem and will try to add this functionality in the near future.

@rasyidf what do you mean by settings up default colors for labels ?

@rasyidf what do you mean by settings up default colors for labels ?

   // /src/settings/Settings.ts
    public static readonly LABEL_COLORS_PALETTE = [
        '#ff3838',
       ...
        '#ff95c8',
        '#ff37c7'
    ]

I mean this. it would be great if we can specify label palette (I mean, it's not randomly picked).

[SkalskiP]

I was rather thinking that we could save that not in settings but in the saved project - #169. Label colors would be one of project metadata.

[rasyidf]

like I said before, it's just the default labels, so everytime users make project, they don't have to reapply their prefered labels.

[SkalskiP]

Hmm... you think people would like to have a default color palette?

[rasyidf]

well, thats just my assumption on how some apps even back from early desktop apps still using. look at windows command prompt, powershell, and even windows terminal, they shared same feature about default profile:

It's not necessarily important, but perhaps would be a good UX

Note : this will help only when make-sense is project based, and assume they're making projects occasionally
