Show Ink Manager settings in the Swatches panel
Show Ink Manager settings in the Swatches panel
Whenever we use Ink Manager to convert spot colors to process colors (1) or define one spot color as alias for another (2), this should be visualized in the Swatches panel so whoever edits the INDD can immediately spot (ha!) that changes have been made and fix them if needed (instead of shedding tears over inexplicable output results).
(1) Replace the spot icon by a “ink-managed” process icon that can be distinguished from the “native” process icon.
(2) Replace the spot icon by the alias icon from the Ink Manager dialog.
Make both (or why not all icons in the spot/process column?) clickable to be able to jump directly to the Ink Manager dialog.
Thank you.

I've asked for this for years. Just add the little ink bottle icon next to the swatch name. How hard could that be?
