Re: Ticket #6131 - Can't save color
Bump. Can someone fix this before v0.20 release?

@jnxd could you take a look at this? issue #6131jnxd wrote: pinged by pinger macro
I can still reproduce. Notated on ticket.

Re: Ticket #6131 - Can't save color
Some notes:
1. The color data is not stored in the mesh file (its a .unv file)
2. If I right click and select "random color" on the mesh, only one triangle's color is updated.
All in all I am slightly suspicious of giving individual mesh entities different colors, since there can be millions and even billions of them. There may be some algorithmic uses for this, but I don't know of them. If we do want them to have individually defined colors it might also be useful to make a way to group them, which definitely has some uses for parallel computing.
Either way I suspect any color saving will come in "feature" territory rather than bug.

Re: Ticket #6131 - Can't save color
It is not a file yet. Here just trying to save the info into a file. A freecad file I think.
Re: Ticket #6131 - Can't save color
The .FCStd file is a zip folder (just open with your archive software like winzip, or change the filename to .zip). In that you can see the .UNV file. This as far as I can tell comes from https://www.ceas3.uc.edu/sdrluff/, but I am yet to find out which structure it is.
