Comment 11 for bug 643150

how difficult would it be to get this to work with /all/ swatches (not just spot colors)? i am working on a project that has a main file, but i do small designs of objects in their own files, and then paste them into the main file.. right now, some swatches appear some 10+ times.. and all except one are unused.

would it be possible to detect a swatch being pasted with the same name and then compare its properties (gradient etc) and if equal, just reuse the swatch already in the doc? from what ive understood of swatches, thats the whole point, right?
