Is color cycling still planned?

Is this feature still planned? Aseprite is my main editor by faaaaar, and I don’t want to learn ProMotion or GrafX just for one feature 😃

I’ve been using PixelOver for color cycling for the last few years, it’s not as convenient as having it in aseprite but it works very well.

I’ve been collecting a community and resources for people interested in making color cycling art. There are actually a number of tools available (though I’d certainly love to add Aseprite to the list!).

I feel like last time I posted a link here it got removed, but if there’s interest I can try again.

For anyone who missed it like I did, there’s this thread on how to do color cycling in Aseprite:

> [@Color cycling - palette shifting | v0.05 update 29.12.2020](https://community.aseprite.org/t/color-cycling-palette-shifting-v0-05-update-29-12-2020/7604):
>
> colour cycling script (current version here, for older versions see posts below): [test-4-clr-cycle] [test-4-clr-cycle\_2 Copy] few words how this works: when we think about colour cycling, we usually think about palette shifting. it is reasonable, however it seemed to me as easier option to shift pixel index values instead of shifting around palette entries. so that’s what i did. this script checks each pixel in cel for matches in entered list of indexes and switches them for the next entry …

It’s not a built-in feature, per se, but something you can do via scripting.
