Labelles for Labels colour

[omimet at free.fr]

Hi,
I remember this constraint, using DK (and testing some other DAM software) a few years ago.
I understand that this attached name has to stay in the DK session and can't be embedded in file/database
The spirit of my question is to ease allocation of each color during import session by having a clear understanding of what each mean FOR ME (for Web/for printing/for optimisation/...)
The idea could be to switch (or toggle) the DK interface to display the attached label instead of the color (which is remaining in the database).
But I have no idea if this facility can be wished by a lot of DK users...
Best regards,
OM
