Labelles for Labels colour

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi

I captured more screenshots of the new editable Color Label Names feature :

As you can see, the color label names are propagated everywhere when
it's necessary, such as toolptip, image properties sidebar bar tab,
filter sidebar tab, plugin item selection in album mode, caption
sidebar tab.

Best regards

Gilles Caulier
