SOLVED / Color switch: How to keep All Libraries open as default view?

After the updates, switching colors for me is a pain, as now it does not keep “All Libraries” as a default view anymore, every time I switch a color I have to select → choose a library or local or All libraries… It is such a pain. What is going on? Is there a way to keep All libraries open at all times?

I would assume it should remember the last selection, but no, it’s based on the color that was on it in the first place.

Tbh, such a change in UX should really be considered better, I wonder which genius thought it was a better idea to limit user’s view to only 1 library by default… 🫠

    I just encountered this colour issue too. Shouldn’t “All Libraries” be a default view?

        @Figma_Support please revert this! It’s also driving me insane.

        I often work in kind of a draft mode, not a 100% perfect product world with all styles set at all times.

          Hello Community, hi @Van_Nguyen, I was thinking that he was a problem on my side, It’s very painful to work with many librairies. Please @Figma_Support Fix it.

            Same for me. I would much prefer All Libraries as the default. Or a way to set it as the default. I’m having to do lots of extra clicks just to set colors.

                Please fix this, it has been such a pain to support a major version upgrade of our design system with new atomic level elements with this setting being removed. Please make it possible for All Libraries to default or allow me to set it that way @Figma_Support

                      Massive thanks for fixing this issue so fast. I hope such a change in UX will be considered more carefully in the future (unless it was a bug). It is a small thing but it affects workflow dramatically. Thank you again!
