I know you can export a spreadsheet that gives you the information that's on the floss usage table, but you still have to create the formulas yourself if you want a clear percentage. I have done that, but it's time consuming when you're only filling in ten stitches of one colour at a time, and there's still a lot of room for error when updating the spreadsheet. I've tried programming a bot that reads the data, calculates it, and returns a percentage on the touch of a button, but there's only so you can do with image recognition that isn't always accurate.
If I could make the font of the floss usage dialogue a little bigger then maybe it would be a bit more accurate but in general I feel it would be a lot more flexible if there was an in-built percentage tracker, and a way to mark stitches as complete so I don't have to add a new colour and use that.
Just a suggestion anyway. |

I'm not even sure what you mean by "percentage tracker". You can wait until you complete the design to access the stitch usage estimates.
Note - those estimates are just that - estimates. My experience has been that they are not that accurate. They are especially bad if you do LONG back-stitches rather than long stitches just to show them rather than the one-stitch at a time method you actually do for stitching.
