[Color Picker] Convert color command has unclear functionality

[sasha-rp]

Extension

Raycast Version

1.84.7

macOS Version

14.5

Description

At first I thought the "Convert color" command wasn't working, but I think this may be more of a feature request. I would like to be able to choose the destination color format separately from the main color picker extension setting. Am I misunderstanding this command or does it not work as intended?

Steps To Reproduce

1. Run "Convert color" command.
2. Paste in a hex color.
3. Press Enter
4. The result is copied to my clipboad, but it's still Hex. Perhaps because my chosen color format in extension settings is already Hex.

Current Behaviour

"Convert color" command converts from HEX to Color Format chosen in extension settings.

Expected Behaviour

"Convert color" command allows user to choose destination color separately from the global color picker format setting.

There are different potential ways I could see this working:

1. Set the color format in the command's settings (just like the global setting)
2. User gets a prompt for which format they'd like when running the command (perhaps an inline argument could work, or it could be a "step 2" for the command if possible)
3. User can choose their desired format in the Actions panel (CMD+K) when running the command a. Example: if I paste in a hex color, I could get rgba() by pressing CMD+K, then CMD+1.

@sasha-rp Thanks for reporting. I think we can change it to a command with view for users to select the target format.

I've noted your feedback and put it to my schedule.
