Is there a way to reuse color/incandescence ramps between fluids?  I’d like to display my fluid’s color ramp in a long bar, but the only way I can figure to do it is type in each color from the original fluid at each corresponding location in the bar’s own Shading color ramp.

The quickest way would be to save a preset from one fluid and apply it to another. Connecting attributes is possible, but a little tedious. In the connection Editor, you would need to connect

color
color[0]
color[0].colorPositions
color[0].colorColor
color[0].colorInterp

to the corresponding attributes on the other fluid. You must do this for each index in the ramp, so if I have five colors, I need to do this for color[0], color[1], color[2], color[3] and color[4].
