Create a new highlighting palette, and create a new highlighting style in that palette
Open a Bible and select some text, apply that new highlighting style
Drop down the Visual Filters menu on that Bible and verify that the new palette you created now shows up on the menu (it will only be there once you've applied some highlighting from that palette).
Right-click on the palette name in the Highlighting Tool, choose Rename, and give it a new name.
Drop down the Visual Filters menu in that Bible again and notice that the palette still shows up with its old name.
Even if you close that Bible and then reopen it, its VF menu still shows the palette with its old name.
Even if you close Logos and reopen it, that VF menu still shows the palette's old name!

In some ways, sounds like current design (with Note file specified, then highlighting goes into a Note file with palette name). Wonder what happens if highlight after changing palette name ? (wonder if new Note file created, or existing one used)

It creates a new Note file with new palette name. Seems odd to me. The old Note file still exists, but there is no palette with that name anymore so no way to add more highlighting to it.
I can work around this problem by renaming the associated Note file when I rename the palette (a situation I found myself needing to do in real life; this was not a contrived test case). But renaming the palette ought to cause the associated Note file to be renamed automatically.
This is by design.
The Visual Filter menu shows the names of Notes documents, not highlighting palettes.

We do not currently plan to implement this.
As a workaround, you can rename the Notes document after renaming the palette.

But the Notes file was created from the name of the palette when it was first automatically created. Most users won't even know this connection. They see what's on the Visual Filter menu and think it's the name of their palette. They don't know about the intermediate step of the Notes filename. So if they rename the palette they will be puzzled why it doesn't get renamed on the VF menu and won't know how to fix that. This is pure lack of finesse on the part of the software. I don't mind if you say it's low priority because not many people are likely to rename their palettes. But keep track of it somewhere as something that really ought to be done if there's ever time.
I have created a bug for this issue.
Thank you. I knew good sense would prevail.
