| 2026-11-10 | minor | PDF import: an image in a DeviceN space of one colorant opens as a Separation image does (#6314): a grayscale image of its tints colorized by its ink. One of two or more colorants that are all process plates (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, and the ink `None`) opens as a CMYK image, each colorant's tint in its plate and its Decode array applied (8 or 16 bits a sample; one that can't be read, such as a JPEG, opens in RGB with the CMYK images' warning). Both used to open as RGB images, losing their inks. A DeviceN image that mixes a spot ink with other colorants, such as a duotone, still opens as RGB: an image holds one ink or the process plates, not both (#6348). Tests `colorize::a_devicen_image_of_one_ink_opens_colorized_by_it`, `colorize::a_devicen_image_of_process_plates_opens_in_cmyk`, `colorize::a_duotone_devicen_image_still_opens_as_rgb` |

| 2026-11-09 | minor | `.ai` import: an image whose color space `XC` sets to one ink (`n [c m y k /DeviceCMYK (name) /Separation] XC`, or an RGB alternate) opened as a gray RGB image: its samples, the ink's tints (255 at 100 %), were read as gray levels, so the tints drew inverted and the ink was lost. It now opens as a grayscale image of the tints, black at 100 %, colorized by the ink at 100 %: a spot swatch, a process plate's CMYK color (no swatch of its name), or Registration; the ink's color counts toward the document's color mode as a fill's does. Its alpha channel becomes its opacity mask, a reduced large image's too: a colorized image reduced to fit the limits (an image mask included) now keeps its alpha as an opacity mask rather than in its pixels, as at its full size. 8-bit and 1-bit samples, binary or in hex comment lines. A device space (`/DeviceGray XC` after a linked image's file name) and the ink `None` change nothing, as before; linked images (`XF`) keep their placeholder. Tests `import::ai::tests::separation_images_are_colorized_with_their_ink`, `separation_images_of_process_plates_and_registration`, `a_separation_image_with_hex_comment_lines_keeps_its_ink`, `a_reduced_separation_image_keeps_its_ink_and_its_alpha_as_a_mask` (#6350) |

| 2026-11-09 | minor | PDF import: an image in a Separation color space (one ink, ISO 32000-1 §8.6.6.4) opens as a grayscale image of its tints (white where it lays no ink, black at 100 %, its Decode array applied; 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 bits a sample, or one gray channel from its JPEG, CCITT, JBIG2 or JPEG 2000 decoder) colorized by its ink at 100 %: a spot ink's swatch, a process plate's CMYK color, or Registration. It used to open as an RGB image, losing the ink, and Fill and Recolor Artwork didn't reach its color. Its soft mask or mask becomes its opacity mask, as a CMYK image's does. The ink is found by the image's color space (kind, colorant name and tint transform), once per image. As with any colorized image, where it lays no ink the art under it shows, where the RGB image was opaque white. The ink `None`, which paints nothing, an ink whose color can't be told, an image inside an alpha soft mask, inline images and DeviceN images open as before; samples that can't be read (data cut short, a decoder's output of another layout) open in RGB with a warning, and the ink gets no swatch. Tests `colorize::a_separation_image_opens_colorized_by_its_ink`, `colorize::a_separation_image_reads_its_samples_and_decode_array`, `colorize::a_separation_image_of_a_process_plate_or_of_no_ink`, `colorize::a_separation_image_keeps_its_soft_mask`, `colorize::a_separation_image_drawn_twice_is_colorized_twice`, `colorize::a_separation_jpeg_opens_colorized_by_its_ink`, `colorize::a_separation_image_that_cant_be_read_stays_rgb` (#6314) |

| 2026-11-09 | minor | PDF import: an image mask (`/ImageMask true`, ISO 32000-1 §8.9.6.2) painted in a solid color opens as a grayscale image of what it paints (black, the rest white) colorized by that color, as the `.ai` reader opens a 1-bit image mask (#5790). It used to open as an RGB image with the color in its pixels: Fill and Recolor Artwork didn't reach the color, a spot color lost its ink, and the same mask painted again in another color took the first color, in an uncolored pattern's cell too. Its color now counts toward the document's color mode, as a fill's does. A spot color is found by its color space, as a fill's is when the page's walk names no ink: two spaces of other inks with the same alternate and tint transform can't be told apart, and the color comes in as RGB. Inside an alpha soft mask, or painted with a pattern, a mask opens as before. Tests `colorize::an_image_mask_opens_colorized_by_its_spot_color`, `colorize::an_image_mask_drawn_in_two_colors_keeps_both`, `colorize::an_uncolored_pattern_drawing_an_image_mask_keeps_each_color` (#6313) |

Raster rendering fits and preflattens curved stroke outlines more tightly only below four times the raster tolerance, retaining thin-band coverage without changing stroke weight or vector export geometry. Current cached character/object outlines, cropped long strokes, gradient clips and effect rasters share the helper; cropped-region reuse and guarded flattening remain. The unchanged `fractional_curved_strokes_retain_coverage_between_notches` regression covers fractional weights, rotation, phase, opacity and f32-rounded endpoints. This is a quality/cost tradeoff, not a speed claim. Scores and estimates unchanged.

- **Window › New Window (G7, #4116):** New Window (`window.newWindow`) opens another view of the current document ([public source](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/viewing-artwork.html) describes showing one document in several windows at once), with its own zoom, center, rotation, artboard and Outline or Preview, as a tab of its own; an edit in one view shows in every view. Tile, Cascade, Float in Window, Float All in Windows and Consolidate All Windows arrange each view as they arrange a document, and Next and Previous Document step through the views. Closing a view leaves the document open; closing its last view closes the document, asking to save it first. The view's number after the name in its tab ("Name:2", while the document has more than one view) is VectorCraft's own. Tests: `crates/ui-egui/src/doc_windows/tests.rs`.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Document Setup modal handoff:** Document Setup → Edit Artboards applies valid settings, closes the dialog and activates the Artboard tool. Pointer-click tests cover successful handoff, invalid settings, OK, Cancel and Undo in `dialogs/document_setup.rs`.
|
||||
- **New Document's More Settings and Save Preset:** More Settings opens a pop-up over New Document with only Number of Artboards, the artboard layout, Change to Right-to-Left Layout, Spacing and Columns; Done, Escape or a click outside closes it and keeps the values. Save Preset turns the top of Preset Details into a Save Document Preset heading with the preset's name, Cancel and Save, and hides the document's name, Close and Create until the preset is saved or canceled; nothing in that mode creates a document. Save Preset's default name is the first "Preset N" no saved preset has. VectorCraft's own layout. Harness tests in `dialogs/new_document.rs` cover both.
|
||||
- **Control bar with the Artboard tool:** while the Artboard tool is in use, the Control bar shows the active artboard's controls in place of the object controls: Preset, Portrait and Landscape, New Artboard, Delete Artboard, the Name field, Artboard Options, Rearrange All Artboards, the Transform link, Move and Scale Artwork with Artboard and, while the bar has room, the reference point with X and Y, and W and H with the Constrain Width and Height Proportions link. Each runs the command its Properties or Transform panel counterpart runs (`artboard.setProps`, `artboard.new`, `artboard.delete`, `tool.options {tool: "artboard"}`), and the reference point is the one the Transform panel uses. In an 800-point window the controls up to the Transform link fit, Move and Scale Artwork with Artboard show as their boxes alone with their names in tooltips, and the link opens the Transform panel with the artboard's position and size. Pointer and key tests in `panels/artboards.rs` cover the controls, W about the reference point, the orientation and the name. Public reference: [Using multiple artboards](https://web.archive.org/web/20210925094818/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/using-multiple-artboards.html) (archived copy).
|
||||
- **Names of new and renamed artboards, brushes and patterns:** `artboard.new` and `artboard.setProps` trim the white space around the name they are given, as the Artboards panel's rename does, and a blank name gives the artboard its default name, Artboard N for the Nth artboard. `brush.new`, `brush.duplicate`, `brush.options`, `object.pattern.make`, `object.pattern.saveCopy` and `pattern.options` trim the name as the Brush Options dialog and the Pattern Options panel do, and compare the trimmed name with the names there are; a blank name gives the name each command gives when there is none, and Brush Options and Pattern Options keep the name. Tests in `tests/panelcmds.rs`, `tests/brushsym.rs` and `tests/pattern.rs` cover each command. Public references: [Using multiple artboards](https://web.archive.org/web/20210925094818/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/using-multiple-artboards.html), [Brushes](https://web.archive.org/web/20251018101754/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/brushes.html) and [Create and edit patterns](https://web.archive.org/web/20211031180358/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/create-edit-patterns.html) (archived copies).
|
||||
- **Pattern names and swatch names:** `pattern.options` refuses a new name that another pattern, a swatch or a color group has. It takes a name that only the pattern's own swatches have. The reference page does not say what happens when the new name is taken; the refusal follows VectorCraft's rule that swatches and color groups share one namespace (`Document::swatch_name_taken`), which `swatch.new` and `swatch.edit` also follow. A rename gives the new name only to the pattern's swatches that had the old one; any other swatch with the old name keeps it, and art linked to that swatch stays linked. `object.pattern.make` and `object.pattern.saveCopy` number a color group's name as they number a swatch's. Tests in `tests/pattern.rs` cover each command.

- The Control bar's underlined Transform link opens the Transform panel in a popover under it (reference point, X/Y/W/H, Rotate and Shear with their icons and angle presets, flips, shape properties, Scale Corners and Scale Strokes & Effects), as its Stroke link does the Stroke panel; X/Y/W/H also show inline while the bar has room. The reference point locator is nine squares, the outer eight joined around the box. As VectorCraft's own keyboard rule, the locator is one tab stop in the Control bar popover, the Transform panel, the Properties panel and the dialogs, the Arrange Tools dialogs included. While it has the focus it shows an outline, and ←, →, ↑ and ↓ move the reference point one square, stopping at the edges (`the_reference_point_grid_is_one_tab_stop`, `arrow_keys_move_the_reference_point`, `the_reference_point_locator_is_one_tab_stop_and_arrows_move_it`).
|
||||
- In isolation mode the Control bar has an Exit Isolation Mode button (`object.exitIsolation`), except while a pattern is edited. Outside isolation mode, with one group, compound path, path, image, mesh or placed file selected, it has an Isolate Selected Object button (`object.isolate`), which also isolates a path inside a group that Direct Selection selected.
|
||||
- While an opacity mask is edited, Exit Isolation Mode (Esc, the isolation bar's back arrow, the Control bar's button, and the Layers panel menu's and canvas context menu's Exit Isolation Mode) leaves mask editing as Stop Editing Opacity Mask does, in one undo step: the mask keeps the edits, and the masked object is selected. While a pattern is edited, the Exit Isolation Mode item of the Layers panel menu and of the canvas context menu saves the pattern and leaves pattern editing, as Done does.
|

- Numeric spinner arrows keep stepping while held with the mouse past the click timeout and stop on release (#6307; `a_held_spinner_arrow_repeats`).
|
||||
- Tab shows and hides the panels (in the Type tool it types a tab) without moving the keyboard focus onto a field, so the next shortcut or letter still works; in dialogs and panel fields it moves between fields, one press each — a numeric field's scrub label is not a tab stop of its own, and the Transform panel's, Properties panel's and Control bar's W/H link comes after the fields it sits between (`one_tab_moves_from_a_field_to_the_next`). A field's up/down spinner, the chevron that opens its presets (Stroke Weight, font size, Rotate, Export for Screens' scale) and the Transparency row's opacity slider chevron are not tab stops either. Alt+↓ with no other modifier in a field with presets opens them with the keyboard focus on the chosen one, instead of stepping the field down; Enter picks the focused preset without pressing a dialog's OK, and after a pick or Escape the field has the keyboard focus again (`tab_goes_from_field_to_field_past_the_spinner_and_the_preset_chevron`, `tab_goes_from_the_opacity_field_past_its_slider_chevron`, `alt_down_opens_a_fields_presets_for_the_keyboard`, `escape_closes_a_fields_presets_and_returns_to_the_field`).

The Blob Brush Tool Options' tip preview is the Angle slider for screen readers, with the Angle in degrees as its value: a click or a drag in it points the Angle at the pointer and gives it the keyboard focus, Tab reaches it after the Roundness field, and the arrow keys step the Angle by 1° (10° with Shift, Home and End to −180° and 180°).
|

The Blob Brush Tool Options also have Fidelity, which the reference app's [Blob Brush options](https://web.archive.org/web/20261012042029/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/paint-and-fill/learn-painting-basics/blob-brush-options-and-best-practices.html) list as setting how far the pointer moves before the path gets a new anchor point. The range and default are VectorCraft's own values: the Pencil's logarithmic slider from Accurate (0.01 pt) to Smooth (20 pt) and its field (up to 100 pt), 1.5 pt by default and kept with the tool's options. The brush follows the stroke fitted at the Fidelity, as a Pencil stroke is fitted: a low value follows the drag closely, jitter included, and a higher one gives smoother curves (`path.blob` `fidelity`).
|
||||
A Blob Brush stroke merges with the topmost path of its fill color and no stroke that it touches, and with the other such paths it touches in the same group or layer that are next to that path in stacking order with no other kind of object between them; matching paths in other groups or layers are left alone, as the Blob Brush tool guidelines in [Paint with fills and strokes](https://web.archive.org/web/20241219085603/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/painting-fills-strokes.html) describe (`path.blob`).

- **Ruler guides as layer objects:** a guide goes on the current layer, shows, hides, locks and is deleted with it, is listed in the Layers panel (its row selects it) and moves to another layer (`guide.setLayer`, or its row dragged onto that layer's rows); guides on a hidden or locked layer can't be selected, moved or deleted, Duplicate copies a layer's guides and Merge Selected and Flatten Artwork keep them on the merged layer; guides from files saved before guides had layers go on the top visible, unlocked layer when the document opens. Not done: guides stacked among the art of their layer (they are listed above it), a guide row's own eye and lock. Lock Guides also locks the objects made into guides: they can't be selected, moved or deleted (#1543); they are drawn in the guide colour and style of Preferences, and a dragged selection snaps to ruler guides with Smart Guides on (#1583, fixes #1534). The Transform panel shows a selected ruler guide's X or Y, and typing a value moves it (#1659, part of #1597). This is not established by the documentation we could find: the public help pages on guides, rulers and the Transform, Control and Properties panels (read again on 2026-10-14) describe selecting and dragging unlocked guides and the panels' X and Y for a selection, not a guide's position in a panel, and the one public statement of it is a user's [community answer](https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/adding-a-new-custom-guide-785586), which is not documentation. It is kept as a convenience pending the owner's decision, with no parity claim and nothing counted towards a score.

- **Releasing ruler guides:** View › Guides › Release Guides turns the selected ruler guides into paths with no fill or stroke. An artboard guide becomes a line across its artboard, and a canvas guide becomes a line across the artboards (`view.guides.release {index?, ids?}`). A Cmd/Ctrl+Shift double-click with the Selection, Direct Selection or Group Selection tool releases the ruler guide or guide path under the pointer.
|
||||
- **Layers panel:** every layer, sublayer, group and object is a clickable row at any depth: a click highlights it and makes its layer current (new art goes there), Shift-click a range, Ctrl/Cmd-click toggles. Sublayers are no longer treated as objects: clicks, marquees, Select All and the Select menu take the art inside them, and each sublayer selects in its own colour. Selection squares on rows with selected art (click selects a row's art, Shift adds or removes; dragging the square moves the selection to another row, Alt copies), the eye and lock on every row with drag-down-the-column (one undo step), Ctrl/Cmd-click an eye for per-layer Outline, Alt-click an eye or lock to hide or lock the other layers (again: show or unlock them all), triangles with Alt to open or close everything inside, drag and drop rows above, below or into layers and groups with a drop line (Alt copies) and a dimmed copy of the row under the pointer (layers dropped in the empty space under the last row go below the bottom layer, #2260; dropped on the trash rows are deleted, on New Layer duplicated, as in Illustrator), inline rename, Delete key on highlighted rows. Buttons and the full panel menu: New Layer/Sublayer (Alt: options, Ctrl: on top), Duplicate, Delete, Options for Selection, clipping mask, isolation, Locate Object, Merge Selected, Flatten Artwork, Collect in New Layer, Release to Layers (Sequence and Build), Reverse Order, Template, Hide/Outline/Lock Others and Show/Preview/Unlock All, Paste Remembers Layers, Panel Options (row size, thumbnails per kind, Show Layers Only). Layer Options: name, colour (presets, each with a chip of its colour, or custom), Template, Lock, Show, Print, Preview (outline drawing and clicking) and Dim Images to %. Every operation is a command (`layer.move`, `layer.highlight`, `layer.merge`…) with validation against cycles and invalid nesting. A document opens with only its top-level layers open; the rows left open are saved in the native file (nothing is written for the default) and reopen that way. Only the rows scrolled into view are laid out, from a row list made once per change: a layer of 5,000 groups of 10 paths, all open, draws the panel in 0.4 ms a frame instead of about 29 s (#638).
|
||||
The Filter button at the right of Search All keeps the rows that are of an object kind ticked under By Object (paths, shapes, text, images, effects, groups, linked files, guides) and in a state ticked under By Layer (locked, hidden), with the rows that hold them; a section with nothing ticked takes every row. The filter combines with the search, the button is lit while a filter is on, and Clear All in its popup turns the filter off (`ui.layersFilter`). The filter lasts the session.

With members selected (Direct Selection, Layers panel, isolation mode) a Shape Mode button sets theirs (`object.compoundShape.setMode`) and is lit for the mode they share; paint given to a member goes to the compound shape. Release Compound Shape gives the members back as they were (`object.compoundShape.release`); Expand Compound Shape and the panel's Expand button turn it into the path or compound path of its area (`object.compoundShape.expand`). Shape Modes and Pathfinders take a compound shape as its area. Saved files keep it (`compound_shape`, `shape_mode`; an unknown mode reads as Add). Blends, envelopes and objects with a warp or another geometry effect are members as they draw (a blend's steps, an envelope's distorted art, the warped outline), and the area follows an edit of the blend, envelope or warp; Release gives them back as they were. Tests: `crates/engine/src/tests/compound_shape.rs`, `group::tests::compound_shapes_draw_the_area_their_shape_modes_make`, `group::tests::nested_compound_shapes_take_part_as_their_area`, `panels::pathfinder::tests::compound_shape_items_follow_the_selection`, the `CompoundShape` op of the property-test strategies.

Type that carries it is drawn, exported (PDF and SVG as paths, with no font) and expanded as its glyph outlines while it stays editable, and the effects after it reshape those outlines.

- A butt cap ends a stroke square at the end of an open path, and a projecting cap extends half the weight past it. VectorCraft's visual box of a butt-capped stroke on an open path does not grow past the path's ends: a straight segment's box comes from the corners of its stroked rectangle, and a curve's box comes from the stroke at its ends and where its tangent is square to an axis. Round and projecting caps and arrowheads still reach past an end. A curve that bends more tightly than half the weight can measure a little larger than it paints, and a butt-dashed path whose first or last dash is a gap is measured to the path's ends. Public reference: [Apply stroke on an object](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/stroke-object.html).
|
||||
- A butt-capped curve whose first or last handle sits on its end point also stops at that end: a straight 50 pt curve with a 2 pt stroke and its first handle on its start point measures 50 pt tall, not 51 pt (doc `reach::tests::a_butt_curve_with_a_handle_on_its_end_point_stops_near_that_end`).
|
||||
- With Use Preview Bounds on, the bounding box, the Transform panel, Align, Distribute, Distribute Spacing and `object.setBounds` measure each object after its geometry effects. A path is measured by its effected shape, and a fill or stroke with geometry effects of its own is measured by the shape it paints. Type, images, live objects and symbol instances are measured by their reshaped art, and a symbol instance is also measured by its reshaped art when its symbol's art has geometry effects. A group or layer with geometry or Pathfinder effects, or with a fill or stroke of its own that has geometry effects or paints members with geometry effects, is measured by its evaluated art. A blend, envelope or repeat whose objects have geometry effects is measured by its evaluated art, with those objects measured after their effects. A 100 pt square without a stroke, with Offset Path 10, measures 120 pt, and type with Outline Object aligns and sizes by its glyphs. Raster effects are not measured.

Cap is on by default with continuous curved vector rims; shading uses vector gradients automatically, with sharp profile corners, uniform caps and round seam joins.

| Alt + numeric-keypad codes while typing (Windows: `Alt+0176` → °) | partial | #5108: on Windows the character Windows posts when Alt comes up after keypad digits is typed at the caret like any other, in the typing's undo step, and the keypad digits typed with Alt run no shortcut. With NumLock off the keypad keys (Insert, End, arrows, Clear, Home, Page Up/Down without the extended-key flag) count as digits too and don't move the caret (`windows_alt_codes` unit tests; neither NumLock on nor off has been tried on a Windows machine yet). `type.insert {code}` (Windows Alt+0 code, Windows-1252 for 128–159) and `{unicode}` (hex code point) insert a character by its code (`menucmds::insert_a_character_by_its_code`). macOS and Linux have no such system convention and egui reports a keypad digit as the top-row digit, so there it does nothing; a floating panel window doesn't receive the character |

Numeric fields step on wheel hover without taking keyboard focus (#5949). Arrow keys still require focus; modifiers, units, limits, mixed values and existing rounding stay in the shared stepping path. Headless regressions in `tests/numfields.rs` cover hovered unfocused fields, focused fields, trackpad accumulation and panel scroll exclusion. Scores and estimates unchanged.

| Wheel over a closed font-family field in Character, Properties or Control | done | #5253: applies the next or previous family to selected text, one undo step per notch; uses saved font filters, ignores search text and stops at the list's ends. Escape and pointer departure keep the change. The field takes the wheel only when the pointer was moved onto it after the field last moved and the wheel stream began there; a stream that began elsewhere stays there until 0.5 s pass with no wheel input. This rule and its 0.5 s are VectorCraft's choices. Other font-picking menus and modifier-wheel input keep their existing behavior. |
