+| 2026-11-12 | minor | `.ai` and EPS import (#6983): type from the text document is set in an installed face of the PostScript name its font record gives, one of exactly that name first. That face's family is no longer swapped for another family spelled alike but for case and punctuation (`FontDb::find_family`, which picked `SAMPLE INK` for `SampleInk`, the PostScript name of `Sample/Ink`); among the faces `FontDb::postscript_faces` lists for the name, the import takes one whose name matches in case and punctuation before one that matches only without them; and when the family and style alone resolve to another installed copy, the type names the face's version. A font record's key 5, the version string (name ID 5), picks that version among the faces of its PostScript name, also when the record spells the name with other punctuation (`Sample-Slab` for faces named `SampleSlab`); each record is resolved once. Type a PostScript program sets and legacy `.ai` type take the face of their font's name the same way. The `.ai` save writes a static font's version (`/5`) when its PostScript name alone would give the reader another installed copy (another version, or the same name in another family), so two such copies are two fonts of the set, and checks that the type comes back in the same family, style and face, taking the record's version as the reader does (up to 256 bytes): such type round-trips without the type attributes note, and so does a version that isn't installed, which draws in the face the font resolves to anyway. In 224 users' files (used locally, never committed; all PDF-compatible, so the PostScript and legacy paths are not exercised), 16 files set some type in another installed face; 12 render differently against their own page, 10 closer (in one from 2.55% to 0.01% of the page differing) and 2 further by 0.03% of the page (an envelope of type that now opens live, and a copy of the same widths in the version the record names); envelopes of type that open live go from 154 to 159, none fewer in any file; no file opens in another way. The notes of how far a file's layers differ from its page shrink in 2 files and appear in 2 where an envelope of type now opens live, so the file is compared with its page. Two installed copies of one PostScript name, family and style that differ in widths, in files whose records keep no version, still take the copy the family and style resolve to: only the page's widths tell them apart.

 | 2026-11-12 | minor | `.ai` and EPS import: type from the text document keeps its manual kerning (#6899). Key 8 of a story's text holds it as runs of characters (key 1), each with a value (key 0 of key 0, in thousandths of an em) or empty where the automatic kerning applies; a character with a value takes it as its Kerning, the space between it and the next character ([Line and character spacing](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/line-character-spacing.html)), of the em as its Horizontal Scale draws it, as tracking. It wasn't read, so type kerned by hand came in spaced by the font alone and drifted from the page from each kerned pair on, and envelopes of such type drew apart from their drawn art and kept it. In users' files, used locally and never committed, 48 stories in 17 of 224 files have it, and the drawn art of envelopes of such type sets each kerned gap wider or narrower by exactly that value (a heading's first pair at -140, the letters of a line at 20 to 220). Measured against each file's own page, 14 of those files draw closer (in 4 the pixels that differ go from 2.7–4.7% to under 0.6%) and 2 a little further, both where an envelope of type now opens live in place of its drawn art; envelopes of type that open live go from 154 to 159 of 203, none fewer in any file, and two notes that the type differs from the page go. A value that can't be read keeps the automatic kerning, a run whose length can't be read ends the runs there, and past 65,536 runs the characters keep the automatic kerning. `.ai` save still leaves kerning out of the editing data, so saving such a file as `.ai` again now gives the note that attributes of type are left out for type with manual kerning.

 | 2026-11-12 | minor | `.ai` and EPS import: type in an envelope with Distort Appearance is also tried mapped from the box of what it paints, after the ways it was tried before (its glyphs alone and grown by half its strokes' weight, #6535, on its own warp and on its saved grid), before a grid moved onto its drawn art, and only where that box is another: its glyph outlines with their fills and strokes baked as the envelope bakes them (geometry effects on them applied: a stroke a Transform effect moves counts where it is moved to), each piece measured by its visual bounds, which are exact for miter joins (a tip counts where the miter limit keeps it, not the miter allowance at every corner that the bounds with strokes take) and round joins and an upper bound for bevel joins, miters the limit cuts, width profiles and square-capped dashes; a contour of zero length, which paints nothing, doesn't count. Effects on the type object itself are left out, as VectorCraft applies them after the envelope bends the type. The box is measured only when that try comes and the import has a check left for it, and once for an envelope. Groups round type and other objects in the contents are measured as before. In users' files (used locally, never committed) the drawn art of some stroked type in an envelope maps from that box: where the type has sharp corners at its edges (slanted stems, pointed feet) and miter joins, or a stroke moved by a Transform effect (a drop shadow), its glyphs grown by half the weight gave too small a box and the envelope kept its drawn art; and where a glyph holds a contour of zero length at its edge, the glyphs' box counted it.

   `actionInsertMenuItem` dialog (`find`, `command`, `params`, `set`, `action`, `step`): typing in Find and pressing
   Find picks the one item whose menu path, shown name or command id holds every word typed, or lists the matches, and
   OK runs this.
+- Actions: `ui.action.insertSelectPath {set?, action?, step?}` inserts a Select Path step for the path selected in the
+  active document, without changing the selection or the art. The step is `select.storedPath {id, fingerprint}`: the
+  path's id and a fingerprint of its kind, fill rule and anchors (`v1:` and 16 lowercase hex digits, FNV-1a over them).
+  The selection must be one whole path or compound path that can be selected. Anchors or segments of a path alone,
+  several objects, a path with selected ruler guides, a group, type or any other object, a guide, a member of a compound
+  path, and a hidden or locked object are refused. A path inside a group can be stored on its own. The place, the selected step and the result are
+  as for `ui.action.insertStop`. No document, a selection that is not such a path, params that are not an object, an
+  index past the last set, action or step, no action and no recording, or a step past the 10,000-step and 8 MiB limits
+  is an error, and then nothing changes. The panel menu's Insert Select Path runs this for the selected step or action,
+  or the recording in progress, and is off while the selection is not such a path. The step's row in the panel reads
+  Select Path. An action set file holding the step is version 5, and Load Actions… refuses a step whose params are not
+  an id and such a fingerprint.
+- Actions: `select.storedPath {id, fingerprint}` selects only the path `id` while its fingerprint is still
+  `fingerprint` and it can be selected: not hidden or locked, nor in a hidden or locked layer or group, a template
+  layer or on a locked artboard, and inside the isolated object in isolation mode. A missing object, another kind of
+  object, a path whose kind, fill rule or anchors changed (moving it changes its anchors), or one that cannot be selected
+  is an error, and the selection stays as it was. So a Select Path step finds its path in the document it was stored
+  from, and in another document only an object with the same id and the same fingerprint. A selection change alone adds
+  no undo step. In an Accelerated playback the error undoes the steps before it, and at Step by Step and Pause For it
+  ends the playback after them. Returns `{count, ids}`. These rules are VectorCraft's own.
 - Actions: `ui.action.insertSelectObject {set?, action?, step?, note, caseSensitive?, wholeWord?}` inserts a Select
   Object step without running it. The step is `select.byNote {note, caseSensitive, wholeWord}`: during playback it

 | 2026-11-08 | minor | Style panels: a double-click on a user character style's row opens its Character Style Options (`ui.charStyleOptions`), and on a paragraph style's row its Paragraph Style Options (rename); the Character Style Options dialog keeps a fixed width and scrolls its sections in a shorter window, so OK and Cancel stay on screen.
