Place: DCS links follow their plate files, clips and document swatches
- The link watch and links.updateChanged look at a DCS file's plate files of their own, so a changed plate file is read again. - links.update and links.relink apply the file's clipping path to the images in symbols, graph designs, patterns and masks too. When the new file has no clipping path, a clip group holding the old file's clipping path loses that path and stays as a plain group of the image, keeping its id, name, visibility and transparency. The image keeps that path with its plates to tell it from a clipping mask made in the document; a clipping path given another fill rule in the document stays. An even-odd clipping path in the file is kept as the same area under the nonzero rule. - links.update and links.relink return the swatch warnings file.place gives, including two files that add one ink in two colors. - links.relink with copy fails for a DCS file with plate files of its own. - file.place answers the image id of a clipped DCS placement as image, and checks page and crop for a DCS file as it does for an EPS file. - Print separations and Separations Preview take a spot plate's color from the document's swatch of its ink, and a reduced image's plates keep their coverage. - Show DCS Transparency Interactions counts a transparent DCS image and characters filled or stroked with a transparent gradient. - %%PlateFile names keep their spaces, and header bytes that are not UTF-8 are read as Latin-1. - A plate program that draws more than one image, art besides its image, or its image through a clipping path is an error naming the plate instead of printing the wrong ink. - Nested clipping paths around the composite clip the image together. - A kept image with more plates than are read, or more TIFF directories than its composite and plates, is the CMYK image of its composite only, not a set of plates cut short. - swatch.unused counts a spot or process swatch as used only while an image the art shows has a spot plate of its name.

document, whose path is kept), unless Placement Options clip the image, the same way for the images in symbols, graph designs, patterns and opacity masks; when the new file has no

clipping path, a clipping group holding just the image whose path is the old file's clipping path loses that path and

changed DCS file. `links.relink {copy: true}` fails for a DCS file that reads plate files of its own, and copies

mean of the plate pixels each shown pixel covers. A file may name 64 plates, a plate file may be 1 GB, and the plates together may hold 512 MB of

ink amounts; a plate that can't be read is an error naming the plate, and nothing is placed. The plates go on the first

plate's pixel grid, grown to hold every plate where it prints; a plate of another size or position is resampled onto

it, and a file naming more than 64 plates is an error. `file.place.info` answers `plates` (the ink names) for a DCS file.
