 - **Placed gradients follow the Warp effects:** under each of the fifteen Warp styles with a bend or a distortion, a gradient placed with the Gradient tool moves and scales from the object's bounds before the warp to its bounds after it, as under Free Distort; a stroke's gradient uses those bounds inflated by the stroke. This holds for an object's own Warp and for a fill's or stroke's own, on the canvas and in Object › Expand of the fill. In a group with a Warp effect, each path's and compound path's gradients follow its own bounds, a nested group's own fills and strokes follow the nested group's bounds, and the group's own fills and strokes follow the group's bounds. In the art Pathfinder and compound shapes take, a symbol instance's Warp moves the gradients of its symbol's art by the art's bounds, and a compound shape's Warp moves its gradients by the bounds of its area. A gradient fitted to the object still fits the warped outline, and a warp with no bend and no distortion leaves the gradient exactly in place. Existing documents with a Warp effect on art with a placed gradient draw differently: before, the gradient stayed where it was while the outline changed. How gradients follow the warp is VectorCraft's own rule; what the Warp effects do to the object is described in [Reshaping with effects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/reshaping-objects-effects.html) (effects `tests::warp_bends_when_the_warp_moves_the_outline`, `bake::tests::baked_warps_move_placed_gradients_from_the_bounds_to_the_warped_bounds`, `bake::tests::a_warp_with_no_bend_leaves_a_placed_gradient_exactly_in_place`, `bake::tests::a_fills_and_a_strokes_own_warp_move_its_placed_gradient_with_the_bounds`, `group::tests::a_groups_warp_moves_the_gradients_placed_on_its_paths_by_each_paths_bounds`, `group::tests::a_groups_warp_moves_its_own_a_nested_groups_and_a_compound_paths_gradients_by_their_bounds`, `group::tests::shape_art_moves_the_gradients_of_a_symbol_instances_art_and_a_compound_shape_with_a_warp`; render `objectfx::a_paths_gradient_moves_and_scales_with_its_warped_bounds`; engine `objexpand::a_placed_gradient_moved_by_a_warp_expands_as_the_canvas_draws_it`).

 - **Warp as a Bézier patch per style:** each of the fifteen Warp styles bends the object's bounds as one Bézier patch whose control points the style sets from the bend and the size of the bounds; the horizontal distortion then scales each column of control points about its middle and the vertical distortion scales each row. The Warp effects and warp envelopes share the map, and content with no width or no height takes the middle of the patch along that side. New warps, the built-in graphic styles' Warps and warps opened from `.ai` files carry `version` 1 for it. Warps in `.vectorcraft` documents saved before it read as `version` 0 and keep their earlier look, and edits keep a warp's version; a `version` 0 warp saved to `.ai` opens again with `version` 1, since the file holds only its settings.

 - **Warp effects bend images:** a Warp effect on an image, or on a group that holds one, bends the image's pixels with its frame, as the Warp effect is documented to distort bitmap images in [Reshaping with effects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/reshaping-objects-effects.html): after the last effect, the image is cut into 10 × 10 cells of two triangles, each a clipped piece under its own affine map. Effects after the Warp reshape only the frame, a second Warp bends the same pieces, and warps saved without a version bend the pixels with their earlier map, as they bend the frame. A placed gradient on a group that holds the image follows the group's bounds as the pieces draw them. SVG writes the image once for the pieces; PDF, EPS, `.ai` and PNG write the bent pieces. The images stay unbent when their pieces would make the art pass 2 million objects, and so does an image whose frame keeps its shape past the anchor budget. A grayscale image's fill color now colorizes the pieces of a warp or an envelope, and an image under any geometry effect keeps that color and its smoothing setting. Existing documents with a Warp effect on an image, or on a group that holds one, draw differently: before, the image showed unbent, cut by the bent frame. So do existing documents with a colorized image under an envelope or a geometry effect, or an image drawn without smoothing under a geometry effect: before, those lost the color or the setting. The cell count and the limits are VectorCraft's own (effects `tests::warped_images_stay_within_the_object_budget`, `tests::warped_images_keep_document_keys_and_hidden_images_apart`, `tests::an_image_whose_frame_passes_the_budget_stays_whole`, `tests::effects_after_a_warp_reshape_an_images_frame_and_not_its_pieces`, `tests::an_images_pixels_take_the_map_their_warps_version_names`, `tests::an_image_under_a_geometry_effect_keeps_its_color_and_smoothing`, `tests::a_nested_groups_gradient_follows_its_warped_image`; engine `warp_images::an_images_pixels_bend_with_effect_warp`, `a_warped_image_keeps_its_bend_in_svg`, `a_warped_image_keeps_its_bend_in_pdf`, `a_warped_image_keeps_its_bend_in_ai`, `a_warped_image_keeps_its_bend_in_eps`, `a_warped_image_keeps_its_bend_in_png`, `svg_writes_an_image_clipped_twice_in_a_users_group_twice`, `expand_appearance_of_a_warped_image_draws_as_the_canvas_did`, `a_colorized_image_keeps_its_color_when_warped`, `a_warp_on_a_group_bends_the_image_in_it`, `envelope_distort::a_colorized_image_keeps_its_color_in_an_envelope`).

An image drawn once is written where it is drawn, as before. The 256 MB limit on the page counts the samples once, so an envelope of a large photo no longer loses pieces to it.

 - **PDF writes a warped image once:** with downsampling on, the pieces of an image bent by a Warp effect are resampled for the widest and the highest size any piece places the image at, so every piece paints one image XObject (a colorized image: one colorized image and its soft mask), instead of one image for each size a piece is placed at. Another placement of the same image is still resampled for its own size. Without downsampling, a colorized image and a CMYK image with a grayscale image mask on its grid are decoded and encoded once for all the sizes they are placed at (pdf `tests::compression::a_warped_image_is_written_once_for_all_its_pieces`, `tests::colorize::a_colorized_warped_image_is_written_once_for_all_its_pieces`, `export::images::tests::colorized_and_grid_masked_images_are_made_once_for_every_size_without_downsampling`).

   - **Dynamic symbol appearance follows what an object draws** (VectorCraft's own rule): `symbol.instance.setAppearance` refuses a fill or stroke for an object of the art that does not draw it (a guide, blend, envelope, Repeat, Intertwine group, gradient mesh or placed document; a nested symbol instance's stroke, and its fill unless a solid color or none, which stains its art; an image's fill or stroke without a Convert to Shape or Outline Object effect) with an error that names the key and the object, and the call changes nothing. Opacity, blend and `null`, which takes a stored change back, are taken for every object. Tests: `crates/engine/src/tests/dynamic_symbols.rs`.
   - Symbol editing mode keeps every instance in step: instances of a dynamic symbol inside other symbols' art, pattern tiles, graph designs, stored brushes and opacity masks keep their appearance changes on the objects an edit reorders and drop the changes to objects it deletes. The view does not draw the instance the edit was entered from. Area type in the symbol's art takes the text wrap that moving a wrap object gives it. Editing another symbol at a place that fails keeps the current edit open, and only the editing layer or art on it can be isolated. Tests: `crates/engine/src/tests/symboledit.rs`, `isolation::symbol_editing_does_not_draw_the_instance_it_was_entered_from`, `panels::symbols::tests::double_clicking_a_symbol_in_the_panel_edits_it_in_either_view`, `the_panel_menus_edit_symbol_edits_the_instances_symbol_or_the_panels`, `the_control_bars_edit_symbol_edits_the_selected_instances_symbol`, `chrome::tests::the_control_bar_exits_symbol_editing_mode`.

The rest of this entry is VectorCraft's own rules. A Direct Selection click on an instance of a dynamic symbol selects the path, compound path or type object of the symbol's art under the pointer and outlines it (`symbol.instance.selectPart`); the Swatches and Color panels, the Control bar, the Eyedropper and the other fill and stroke controls then change that object's fill or stroke (solid, none, gradient or pattern) for this instance only, each as one undo step, and `transparency.set` changes its opacity and blend the same way; the symbol's art and its other instances stay as they were. Alt or Shift picks the instance whole. An Eyedropper source that is not a path, compound path or type, a click on any other object of the art (a group, image, blend or nested instance) and the commands that change the selected objects (moving, Delete, Group, Hide, Lock, Arrange, Expand, the gradient annotator, isolate/knockout on Transparency, the Appearance panel's rows and others) are refused with a status message. Copy, Export Selection, Fit to Selection, Liquify, Isolate, Add to Library and Save Selection use the whole instance (`docs/mcp.md`), and another selection tool selects the instance whole again. Tests: `crates/engine/src/tests/dynamic_symbols.rs` (`gradients_and_patterns_on_a_picked_object_are_taken`, `opacity_and_blend_on_a_picked_object_go_through_transparency_set`), `direct::tests::a_click_on_a_dynamic_instance_picks_the_object_under_the_pointer`.

The mix is VectorCraft's own rule: after a dynamic symbol's own changes, the instance's visible fill mixes the solid fills and strokes of the symbol's art, type included, toward the fill's color by the fill's opacity; a hidden fill or one at 0% leaves the art's colors as they are. SVG, PDF (printing to PDF included), EPS, legacy `.ai`, DXF, EMF and WMF write the stained colors for an instance on its own, in a group, placed through 9-slice guides or reshaped by its geometry effects, and a color adjustment on the instance recolors the stained art. Tests: `bake::tests::a_stained_instance_is_baked_in_its_stained_colors` (vectorcraft-effects), `tests::a_stained_instance_keeps_its_stain` (vectorcraft-pdf), `symbols_layers::a_stained_instance_with_a_geometry_effect_keeps_its_stain` (vectorcraft-svg), and `a_stained_instance_is_written_in_its_stained_color` in vectorcraft-eps (EPS and legacy `.ai`), vectorcraft-cad and vectorcraft-metafile (EMF and WMF).

With the Selection tool the pointer near a guide shows the Move cursor, and dragging the guide moves it (`symbol.options`'s `nineSliceGuides`) as one undo step; Escape during the drag puts it back. VectorCraft's own rules: a guide within 4 screen pixels takes the press before the art and the bounding box; it may pass the art's edges (see the next entry) and stops short of the opposite guide; the drag does not snap.

   - **9-slice guides outside the art** ([the help page](https://help.adobe.com/archive/en/illustrator/cs6/illustrator_reference.pdf), Use 9-slice scaling section): a guide may lie outside the symbol's art, set by dragging it past the art's edge in symbol editing mode, by `symbol.options`'s `nineSliceGuides` or by a Symbol Options field below 0% or above 100%, and a scaled instance still scales, by the cells its art falls in. VectorCraft's own rules: each guide lies within 16 times the art's width or height of its edge (`-16..16` as a fraction, `-1600..1600` in percent) and the two guides of an axis keep their order; a guide past an edge of the art cuts the art at that edge, so the outer cell on its side holds no art; with both guides of an axis past opposite edges the art scales as a whole along it; with both past the same edge the art lies in the outer cell at the other edge and keeps its size, from that edge of the instance, or shrinks to the instance's width or height when the instance is smaller than the art; Symbol Options shows and keeps the guides unrounded. Native files keep the guides exactly; SVG and `.ai` write such an instance as its placed art and keep no guides. Tests: `symbol_nine_slice::tests::guides_outside_the_art_are_accepted_in_order_and_within_the_limit`, `art_scales_by_the_cells_it_falls_in_when_guides_lie_outside_it`, `the_map_with_guides_outside_the_art_is_continuous_and_monotone` in `crates/doc`, `guides_outside_the_art_are_set_by_command_and_scale_by_the_cells_that_hold_art`, `a_guide_dragged_past_the_arts_edge_lies_outside_it`, `guides_outside_the_art_survive_saving_and_reopening_a_native_file` in `crates/engine`, `nineslice::tests::a_guide_outside_the_art_is_taken_and_dragged_past_the_arts_edge`, `a_nine_slice_instance_with_a_guide_outside_its_art_is_written_as_drawn` (SVG and `.ai`).

For a symbol with placed instances they ask with Expand Instances (the instances become ordinary art), Delete Instances and Cancel; either Instances button deletes the symbol in one undo step. Alt-click on the button deletes an unused symbol without asking and still asks about one with instances.

A menu command with no default shortcut that needs a value a key press does not give, such as File › Document Setup › Units (`document.setUnits {units}`), is listed only while the user has changed its shortcut. A command stays listed when a menu bar item runs it without a value or when it opens a dialog run without one, as the Variables panel's commands do.
   - No two rows of Edit › Keyboard Shortcuts have the same English name (VectorCraft's own rule). A command that an item of the menu bar runs is listed under that item's menu path (Window › Swatch Libraries › Other Library…), a command whose id extends another command's id is listed under that command's label (Character Style Options › Reset Panel), and the rows that still share a name show their id after it, except the one row an item of the menu bar runs (File › New… and File › New… (file.new)). The search finds a row by the id it shows, and a message about a shortcut already in use names the other row with its group. Test `shortcut_editor::tests::no_two_entries_have_the_same_name`.
   - A shortcut on the key left of 1 runs whatever character that key types, and Edit › Keyboard Shortcuts, the menus in the window, the command palette and tool tips show it as that character once the key has been pressed: `"` on a Turkish Q layout, `~` on a US layout as before.

   - **Drawing:** Pen, Curvature, anchor tools, Pencil, Paintbrush, Blob Brush, Smooth, Path Eraser, Join. Direction handles dragged with Direct Selection or the Anchor Point tool snap to smart guides, and Shift keeps them at 45° steps from their anchor. The Pen continues any open path from the end clicked, and while drawing, a click on an end of another open path joins the two into one (#776). The Curvature tool edits any selected path, whatever drew it, keeping its shape except where edited (#798): a click on a point makes it current and a drag moves it, re-curving only its two segments; double-click, or Alt-click on any point but an end of an open path, toggles it smooth or corner and Delete removes it; a click on a segment adds a point without changing the shape; with an end of an open path current, clicks go on from it and its other end closes it (`path.curvatureEdit`). An Alt-click on an end of a selected open path makes that end current without changing it, so the next click goes on from it, as [the help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/draw-shapes/draw-shapes-with-the-curvature-tool.html) describes for continuing a path; an Alt-click that starts a new path places a corner point, as later Alt-clicks do. Every point a drawing tool places snaps to Smart Guides through one snapper (#506): the Pen's and Curvature tool's anchors, the Pencil's ends, the shape tools' start and dragged corner or radius (Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon, Star, Line Segment, Arc, Spiral, the grids), the Type tool's click and frame, a new artboard's corners. A filled Pencil path keeps a stroke of None (#1804, part of #1679). While a Pencil or Paintbrush stroke is drawn back to within Close Paths When Ends Are Within of its start, the cursor shows the closing ring and a release there closes the path, as [Draw straight lines with the Pencil tool](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/draw-shapes/draw-straight-lines-with-the-pencil-tool.html) describes for the Pencil. The [ and ] keys reach the Blob Brush, the Eraser and the Symbolism tools in the app (#1734, part of #1661).
     Blob Brush and Eraser Tool Options' Size is Fixed or Pressure with a Variation (#4590, #3961): with Pressure a pen stroke is Size − Variation wide where it presses lightest and Size + Variation where it presses hardest, and a mouse stroke keeps the Size.
     With the Blob Brush, Shift held during a drag keeps the stroke on the horizontal or vertical line through the press point, whichever is nearer to the pointer (90° steps from the Constrain Angle preference), and the points dragged since Shift went down move to the other line when the pointer crosses to it; the points dragged while Shift is up follow the pointer.
-    With the Blob Brush, Alt held before the press, or pressed before the drag has moved, switches to the Smooth tool, as the reference app's [Default keyboard shortcuts](https://web.archive.org/web/20260726060015/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html) page lists: the cursor shows the Smooth tool, the drag shows a thin line and, with a path selected that it can smooth, the dashed band it smooths, without the length label, Shift does not constrain it, and the release smooths the selected paths under the drag (`path.smoothRegion`) instead of painting; with nothing selected the release changes no path. A stroke that has moved keeps painting when Alt goes down.

A stroke that has moved keeps painting when Alt goes down.
     Curvature point markers are circular, with no direction handles. While drawing, its own point feedback replaces generic selection markers; existing paths use the selection overlay, including partial selections and Hide Edges. Anchor Size applies, and Direct Selection and Pen retain their handles. The real egui-frame regressions in `crates/ui-egui/src/canvas.rs` verify marker positions, counts and unchanged documents (#1236, in part); the existing-path interpolation request remains open. The curve through the points (`curvature_spline` in `crates/tools/src/draw2.rs`) makes each stretch of three points follow the circle through them: a smooth point's handles lie along that circle's tangent, each `chord / (3 cos²(α/2))` long (α between handle and chord, capped at 90°), and the ends of an open path mirror their neighbour's tangent in their chord, so a J or a U curves evenly, a turn tighter than 30° comes to a point, and uneven spacing doesn't loop; the rubber band, a dragged or inserted point and `path.convertAnchor` to smooth use the same rule, while the Pencil's fitting keeps its own; `tests/draw2.rs` checks that the rubber band is the path the click makes (#1236, in part). The Smooth tool smooths only the stretch of path under the drag (#1547, fixes #1512). A path the Smooth tool changes stays selected whole, and the anchor points and segments selected on it with Direct Selection are deselected. Selected paths the drag does not change keep their selected anchors, and undo restores the earlier selection (`tests/draw2.rs`, `smoothing_a_path_drops_its_direct_selected_anchors`). While the Smooth tool drags with a path selected that it can smooth, a dashed outline shows the band it smooths: everything within its radius of the drag (12 screen pixels, VectorCraft's own value), round at both ends; Alt smoothing with the Pencil, Paintbrush and Blob Brush shows the same band.
     While Alt is held during a Paintbrush stroke or before a press with no path selected that the Smooth tool can act on, the Paintbrush shows a closing cursor (a crosshair with a ring), and so does the Pencil with Alt key toggles to Smooth Tool off when Alt is pressed after the drag starts; releasing the mouse button with Alt still held closes the path. Before a Paintbrush press with such a path selected, Alt shows the Smooth cursor, and holding Alt at the press smooths that path with the Smooth tool's radius and Smooth Tool Options' Fidelity. A Pencil drag started with Shift or Alt held draws a straight line instead, which stays open.
     Smooth Tool Options' Fidelity is in pixels, as [the help page](https://help.adobe.com/archive/en_US/illustrator/cs3/illustrator_cs3_help.pdf#page=79) gives it: the Smooth tool, and an Alt smoothing drag with the Pencil, Paintbrush or Blob Brush, refits the path at Fidelity divided by the zoom, so a drag smooths a path as much on screen at 25 % as at 800 %. Reading the pixels as screen pixels is VectorCraft's own rule, as for the Pencil and the Paintbrush (#5729); the range (0.05 to 100 px) and the default (2.5 px) are VectorCraft's own values, and a saved Fidelity keeps its number (`crates/tools/src/draw2/gesture/tests.rs` test `smooth_fidelity_is_in_screen_pixels_at_any_zoom`, `crates/engine/src/tests/draw2.rs` test `smooth_region_refits_at_the_tolerance_sent_at_any_zoom`).

     The Pencil's and the Paintbrush's Fidelity is in screen pixels, the same at any zoom: their Tool Options give it in px, from 0.01 px on the logarithmic slider to 20 px and up to 100 px in the field, and the tool sends `path.freehand` the value in points at the current zoom (#5729). The Smooth tool's and the Blob Brush's Fidelity stays in points.
     `path.freehand` and `brush.freehand` take a Fidelity of up to 100 / 0.0313 pt (about 3194.89 pt), the 100 px field maximum at the lowest zoom (3.13 %), and reject a value outside their range with an error, so a Pencil or Paintbrush stroke drawn zoomed out keeps the Fidelity set in pixels (engine tests `pencil_fit_keeps_its_anchors_on_a_stroke_drawn_zoomed_out` and `pencil_takes_fidelity_within_its_range_and_rejects_the_rest`).
     Each drag of the Smooth tool smooths the stretch of a selected path in its reach along its length before refitting it within Fidelity, so a wobble wider than Fidelity is smoothed out and another drag over the same place smooths it further, as [the help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tool-techniques/smooth-tool.html) describes (`path.smoothRegion`). The smoothing spread (a third of the reach) and the rule that each refit stays within twice the distance the smoothing moved the path, so repeated drags do not drift from it, are VectorCraft's own. A drag over the whole of a closed path smooths it across its first anchor too, so a bump there is smoothed like any other and no corner is left; Object › Path › Smooth smooths a closed path across its first anchor the same way.
+    The Smooth tool shows the Not Allowed cursor while no path is selected that it can act on (an editable path, not a guide, with three or more anchors on one of its subpaths or two anchors joined by a curve), and the release of a drag then sends no command and changes nothing; [the help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tool-techniques/smooth-tool.html) has the path selected first. A selected path anywhere on the canvas gives the Smooth cursor wherever the pointer is. The Pencil with Alt key toggles to Smooth Tool on and the Blob Brush show Not Allowed the same way when Alt gives them the Smooth tool; the Paintbrush keeps its closing cursor, since its release with Alt closes the stroke. Use Precise Cursors leaves Not Allowed as it is. This cursor rule is VectorCraft's own (tools `smooth_shows_not_allowed_without_a_selected_path_to_smooth`, `borrowed_smooth_shows_not_allowed_without_a_selected_path_to_smooth`, `smoothing_release_sends_nothing_without_a_selected_path_to_smooth`; engine `use_precise_cursors_keeps_the_smooth_tools_not_allowed_pointer`).
     When a Smooth tool drag reaches the first or last anchor of an open path, that anchor stays where it is and the curve there leaves or arrives along the smoothed path within the reach, so a jagged first or last segment no longer sets the end's direction; an end where the smoothed path turns back by 90° or more keeps its segment's direction, and where the refitted stretch ends inside the path the curve keeps the direction of the part outside the drag. This rule is VectorCraft's own (`tests/draw2.rs`, `smoothing_an_open_path_turns_its_jagged_ends_with_the_path` and `a_smooth_drag_turns_only_the_end_it_reaches`).
     A Smooth drag along a curved segment smooths the stretch of it in the drag's reach even when neither of the segment's anchors is in reach, as [the help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/modify-paths/refine-paths.html) describes dragging along the path segment; the segment is cut where the drag enters and leaves the reach, and the parts outside keep their shape (`path.smoothRegion`). Paths of two anchors are smoothed too, and Alt with the Paintbrush smooths a selected two-anchor curve; a two-anchor straight line still gets the closed stroke. How the reach is found on a segment (samples no more than half the reach apart) is VectorCraft's own, and a straight segment is left as it is.
     Before a press that draws a new path, the Pencil cursor shows a small star, as [Draw freeform paths with the Pencil tool](https://web.archive.org/web/20260926095638/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/draw-shapes/draw-freeform-paths-with-the-pencil-tool.html) describes; over a selected path within Edit selected paths' distance, which the press continues from an end or redraws, the star is not shown ([Reshape paths with the Pencil tool](https://web.archive.org/web/20260106004407/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/draw-shapes/reshape-paths-with-the-pencil-tool.html)).

   A move pressed on a path's stroke, or within 6 px of its outline away from its anchors and center, is held by the nearest point of that path, with the Selection, Group Selection or Direct Selection tool, and a straight segment Direct Selection drags is held by its own nearest point. That point is what snaps, so the path lands exactly on a ruler guide (with "align") instead of the pressed spot landing there and the path a few pixels beside it, an offset that showed only zoomed far in (#3701). A press in the middle of a fill still snaps the pressed spot: the public [Align objects with guides](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/measure-and-align/grids-and-guides/align-graphic-objects-with-guides.html) page has Snap to Point align the point under the pointer, which is placed exactly where the object should meet the guide.

   - **Colorized images (#1466):** a fill color applied to a selected grayscale or 1-bit image (`paint.setFill`) colorizes it with black, white, a process color or a spot color, and refuses a process color when the image has an alpha channel ([Convert color modes](https://web.archive.org/web/20251220223850/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-colors/select-and-adjust-colors/convert-color-modes.html), "Colorize Grayscale or 1-bit images"); black and white are accepted there too. The canvas draws each pixel in the color as far as the pixel is dark, with white pixels transparent; PDF export writes the image in the color (a spot color as its ink, Registration in every ink) with the image as its soft mask; Separations Preview and printed separations show it on its color's plates; native files keep the color. SVG writes the fill color through a coverage mask (or a colorized PNG in Tiny 1.2); EPS writes binary coverage as an image mask in the color's ink, and a grayscale image as ink samples scaled by coverage, with white pixels left out at Level 3 and gray midtones written over white.
     The prompt for deleting several swatches and groups uses the interface language's plural form for the count. Evidence: `deleting_several_swatches_uses_each_count_form` in `crates/ui-egui/src/panels/swatches/tests.rs`.

     Preferences › File Handling › Data Recovery › Folder has a Choose… button on the desktop that picks the folder Data Recovery keeps its copies in ([Illustrator reference, Set Data Recovery preferences](https://web.archive.org/web/20210601162814/https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/illustrator_reference.pdf)); a picked folder that Data Recovery cannot create its folders in or list is refused with a status message, and the field keeps its value. OK applies the same check to a folder typed into the field (VectorCraft's own rule): when it fails, the dialog stays open, the status bar says why and no preference changes; an empty field (the default folder) and the folder already saved are not checked. Preferences › Plug-ins & Scratch Disks is where additional plug-ins folders are set ([Illustrator preferences help](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/get-started/preferences-and-settings/set-app-preferences.html)); its Additional Plug-ins Folder has a Choose… button on the desktop as well, VectorCraft's own, matching Data Recovery's, and VectorCraft's own rule refuses a picked or typed folder whose contents can't be listed. Additional Fonts Folder and Templates Folder stay typed only.
     `prefs.set` applies the dialog's check to `recoveryFolder` and `pluginsFolder` for every caller (VectorCraft's own rule): a folder that fails returns an error and no preference changes; an empty value and the folder already saved are not checked.
     When a Data Recovery copy can't be written, the status bar and the log show the error (with the document's title when one document's copy fails), the folder copies go to, whether that is the default recovery folder or the folder set in Preferences, and the preference that picks another folder (`recoveryFolder`; VectorCraft's own message).
+    After Restore in the dialog Data Recovery shows at launch, the status bar keeps the restored documents' notes (VectorCraft's own rule): it shows the count followed by the first note, and hovering it lists each document's lines about its linked files and its warnings, named with the document's title when more than one was restored. The questions about the documents' missing or modified linked files come one document at a time, with that document made the current one, and a copy that can't be restored shows its error while the hover keeps the count and the restored documents' notes (`tests/recovery.rs`).
     A name typed in the desktop save panel without the file type's extension gets it, and when a file of that name exists, which the panel did not ask about, Save, Save As, Save a Copy, Save as Template, the exports and every other write through a save panel ask before replacing it (dialog `replaceFile`; Cancel writes nothing).
     A name returned by the desktop save panel with the extension of a format the save does not write has it replaced with the saved format's: Save As of a new document saves `card.ait` and `card.png` as `card.vectorcraft`, and Save as Template saves `card.pdf` as `card.vctemplate`. An extension that names no format stays part of the name (`notes.v2` is saved as `notes.v2.vectorcraft`).
     Export As, Save as PDF, Save for Office Documents, Save for Web, Text Export Options, print to file, the presets' Export… and the library, swatch and Document Info saves replace a typed extension of another format than the one they write in the same way: Export As PNG writes `card.svg` as `card.png`, Save as PDF writes `card.png` as `card.pdf`, and `document.exportSelection` with a `format` suggests and adds that format's extension. An extension of the written format stays as typed in any letter case (`photo.JPEG` for JPEG), Export As SVG writes `art.svgz` compressed, and `document.exportSelection` without a `format` writes the format the typed extension names (`tests/saveext.rs`).

     In a `.ai` or EPS opened from its editing data, and in a legacy `.ai`, each anchor is smooth or a corner as the case of the segment operator ending on it says (`l`, `c`, `v`, `y` smooth; `L`, `C`, `V`, `Y` corner), and a closed path's first anchor takes the case of the segment back to it; points and handles stay where they are. Paths, compound paths, clipping paths, guide paths, area type frames and type-on-a-path paths all keep it (`crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`, `crates/eps/src/legacy_ai/tests.rs`).
     In `.ai` and EPS editing-data import, a clipping group, layer or opacity mask's art with several clipping paths (`W`) clips to their intersection: each clipping path after the first clips a clipping group nested inside the one before it, and each keeps its own stroke and transparency. A compound path of clipping paths (`*u` … `*U`) is still one clipping path, and clipping paths that would nest the art past the document's 32 levels stop the editing data from being read (`crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`).
     `.ai` and EPS editing-data import keeps template layers, and opens canvas and artboard ruler guides as ruler guides on their layers; guide objects stay editable guide paths (#779; `crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`, `crates/eps/src/import/tests_native.rs`).
+    A hidden (`1 Xw`) ruler guide path in `.ai` and EPS editing data opens as a hidden ruler guide rather than a guide path, and every ruler guide keeps its path's hide, lock and name, so its Layers row shows them (`hidden_locked_and_named_guide_paths_are_ruler_guides`).
     `.ai` and EPS editing-data import keeps each path's Attributes panel note (`%AI3_Note:`, `%%Note:`, more lines in `%AI5_NoteMore:`, up to 1,024 characters) and Show Center (`1 Ap`); a note or Show Center applies to every path after it until the next one, and a note before a group or compound path is not theirs (`crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`, `crates/eps/src/import/tests_illustrator.rs`).
     `.ai` and EPS editing-data import reads object tags (`/identifier (string) XT`) on the object before them, whatever kind of object it is: `AdobeURL` becomes the object's URL, and every other tag is kept in the object's data in order, up to 64 per object; a tag longer than 64 KiB, and tags in a pattern's or brush's art, are ignored. A tag on art that shows no longer stops the editing data from being read, and brush art that holds tags is read (`crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`, `crates/eps/src/import/tests_illustrator.rs`).
     A `.ai` saved without PDF compatibility (its PDF part only a placeholder page) is placed and pasted from its editing data, as it opens: File › Place places the art of the layers that show on the first artboard (`file.place`'s `page` places another one), and Paste of it as PDF data (`clipboard.importPdf`) takes every object. `document.open` with `pages` naming every page of such a file opens it the same way (`crates/engine/src/cmd/fileio/tests_aiimport.rs`).
