A built-in Type Tools add-on (Object › Plug-ins › Type Tools › Text Tweaker…,
`addon.type.textTweaker`): size, baseline shift, rotation, horizontal or vertical
scale, tracking, leading or stroke weight go from a start value to an end value
along a straight ramp, an ease, a bow, a spike or at random with a seed, set as
the Character panel sets them, while the text stays live. One undo step, a
dialog with Preview, catalog rows in all 26 languages, docs/mcp.md and the
parity docs.

Per review on #5327: Preferences › File Handling › Edit Original With (an app
path and Choose…) becomes the checkbox Use System Defaults for Edit Original,
on by default. Off, Edit Original opens a raster image in the app that made
it, PhotoCraft, looked for only where it installs; any other file, or no
PhotoCraft, goes to the system's default app. The preference is a boolean, so
prefs.set over control or MCP can no longer name an executable. The label has
a row in all 26 catalogs.

macOS: wait for `open -a` (it returns once Launch Services has the
request) and report its error, such as a folder named .app that isn't a
bundle; other platforms still start the editor without waiting. A saved
or typed path also sets the dialog's Other Application choice, so
clearing it to type another keeps the field.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Other Application choice (before a path is typed) is a `__` field of
the Preferences dialog instead of egui memory, so a dialog opened again or
reset starts at System Default. The path field shows the stored value
untrimmed, so spaces can be typed.

Preferences › File Handling › Edit Original With picks the app Links
panel › Edit Original opens a linked file in: System Default (as before),
PhotoCraft (found in /Applications or ~/Applications on macOS, on the
PATH elsewhere) or Other Application, with a path field and Choose….
The desktop host's new `open_file_with` service starts only an
application (an .app bundle on macOS, an .exe on Windows, an executable
file elsewhere), with the path as its only argument and never through a
shell. Edit Original still refuses control requests.

Apply wheel steps over the closed family fields in Character, Properties and Control, preserving event order and one undo step per effective notch. Document the supported controls and the application choices. Fixes#5253.
With one Objects on Path group of two or more objects selected, the
Selection and Objects on Path tools show a square Space widget beyond the
last object, ahead along the path. Dragging it moves the last object
along the path, around its bends, as far as the pointer moves along it,
and the objects between follow evenly while the first one stays. With
Alt (Option on macOS) the objects spread from both ends toward or away
from the center of an open path, or of the first anchor of a closed one.
The distance between the objects shows next to the pointer in the
document's units; the drag is one undo step, and Escape cancels it.
- object.objectsOnPath.options takes spacing (points, or "auto", the
default even spread) and start (points from the first anchor). A
spacing the path has no room for is drawn smaller and kept, so a
longer path brings it back. Older files read as Auto.
- Moving the group, Pivot, Rotate, path edits, copies and saving keep
the Space. Scaling, rotating or shearing the group keeps the first
and last objects where the transform takes them on the new path, live
shapes included; a value that cannot be kept that way scales with the
path's length.
- The Rotate All widget follows the first object when Space moves it.

Preferences > User Interface > Open Documents As Tabs was stored but did
nothing. With the box cleared, each document opened or created afterwards
opens in a floating window of its own, at the next cascade place, as
Window > Arrange > Float in Window floats it. Documents already open, and
documents open when the app starts, keep their tabs; checking the box
again leaves floating documents in their windows.
The engine records the preference on each document as it opens
(DocState::opened_as_tab), and the UI finds new documents by uid, so a
command batch that closes and opens documents, or changes the preference
between opening them, places each one as the preference was when it
opened.
A document tab dragged more than 24 pt above or below the tab strip
floats its document in a window under the pointer and makes it the
current document (window.arrange.floatInWindow takes index and at for
this). A shorter drag, or one along the strip, leaves the tabs as they
are. A document window dragged by its title bar onto the tab strip goes
back under the tabs; the strip shows an outline while a window is over
it. A desktop document window is an OS window, so it has the document's
tab at its top: dragging that tab moves the window, and dropping it on
the main window's tab strip docks it (window.arrange.consolidateAllWindows
takes index for one document).
A document floated again opens where it is asked to, not where its last
window was.
Window > Arrange > Float in Window (window.arrange.floatInWindow) moves
the current document out of the tab strip into a floating window of its
own, and Float All in Windows (window.arrange.floatAllInWindows), a new
item, does so for every tabbed document. Cascade (window.arrange.cascade)
floats every document and stacks the windows from the upper left of the
document area to its lower right, 30 pt apart, in tab order. On the
desktop each window is an OS window; on the web and on Wayland it is a
window inside the app's window, as floating panels are. While the
control channel is attached, the windows also open inside the app's
window, so ui.click, ui.drag and ui.screenshot reach them.
The current document's window holds the canvas. The other windows, and
the main window while the current document floats, draw their documents
as Tile's panes do, and a press in one makes its document the current
one. A document's OS window that takes the keyboard focus makes its
document the current one, and keys typed there run the main window's
shortcuts. Closing a window closes its document, asking to save unsaved
changes. Consolidate All Windows brings floating documents back under
the tabs, and Tile brings them back into its grid.
Cascade is enabled with two or more documents, Float in Window while the
current document is tabbed, Float All in Windows while any document is
tabbed, and Consolidate All Windows while documents are tiled or
floating. ui.inspect reports the floating documents.
A style whose features turn on pnum or lnum alone, or pair a figure tag with
one the shown entry turns off (onum with lnum, tnum with pnum), showed a Figure
entry that does not match its tags. Choosing that entry then left the field
unchanged, so the tags could not be cleared. Figure now opens unset for these
lists, and choosing Default Figure writes -tnum, -onum, -pnum and -lnum.
Character Style Options and New Character Style get a Character Color
section and an OpenType Features section.
Character Color sets the fill and stroke (None or a document swatch;
a global swatch or a tint of one stays linked, with a Tint from 0% to
100%), the stroke Weight, and Overprint Fill and Overprint Stroke. A
gradient or pattern paint the style already has stays until another
paint is chosen.
OpenType Features sets Figure, Position, Standard and Discretionary
Ligatures, Contextual, Stylistic and Titling Alternates, Swash,
Ordinals, Fractions and Stylistic Sets 1 to 20. A changed control
replaces only its own tags in the style's feature list, so other tags
stay, and Default Figure and Default Position are stored as their
features turned off, distinct from unset.
Empty controls stay unset, and each section's Reset Panel clears only
its own attributes.
charStyle.new, charStyle.edit and charStyle.setAttrs check a changed
fill, stroke, stroke weight or feature list: tints from 0 to 1, links
to global swatches of the document (the color follows the swatch),
weights from 0 to 4000000, and known feature tags, at most 256. Values
the style or the text it is made from already has are kept.
charStyle.duplicate keeps the copied style's values in the same way, so
a style with a language tag that is not in the list can be duplicated.
Editing a global swatch now also updates the fill and stroke stored in
character styles, so their text no longer shows as overriding the style
and text styled later takes the new color. swatch.unused counts a swatch
a character style links to as used.
A dropped press (a long touch, a canceled touch, a second finger) now
goes to the tool through Tool::drop_press, which takes Escape as during
a drag by default. The Pen, Smart Pen and Curvature tools override it
so the path being drawn goes on: they forget the press, and a Curvature
point the press dragged goes back where it was.
The release that follows runs only the tool's Cancel and Notify actions,
so a Selection marquee selects nothing and a Shift-drag Artboard marquee
toggles nothing. The engine puts back the persistent options the tool
had at the press (the Polygon tool's sides changed with the arrow keys),
and stores none of them.
A long touch, a canceled touch or a second finger drops the tool press in
progress. The tool used to get a plain mouse-up, which it cannot tell from a
release: the options the drag changed (the Polygon tool's sides set with the
arrow keys) were stored, and a shape tool pressed and held still opened its
size dialog.
Session::drop_tool_press undoes the press's interaction, sends the tool
Escape as during a drag, and then a release that returns it to rest without
storing the tool's options. What the tool asks of the UI along the way is
dropped.
When the release frame held moves after the button-up, the last move
before it was dropped as the pointer's position, although the release
event carries its own position. That move's sample was lost from the
stroke. It is now kept unless it is at the button-up's position, and its
tilt and rotation still give the release's pose.
A Pencil or brush stroke takes every pointer move of a frame. In the
frame that releases the button, the moves that came after the button-up
were sent as drags before the release, so the stroke ran out to them
and back. The moves now stop at the primary button-up, and the pen pose
for the end of the stroke is the one kept for the last move before it.
An agent confined to automation roots could load the place cursor, with
file.place.queue or tool.setOption, and the files were placed later, by
a click of the person at the keyboard, outside any roots. tool.setOption
checked a queued path but not files given inline, whose linked files (an
SVG's referenced images) were then read with the keyboard user's
unrestricted access.
The session now keeps the automation roots in force when the cursor's
queue is loaded, and both the engine's own placement and the desktop
app's background placement read the queued file within them. A queue
loaded outside any roots places as before.
The gate failed kept_menu_names_are_menu_labels_left_in_english: sv is in
KEEPS_MENU_NAMES, so the MENU_KEEP_AS_IS names (VectorCraft, OpenType, the
workspace names, the perspective-grid presets) must stay in English. The
coverage report had listed them as missing; the 20 rows are removed so the
names fall back to English again. The two genuinely-missing strings
(Font Size:, digits Hindi) stay.

While a symbol with Enable Guides for 9-Slice Scaling on is edited in
symbol editing mode, the canvas draws its two horizontal and two vertical
guides as dotted lines across its art, with any tool and with ruler guides
hidden. With the Selection tool the pointer near a guide shows the Move
cursor, and dragging the guide sets it through `symbol.options`'s
`nineSliceGuides` as one undo step; Escape during the drag puts it back.
A guide within 4 screen pixels takes the press before the art and the
bounding box. A dragged guide stays within the art's box and stops short
of the opposite guide; positions outside the art are not supported yet.
Buttons beside the Edit tab's wheel switch between the smooth color wheel,
a segmented wheel of solid patches (24 hues by 5 saturations, its markers
moving as freely as on the smooth wheel) and color bars: one solid bar per
recolored color in row order, where a click selects a bar's row for the
color sliders and a drag moves the row without changing a color. The
dialog opens on the smooth wheel and keeps the choice while it is open;
the dialog field is `display` (`smooth`, `segmented`, `bars`).
Select › Same › Text Fill & Stroke Color (select.same.textFillAndStrokeColor) selects the type
objects with a run of characters whose fill and stroke both match the first character of the
first selected type. Type that matches only the fill or only the stroke, or has the fill in one
run and the stroke in another, is left out. The entry follows Text Stroke Color in the menu and
has a row in every catalog.
The Swedish catalog lacked 22 interface strings: the workspace names
(Essentials, Painting, Typography, Web, Touch), the 1P/2P/3P view
preset names and the Hindi digit-script name.
Adds them with the vocabulary the catalog already uses (Utskrift,
Teckenstorlek). After this the report lists nothing missing for sv.

The Russian catalog covered 6,126 of the 6,256 interface strings: the
workspace names (Essentials, Painting, Typography…), their Reset
entries, the artboard and dimension annotations, the PDF and export
preset names, the library panel sentences and several control-channel
messages still fell back to English.
Adds the 130 missing entries in the catalog's TSV format with the
Illustrator-style vocabulary the catalog already uses (монтажная
область, выносные линии, плашечные цвета, трассировка). After this the
report lists nothing missing for ru.

The menu bar takes ⌘V's key-down as Edit › Paste's key equivalent, and
`native_menu::key_events` turns it back into egui input. With text on the
clipboard that was a Paste event; with only a picture (a screenshot) it
was nothing, leaving the paste to the window's own key-up. egui's window
integration only releases a key whose press it saw, so that release never
came and ⌘V pasted nothing, while Edit › Paste and ⌘V with the menu open
worked.
`key_events` now ends ⌘V with the key's release, as it already did for
⌘X and ⌘C: without a Paste event that release is the picture paste
`PasteChord` looks for, and after one it ends that paste so the next
picture paste still fires.
