The duplicate Type core rows carried evidence the kept row did not: recent-font groups (#3515), Fractional Widths per type object, color emoji bitmap fonts, and the threading ports clause (#2572) with its test names. Move it into the kept row's evidence cell.
With several rows highlighted, Layer Options shows the first row's
settings, and OK sent Show, Lock, Color, Template, Print, Preview and
Dim Images to layer.setProps for every row. Changing one setting gave
every row the first row's values for all of the others as well.
The dialog now records each setting set by one of its controls or by
ui.dialog.set, and for several rows OK sends only those. A setting set
to the value the dialog shows is still sent, so choosing the first row's
color gives every row that color.
When Template changes and Lock and Dim Images are not set in the dialog,
OK does not send them. layer.setProps then locks each row that becomes
a template and dims it to 50%, unless a percentage is set in the dialog,
and unlocks and stops dimming each row that stops being one. When
Template is turned on, the dialog shows that 50%. When Template is set
back to the first row's value, the dialog shows the first row's Lock,
Dim Images and percentage again. A Dim Images percentage set in the
dialog is sent whenever Dim Images is on, also when Template turned it
on.
ui.dialog.set of template now also sets locked and dimImages, as the
Template checkbox does, for one row as well as several. Before, a script
that set template to true and confirmed the dialog left the layer
unlocked and undimmed.
The Dim Images percentage field now has the accessible name "Dim Images
to:", as its checkbox has.
Window › Toolbars › Manage Toolbars… and Manage Toolbars… in the All Tools
drawer's menu open a dialog that lists the toolbars made with New Toolbar.
A name typed for the selected toolbar renames it, + copies the selected
toolbar or, with none selected, makes a new one, and the trash can deletes
it (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tools.html, Manage toolbars).
VectorCraft's own details:
- A rename applies at Enter, when the text box loses focus, or at OK. The
name follows New Toolbar's rules: not empty, at most 200 characters, and
not another toolbar's in any case.
- A copy is called "<name> Copy" (then "<name> Copy 2"), shows a little
below the toolbar it copies and below earlier copies; a new toolbar is
called "Toolbar N".
- Each change applies at once; deleting also removes the groups torn off
the toolbar.
- When the typed name is refused, a click on +, the trash can or another
toolbar is not applied, so the name can be corrected. When the selected
toolbar is deleted elsewhere while the dialog is open, none is selected.
- Renaming or deleting a toolbar closes the All Tools drawer and a group's
flyout open on it; a change of case only leaves them open, and the Tools
panel's flyouts and other toolbars' stay open.
- Each change shows under Window › Toolbars and is kept with the workspace.
New commands: window.toolbar.manage, window.toolbar.rename,
window.toolbar.duplicate and window.toolbar.delete, with catalog rows for
their labels in every language.

Part of #1759
The task bar offered no Type on a Path item for a selected type on a
path: of the type actions, it showed only Create Outlines. It now also
offers Type on a Path Options, which opens the same dialog as Type ›
Type on a Path › Type on a Path Options, with the selected type's
effect, alignment and spacing filled in. Point and area type keep
their Convert To Area Type and Convert To Point Type buttons.
Select > Same > Font Family, Font Family & Style, Font Family, Style & Size,
Font Size and the text fill and stroke color commands took the type to match
from the first type found among the selected objects. Type that is hidden or
locked inside a selected group, type on a template layer and type outside the
isolated group could set the reference. They now take it from the type that
Link Block Series starts from, in the same selection order. A selection whose
only type cannot be selected returns "select a text object".
Window > New Window was grayed out. It now opens another view of the
current document, with its own zoom, center, rotation, artboard and
Outline or Preview, as a tab of its own. While a document has more than
one view, each tab shows the view's number after the name
("Untitled-1:2"). An edit in one view shows in every view of the
document.
Tile, Cascade, Float in Window, Float All in Windows and Consolidate All
Windows arrange each view as they arrange a document, and Tile and
Cascade are enabled with two views of one document. A new view of a view
in a floating window opens in a floating window too. File > Close and a
tab's close button close the view; the document's last view closes the
document, asking to save it first. Next Document and Previous Document
step through the views in tab order.
Each Tile pane and floating window draws its view in its own Outline or
Preview, and switching views with the Artboard tool targets the artboard
the view shows. A switch to another view of the current document resets
the tool, as a switch to another document does (Session::reset_tool).
Artwork held over another view's tab during a drag switches to that
view, and a drop there moves it.
Fixes#4116
A path made of straight segments and circular arcs (a slot, a D shape,
a rounded rectangle, a pie) was written as one SPLINE, or as a flattened
polyline in R12. It is now one polyline whose vertices carry a bulge
(group 42) for each arc: an LWPOLYLINE in R14 and later, a POLYLINE with
VERTEX entities in R12 and R13, closed when the path is closed. Each run
of cubics on one circle becomes one arc. A path with any other curve
stays a SPLINE, and whole circles, arcs and ellipses keep their CIRCLE,
ARC and ELLIPSE entities.
- The circle test's tolerance is 5e-4 of the smaller of the radius and
the curve's extent, so a shallow curve that is not circular is no
longer written as an ARC.
- The drawing extents take each ARC's and each bulge's furthest points.
Part of #1299
A projection now counts as invertible when its determinant, or its
adjugate's determinant, is more than 1e-15 times the largest of the six
products that determinant sums. The adjugate of the adjugate is the map
times a number, so the inverse of a projection that inverts also inverts,
is stored and reads back. The adjugate's cofactors are formed with exact
products, so the inverse of that inverse gives back the original map up
to scale, within 1e-6 of each row's largest entry, and a map whose third
row is the sum of its first two is still refused.
Homography::conjugated and Node::transform_projection judged the affine
map by an absolute determinant of 1e-15, so a scale by 1e-8 left type and
symbol instances in perspective with their old projection. Both now use
Homography::affine_is_invertible, which compares the determinant with
the two products it sums at any scale of the map. An affine map whose
determinant or inverse is not finite, such as a scale by 1e200 or
1e-200, is inverted through Homography::inverse. When the direct product
underflows to a map that is not invertible, as for a projection stored
at a subnormal scale, conjugated forms it again with its powers of two
kept apart.

- crates/doc/src/node/tests.rs: a_projection_follows_the_transform_or_is_removed

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.

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.
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.
The progress line said a dropped press keeps nothing it began. A Curvature
press that adds a point and a press on another text object keep what they
did on press, as with Escape during the drag, so the line now says the drag
is canceled as Escape cancels it.
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.
text.setStyle takes stroke (a color or "none") and strokeWidth (the character
stroke's weight in document points, as stroke.set gives it), with keepModel
for both colors. They apply to all the text or to the start..end range, and
to graph label styles, in the same undo step as the command's other keys.
A stroke key was ignored before.
