Show DCS Transparency Interactions compared full object bounds, so a
transparent object over the part of a DCS image that its clipping path
hides marked the image. Bounds are now cut to the clipping paths of the
clip groups and clipping layers that hold each object.
A print to a file and the print preview list their notes as saves and
exports do since #6920: what the job leaves out of the document or prints
differently first (art outside the imageable area, type in a fallback
font, transparency flattened for PostScript), then the notes on the
options (halftone screens and a fixed flatness that aren't written, copies
per sheet that don't fit, a printer profile left out, ink options that
name no ink). Each kind keeps the order it is given in.
The print layout, the PDF print and the PDF print plan return the notes
on the options in `setting_notes` beside `warnings`, as `ExportReport`
does. The status message after a print to a file names the first note,
so a fixed flatness no longer hides type printed in a fallback font.
A solid now shares its mapped graphics only with the run of solids just
before it that have the same opacity and blending mode. Before, it
joined any earlier solid with the same settings, so with members A, B
and C where A and C match, A's graphic was drawn after C and over B.
The Materials tab shows no artboard handles for graphics on a hidden
fill or stroke, which draws no solid and no graphics.
docs/three-d.md now says that pattern tiles in a graphic keep their own
colors instead of taking the face's light.
Space held while dragging out a new anchor already moved it, handles and
all, but the closing drag skipped it, so the closing anchor could not be
repositioned. The closing drag now moves the first anchor by as far as the
pointer moves while Space is held, its handles with it, and the drag
shapes the handles round the new place once Space is released.
path.close takes `at: [x, y]`, which moves the first anchor, its handles
with it, before `in` and `out` are placed. docs/mcp.md and the Pen line
in docs/target-app-parity.md describe it.
- 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.
docs/mcp.md said twice that `pages` naming every page of a .ai saved
without PDF compatibility opens it from its editing data, once with the
file named and once as "such a file". The paragraph also ended in the
middle of a sentence: "`clipboard.importPdf` takes every object of its
editing".
The sentence now appears once, with the file named, and the paragraph
ends with "its editing data."
Docs: docs/mcp.md.
A mesh envelope's points carry no color, so object.mesh.addLine with
a color at a point the envelope already has changes nothing. It now
compares only the envelope's points and handles and records no undo
step. The command text and docs/mcp.md say so.
object.mesh.addLine at a point that is already a mesh point (a corner,
a point on an edge or inside) adds neither a row nor a column, yet it
recorded an undo step. The lines are now added to a copy of the object
first: when the grid stays the same, including a mesh envelope stored
without handles, the command returns the point's index and records
nothing. A new color at the point is still one undo step.
The symbol instances the picker reads now share one limit of 16,000,000
placed objects, charged through charge_symbol_art and counted as the
renderer counts them, so deeply nested or heavily repeated instances
stop there. An instance whose art would pass the limit is left out with
its own paints, as the canvas draws none of it. Pattern tiles carry the
count in and out, and their art is read one level deeper than the
object the pattern fills, so a chain of patterns shares the depth limit
with the art around it; a pattern cut short there is read again where
it is used less deep.
The pixels read inside clip groups are now tested against at most
4,000,000 clipping-path elements in all. The clipped reads of one image
share the work, a read outside clip groups keeps its own pixel budget,
and when the work left can't test a pixel of every clipped read, the
reads that fit are kept in order and the rest are left out.
ImageBlob::sample_pixels takes a pixel budget for each pick.
A drag with the right or middle button on a Layers row could move or
copy the row, and the same drag on a guide row, the selected-art
square, the eye or lock column or a target circle moved the guide or
the art, swept visibility or locks, or transferred the appearance.
Each of these drags now starts only with the primary button, as the
Artboards panel's row drag does, and the grab cursor follows the
primary button too. A right-click still opens the row's menu.
The new test drags each of the six sources with the secondary and the
middle button, checks that no drag payload is held and that nothing in
the document or its undo steps changes, then drags the same path with
the primary button to show the drop target takes it.
docs/ui-parity.md and docs/target-app-parity.md listed the distance and
angle readouts while drawing as missing. With Smart Guides > Measurement
Labels on, the Line Segment tool labels the segment being drawn with its
distance, angle and X and Y offsets, and the Pen, Curvature and Smart Pen
tools label their rubber band the same way (#2983). The Measurement
labels row is marked done, the two dimension rows drop the gap, and the
Drawing aids entry describes the labels.
An Alt-click on an end of a selected open path makes that end the current
point without converting it, so the next click extends the path from it.
This applies to the other end too while one end is current; a plain click
there still closes the path. Alt-click on any other point still toggles it
between smooth and corner, and a double-click toggles any point, ends
included. An Alt-click that starts a new path places a corner point, as
later Alt-clicks do.
Changed behavior: an Alt-click on an end of a selected open path no longer
converts it; double-click converts it.
