dotCooCoo c8701a18cd .ai import: legacy binding punctuation opens as Burasagari's Force setting
The legacy reader skipped `bindrepeat Tg` (section 15.3.4 of the version 7
file format specification). It now reads the binding punctuation bit:
1 and 3 set the paragraph's Burasagari to Force, and 0 and 2 set it to
none, which is VectorCraft's own mapping. The value is modal, lasts into
the next text object, and an operand other than 0 to 3 leaves it as it
was. The repeat character, `TG`, `Xu` and `Tu` are still skipped.

docs/mcp.md and the `ParaStyle::burasagari` doc comment name the legacy
`.ai` case as the exception to imported text keeping `none`.

dotCooCoo c94aec3fff Envelopes: type maps from its glyph outline bounds
An envelope mapped type from its laid-out box: ascent to descent for
point type, the frame for area type. The distorted glyphs then filled
less of the envelope than other art does, with room above the capitals
and below the baseline.

The envelope now maps type from the bounds of its glyph outlines,
underlines and strikethroughs when the type is on its own, in groups
and layers, or used as a clipping path. Inline graphics count by their
boxes. Rotated type and type in perspective map from their outlines as
they are drawn. Make with Mesh,
Make with Top Object and Reset with Mesh without Maintain Shape use
those bounds. Type that draws nothing keeps its laid-out box, and so
does type inside any other object, such as a blend, a repeat or a
symbol instance. Shrink Text to Fit type is measured as it is laid out
on the page.

vectorcraft-text's envelope_ink measures the type, and
register_envelope_ink registers it with the document crate. The engine
session, Renderer::new, live evaluation in vectorcraft-effects and the
.ai reader register it. The document crate keeps the measured boxes per
thread, by object and by a hash of the content, and measures again when
the type, the fonts, the hyphenation exceptions or the transform's
scale or rotation change.

This is VectorCraft's own rule. Envelopes of type made in VectorCraft
and in saved files map from the glyph outline bounds instead of the
type's laid-out box, so they redraw differently.

dotCooCoo 089d6c3e74 .ai import: warped type in a file with artboards is compared on the first artboard
The page that warped type is compared with was read after the artboard
list had been moved into the document, so a file with an artboard list
fell back to its crop marks or its art's box. The page is now read
before the list is moved.

dotCooCoo 7036d44603 .ai import: warped type bound to a text variable stays type
Warped type that a text variable binds stays type with the effect live,
so it keeps its binding. Before, a failed comparison replaced it with
its drawn art and the binding was skipped.

When drawn art replaces warped type with a wrap setting, the wrap shapes
are checked against the file's limit on wrap work again, so a file whose
drawn art would go past it opens from its page, as one with too many
text objects does.

dotCooCoo d54d4657b9 .ai import: warped type that draws differently from the file opens as its drawn art
A Warp on type, on the object or on one of its fills or strokes, opened
as a live effect with no check. Where the live warp draws a different
shape from the art saved in the file, the type moved and changed size.

Warped type is now compared with its saved art once it is laid out,
with the comparison and the per-file budget that envelopes use. Type
that draws as its saved art stays editable with the effect live. Other
warped type opens as that art, not as editable type, with one note that
counts them, and saving over the file asks first. The art's box goes
back into the comparison with the page. Type stays live without a
comparison when its saved art paints nothing or draws type of its own,
and in frames of threaded type.

dotCooCoo 888bf32f82 Blend: Smooth Color counts a step per level of color change
Smooth Color now counts the steps between each pair of keys from the
keys' colors and visible bounds, which changes the step count of most
Smooth Color blends. The counts are VectorCraft's own values:

- When the keys' solid fills or strokes differ (in groups, member by
  member; in text, run by run), the count is 255 times the largest
  change of one channel as a fraction of its range, a half step
  rounding down, from 1 to 254. An RGB channel's range is 256 values,
  CMYK and gray count in percent, and two tints of one swatch by their
  tints. It is at most eight per point of the largest of the keys'
  widths and heights and the distance between their centers. Black to
  white was 128 steps and is now 254.
- When the colors match, a solid paint meets no paint, or a key holds
  a gradient or a pattern, the count is the largest distance between
  corresponding visible bounding-box edges divided by the keys' mean
  width or height, rounded, less one, from 1 to 1000. Two 20 pt
  squares 200 pt apart were 100 steps and are now 9.

Keys without bounds make the color count when their colors differ,
and 1 step otherwise.

A blend nested in another blend's keys counts toward the step limit
by its color steps when its colors differ, and as up to 1000 steps
when they match (256 before). An outer blend of 200 steps between two
such same-color Smooth Color blends now draws 99 steps.

A Smooth Color blend in an .ai file whose drawn steps follow this rule
now opens as a live blend.

dotCooCoo 81a7a68388 .ai import: legacy type in CJK fonts decodes by the font's CMap
Legacy type in a composite font such as HeiseiMin-W3-83pv-RKSJ-H was
decoded one byte to a character, so Japanese, Chinese and Korean type
opened as unrelated single-byte characters, and the font name kept the
CMap.

Tf now finds a predefined CMap at the end of the font name, unless a TZ
gives the font encoding pairs, and the font is the name without it.
Strings in that font are read by the CMap's code space, mapped to CIDs
with the predefined CMaps craft-pdf carries, then to Unicode by the
character collection's CID-to-Unicode CMap. Codes the CMap doesn't map
are dropped. A -V CMap is read with its -H form's codes. Codes in the
Unicode CMaps (UCS2, UTF8, UTF16, UTF32) are read as Unicode; those
helpers follow mockydevs' #6067. A 0x0D byte ends a paragraph and a 0x09
byte is a tab in these fonts too.

The predefined CMaps craft-pdf doesn't carry (RKSJ, 78-RKSJ, 78ms-RKSJ,
78-EUC, 78, Add, Ext, NWP, GB, CNS1, KSC, B5 and the Hong Kong B5 sets
other than HKscs-B5) are read with the nearest
carried CMap, which can give a different character for some codes.
GBT, GBT-EUC, GBTpc-EUC, CNS2 and KSC-Johab type still decodes byte by
byte, with the CMap removed from the font name.

dotCooCoo 0f39b54a05 .ai import: type on a later page of a PDF of some artboards goes to its artboard
A PDF saved with some of its artboards has a page for each of them, while
the editing data keeps them all. The importer took the pages after the
first to show the artboards right after the first page's artboard. In a
PDF of artboards 2 and 4 of 4, the second page's type went to artboard 3.
In a PDF of artboards 1 and 3 of 4, the second page's type went to the
left edge of artboard 2.

Each page after the first now goes to an artboard of its size that comes
after the previous page's artboard and leaves an artboard for each later
page. The artboard chosen for the first page also leaves one for each
later page. When several artboards fit a later page, the importer
compares their art with the page and takes the closest one, or the first
of them on a tie. It compares at most 16 artboards for all the later
pages together, the same limit it uses for the first page. A later page
with no comparisons left takes the first artboard that fits it.

When the PDF has fewer pages than artboards and its first page shows the
first artboard, the first page's type and page art still go to the art's
box or to the editing data's artboard.

dotCooCoo 1d32aff63f Tests: the CSS, glow and .ai Zstandard guards count work instead of timing it
Three tests failed on a loaded machine because they asserted elapsed
time. Each now counts the work that the slow behavior it guards
against would repeat, with a counter compiled only into tests:

- The CSS cascade test counts selector tests, at most two per element
  (testing every rule against every element tests N x N). It styles
  5,000 elements, so the slow behavior fails on the count rather than
  on the hang guard, which now waits 300 s.
- The stacked-glow test counts the silhouettes drawn, 30 for 30 glows
  with and without the shadow cache.
- The Zstandard frames test counts the bytes looked at to find the
  zero padding.

The hang guards for invalid dash patterns, text layout and script
checks of a pipe wait 300 s instead of 20 s.

dotCooCoo 37245779aa .ai import: legacy overflow breaks keep the direction and paragraph attributes they were read with
The reader holds an overflow paragraph break (`(\r) TX`) until more type
follows it. When that type came, the break took the state in force then,
not the state where the break was read:

- A story that started with the break took the `TV` direction of the
  characters after it, so `1 TV (\r) TX 0 TV (Body) Tx` opened horizontal
  and gave no warning.
- A break read in the other direction inside a story did not count as a
  direction change.
- The empty paragraph that the break ended took the attributes of the
  paragraph after it, while `(\r) Tx` keeps its own.

The pending break now records `TV` and, when it ends an empty paragraph,
that paragraph's attributes.

dotCooCoo bbf4834f12 .ai import: a hidden clipping path's fill leaves with it
The fill read apart from a clipping path that was read on %_ lines, and
the copies of its subpaths, are recorded as read on those lines too, so
the copy of a look's art that is removed takes them along. The file
format notes list a compound clipping path whose subpaths paint
differently among the exceptions to a clipping path keeping its fill.
2026-11-08 11:22:37 +07:00
dotCooCoo 589fd863c4 .ai import: a compound path's plain subpath keeps its fill
In a compound clipping path whose subpaths paint differently, the fill
of a subpath that does not clip was read apart with the clipping
subpaths' fills. Only the clipping subpaths' fills are read apart now,
and a subpath that does not clip keeps its fill, as before.
2026-11-08 11:22:37 +07:00
dotCooCoo b33cdfd14f .ai import: a clipping path's fill read apart keeps its own ids
A fill read apart from a clipping path took a copy of the clipping
path's opacity mask whose art kept the original's ids, so the document
held two objects with one id. The copy of the mask's art, and the
subpaths of a fill read apart from a compound clipping path, now get
ids of their own and stay linked to the same swatches.

dotCooCoo 72959e6e80 .ai import: a multi-layer mask's fill paints once
Each layer a multi-layer mask covers gets a copy of the mask's path, so
a fill kept on that path painted in every layer, over the art the mask
covers in the layers before. The mask's fill is read as a path of its
own again, where the mask's path is, and the copies have no fill. A
fill read apart from a compound clipping path is a compound path whose
subpaths do not clip and have ids of their own. A fill read apart, its
subpaths and their points count toward the importer's object limit.

dotCooCoo 6ab82ca71e .ai import: a filled clipping path keeps its fill
The reader took the fill off a clipping path in a file's editing data and
added a copy of the path, holding only that fill, under the art it clips.
A clipping path paints its own fill under the clipped art and its stroke
over it, so the reader now keeps the fill on the clipping path. A filled
clipping path opens as one path instead of two, in a clipping group, a
clipping layer and each level of nested clipping paths. Its note, tags and
gradient stroke (`1 BB`) are on that path as before.

A compound clipping path whose subpaths all paint alike keeps their fill.
When its subpaths paint differently, the fills of the filled subpaths are
still a compound path of their own under the clipped art, so a subpath
the file does not fill stays unfilled. Clipping paths in a compound path
that holds its drawn look still have their fills read as paths of their
own under the art, each with its clipping path's opacity mask.

dotCooCoo d180ad456e .ai import: brush art brings at most 20,000 color names, each once
Each brush art section keeps only the first definition of each color name, and at most 20,000 names. The art of the brushes that come in brings at most 20,000 different color names in all, every section's color operators before any section's gradient stops, so art that no brush uses or that a later section replaces takes no places. Colors left out still count toward the color mode.

A test also checks that a global process color which only a brush's art defines with its color operator stays a process color when a gradient stop names it.

dotCooCoo cbfca36c85 .ai import: spot colors in a kept brush's art become swatches
The reader kept a brush's art but dropped the colors it read from it, so
a spot color that only a Scatter or Art brush's art used made no swatch,
and the art's process colors did not count toward the document's color
mode.

The reader now keeps each brush art section's colors with its art. When
the document is finished, the colors of the art that a kept brush uses
are added after the rest of the file's, in the order the art was read:
its spot colors make swatches and its colors count toward the color
mode. Art that no kept brush uses (a pattern brush's tiles, a section
that a later one of the same name replaced, a section inside a symbol's
definition) brings none of its colors, and a spot color that the page's
art, a pattern or a symbol also defines keeps the value defined there.

dotCooCoo 77b72da70d .ai import: Stair Step spacing is fitted from its glyphs' origins
Stair Step's glyphs stay upright, so their matrices never show the path
turning and the spacing fit found no turn at all. The fit now takes the
path through each glyph's origin, which lies on the path, and measures
how far it turns over a step from the circle through three origins in a
row.

dotCooCoo 2fbd60a6dd .ai import: 3D Ribbon spacing holds where the path turns back
3D Ribbon's level baseline faces the way the path runs, so where the path
runs left its baseline and foot are turned round. The spacing fit read
that as a half turn and left the pair out, so a short run on either side
of a vertical tangent came in with no spacing. The fit now turns those
glyphs back first. With an alignment, the two glyphs either side of that
point lie on opposite sides of the path, and that pair is left out.
2026-11-08 11:22:31 +07:00
dotCooCoo 2faec2fa11 .ai import: Skew, Stair Step and Gravity measure the path's turn square to it
The spacing fitted from a type-on-a-path layout measured each turn against
the glyph's own foot. Skew's feet stay upright, so on a tilted or leftward
path the turn picked up a false angle and the fitted spacing was wrong (a
straight path at 30 degrees gave -9.7 instead of 0). Effects other than
Rainbow and 3D Ribbon now measure the turn against the baseline turned a
right angle.

The file-format doc states that a frame whose options set key 6 to true
keeps the default effect, alignment and Flip.
2026-11-08 11:22:31 +07:00
dotCooCoo 53f6aafe87 .ai import: type on a path keeps its effect, alignment and flip
Type on a path from a file's text document opened as Rainbow on its
baseline, not flipped, whatever Type on a Path Options the frame kept.
Each frame now keeps its effect (Rainbow, Skew, 3D Ribbon, Stair Step,
Gravity), Align to Path (Ascender, Descender, Center, Baseline) and Flip.
A code or flag that can't be read leaves that option at its default.

Flipped type opens with the frame's path reversed once, after a copied
object takes its own art path, and an open path's end bracket stays so
the type starts where the file's range ends.

Spacing is still fitted from the file's layout. The fit now measures along
the path when Align to Path moves the baselines off it, and it follows the
glyphs' feet under 3D Ribbon, whose baselines stay level.

dotCooCoo fe9d62e05e .ai import: legacy type keeps its writing direction, Tate-chu-yoko runs and upright Roman characters
The legacy reader skipped `TV`, `Tv`, `Ty` and `TY` of section 15.3.4 of
the version 7 file format specification, so type set with `1 TV` opened
horizontal.

- `TV` sets a text object's writing direction. VectorCraft keeps one
  direction for each text object, the one in force at its first
  character, with a warning when a later character has another.
- `Ty` marks a Kumi block as a Tate-chu-yoko run, which is VectorCraft's
  own mapping, and `TY` does the same in horizontal type. A `TY` block in
  vertical type opens unmarked. Two blocks with nothing between them open
  as one block.
- `Tv` sets Standard Vertical Roman Alignment.

All four are modal, and an operand other than 0 or 1 leaves the value as
it was.

An object read as its drawn look counted in the import's "came in as
their drawn look" note when it was on the page or in a kept symbol, but
not when it was in a pattern's art or a brush's art. A file whose only
such objects were in a pattern or a brush opened without the note.

- A kept pattern's drawn looks count, once for each pattern name: a
  definition that a later one of the same name replaces no longer counts.
- A brush's art counts once a brush that is kept uses it; art no kept
  brush uses adds nothing.

Don Omondi dfa9548938 EPS import: an image too large to read skips its data
An image over the pixel cap was left out without reading its data, so
the program went on to read that data as PostScript and the file failed
to open (Ghostscript's eps2write writes a page with a large inline image
this way). The data is now skipped: the filters that find their own end

Don Omondi fdbd116577 EPS import: cvi and cvr read radix numbers
cvi and cvr read a string as the PostScript syntax reads a number
(PLRM 3rd ed., cvi, cvr), so (16#20) cvi is 32. The reader parsed strings
as decimal only. Ghostscript's eps2write prolog undoes a name's #20 escape
that way, so its files with a spot colour named with spaces stopped

Don Omondi 06a035e86b EPS import: bind leaves the procedures it already bound alone
bind makes each procedure it goes into read-only and ignores read-only
procedures (PLRM 3rd ed., bind). The reader bound them again, so a prolog
that binds a procedure holding an earlier-bound one, after defining a name
such as M as an operator, turned that procedure's own variable M into
setmiterlimit. Ghostscript's eps2write prolog does this, and its files with
sampled functions (transfer, black generation) failed to open.

dotCooCoo 3d7dda200e .ai import: opacity mask art of one object opens as that object
The reader put an opacity mask's art in a group every time, so a mask
made from one path came back from a saved .ai as a group holding the
path, while Make Opacity Mask keeps one object as the art. This also
changes how existing files with single-object masks open, because
the editing data of a .ai, an EPS and a PDF goes through this reader:
the art is the object.

A hidden object or a guide stays in a group, because the canvas draws
the art's root whether it is shown or not and whether guides show. A
clipping path alone stays a clipping group.

The editing copy writes a plain group of one object as a group (u, the
object, U), so it reads back as a group. Its other plain groups are
still written as their members. Hidden mask art is written shown,
because the canvas draws it and a group read back would not.

Clipping paths in a compound path that holds a drawn look become one
compound path. It took the paths' shared stroke, opacity and blend mode

dotCooCoo a9b49f716b .ai import: images, meshes and blends keep the knockout shape flag
An `Xy` whose shape operand is set now reaches an image (embedded or
linked) and a gradient mesh when it is written before the object, and a
mesh or blend when it is written after the object's end. A live blend
takes the flag from its drawn steps. Before, the reader dropped the flag
on these objects, so an image saved with Opacity & Mask Define Knockout
Shape lost it on reopening, with no warning.

A styled object takes the flag written on its drawn look. For a text
object, the flag goes to the object when the look draws only its type,
and otherwise to the group that holds the look and the type. An opaque
look that draws more than the type and sets the flag now goes into that
group as well.

mode and knockout shape flag.

- Type keeps its Isolate Blending and Knockout Group state in a state

- The reader no longer gives a layer the Xy before its last text object.
- The ASCII85 end marker of the text document stays on one line.

dotCooCoo aed9898b8d .ai save: the editing copy keeps type as type
The editing copy of a PDF-compatible .ai wrote every text object as its
outlines. Point type, area type and type on a path are now written as
text: a text object in the layers that names its story, and the text
document after the document data (%AI11_BeginTextDocument) holding the
stories.

- Each story holds its characters (a paragraph ends in \r, a forced line
  break is \x03), its character runs (font, size, leading, tracking,
  baseline shift, horizontal and vertical scale, solid fill and stroke
  with its weight, capitals, Tate-chu-yoko) and its paragraph runs
  (alignment, indents, space before and after, hyphenation, right-to-left
  direction).
- Point type keeps its point and, when it is turned, its matrix. Type
  scaled by one factor, such as all type on a large canvas, has its scale
  in its sizes, frame and path. Area type keeps its frame, rows,
  columns, gutters and first baseline, type on a path its path and where
  it starts and ends, and vertical type its orientation. A threaded story
  is one story through its frames in order. Area type and type on a path
  carry their frame's path in the layers as well.
- Type the text document can't hold is written as its outlines, with a
  warning: type in opacity masks, pattern tiles and art cut to a clipping
  object, mirrored type, turned or unevenly scaled area type and type on
  a path, frames of several parts, area type that flows around a text wrap,
  threads whose frames differ in orientation or include a frame written
  as outlines, type and stories past the sizes the reader reads, and type
  with inline graphics, ruby, gradient or pattern paint or an appearance
  or opacity mask of its own. Other character and paragraph attributes are left out, with
  a warning.

Tracking is written as a whole number of thousandths of an em, and
solid paints as simple paints; tracking that isn't a whole number is
rounded, with the warning.

Each construct is written in the form VectorCraft's .ai reader reads
(crates/eps/src/import/ate.rs at 36ef34dfdd: Texts::read :407, story
:501, frame :456, para :562, style :588, paint :622, AreaFrame::read
:284; the text object in import/ai/read/art.rs:15 and its path in
import/ai/frames.rs:26), and the tests read the written data back
through that reader. The scripting
reference documents the same attributes on the reading side (text frame
kinds, columnCount, columnGutter, rowCount, startTValue, endTValue,
orientation, and the character attributes):
https://web.archive.org/web/20160410101607/https://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/illustrator/sdk/CC2014/Illustrator%20Scripting%20Reference%20-%20JavaScript.pdf

The reader now closes a text object's frame path painted with a closing
operator (n, f, s, b, h), so area type's frame comes back closed; places
point type whose story keeps no composed lines at its frame's point;
keeps a story's last empty paragraph (only the \r that ends the story is
dropped); gives type made from the text document its text object's lock,
as it gives it its visibility; and gives type its text object's knockout
shape flag, as it gives it its opacity and blend mode.

Tests: the round trip of every kind of type and its state, a second
write of what is read back giving the same bytes, the text document and
stubs, scaled point type, a story split between threaded frames, the
fallbacks and the warnings, and the engine's editing copy with every save
option; a fuzz case for damaged text documents and stubs.

dotCooCoo 0c570dee87 .ai import: paths with an Art brush open with the brush on their stroke
A path with an Art brush comes in as the path, with the brush on its
stroke at its weight, instead of as its drawn look, when the brush
stretches art of solid-filled paths along the path, unflipped, at 100% in
Tints. The art runs on the side of the path the file draws it.

The drawn look stays for other colorizations and widths; Proportional,
between-guides and flipped brushes; type; a path with settings of its own,
a variable width, effects, a swatch stroke or an entry that isn't read;
and art with strokes, gradients, patterns, masks or effects, or no length.

A brushed stroke, Calligraphic ones too, takes the brush the Brushes panel
keeps under its name, and an image with a brush keeps its drawn look.

In every document, Tints and Tints and Shades take art in black ink alone
by its ink amount, and a process or gray stroke color's tints and shades
stay in that color's model.

Place and Expand bring the brushes the art uses, renaming on conflict.

Part of #637.

dotCooCoo ab3ac3d429 .ai import: envelopes map from their stroked box when the file saves its size
When Distort Appearance is on and the size a `.ai` saves for an
envelope's contents (`AIDeformArtWidthKey`, `AIDeformArtHeightKey`)
matches the contents' bounds with strokes, the reader now maps the
contents from that stroked box. It used to map them from the geometric
bounds, half a stroke inside that box, so an envelope of stroked art
could differ from its drawn art and keep the drawn art with a note.

Envelope Options hold the box's margins as `boundsMargin`, shares of the
geometric bounds at the top, bottom, left and right. Native files write
them only when they are not zero, and `object.envelope.info` reports
them then. Leaving Edit Contents measures them again when the strokes
reach differently than when Edit Contents began, and the node holds
what they measured then until it leaves. New envelopes have no
margins, so their results do not change. Contents with no width or no
height, such as one straight line, get no margins.

dotCooCoo a17907ee7d .ai import: data with no end outside a section does not hide a later section's end
When the scan for swatch names searched data outside a section and found no `~>`, it stopped searching for the end of all later data. Data in a later section then was not skipped, so a `(` on a `%_` line of it opened a string that ran past the section's end marker, and a color named after the section did not reserve its name. The scan now records the search that found nothing per section's end marker, so a search in another section still stops at that section's markers.

dotCooCoo 3e1893d399 .ai import: ASCII85 data without its end does not hide the section's end
Data with no `~>` before the section's end marker was lexed as tokens, so a `(` on a `%_` line of it opened a string that ran past the marker and the section did not end. The scan now skips that data up to the section's end marker, or up to the start of a section of the same kind nested after it. A `%` on the key's own line starts no marker, and a marker line with bytes that are not UTF-8 counts, as the scan reads comments.

When versioned content does not end, the scan for swatch names goes back to where its dictionaries stood at the start of that content, so data in the range it reads again is skipped.

dotCooCoo babbbb9eb0 .ai import: ASCII85 data in a section does not hide the section's end
A section scan lexed a /ForeignObject's /Data, a /Binary dictionary's data and a text document's data as tokens. A `%_` line of that data holding a `(` opened a string, so the section ran past its end marker: the editing data failed to read, or the art after it was misread. Reader::section now skips the data up to its `~>`, as the reader does for art outside a section. Data without its `~>` before the section's end marker is not skipped. The scan for swatch names does the same.

dotCooCoo 6e39148623 .ai import: Soft Mix's Command and Mix rate were seen in saved files
Comments only. A saved Soft Mix holds Command 11 and a Mix of the Mixing
Rate divided by 100, and a saved Mix can fall outside the 0.01 to 1 the
reader takes, which keeps the drawn look.

dotCooCoo 92943095b8 .ai import: the other Effect › Pathfinder operations open as live effects on a group
A group whose style holds Effect › Pathfinder › Intersect, Exclude, Subtract,
Minus Back, Divide, Outline, Trim, Merge, Crop, Hard Mix or Soft Mix now opens
with its members editable and the effect live, as Add already did
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/reshape-transform-objects/combine-objects-using-pathfinder-effects.html).

The Command numbers 1 to 10 are VectorCraft's own reader rules, learned from
saved files. Soft Mix's number 11, and reading its Mix from 0.01 to 1 as a
Mixing Rate of Mix times 100, are also VectorCraft's own reader rules.

These still open as the drawn look:
- Trap, and the effect on a path, on type, on a layer or on a fill or stroke.
- Any operation whose saved Pathfinder Options (Precision, Remove Redundant
  Points, Divide and Outline Will Remove Unpainted Artwork), ConvertCustom,
  Mix or Trap settings differ from the values the reader accepts, although
  only Soft Mix uses Mix and none of these operations uses the Trap settings.

The import fuzz test now also gives the style every option with any Mix, and
checks that a live Soft Mix's rate is from 1 to 100.

dotCooCoo d45ebe465b .ai save: the editing copy names the active artboard
The editing copy of a .ai or .ait file that VectorCraft saves or exports
now has `%_<n> /Int (CropAreaActive) ,` after the ArtboardArray in its
recorded part, and marks that artboard as the selected one. The app
records its view's active artboard before each command
(DocState::active_artboard; an index past the last artboard is the last,
as in the Artboards panel); without a view, the artboard the document
opened on (Document::opened_artboard) is written, else the first. A .ai
file read from its editing copy opens on that artboard. Before, the copy
named no active artboard and always marked the first as selected.
