Linked images and placed documents kept only in symbols, graph designs,
pattern swatches or opacity masks now have ids of their own. links.list
lists them after the layers' own, one row per stored object, with an
owner naming what holds them; links.check, the missing, modified and
updated files reported on open, the link watch and links.findFiles
report them by id; relink (All Instances included), update, embed,
placementOptions, info and image.info act on them. links.goTo on one
clears the selection and returns onCanvas: false with its owner, and the
Links panel says the link has no place on the canvas.
- Document::visit_stored, stored_node and stored_node_mut find objects
in every stored art. fix_next_id counts their ids and gives an object
there whose id is 0, past the id range or already used a new one,
updating Objects on Path references to renamed children.
- Copies of masked objects give the mask art new ids, and symbols and
patterns that placed art brings from another document take ids of the
document they join.
- The Links panel picks such rows in the panel itself, drops the pick
when the canvas selection changes, and draws their thumbnails from a
lookup made once per list refresh. Select by Link Status leaves them
out, as it cannot select them.
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.

- file.new installs the color profiles a New Document profile's file
carries when they are missing, as document.open does, so the new
document's assigned profile draws and a save embeds it. A color
profile that can't be used is listed in the result's `warnings` and
shown in the status bar.
- The new document's links find their files through relative paths
from the profile's file (`links_from`), as
edit.newDocumentFromState sets it.
- When the read roots leave out the profiles folder, profileError's
reason no longer names the folder's path.
A geometry effect on a symbol instance's topmost fill now reshapes the
filled shapes of the symbol's art, and one on its topmost stroke reshapes
the stroked shapes, keeping their colors, strokes and other detail. Only
a visible topmost fill or stroke with an opacity above 0 counts. Clipping
paths, guides and opacity-mask art keep their shapes; a group's own fills
and strokes in the art take the effects; a nested instance passes them on
to its own art, except one whose symbol holds the outer symbol.
The canvas, Use Preview Bounds and the drawn bounds, SVG and PDF export
and Object > Expand Appearance use the same art. Expand Appearance is
enabled for such an instance and turns it into an editable group in one
undo step. Bounds measure the art with a dynamic symbol's overrides, as
the canvas draws it.
Existing documents with a geometry effect on a symbol instance's fill or
stroke draw differently: before, the effect drew nothing.
The Colour, swatches, gradients, patterns, mesh, recolor row of
docs/target-app-parity.md now lists the outline fix and its two tests.
Score and hours are unchanged.
A 3D effect left an image in a clipping group out only when the image's
box missed the clipping path's box. An image in the corner of a round
clip's box, a turned image whose box reaches a clip but whose frame does
not, an image in an even-odd hole, or one inside each of two nested clips
but outside the area they show together was refused with the Image Trace
message, although it draws nothing.
The image's frame, the pixel rectangle as its transform places it, is now
cut to every clipping path around it in turn, each with its own fill rule,
and the image is left out when nothing is left. An image the clips show
any part of, a strip narrower than a hundredth of a point included, is
still refused. One effect's art cuts image frames at most 1,024 times;
past that, or when a cut fails, the art is refused.
A point exactly on a gradient mesh's outline located on the top and left
edges but not on the bottom and right ones, where the nonzero winding
number is 0. object.mesh.addLine and Create Gradient Mesh at a point there
reported the point outside the mesh, and the Eyedropper did not sample it,
while the hit test selects the mesh there.
locate_within now takes the nearest point of the edge for a point within
a millionth of a point of the outline, with any tolerance, and returns
nothing for a point that is not finite. A point just outside still needs
a tolerance.
