Add a test that Remove Breaks leaves type on a locked artboard as it is
when ids names it, with no undo step. Rewrap the Text tools paragraph
in docs/mcp.md and name the tests in docs/target-app-parity.md.
- addon.arrange.randomizeOpacity, type.orientation.vertical and .horizontal,
type.opticalMarginAlignment, type.systemLayout and type.fractionalWidths
run through edit_if_changed (the Edit Colors helper) and record an undo step
only when an opacity, a direction or a setting changes.
- A test for each command; the params text says so, and docs/mcp.md for the
commands it describes.
Remove Breaks, Break Text, Combine Point Text, Join Point Text, Set
Alignment, Keep Position and Reset Text Transform skipped locked and
hidden type even when `ids` named it, or named the group or layer
holding it, while other commands such as text.convertListToText act on
named locked or hidden objects.
- With `ids`, the type they name is taken locked or hidden too (not
type on a locked artboard); from the selection, only type that can
be edited, as before.
- Remove Breaks reads a named threaded story with a locked frame as one
text.
- Objects made from locked or hidden type are not selected.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Text tools), docs/target-app-parity.md.
graphicStyle.new linked the object it was made from, the art of a column
or marker design in a graph series included, and graphicStyle.redefine
gave the new look to every object still linked to the style. Redefining
the style from another object then restyled that art, which the graph
draws again from the design.
- graphicStyle.new makes a style from the art without linking it.
- graphicStyle.redefine leaves the art's look as it was and unlinks it,
as an edited object is, whether the art is a linked object (as in a
document saved before this change) or the source.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, the params text of graphicStyle.new and
graphicStyle.redefine.
A graph keeps paints for its series and labels, and character and
paragraph style names for its labels, which each redraw gives the
marks and labels. Copy did not follow them, so a graph pasted into
another document left those swatches and styles behind, and a paste
that renamed them left the graph pointing at the old names.
Copy now collects them and paste relinks them, as it does for type.
Paste without Formatting drops the labels' style names, so it still
leaves text styles behind.
A raster effect (Drop Shadow, Outer Glow, Gaussian Blur and the other
effects that paint pixels) on a symbol instance's topmost fill now draws
on each filled shape of the symbol's art, and one on its topmost stroke
draws on each stroked shape, after any geometry effects listed before
it. The same rules as for geometry effects apply: only a visible fill or
stroke with an opacity above 0 counts, a group's own fills and strokes
in the art take the effect, and an instance inside the art passes it on.
The canvas, Use Preview Bounds and the drawn bounds, SVG and PDF export
draw it, and Object > Expand Appearance is enabled for such an instance:
a shadow or glow becomes an image under the instance, and a blur,
feather or inner glow replaces it with the image, in one undo step.
Existing documents with a raster effect on a symbol instance's fill or
stroke draw differently: before, the effect drew nothing.
Character panel > Tsume, shown with Show East Asian Options, takes away a
percentage of the blank space on each side of a character's ink, inside
its own width, in horizontal type. The value is from 0 to 100, 0 by
default. 50 halves that space and 100 sets the ink against the
characters before and after it; the glyph keeps its shape. A character
without ink, such as a space, keeps its width, and a ligature or a
letter with its marks takes the value of its first character. The
font's pair kerning, tracking, manual kerning and Insert Aki are added
after it, and justification keeps it. Vertical type keeps its spacing.
- text.setFormat and text.setRangeStyle take `tsume`; a value that is
not a number or is outside 0 to 100 is refused, naming the key.
Character styles carry it, and a file holding a value outside the
range opens with the nearer end.
- The Character panel's Tsume field has 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 in its
menu, and Reset Panel sets it to 0. Character Style Options shows it
in Advanced Character Formats.
- Live SVG text places each character Tsume moves, and type on a path
with Tsume is written as outlines.

document.exportSelection run with no params or {} (a shortcut, or an
automation call) wrote the picked file straight away with each format's
defaults: a PDF used the default preset, so Save PDF's options, such as
writing long pages in points, could not be chosen. It now takes Export
As's route after the save panel: Save PDF without its Artboards
section, SVG Options without its artboards, the raster options, EPS
Options, DXF Options, Text Export Options with Selection Only on, or an
exporter plug-in's parameters. OK writes the selection alone, cropped
to it, with the chosen options. While a dialog is open the call returns
null, and OK returns what file.exportAs returns, without format or
bounds.
With a path or any option it still writes straight away.
- file.exportAs takes exportSelection: true and then writes the
document that document.exportSelection writes
(fileio::selection_doc), without artboard choices. The options
dialogs and the replace-file questions pass it on.
- Nothing selected stops before the save panel.
- SVG Options opened by Export Selection leaves the remembered Use
Artboards as it was.
- Exports through file.exportAs (Export As and the options dialogs)
apply Appearance of Black's rich black, as document.export does.

A gradient stop that loses its link to a spot swatch kept the process
plates it printed with that ink, so it carried a DeviceN mix with no
ink. Paint::map_links, which deleting a swatch, recoloring and color
adjustments go through, now clears a stop's plates whenever it leaves
the stop without a link, as GradientStop::set_color(color, None)
already does. Library gradients and library character styles linked
to a swatch the document lacks unlink their stops the same way.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
With Smart Guides on, the Dimension tool's second point snapped onto the
construction guides through the first point (Smart Guides › Construction
Guides), so a click beside a segment straight below a first point that
was not on an anchor stayed on the vertical guide instead of landing on
the segment.
The second point now has no construction guides through a first point
that is not on an anchor. After a first point picked on an anchor, the
construction guides through it still apply. The second point still snaps
to anchors, centers and alignment lines, and with Snap to Perpendicular
or Snap to Tangent on it lands where the line from the first point meets
a segment square or grazes a curve.
Docs: docs/dimensions.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The preset paragraphs say that the enhanced versions use the same Paths,
Corners and Noise, and that Corners 50 applies to the other eight
presets. The quality notes add the staircase and anchor rises in Line
Art, Outline, 3 Colors, Sketched Art and Silhouettes, and say which
figures were measured at the earlier values. The anchor-limit comments
name the same settings in both places.
path.setHandle checked for a no-op by running the handle edit on a copy
and comparing the whole anchor. On a smooth anchor the edit recomputes
the other handle, so when that handle was not exactly in line, or the
recomputed value rounded differently, a request for the handle's own
point realigned the other handle and recorded an undo step.
The check now compares the requested point with the handle itself, and
still lets independent turn a smooth anchor into a corner.
With apply "opacity", Sort Objects compared each object's opacity with the
value it gets as a percentage, within 1e-6. An evenly stepped value can
differ from a mark's percentage by more than that while it rounds to the
same stored opacity: marks at 30%, 65% and 100% sorted by x with
distribute on keep their opacities, yet the 65% mark counted as changed.
The sort then made an undo step and replaced the opacity the graph stores
for the series (30%) with 65%.
The sort now compares each object's stored opacity with the opacity it is
given, as stored, both to skip a run that changes nothing and to pick the
marks whose opacity the graph keeps.
After Select All in a frame of threaded text, Convert to Text skipped
the story's locked and hidden frames, even when `ids` named them, and
left a paragraph whose text started in one as a list. Remove Line
Breaks and Remove Paragraph Breaks also kept the breaks in those frames.
A selected story is one text, as it already is for Apply Bullets and
Apply Numbers and the Character and Paragraph panels, so both commands
now change every frame of the story, as one undo step.
- text.convertListToText converts every list paragraph of the story,
locked and hidden frames included; `ids` naming a locked or hidden
frame converts its paragraphs too. A call that changes nothing adds
no undo step.
- addon.cleanup.removeBreaks removes the breaks in every frame of the
selected story.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The script module docs, the script.run params text and the evidence line now
say that $.fileName in code that eval or Function compiled gives the file
being run, and the params text says that the empty name applies to code
compiled from a script given as text.
Two windows or processes using one Plug-ins folder could interleave their
writes: an install from one could leave its module with the other's grant,
a grant written for one plug-in could drop one written for another, and
plug-in settings and cache changes could lose each other's keys or pass the
cache caps together.
Each change to the folder now runs in one turn on disabled.lock, the file
the disabled list was already locked with:
- plugin.install takes the turn before it reads the stored grants and holds
it through the module, grant, put-back and disabled-list writes;
plugin.remove holds it through grant removal and storage deletion.
- Grant writes, the disabled list, loading the folder, and the plug-ins'
settings and cache changes read and write in a turn.
- When disabled.lock can't be locked, plugin.install and plugin.remove fail
and change nothing, plugin.setEnabled keeps its change in the process, and
loading the folder writes nothing to it.
Docs: docs/plugins.md, docs/mcp.md, the plugin.install and plugin.remove
params text, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Reverse Path Direction reversed the anchors but left the stroke's width
profile, pressure, tilt, bearing and rotation running the old way, so a
tapered or pressure-drawn stroke changed shape. They now turn with the
path through the blend code's stroke reorientation (the width profile's
sides swap), and the stroke draws as before. A path whose subpaths do
not all turn alike keeps its stroke as it was, as blends do. Arrowheads
stay at the path's start and end.
Linked images and placed documents in the art of the stored brushes (a
scatter or art brush's art, a pattern brush's tiles) are listed in the
Links panel after the other stored art, one row per linked or placed
object in each brush tile, with the brush as owner
(`{kind: brush, name, index, tile?}`). Check Links, the missing and
modified files reported on open, the link watch, Find in Folder, Relink
(including Relink All Instances), Update, Embed, Placement Options, Link
Info and Go To act on them, and their tooltip names the brush.
- vectorcraft-doc: `Document::mounted_art` holds art kept outside the
document's trees while a command looks it up by id; the stored-art
lookups, link visitors and `art_roots` include it, and
`number_mounted_art` gives its objects ids of their own.
- vectorcraft-brush: `stored_art::StoredArt` mounts the art of the
brushes that hold images or placed documents and writes back only the
entries whose art changed. Entries that do not read as a brush are left
as stored. `brush::store` keeps ids of their own in that art, so a row
keeps its id between commands.
- vectorcraft-engine: the links commands, opening a document, saving a
placed document's source, output of linked files and placed documents,
color masks after Update or Relink, and Package relinking go through
the mounted art.
Brush art rows follow the general Links rule as VectorCraft's own
application of it.
action.batch drops Open steps before it plays each file or data set, and
returned the per-file error of command.batch unchanged, so `batch step N`
counted from 0 within the filtered steps. A failed step is now named
``action step N (`id`) failed: reason``, N being its place in the
`commands` the caller sent, from 1, with skipped Open steps counted.
The batch's own open, data set choice and destination steps keep their
unnumbered errors, and command.batch messages are unchanged.
A prefs.import step, which command.batch refuses when it reaches that
step, rolling the batch back, is now refused before any file opens
instead of failing each file or data set the batch plays.
Docs: action.batch params text, docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Near an anchor whose handle does not reach out, the curve starts more slowly than its control polygon, so the finely cut stretch could end before twice the reach and the turn there was measured along a long chord. The stretches past it are now cut as finely until the pieces reach three times the reach. docs/mcp.md says the one-eighth cap applies to a closed path the drag reaches all the way round.
When links.update or links.relink re-read a DCS file and Placement
Options also clipped the image (Fill with Clip, or an aspect change
that overflows), the placement rectangle replaced the file's clipping
path, so plate art outside that path showed and printed.
The file's clip group now stays around the image and the placement's
clip goes in a clip group around it. The clip group holding just the
file's group takes that clip, as one holding just an image does today,
else a new one does, so later updates reuse the same two groups. A
file that loses its clipping path leaves its group as a plain group
inside the placement's clip. The same applies in symbols, graph
designs, patterns and opacity masks.
Merge copied a face's or edge's appearance to the part it rebuilds in its
place, but not its visibility, opacity or blending mode. A half-transparent
face drawn by its stroke became opaque, and a hidden edge was shown again.
Since #7294, object.setLiveShape refuses a negative `radius` and a
`sides` that is not a whole number from 3 to 1000. Session::replay
applied the same checks, so a journal entry or action step recorded
before that change with such a value stopped with a parameter error.
On replay, a negative radius now counts as 0, which is how it drew
before. A whole side count below 3 or above 1000 is brought into that
range, and a fractional or negative one is ignored. Direct calls still
refuse these values.
A paint write that leaves a series mark's gradient as the graph drew it
now keeps the series' stored gradient and its unit-box flag in two more
cases:
- a mark with no width or no height, such as a column for a value of 0,
where the stored gradient was replaced by the mark's gradient in
document coordinates and no mark took it on the next redraw;
- a gradient kept in document coordinates (a file saved before the unit
box), which a stroke weight written as it was moved to the unit box,
so the next redraw placed it on each mark's own box.
The ranges in the addon.shapes params text are in parentheses, so each
description reads as a params object. The configure description and
docs/mcp.md say that an omitted or null value keeps each shape's setting;
the defaults apply to the drawing commands only.
