In a full parallel `cargo test -p vectorcraft-ui-egui` run, other tests
add and remove composite fonts in the process-wide font database and
remove plug-ins from the plug-in registry. Two tests failed when that
happened between their reads, and passed when run alone.
- `font_menu::tests::the_scroll_bar_leaves_the_stars_clear` starred
`FontDb::global().families()`, but the menu lists the composite fonts
first, so the top rows had no star. The test now turns on the starred
filter and counts the rows it listed.
- `tests::nativemenu::the_menu_bar_is_inert_while_a_file_dialog_is_open`
required every menu row from before the dialog to be back afterwards.
A row may now be missing only when the composite font or plug-in it
names is gone from the database or the registry.
- Four font menu tests took the first families from
`menu_family_list()`, which can be a composite font that is removed
before the frames run. They take them from the families that stay
listed. The variable-filter test checks that every family listed
before the click is listed again, instead of comparing two frames.
An image's own fill or stroke with Outline Object now follows the outline of
the image's pixels that are at least 50% opaque, traced from the alpha and
fitted with curves, instead of the image's frame. An image without
transparency, one whose pixels can't be read, one of more than 64 megapixels
or whose decoded pixels take more than 256 MB, and one whose outline would
need more than 100,000 anchor points keep the frame. An image with no pixel
at least half opaque gives nothing to paint. Images of more than 4 megapixels
are traced from their alpha averaged down to 4 megapixels, and an averaged
pixel that covers a pixel at least half opaque stays at least half opaque, so
thin opaque lines stay in the outline. Each outline is traced once for its
pixels, kept for the next redraw while those pixels are loaded, and dropped
after them; a second thread that needs the same outline waits for the trace.
- vectorcraft-trace: `decode_alpha` reads an image's alpha, and
`opaque_outline` traces it as Black and White mode at threshold 128.
- vectorcraft-effects: the reshaped image art uses it for rows whose first
effect is Outline Object; Convert to Shape rows keep the frame.
- Docs: docs/mcp.md, the Outline Object params text and an evidence line in
docs/target-app-parity.md. docs/mcp.md also says that Use Preview Bounds
takes in the shapes an image's fills and strokes paint.
Opening or placing an image whose orientation turns it a quarter
(EXIF or TIFF Orientation 5 to 8) stored the pixels turned but kept
the resolution as stored, so a photo at 300 x 150 ppi came in at the
wrong width and height. XResolution counts pixels in the ImageWidth
direction of the stored image (TIFF 6.0,
https://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/com16/tiff-fx/docs/tiff6.pdf; EXIF
uses the same tag, CIPA DC-008-2012,
https://www.cipa.jp/std/documents/e/DC-008-2012_E.pdf), so a quarter
turn now swaps the axes, in the size Open and Place use and in the
stored image, with jxlread::oriented_resolution as JPEG XL does.
Three kinds of TIFF did not follow their Orientation tag:
- grayscale TIFFs with extra samples and 1-bit CCITT Group 3 TIFFs
were not turned;
- a CMYK TIFF with its inks together was turned but stored as RGB,
losing its inks, and one with a plane per ink did not open
("Planar TIFF with CMYK color type is not supported").
They now turn as the other images do, and a CMYK TIFF keeps its inks,
8 bits each, written again with the turned resolution.
In the text document of a .ai's editing copy, a character's fill (key
53) or stroke (key 54) is a paint with a colour under key 0 and, under
key 5, the name of an art style of the editing data. For a pattern
swatch, key 0 is black and the pattern is only in that style: a style
of one paint (/SimpleStyle) that paints with `(name) ... [matrix] p`.
The reader took key 0 alone, so type painted with a pattern came in
black.
The art style reader now keeps the pattern of a style that is one
paint, and the import places it as a path's pattern fill would be (its
matrix in art space; the files' own pages tile such type with it), by
the style's name. A run whose fill or stroke is on and names such a
style takes the pattern, in the type's text space, so its tiles stay
where the document has them. A pattern the file doesn't define or can't
place, a key 5 that isn't a string, and a style of any other paint keep
the colour as before.
A style that also has filters gives no pattern for type, and a pattern that
can't be placed in the type's text space keeps the colour. A .ai saved
again writes such type as outlines with a warning, as it already does for
any type with pattern paint (#5965).

A selected image offers Remove Background in the Contextual Task Bar, Properties'
Quick Actions and the Control bar, as the reference app does. A click runs it at
once with its defaults, as one undo step; Object > Plug-ins > Image Tools keeps
the dialog with Preview.
- Weed Box and Lines counts the outline points a nested clip group hides when
it tests pieces for being inside a region, and counts the work of every clip
group in the selection together, so a selection cannot run far past the
limit.
- Stencil Bridges refuses art when its measuring budget runs out only while an
island is still unjoined, and a refusal for size or detail says so.
Exporting the window for the portal waits for the compositor to answer. The
sampler now does it on its worker thread, as the portal's save dialog does,
so a slow compositor does not hold up the UI.
Pinning a closed replaced spine opens it with a copy of its first point
at its end, so a two-point ring became three points and Delete Spine
Point could leave a spine of two points in one place. The two-point
check now counts the points left that are apart.
With one Objects on Path group selected, the Selection and Objects on Path
tools show a ring on each object's attachment point. A click chooses that
object while the group stays selected; dragging a ring along the path moves
its object to the nearest object's place, and the objects between move one
place toward where it was, in one undo step. Hidden and locked objects have
no ring and keep their places. On a closed path the drag goes on round
across the first anchor, and Escape cancels it.
- object.objectsOnPath.selectMember {member} chooses an object.
- object.objectsOnPath.moveMember {member, target, group?} moves an object
to another object's place; only the order along the path changes.

Restore and discard hold each crashed app's area until they finish. When
a later area's copies were kept by an entry in an area already held, the
check took a second lock on that area, found it taken, and counted the
area as running, so its copies were listed but neither restored nor
discarded. Areas the command already holds now count as gone in that
check.
