When a recovery copy could not be written, the status bar said only
"Couldn't save recovery data: <error>", and a copy that failed on the
background worker showed as "Saving recovery data for <title> failed:
<error>". Neither said which folder was in use or how to pick another.
The message keeps the error text (and the document's title when one
copy fails), then names the folder copies go to, says whether it is
the default recovery folder or the folder set in Preferences, and
names the setting that picks another folder: Preferences → File
Handling → Data Recovery → Folder (recoveryFolder). The recovery code
writes the same line to the log. The folder is the one in use when the
round started, so a preference changed while a copy runs does not
change the folder the message names.
A copy that fails now reports its own message, so the job's result is
Ok rather than an error, and the job no longer adds "<label> failed:
<error>" over it. A store the host installed (browser storage) has no
folder to name: its failed copy shows "Saving recovery data for
<title> failed: <error>", as a copy on the worker did before, also
when the copy was written without the worker.
- engine: recovery::folder returns the folder in use and whether the
recoveryFolder preference names it; recovery::store uses it.
- Four @msg rows in each complete-message catalog, and in the bg, bs,
da and id catalogs, which translate the old message.
- Control replies to a client confined to read roots show a recovery
folder outside them, and the paths under it, by the folder's name, as
they already show other paths outside the roots. That covers the
folder in use and the last eight folders a failure message named.
- docs/target-app-parity.md: a line next to the Data Recovery Folder
preference.
object.setLiveShape was in params::UNCHECKED, so a key it does not read,
such as `path`, ran the command with the key ignored. Its description
names every key it reads, so it now goes through check_keys like other
commands, for MCP, scripts and command.batch steps. Each of `items` takes
`id` and `corners` alone; another key is refused as
`items[0].corner`, with the nearest accepted key. Saved steps still
replay leniently.
A `sides` that is not a whole number from 3 to 1000 (2.5, -1, 2, 1001)
and a negative `radius` are now errors naming the key, and leave the
document and its undo history as they were; a radius of 0 still
removes rounding. The Transform panel's Sides field takes 3 to 1000,
the Corners dialog's radius field stops at 0, and the panels' corner
radius fields send 0 for a negative value typed in.
Offset Path took each selected path in turn, so offsetting many paths, or a
group of many paths, used one CPU. It now reads the selected paths first,
works out their offsets on as many threads as the computer has logical CPUs
(one thread on the web and for a single path), and then makes the new
objects one after another in the selection's order on the editing thread.
The new objects, their ids, their stacking, the selection, the messages and
the undo step are the same as before. When several paths fail, the error is
the one for the first of them in the selection's order, and the paths after
a failure that have not started yet are skipped.
In a PDF without a standard, the warning for a page longer than 14,400 pt
written with a UserUnit above 1 now ends with "turn on Write pages longer
than 200 in at full size in points". The warning already said that apps
ignoring UserUnit show such a page smaller; it now names the Save PDF
option that writes the page at its size in points instead. PDF/A files,
which keep the UserUnit with the option on, and .ai saves, whose options
do not have it, keep the warning as it was.
The longer message has a row in every complete-message catalog. The
params text of document.exportPdf, docs/mcp.md and the evidence line in
docs/target-app-parity.md describe it.
object.distort warped the anchors of paths, groups, compound paths and
clip groups but left their bounding-box angle as it was, so a rotated
path kept its old box after a warp and an upright one stayed square to
the page however far the warp tilted it. Text, images and symbol
instances already took the angle of the warp's affine approximation.
- Each path, group, compound path and clip group now takes the angle
the warp turns its x axis to at its own center before the warp, the
members of a warped group and the art of a linked opacity mask each
at their own. An unlinked mask's art keeps its angle. Mirroring keeps
the nearer angle and a collapsing warp keeps the old one. Reset
Bounding Box squares the boxes again.
- Each subtree's bounds are measured once while it is warped.
- Corners that equal the corners of the box being warped change
nothing and add no undo step.

A Smooth drag along the middle of a curved segment smoothed nothing when
neither of the segment's anchors was within the reach, and paths of two
anchors were never smoothed.
- path.smoothRegion searches each curved segment where it can come
within the reach, halving it down to pieces no longer than half the
reach, and adds an anchor in the middle of each stretch in reach; the
existing reach split then cuts the segment where the drag enters and
leaves the reach. A drag that only grazes a curve finds the place on
it nearest the drag. The search is bounded per drag and shared
equally by the segments in reach.
- Paths of two anchors are smoothed, open or closed.
- Alt with the Paintbrush smooths a selected two-anchor curve; a
two-anchor straight line still gets the closed stroke. Both sides use
one segment_is_straight test.
Part of #2224
In SVG and PDF output, each piece of a warped image whose pieces can show
through was drawn through a mask of every later piece that reaches it. On a
later piece's antialiased edge the viewer multiplies the earlier piece's
coverage by the mask and draws the later piece over it, so an image with
both opaque and partly transparent pixels came out lighter at its opaque
pixels along the triangles' edges (alpha 184 of 255 in the new SVG test).
A later piece now goes into an earlier piece's mask only when a pixel of
either piece's image within 2 pixels of their overlap is less than opaque
(vectorcraft_effects::WarpSeams). Where two pieces overlap over opaque
pixels, the later one is drawn over the earlier one without a mask.
Type with an inline graphic was resolved only in the layers, so type in
the art of another symbol, a graph design, a pattern tile or an opacity
mask kept the size its graphic had when it was made. The symbol holding
that type, its instances and the inline graphics that show it were
measured from the stale layout.
- Inline graphics are resolved in every tree that holds type. Symbols
are resolved in dependency order, so a symbol's type is laid out
before the type that shows that symbol inline. Edits, opening,
reverting and Refresh Font List use the same pass.
- The pass visits each object once: it resolves the children first and
copies a node only when something below it changed. It measures each
symbol's art once per pass.
- An inline graphic of a symbol whose art shows that symbol inline,
directly or through other symbols, is an empty slot. The symbols on
such a cycle are found once and cached until the symbols change.
- A changed inline graphic also clears the text's cached baselines.
Edit > Edit Colors > Convert to Indexed Color... (edit.colors.toIndexed)
stores the embedded images in the selection as indexed-color PNGs: a
palette of at most 256 RGB colors, each pixel the index of one. The
dialog previews live and OK is one undo step.
- The palette is chosen as for a PNG-8 export (selective, perceptual,
adaptive, web, gray, black and white), as evenly spaced levels of red,
green and blue (uniform), or from the document's swatches. Dithering
is diffusion, pattern, noise or none, with an amount.
- Pixels under half opacity become one transparent entry; the others
become opaque in their own color. Linked images, colorized images and
color glyph images keep their pixels.
- An image that is already an indexed PNG and would show the same pixels
is left as it is, and no undo step is recorded when no image changes.
- An image of more than 134,217,728 pixels (33,554,432 in the web app)
is refused, read from its header before decoding.
- With Select All, locked and hidden objects that hold an image that is
not an indexed PNG yet are counted in notChanged, without converting
them.
- The quantizer gains quantize_to, which maps pixels to a given palette.

file.newProfiles.edit and file.newProfiles.reset returned the automation
access check and file system errors with the profile file's whole path,
so a client confined to read roots that leave out the preferences folder
learned where the folder is. The errors now go through naming_in_error,
like other paths the client did not give: whole inside the read roots,
otherwise by file name. docs/mcp.md and the params text say so.
A document or brush library file could hold two brushes of one name.
Renaming the first in Brush Options moved every stroke of that name and
left the second brush unreachable, deleting by name removed both, and
the Brushes panel could not select the second row.
Reading a stored brush library now keeps the first brush of a name as
stored and numbers each later one with the first "Name 2", "Name 3" and
so on that the file does not already have. Strokes name their brush,
and a name always found the first brush, so every stroke keeps drawing
the brush it drew before. The rule applies to opened documents and to
brush library files; brushes added to a document that already has the
name keep today's numbering.

An envelope around type of only spaces and a rectangle mapped from the
union of the rectangle and the type's laid-out box, so the empty type
moved and scaled how the rectangle was distorted. Type that draws
nothing now adds no box while other content in the envelope has one,
in groups and layers and as a clipping path too. When nothing else in
the envelope has a box, the type keeps its laid-out box, so an envelope
of only empty type keeps its frame, Make with Mesh and Reset with Mesh
still work, and Release still gives back the warp shape.
This applies to Make with Warp, Make with Mesh, Make with Top Object,
Reset with Mesh, Edit Contents and the stroke margins. Type that has
not been measured yet keeps its laid-out box as before.
The PDF/.ai import's boxes for envelopes with Distort Appearance
measure each object as the whole contents measure it, so the margins
the import tries match the contents' geometric box. The three import
tests that measure type without registering the glyph measure now
register it first, so another test registering it while they run no
longer changes their result.
vectorcraft_testkit::temp_dir returns a bare path, so every engine test
that wrote into one left the folder in the system temporary folder.
- testkit: TempDir, a test's own folder made through temp_dir (same
private creation and ownership checks) under a tag no other TempDir in
the process uses, removed with its contents when dropped, also when
the test panics.
- Engine unit and integration tests hold a TempDir for the whole test
instead of calling temp_dir: graph, fileio, compare, journal, library,
shortcut set, spelling, store, web export, cancel, containers, build,
color settings, command sweep, font folder, removed font, model-based
and the font search fuzz.
- The DCS and swatch library tests' own helpers and the PDF editing
tests' shared vc-pdfedit-<pid> folder use a TempDir per test too.
- The font and link file search, store, color settings and font folder
helpers no longer delete the private folder temp_dir checked and make
it again with default permissions.
With automation read roots in force, svgInteractivity.info and the files
reply of addFile and removeFile returned every linked JavaScript file as
stored, including paths outside the roots. They now name such a file by
its file name alone, as document.json does; a file inside the roots and
a URL are named as they are, and the document keeps every path.
removeFile also unlinks a file outside the roots by that file name. When
the name fits more than one linked file, it returns an error that names
no stored path and unlinks nothing. addFile still treats only the same
text as already linked.
In a frame a request drives, the JavaScript Files dialog lists such a
file by its file name while its selection keeps the file as linked, and
ui.inspect gives the selected file the same way. The person's frames
show full paths.
The widget's Constrain button was grayed out in Free Distort, and
neither it nor Shift changed a Free Distort corner drag. Constrain is
now available in Free Transform and Free Distort, and stays unavailable
in Perspective Distort.
With Constrain on, or Shift held, a corner dragged in Free Distort
moves only along the line through the opposite corner, in the box's
own proportions, and the other three corners stay in place. On a
turned box the line runs through the box's own corners. A box with no
size leaves the corner where it is. Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Shift on a corner
still drags in Perspective Distort. The measurement label shows how
far the corner moved.
A Transform effect whose result would pass the geometry budget (2 million
anchors or 8 million lines drawn) is left out and the art stays where it
was, but the raster effects listed before it still scaled and moved with
it: before a Transform effect that scales the art 1000 times, a Drop
Shadow's offset grew 1000 times and its blur went to the 1000 pt limit
around art that had not moved, and Expand kept those values.
The geometry pass now notes each Transform effect that moves the art once
and that it leaves out, in the Carry it already returns, and
Carry::hide_skipped hides those effects in the list the raster effects
are read from. The canvas (a path's own effects and its fills' and
strokes'), its bounds, bake (SVG and PDF export), shape art, Expand,
Expand Appearance and Outline Stroke use it, and a fill's Transform
effect inside a piece no longer scales the effects before it when the
budget leaves it out. The budget itself is unchanged.
A path drawn as its own art inside a group whose geometry effects run
after its members' own read its object effects whole. The reshaping pass
now notes a Transform effect that no path in the art took past the
budget, and the member's art hides it before its raster effects are read.
The bounds skip the extra geometry pass when no raster effect could
follow a Transform effect, and painted_reach runs it once for both
measurements.
