A recorded PDF, EPS, DXF, Save for Web or Save for Office Documents step
that gives a `path` writes the same file for every data set, because the
batch does not point these steps into the destination folder. The one-file
rule now counts them, so the dialog and `action.batch` warn.
Save and Close over the data sets of a document converted from an older
version or restored by Data Recovery is refused with "save the document
with Save As before Save and Close" before a data set is selected. Saving
such a document does not write its file, so the batch reported success
without saving anything. The message has a row in each of the 26 catalogs.
Batch… with a Data Sets source offers None, Save and Close and Folder again.
Save and Close saves the open document over its own file after each data
set. When every data set saves over the same file, the dialog shows a
warning and `action.batch` returns `warning`: with Save and Close, or with
a recorded step that writes a file and that the batch does not point into
the destination folder. A Save step without a path counts when it writes
the document's own file; Save As, Save a Copy, Save as Template and Export
steps count when they give a path; Export for Screens counts when its
folder, given or from its preset, names a folder. Save and Close over the
data sets of a document that was never saved is refused with "the
document has never been saved" before a data set is selected.
Data sets share one open document, so Save and Close saved every data set
over the same file and only the last one survived. action.batch now
returns an error for source datasets with destination saveAndClose before
it selects a data set or runs a step, and the Batch dialog offers None and
Folder for a Data Sets source, moving a Save and Close choice to Folder.
wasmi pauses a run before an instruction the store's fuel can't pay for
and charges nothing for it. A memory.fill or memory.copy is charged for
its whole length, so a pause can leave up to that cost in the store.
Plugin::call replaced the store's fuel with the next slice and compared
the instruction's cost with the rest of the budget alone, so a run whose
budget covered its work could end with Limit("instruction budget").
Each pause now tops the store up to the slice size, keeping what it
held, and ends the run only when the store's fuel and the rest of the
budget together can't pay for the next instruction.
A Scatter brush in a .ai or EPS file's editing data always came into
the Brushes panel keeping its art's colors. A Scatter brush whose last
15 numbers start with 1 now opens in Tints, and one whose numbers start
with 0 keeps its art's colors. Other values are not read and keep the
art's colors. The field before the art's name does not decide it: an
object whose first field is 1 is read by its 15 numbers, and a Scatter
object with 8 numbers is still left out.
A brush's art usually comes in a group after its frame, an unpainted
rectangle around the art. The reader kept that rectangle as part of
the brush's art. It now leaves out a frame at the art's bounds (within
1/1000 pt): an unnamed, unpainted rectangle with its four corners in
order, closed, or open with its first corner again at the end, and no
settings of its own (shown, unlocked, at full opacity in Normal, with
no effects, note or other attributes). A wider frame stays in the art,
and so do a path that crosses the corners, an open path along three
sides and a rectangle with settings of its own. A group left with one
object becomes that object, unless it has a state or look of its own
(hidden, locked, isolated, knockout, an opacity, a blend mode, a name,
a mask, a note or another setting, or an appearance); then it stays a
group without the frame. The rule applies to every brush art section.
Existing files with such brushes now open with Tints and without the
extra frame path in the brush's art. With an exact frame, the pieces
that a Scatter or Art brush draws along a path stay where they were.
The Scatter, Art and Pattern brush colorization options, Tints among
them, are described on pages 281-282 of
https://web.archive.org/web/20210601162814/https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/illustrator_reference.pdf#page=281
Tests cover Scatter brushes whose numbers start with 1 and 0, with a
first field of 1 and 2, and an 8-number object. They cover frames kept
or left out (exact, wider, open, filled, named, crossing the corners,
along three sides, with a note, Show Center or hidden), a group's own
state and note kept, and the pieces a Scatter and an Art brush draw
along a path with and without the frame. The import fuzz test reads
brush art after frames of any corners and paint.
A grants.json entry this version can't use (a permission it doesn't know,
an invalid id) is now skipped on its own instead of dropping every grant in
the file, and recording or removing a grant writes it back unchanged,
except an entry for that plug-in. A grants.json that is too large, can't be
read or is not a JSON list is left as it is, and a rewrite that would pass
the 1 MiB read limit is written compactly, or not at all.
The fuzz test for hostile host import arguments drew vc_log's level from every i32, so almost
every call stopped at the level check and never read memory. Levels are now also drawn from -1
to 4. The module docs, a test doc comment and docs/plugins.md now say that with an unknown total
each change of done is passed on.
A plug-in whose manifest gives "api": 2 and lists the new `progress`
permission may import three host functions from module `env`:
vc_progress(done, total), vc_cancelled() -> i32 and
vc_log(level, ptr, len) -> i32. Installing checks every import and
refuses, by name, one the host doesn't offer, one with another type and
one the manifest doesn't allow.
- Progress is clamped and passed on once per tenth of a percent (past
2,000 reports, once per 1,000 changes). A heavy filter's progress
window and the export's progress window show it as a percentage bar,
and their Cancel makes vc_cancelled return 1. A live effect's progress
is not shown.
- A run cancelled before it returns ends as cancelled, and one that
returns after its time budget ran out ends at that budget, so what a
plug-in returns after it sees vc_cancelled changes nothing. This also
applies to a plug-in of API level 1 that finishes after a Cancel or
past its time budget.
- Log text must lie in the module's memory and be UTF-8. Lines go to the
app's log as "<id>: <text>" with hidden characters escaped, at most
1,024 characters a line, 200 lines and 32 KiB a run, and the host reads
at most 1 MiB of log text a run.
- plugin.list and plugin.info give the manifest's `api`; the install
prompt names the new permission in plain words.
Docs: docs/plugins.md, docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
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`.
The Links panel's Relink... button and menu item open a Relink dialog
(ui.relinkDialog) with a Replace menu. Selected Instances relinks the
selected images and placed documents, as Relink did before. All
Instances also relinks every other object in the layers linked to the
same file. Missing Links from This Folder relinks the selection to the
chosen file, then every other missing link to the file of its name in
that file's folder, and the status bar names the files not there. Each
Link Separately asks for a file for each selected link in turn, one OK
each, and relinks them all at the last one: the dialog has one row per
linked file, and each selected embedded image gets a row of its own.
Every choice is one undo step.
links.relink takes scope: selected (default), all, missingInFolder
(with path) or each (with paths: [{ids, path}] in place of ids, path
and folder). A scope or paths that doesn't fit is an error and relinks
nothing. With copy, every file is read and checked before any is
copied, copies made before a failed copy are removed, and
missingInFolder looks for missing images only.

Add Used Colors, New Color Group from artwork and Select All Unused
looked up each linked paint's swatch by searching every swatch. They now
build one map of swatch names first, with the built-in Registration
swatch, and the first swatch of each name as before.
New tests and test cases: New Color Group from artwork with repeated,
near-equal and -0.0 colors, a Registration link and names that need
numbering, and New Swatch and Edit Color Group with near-equal and
-0.0 colors; each checks the names, their order and one undo step.
New Swatch with several colors, New Color Group and Edit Color Group's
extra colors searched every swatch and group for each candidate name
of each new swatch. They now build the set of taken names once
(FreeSwatchNames, with take_new for New Swatch's default names and
insert for the group name and the group's own swatches) and keep it up
to date as they add swatches. The names they give are unchanged.
swatch.addUsedColors and swatch.unused searched lists inside loops over
colors and swatches, checking each color against every color or swatch
before it. They now keep the same ordered lists and use hash sets and
maps for membership and lookup. A color's key is its model and the bits
of its components with -0.0 read as 0.0, so the key agrees with `==`; a
color with a NaN component matches nothing, as before.
Add Used Colors names its new swatches through
Document::free_swatch_names, which collects the taken swatch and color
group names once and gives the same names free_swatch_name gives when the
swatches are added one at a time. The added swatches, their names, order
and links, the undo step, and the swatches Select All Unused lists are
unchanged.
A manifest may list `permissions` (doc.read, doc.write, state,
effect.render, export.write) and an `api` level. doc.read, doc.write
and state follow the capability model proposed in
storytold/photocraft#662; the other names are VectorCraft's own. An
unknown, reserved, duplicate or wrong-kind name is refused by name. A
manifest without the key gets the permissions its kind implies and
installs as before.
- Install Plug-in... and File > Open show the name, id, version, file
SHA-256 and each permission in plain words, with control and
bidirectional characters escaped and each string cut to 64
characters. OK installs the module only if it still has the SHA-256
shown; Cancel installs nothing. The heavy-budget prompt and the
status line show the escaped name too, and OK keeps the `replace` it
was given.
- `plugin.install` needs `grant` listing every permission, and
`plugin.inspect` reports `needsApproval`. `hash` pins the module:
one with another SHA-256 is refused. The grant is kept with the
module's hash in the store's `grants.json`, and only that store's
grants count while it is attached; the same set does not ask again,
more permissions do, and `plugin.remove` forgets it.
- The Additional Plug-ins Folder and `plugin.reload` install only
plug-ins the attached store has granted and report the others as
needing approval. At startup the store skips an ungranted plug-in.
- A filter run without doc.read is given no objects; without state it
neither reads nor writes `documentData`; without doc.write an output
that changes the document is refused and the document is unchanged.

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.
Holding a single-key tool shortcut becomes temporary: releasing it
returns to the previous tool (a quick tap still switches for good).
With the Pen chosen, holding S chooses Scale; letting go of S after
0.25 s or more, or after Scale was used while S was down, chooses the
Pen again. A press shorter than 0.25 s, with nothing done in between,
keeps Scale chosen as before. The 0.25 s threshold is VectorCraft's own
value. A Cmd/Ctrl click, which the selection tool takes, does not count
as using Scale. A drag of the Hand, Zoom or Rotate View tool chosen
this way counts as using it.
A key let go during a drag, with the pointer button held or with a
dialog open, goes back once that ends. A key let go while the tool
waits for its next click (the Dimension tool after its first point)
goes back once the tool finishes or is canceled. With S held from the
Pen and then V held, letting go of V returns to Scale, and letting go
of S then returns to the Pen. Choosing a tool on the toolbar or from a
menu while the key is down, the held tool included, ends the hold and
keeps that tool, and so does the window losing the keyboard.
While the preference is on, the key's repeats do not choose the tool
again.
The new General preference Hold a Tool Shortcut to Use the Tool
Temporarily (`holdToolKeys`, on by default) turns the behavior off.
With it off, every press and every repeat chooses the tool, as before.
Its label has a row in every catalog.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Commands that read `id` and otherwise act on the selection, the highlighted
layer row or a new object read it with a lenient helper, so `{"id": "abc"}`,
`true` or `{}` acted on the selection instead. They now read it with
`object_param`, which refuses any value that is not a non-negative integer
with "`id` must be a whole number" under the command's name and changes
nothing; an omitted or null `id` keeps the default.
Commands: object.isolate, layer.locate, layer.releaseToLayers,
graphicStyle.new and redefine, charStyle and paraStyle new, apply and
redefine, image.info, links.info, links.goTo, links.unembed, shaper.release,
shaper.expand (whose errors now carry their own name),
transparency.editOpacityMask, transparency.viewOpacityMask, symbol.edit, the
object.blend.spine commands, path.curvature and the type commands that read
type ranges.
targets() read `id` as an object only when it was a number. Any other
value ("abc", "5", true, {}, [1]) fell through to the selection, so a
command such as css.export, whose `id` the shared check does not read,
acted on the selected objects instead of failing. targets() now reads
`ids` and `id` through named_ids(): a value that is not a non-negative
integer is an error, and an omitted or null `id` still means the
selection. A numeric string is refused, as it already is in `ids`.
effect.apply and appearance.addEffect accept the effect as `id` when
`effect` is left out; they now read their targets with that `id` set to
null, so the effect still applies to the selection as before.
Each of the locator's nine squares was a Tab stop of its own, so Tab from
the field before it in the Transform panel, the Properties panel, the
Control bar and the dialogs that show it stopped up to nine times before
it reached the next field. The locator is now one Tab stop. While it has
the focus it shows an outline, and the arrow keys move the reference
point one square, stopping at the edges. A click on a square works as
before.
Screen readers get a radio group holding the nine squares as radio
buttons, with the current point as its value. The group is named after
the label next to the locator: Reference Point, or Pivot, Alignment,
Registration or Placement where the locator sets one of those.
New crate vectorcraft-js reads ECMAScript 5.1 source into a syntax tree
with source positions: a UTF-16 lexer (line and column tracking, automatic
semicolon insertion, the regexp and division goals), preprocessor lines
read as directive tokens, a recursive-descent parser to an arena tree, and
the ES5 early errors, strict mode included. Nesting deeper than
Options::max_depth (200 by default) gives a SyntaxError with its line and
column rather than overflowing the stack. Nothing runs scripts yet.
cargo xtask test262 downloads test262 at a pinned commit, checks its
SHA-256, unpacks it into the gitignored corpus/ folder and runs the ES5
syntax tests. A differential test in the engine compares the lexer with
scriptcheck on line counts, directives and unterminated literals.
With several objects selected, Shading, Revolve's Cap, Keep visible surfaces
only when expanding and the other checkboxes read a setting the effects hold
with different values as off. A mixed Shading also turned off the Lighting
tab's controls.
- A mixed checkbox shows a dash with its reset dot filled; a click turns it on
for every selected effect, and other changes leave it as each effect has it.
- A mixed Shading leaves the light settings available.
- A mixed menu choice shows its default; a mixed light color fills its reset dot.
- Add Light is unavailable while a setting of a single light is mixed.
The panel opens from Window › 3D and Materials (window.panel {panel:
"threeD"}). Its object types Plane, Extrude, Revolve and Inflate apply
Rotate, Extrude & Bevel, Revolve or Inflate to each selected object
without a 3D effect, and change the 3D effect of each other selected
object in place, all as one undo step. Below them are the effect
dialog's Object, Rotation and Lighting tabs with the same controls.
A changed setting goes to every selected 3D effect that takes it, as
one undo step; a drag previews and records one step on release, and a
change of selection during a drag commits it first, and so does closing
or hiding the panel. A setting the
selected effects hold with different values shows its default with its
reset dot filled. A light list edit reaches only the objects whose list
matches the first object's.
effect.setParams takes threeDType (plane, extrude, revolve, inflate):
the settings both effects take keep their values, rotation angles wrap
into -180..180 outside Revolve, and the rest start at the new effect's
defaults. Another value, or a non-3D effect at index, is refused; the
type an effect already has, with nothing else to change, records no
undo step.
Materials, shadows and ray-traced rendering are not part of this.

Fixes#3672
A numeric field's up/down spinner and the chevron that opens its presets
were Tab stops, so Tab took three presses to get from one field to the
next in the Stroke, Character and Transform panels and two in a text
field with presets (Export for Screens' scale). The Transparency row's
opacity slider chevron was a Tab stop after the Opacity field too. All
three now sense clicks without taking the keyboard focus; clicking them
works as before, and Up/Down in the field still step it.
Without the chevron in the Tab order, Alt+Down (with no other modifier)
in a field with presets opens its preset list with the keyboard focus on
the chosen preset, or on the first one. Before, Alt+Down stepped such a
field down by one; Shift+Alt+Down still steps it by ten, and fields
without presets still step on Alt+Down. Enter on the focused preset picks
it and closes the list without also pressing a dialog's OK, as the combo
boxes do, and after a pick or Escape the field has the keyboard focus
again.
document.open, file.place and document.pdfInfo read cropTo (and its
older name crop), password, colorMode and textAs as strings and used
the default when a value was not a string, so "textAs": true or
"colorMode": 5 opened the file with the defaults. They now return an
error naming the param, and nothing opens or is placed. A wrong crop is
refused even when cropTo is given. document.pdfInfo also rejects a
thumbnailSize that is not a number, with or without a thumbnail.
Leaving a param out or giving null keeps its default, and an empty
password still means no password.
charStyle.load, paraStyle.load and textStyle.loadAll imported the styles
into a copy of the document to see whether anything changed, then ran the
same import again inside the edit. The edit now takes the copy the first
import made. While a typing session is open the import still runs inside
the edit, because the edit ends the session first and that can change the
document.
Matching a loop of definitions parsed the document's brush library again
for every comparison, and placing brushes in use order parsed it again for
every brush. Each now reads it once.
The params text and docs/mcp.md now say that the symbols and brushes the
patterns use come along, that `skipped` lists names in the file, and that
charStyle.load and paraStyle.load list only the styles of their own kind.
A loaded character style kept a size, scale, leading, shift or stroke width that
charStyle.new refuses. Such a style is now skipped and listed in the reply's skipped names.
Load Character Styles and Load Paragraph Styles left out every style of the other kind,
so a pattern that a loaded style paints with kept a reference to a paragraph or character
style the document did not get. The styles of the kind not loaded now come along when such a
pattern or symbol sets type in them, renamed like any other.
The order in which styles, symbols and patterns are placed is worked out from one graph of
their uses instead of scanning every definition left in each round.
The Character Styles and Paragraph Styles panel menus get Load Character
Styles... or Load Paragraph Styles..., and Load All Styles..., which add the
styles of a document picked in an open dialog in one undo step
(charStyle.load, paraStyle.load, textStyle.loadAll). The swatches,
patterns and symbols the styles use come along as Paste brings them, in
use order, so a style or pattern renamed on the way in keeps its links.
A style the document already has, under its name or a numbered copy of
it, is not added again; another style whose name is taken is added under
a free name. The file's Normal styles, and styles with a blank name or
attributes that do not read, are not loaded.
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.
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.
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.

A colors value that is not an array, such as "#fff" or 5, was ignored and the command checked the selection or the whole document instead. It is now an error. A null colors still checks the selection or document, as an omitted one does.
The color management commands read their params with helpers that fell
back to the default for a value of the wrong type, so "bpc": "no" kept
the old setting, "on": "true" toggled the view and "convert": "no"
converted the colors. They now go through switch_or and text_param:
such a value is an error and nothing changes. Omitting a param or
giving null keeps its default.
- edit.colorSettings: rgb, cmyk, intent, bpc
- file.documentColorMode (and its alias): convert, intent, grays,
checked before the early return for the current mode; PDF import's
grays reads the same way
- color.convert: to, intent
- color.loadProfile: path; color.removeProfile: name
- view.proofSetup: target, intent, simulatePaper, proof
- view.proofColors and view.overprintPreview: on
- view.separationsPreview: on, only, toggle, and plates, which must be
an array of plate names
- swatch.setSpot: name, spot
With an unclipped raster/vector balance between 0 and 100, a group that
splits into more than 10^(balance/20) regions is rasterized whole and
none of its regions are used. The region build now stops at the first
region past that limit (pathops `regions_within`) instead of building
every region and then discarding them. Groups at or under the limit,
and every group with Clip Complex Regions on, still build every region.
Flatten Transparency, the flattened document and EPS export come out
the same as with every region built, for groups under the limit, at it,
just over it and far over it.
A corner tile was turned so that its x axis followed the mean of the
directions the path arrives and leaves in. A tile drawn as a right-angle
corner then came out turned 45° at every corner, so a rectangle drew its
corners as diagonal chevrons.
Outer and inner corner art are now both read as the corner that joins a
side tile on its right to one below it, as in the help's steps for
making corner tiles. Each corner tile is turned so that those two arms
meet the sides: on a rectangle the tile is square to the side tiles and
turns 90° from one corner to the next, and at other angles it is turned
halfway between the two sides. The arms follow Flip Along and Flip
Across, and a corner that takes the other kind's art turns it the same
way. Which art each corner takes is unchanged.
The PatternBrush field docs, the brush.options params text, docs/mcp.md
and the progress doc describe how corner art is drawn.
object.envelope.makeWithWarp, resetWithWarp and options read `style`
and `orientation`, and options read `preserveShape`, as text and
ignored any other value, so `{"style": 5}` kept the default style and
`{"orientation": "diagonal"}` kept the current orientation. They now
return "`style` must be a string" or "`preserveShape` must be a
string" for a value other than text or null, and "`orientation` must
be one of horizontal, vertical" for any other orientation, through
the shared `choice` helper. object.envelope.options checks the warp
keys whatever is selected, so a call with no envelope or only mesh
envelopes selected gets the same errors, an unknown style name
included. Omitted and null values keep today's defaults.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Update Links, and opening a document with Update Links: Automatically,
now read a modified file again for the images and placed documents in
symbols, graph designs, patterns and opacity masks that show the same
content as the objects read in the layers. By default Update Links also
reads the files that only that art shows. Each nested object takes the
file's place as its own Placement Options say, including the clip, and
its link takes the new path, size, modification time and hash.
Saving a document also refreshes the placed copies of it inside symbols,
graph designs, patterns and opacity masks of the other open documents,
not only those in the layers.
Relink, Embed and Unembed still change only the objects they are given.
A save wrote the path relative to the document only for linked images and
placed documents in the layers. Links inside symbols, graph designs,
patterns and opacity masks kept only their absolute path, so after the
document and its files moved to another folder together, those files were
not found.
- The save sets the relative path of every link the document holds.
- On open, a link inside that art whose file was found away from its path
takes the new path, as a link in the layers does, so the next save
writes the right relative path.
- Document::update_links_where changes only the links it picks and copies
only the nodes on the way to them.

Six buttons above the Image Trace panel's Preset dropdown choose a preset as the dropdown does:
Auto Color chooses Auto Color, High Color chooses High Fidelity Photo, Low Color chooses Low
Fidelity Photo, Grayscale chooses Shades of Gray, Black and White chooses Black and White Logo,
and Outline chooses Outline. With Preview on, a click traces the selected Image Trace object again
as one undo step; with nothing traced selected, it changes the panel's settings only. The button of
the panel's preset shows as selected, and its tooltip names the preset.
The help page lists these options before Preset:

Which preset each button chooses is VectorCraft's own.
High Color and Low Color get rows in every catalog.
With Fade Region Outside Artboard on, the canvas now draws the fade over the
art as well as the pasteboard: one mesh of black at 40% opacity covers the
canvas outside the artboards, so the pasteboard and any art on it show each
channel at 60% of its value, and art inside an artboard is unchanged. It
replaces the darker pasteboard fill.
Artboard Options sets the Global checkboxes' preferences only after
artboard.setProps or artboard.new succeeds. When the artboard command
refuses a value, the preferences stay as they were and the dialog stays
open. A Global value that is not true or false is refused before anything
changes.
