An SVG's root <title> and a PDF's, .ai's or .ait's XMP dc:title (else Info Title) are now
DocMetadata::title, the File Info title, not Document::title. Document::title stays what it was
on main: the file's name with its extension (a native file keeps its own), so the tab, the window
title, Save As, the default export names and Save for Web are unchanged.
- Document::info_title() is metadata.title else the document's title. file.info reports and
compares it, document.inspect and the document.open reply report it as fileInfoTitle, and the
writers of a title (PDF Title and XMP dc:title, SVG <title> and Dublin Core, PNG text, EPS, .ai
and EMF) and has_own_title (DisplayDocTitle) use it. The PDF page-information mark and the
default file names still use the document's name.
- Changing the title in File Info sets the document's title as it always did and drops the one the
file gave; the unchanged title the dialog sends back is no edit.
- metadata.title is saved in the native format only when set (older versions ignore it) and is read
back from the editing data of an SVG, PDF, .ai or EPS; a template opens untitled.
- Reverts the file-stem title, the stem_title cleaning and the svgz branch that only existed to make
Document::title a stem, and the five assertions that change had made.
An SVG's root <title> and a PDF's XMP dc:title (else Info Title) title the imported document; a file that gives none, or only the Untitled-N name, takes its file name without the extension. Native files and documents restored from editing data keep their own title.
A PDF, PDF-compatible .ai or .ait opened from its pages had an empty
File Info. Nothing read the file's document information
dictionary or its XMP packet, so file.info reported no author,
description or keywords, even for a PDF that VectorCraft exported.
vectorcraft_pdf::file_info reads both. The author, description,
keywords, copyright status, notice and URL and the created and modified
dates come from the XMP packet (dc:creator, dc:description, dc:subject
or pdf:Keywords, xmpRights:Marked, dc:rights, xmpRights:WebStatement,
xmp:CreateDate, xmp:ModifyDate), else from the dictionary's Author,
Subject, Keywords, CreationDate and ModDate. document.open,
file.newFromTemplate and file.revert put each value through file.info's
checks and leave out a value that file.info refuses. A packet that is
not well-formed XML leaves the dictionary's values. File Info does not
set the title, and a file restored from the document it carries keeps
that document's File Info. vectorcraft-pdf depends on roxmltree 0.21,
which usvg already brings into Cargo.lock.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (File Info), docs/file-format-parity.md,
docs/target-app-parity.md.
file.info takes and reports the title, author, author title, description,
keywords, rating, copyright status, notice and URL in one undo step, plus
the read-only created (file.new) and modified (every save to a file) dates;
junk values are refused. Document.metadata (DocMetadata) round-trips
natively. PDF export writes author, subject and keywords to the info
dictionary and XMP, PNG export writes tEXt/iTXt chunks, SVG export writes
<desc> and, with the metadata option, every field as Dublin Core. The File
Info dialog (fileInfo, ui.fileInfoDialog) edits it with keyword chips and
star ratings.
