A linked image read from a version 7 `.ai` file can keep its path in
the classic Mac OS form, with colons between folders
(`Macintosh HD:Images:photo.tif`). The link's name was the whole path,
so the Links panel showed it as one long name, and Relink to Folder,
the search of the document's folder and Find Linked Files looked for a
file with that whole string as its name.
A path with a colon and no `/` or `\` is now read as a classic Mac OS
path. Its name is the part after the last colon, and `links.info` gives
the rest as `location`. Relink to Folder, the document-folder search and
`links.findFiles` look for that name, and Find Linked Files compares the
path's folders with the folders of the files it finds. The link keeps
the path as stored. Paths with a `/` or `\` keep those as separators,
so a file name may still hold a colon (`/Users/a/x:y.png`).

As asked in review: the reference app has no such commands, so they ship
in the Color Effects add-on. paint.fillToStroke / paint.strokeToFill are
now addon.color.fillToStroke / addon.color.strokeToFill in
cmd/addons/color.rs, listed in Object > Plug-ins > Color Effects instead
of the Color panel menu, with catalog rows in all 26 catalogs.
Two fixes from CodeRabbit's review:
- A graph's series marks and labels give the graph the copied paint in
the same undo step (capture_series_paints / capture_label_styles, as
paint.setFill does), so drawing the graph again keeps it. Targets go
through graph::paint_targets, so a series group stands for its marks.
- A copy that would leave the effective paint as it is skips the object,
so None copied onto a missing fill or stroke adds no item and records
no undo step.
paint.fillToStroke and paint.strokeToFill copy each target's own top fill onto its top stroke, or the other way, so a mixed selection keeps each object's colour. They aim and undo like Swap Fill and Stroke: groups and compound paths by their members, each text run with its own paint, and only the characters the Type tool has selected. A stroke given paint at width 0 gets 1 pt, skipNone leaves objects whose source paint is None alone, and the defaults for new art change the same way. Both are in the Color panel menu after Invert and Complement.
While Select All holds a threaded story, a paragraph whose text starts in one of the
story's locked or hidden frames is no longer converted, and the empty parts of a converted
paragraph in such a frame are no longer restyled. Before, a locked frame whose first
paragraph took in the previous frame's empty last part was converted, and so was a
paragraph that ran on from a locked first frame into an editable one.
After Select All in a frame of threaded text, Remove Line Breaks and
Remove Paragraph Breaks changed only the edited frame, and Convert to
Text over MCP converted only the selected frame. Both now act on the
text of every frame of the story as one undo step.
- addon.cleanup.removeBreaks reads the frames of the story as one text,
so a break at the end of a frame before a word in the next one becomes
a space. The same applies when every frame of a story is selected as
objects.
- text.convertListToText without ids, id or a range converts every
paragraph of the story. Locked and hidden frames of the selected story
are not converted, even when ids names them. When the call converts
the whole story, the story stays selected; before, the call reset the
Type tool's selection to the edited frame.
- A selection inside one frame, and unthreaded type, behave as before.

`the_fallback_glyph_of_a_consonant_after_its_vowel_sign_is_reported` expected
the fallback face's cmap glyph for the vowel sign I. On the Ubuntu runner the
fallback face is Noto Sans Devanagari, whose shaping draws the sign with
another glyph (545 instead of 32), so the test failed on `main`. It now checks
that two glyphs are drawn in Ka's cluster, the first is not Ka's and the
second is, and keeps the `text.glyphAlternates` checks.
Fixes#5750
Where two open paths lie along the same stretch, the planar map gave
that stretch to one of them only, so a merge or an erase across it left
the other path in place there. Every other open path along an edge now
has its own piece in `lines_under`, under a closed path's outline or
along a line in front. `lines`, `edges` and Live Paint's edges stay one
per stretch, and an Alt-click there still takes the piece in front.
A document tab dragged sideways along the tab strip moves its document to the
place an insertion line marks; the current document stays current. Dragged
above or below the strip, the tab still tears off into a floating window. The
views Window > New Window opened move with their document, and each document
keeps its own zoom, centre and artboard.
The move is the engine command `document.move {from?, to}`, so the control
channel, MCP and recordings reach it, and a replay moves the document before
the steps recorded after it. `sync_views` keeps the views with their documents
by uid when the documents change order.

Locking or hiding the layer (or a group) around the isolated object left
its art selectable with the Selection tool: the isolation branch of the
hit test only checked for a locked artboard, and the marquee's checked
nothing. Both now pass over isolated art that isn't editable.
When a fallback face draws Ka with the vowel sign I, the vowel sign's
glyph comes first in Ka's cluster, and text.glyphAlternates reported it
for Ka, laid out or overflowing. The query now finds the face that draws
the character and takes that face's glyph for it by the same rule as
for the requested face.
When the requested font has no glyph for a character, the text draws it
from a fallback face, and text.glyphAlternates reports that glyph. For
a character that overflows its area, the query shaped the character
alone but kept only a glyph of the requested face, so it reported the
requested face's default glyph (0). It now takes the first glyph drawn
for the character when the requested face draws none, as it does for
laid-out text.
A symbol instance whose fill has an opacity of 0 no longer counts as
stained. Expand Appearance and the other places that build an
instance's art used to rebuild every solid paint as an unlinked color
even though the tint changed nothing, so the art lost its global and
spot swatch links.
Ka, the halant, Ka again and the vowel sign I are shaped as one cluster:
the vowel sign, the first Ka's half form, then the second Ka's default
glyph. The glyph lookup looked for the character's default glyph across
the whole cluster before its alternates, so for the first Ka it found
the second Ka's default glyph instead of the half form. It again goes
through the cluster in order, and takes the first glyph that is the
character's default glyph or one of its alternates and is not the
default glyph of another character of the grapheme, so a vowel sign's
glyph that the font also lists as an alternate of the consonant is not
reported for the consonant.
The enabled check of artboard.deleteEmpty built the full list of empty
artboards, measuring the visual bounds of the art against every
artboard, each time the Artboards panel menu was drawn. It now returns
false at once in a document with one artboard (that artboard is never
deleted). With two or more, it asks the new
Document::any_artboard_without_art whether any unlocked artboard has no
art, which is the same answer as a non-empty list.
Document::any_artboard_without_art builds the symbol boxes once for all
the artboards and first tests each path and compound path by a quick
box: its control points' box grown by the farthest its strokes reach
(Appearance::outset), with a margin for rounding. An artboard that no
quick box meets is reported empty without measuring along any path.
Only when every artboard may hold art is each one measured.
Document::artboard_has_art also skips measuring an object whose quick
box misses the artboard; its answers are unchanged.
The check of gradient.presets.save found the proxy paints through
Node::proxy_paint, which measures the object's geometric bounds for a
gradient box the check does not use. Node::proxy_paint_only picks the
same paint without measuring, and the engine's proxy_paint uses it, so
the Fill and Stroke proxies and the mixed-paint test no longer measure
each object either.
With an open stroked path of 200,000 anchors selected, the two checks
take under 0.01 ms instead of 21.9 ms and 17.2 ms in a release build, and
Delete Empty Artboards' check takes 0.85 ms instead of 42.1 ms with a
second, empty artboard.
Tests compare each check with what its command does (one artboard, all
empty, one empty, locked empty, nested art; with and without a
gradient), compare any_empty_artboards with the previous check and with
measuring every object on 120 seeded documents, compare the quick boxes
with the visual bounds on seeded strokes, and compare proxy_paint_only
with proxy_paint on seeded objects.

text.glyphAlternates reported the default glyph as `chosen` for any
character that overflows its area. A character whose style substitutes
another glyph (`salt`, or `vert` in vertical type) was reported with a
glyph it is not drawn with. The query now shapes such a character alone,
with the rest of its grapheme in their own styles and in the text's
writing direction, by the same helper text.setGlyphAlternate uses.
The helper also shapes the character in the direction its paragraph
sets it in, from its bidi level, so a parenthesis set right to left is
reported with its mirrored glyph in both commands.
Ka with a nukta and the vowel sign I is shaped as one cluster: the vowel
sign's glyph, then the ligature of Ka and the nukta. The ligature is
neither Ka's default glyph nor an alternate, so the lookup found no
glyph for Ka: text.glyphAlternates reported the vowel sign's glyph and
text.setGlyphAlternate reported Ka's default glyph. When the cluster
holds neither, the lookup now takes the first glyph that is not drawn
for another character of the grapheme.
text.glyphAlternates reported the first glyph of the character's
cluster as the chosen glyph. A vowel sign drawn before its consonant
(Devanagari Ka with the vowel sign I) comes first in that cluster, so
the query reported the vowel sign's glyph for Ka, while
text.setGlyphAlternate reported Ka's own glyph. Both commands now take
the character's glyph by the same rule, and so does the check in
text.setGlyphAlternate that the chosen glyph is drawn.
A character that overflows its area is shaped with its grapheme, and
each character of the grapheme now keeps its own style there, so a
nukta of another size no longer makes a ligature with its consonant
that the laid-out text does not draw. A test font with a Devanagari
nukta ligature checks both.
Paint and effect edits matched the active row across all selected
objects at once, so one object without an equal row made every object
edit the row at the raw index. ItemTarget::per_target and
effect_targets now match each object against the first one on its own,
as items_per_target does. effect_targets also looks up the row in the
stack it belongs to when deciding whether an effect edit is
object-level, so an effect on a row that sits lower in another object's
stack no longer fails with "no appearance item".
The `method` text of `paint.editGradient` and two passages of
docs/mcp.md said a CMYK document writes RGB and Lab gradient stops in
CMYK. An export that converts colors to an RGB destination profile
converts them to that profile first, so in a CMYK document they stay
RGB and a Perceptual spot gradient with such stops is written as an
image with the spot warning. The texts now say so, and the test of RGB
stops in a CMYK document also checks the RGB destination case.
The link-watch worker now signals a condition variable when it ends,
whether it stored its stamps or unwound, and Session::wait_link_scan
blocks until then. The place tests' idle helper waits on it once per look
in place of a 5 ms sleep under a 20 s wall-clock bound, and the engine's
link-watch and link-path tests wait on it in place of spinning under a
10 s bound. The link-watch tests date a rewritten file 2 s after the one
it replaces instead of sleeping 30 ms before writing it.
text.setGlyphAlternate looked for the character's glyph only in a
cluster as long as the character. A character followed by a combining
mark is shaped in one cluster with the mark, so the lookup found
nothing: under a substituting feature such as salt, `gid: null`
reported the default glyph instead of the one drawn, and a request for
the default glyph changed nothing.
The lookup now also takes a cluster that holds the character's
grapheme, and in a cluster of several glyphs takes the character's
default glyph or one of its alternates. Text that overflows its area
is shaped with the whole grapheme.
The method help of paint.editGradient and docs/mcp.md said a Perceptual
gradient with spot stops becomes an image in PDF unless every other stop
is paper white, CMYK or gray. PDF export checks each stop's color as it is
written: a CMYK document, or an export that converts colors to a CMYK
destination profile, writes RGB and Lab stops in CMYK, so the gradient
becomes a DeviceN shading. Both texts now say so, and a test covers the
CMYK document and CMYK destination cases.
A spot swatch defined in RGB keeps its spot flag and its own plate when
the document changes to CMYK, and its definition converts like any other
swatch: a fill that uses it and a 40% tint stroke take the converted
color. The Lab spot test's comment now says it covers a Lab definition.
Follows #5442.
- text.setGlyphAlternate keeps the default glyph as a choice when a
feature of the character's style (salt, a stylistic set) draws another
glyph for it, so the default glyph is drawn. A character that is not
laid out (overflowing text) is shaped alone in its style to decide.
gid: null reports the glyph the style draws.
- The Glyphs panel's alternates grid shows the default glyph first when
the font does not list it, so a chosen alternate can be put back.
- A test for a chosen character that starts a longer grapheme (f with a
combining acute), which is not split from its mark.
- The alternates tests in the engine hold the shared font lock while
they add fonts to the global font database.
A `color` parameter shows a color button that opens the color picker in plug-in
dialogs and the Appearance panel's effect editor; its default and values may be
a color object or a hex string, and the plug-in gets a color object. A filter's
returned objects may set `guide` and `locked`; objects it locked or made guides
are left out of the selection after the run.

Select > Object > All on Same Layers took the layer of every selected
object, including one that select.set had kept while it is hidden or
locked, on a template layer, on a locked artboard, or outside the
isolated group. That object's layer then decided which art was
selected. The command now takes the layers only of the selected
objects that the Select commands could select. When the selection
holds no such object, it clears the selection.
appearance.addFill copies the active fill row only when the call has no
`ids`, no `id` and no `target: "contents"`; the params text now names
`id` too. appearance.addStroke gives the new stroke at least 1 pt, so a
0.5 pt top stroke gives a 1 pt stroke; the params text now says so.
Tests pin both: `id` alone leaves the active row alone and puts the new
fill on top, and Add New Stroke on a 0.5 pt stroke adds a 1 pt one.
A freeform gradient whose field has no points of its own takes its
colors from the stops, so spot-linked stops in it are written in
process colors too. The export now warns in that case, as it does for
the other gradients drawn as images.
A Copy of ruler guides alone left the system clipboard as it was, so the
next Paste took whatever another app had copied before instead of the
guides. The guides-only Copy now empties the system clipboard (on the
web, empty text through egui with Copy As SVG on), as any Copy replaces
what the clipboard held, and drops an earlier Copy's formats not written
yet. What another app copies afterwards still pastes.
Copying only ruler guides published an empty SVG and text to the system clipboard, replacing
what other apps put there. The clipboard now offers other apps nothing without art. Tests cover
two pastes adding guides of their own on the current layer (following its visibility) and the
SVG carrying no guides.
With anchors and ruler guides selected, Cut deletes the anchors and the
selected guides in one undo step (edit.clear's guides: true reaches the
anchor-deleting path).
Cut with objects and ruler guides selected now removes both, in one
undo step: edit.clear takes guides: true beside ids to delete the
selected guides with the objects it names.
Edit > Copy and Cut put the selected ruler guides on the clipboard,
with the selected objects or on their own. Pasting puts them on the
layer new art goes to, selected, in the same undo step: with objects
they move as the objects do; alone they keep their places, while Paste
in Place / in Front / in Back put them on the active artboard as they
lay on theirs, and Paste on All Artboards on every artboard.
text.areaOptions given for several area type frames (ids, or a selection of
several) copied the first frame's options onto all of them, so setting one
option (say the vertical alignment) also replaced the others' columns, gutter,
inset and fit. Each frame now takes only the options given over its own, and
fit resolves against each frame's own setting, so fitMinPercent alone changes
only frames that already shrink text to fit. Options that change nothing add
no undo step and keep redo.
#5139 (in 0.21.0) made a positive Twist angle turn clockwise, but
documents saved by earlier releases stored their angles with the other
sign and reopened twisted the other way.
The document version (FORMAT_VERSION) goes from 1 to 2. Opening a
version 1 document negates its Twist angles (in layers, opacity-mask
art, Shaper edits, symbols, graph designs, pattern swatches, graphic
styles and brush definitions), unless the file is of the current file
version and its generator is VectorCraft 0.21.0 or later. The document
opens and saves as version 2. A save for an older file version, which
only apps before 0.21.0 read, writes a version 1 document with the
angles negated back. Graphic style libraries (.vcstyles) go to version
2: a version 1 library's Twist angles are negated when it is read.
Readers do not check either version, so older builds open the new files
as before.
Add New Fill again copies only the active fill row's paint; Duplicate
Item copies a whole row. The params text of appearance.addFill and
appearance.addStroke now says the new fill or stroke takes the paint
(and for a stroke, the weight) of the row it starts from, and a test
pins the paint-only copy.
