text.tabs.set and text.tabs.clear return without an edit when every
targeted paragraph already holds the stops. A Ctrl-drag that the 0 pt
bound keeps from moving, or a drag released where it started, no longer
adds an undo step that changes nothing. When one targeted paragraph
holds other stops, the command still sets them all.
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.
Batch Trace Folder replaces a script, so it is now a Document Tools
add-on command, addon.document.batchTraceFolder, under Object ›
Plug-ins › Document Tools (as Export All Open Documents is), and no
longer in Object › Image Trace. Behaviour, caps and the refusal of a
folder too big to list in full are unchanged; the tests move with it.
The status messages have @msgplural rows in every catalog, as does the
menu label. When some images trace and some don't, the status is one
counted message ("Traced {n} images; not traced: {failed}") so it
translates as a whole.
list_dir cuts its listing before sorting, so a cut listing could skip any image. The batch now
stops with an error instead of tracing part of the folder.
imageTrace.batchFolder opens each image in a folder, traces it with a
preset (optionally expanded), saves it into a destination folder under
its own name (vectorcraft, svg, pdf, ai or eps; taken names numbered so
nothing is replaced) and closes it again whether it traced or not; the
active document stays active. Object > Image Trace > Batch Trace Folder
asks for both folders. Not on the web.
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.
A PDF-compatible .ai (or a PDF saved with the editing data) now opens
from its layers without its PDF part being imported, and without being
compared with its page, when:
- its text document makes the type of every text object, hidden ones
included, at least one text object shows, and none is drawn by the
appearance of the layer or group it is in;
- its layers hold no unread object, no placed file with a second
placement and no live envelope with drawn art to fall back on, and
no image too large to read;
- it declares no large canvas, and its artboards are its pages' trim
boxes one for one, in points or in the first page's UserUnit.
A file whose layers draw differently from its page then opens from its
layers instead of its PDF part. The bleed comes from the pages' bleed
boxes. The check runs only when no pages are picked, layers and the
editing data are on, the crop box is asked for and type comes in as
text. Files saved without PDF compatibility, files whose PDF part
draws only type or nothing, and files whose PDF part's content can't
be read take the same path when they qualify: their bleed comes from
the pages' bleed boxes, pages in units larger than a point draw them
at their size in points, and the note that the PDF part couldn't be
read is not given, since its content is not read.
Files that don't qualify open as before, and the editing data decoded
and read for the check is reused after the PDF part is imported
(layered_ai_from).
When a file whose PDF part can't be read is scaled up to its size in
points, its text wraps are now laid out again at that size, and the
default graphic styles of a file without graphic styles of its own are
no longer scaled. The same applies on the new path.
#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.
With a fill row active, Add New Fill copied only the row's paint and
reset its opacity, blend mode, visibility, overprint and effects. The
new row is now a copy of the whole active row, as the command's
description says.
The `method` text of `paint.editGradient` and the Method paragraph in
docs/mcp.md said SVG and PDF exports draw a Perceptual gradient as an
image. PDF writes an eligible one natively: tints of one spot ink as a
Separation shading in that ink, and spot inks mixed with other spot,
CMYK or gray inks as a DeviceN shading. Gradients without spot stops,
with RGB or Lab stops, dithered fills and curves with too many stops
still become images there. Both texts now say so.
text.setStyle and text.setRangeStyle collected the fonts for their
warning after Missing Glyph Protection had run. A character the new font
has no glyph for keeps its earlier font, and when that font was not
available the warning named it, although the command did not set it.
protect_missing_glyphs now returns the byte ranges that kept their font,
and both commands leave those ranges out of the warning's fonts.
Reduce to Basic Appearance and Add New Fill matched the Appearance
panel's active row only when every selected object had an equal row.
With three objects whose third had a different lower fill, the second
object lost the match too: Reduce kept its top fill instead of the
active one, and Add New Fill put the copy on top instead of above the
active row.
items_per_target now matches each object against the first one
separately, so an object keeps the match whenever it has an equal row.
layer.setProps, layer.new, layer.newSublayer and livePaint.gapOptions read
an 8-digit hex color such as #ff000080 as #ff0000 and set it without its
alpha. They now refuse it with the error a bad color already gets, and
change nothing. #rgba was already refused. #rrggbb, #rgb, a preset index
and a preset name are read as before.
The params text of select.same.symbolInstance, docs/mcp.md and
docs/target-app-parity.md now say that the object compared with can be
of any kind (a group member selected on its own, or an object that is
not a symbol instance, which leaves the selection empty), and that new
art on a locked artboard is not passed over while it stays selected.
A test covers the three cases.
Done (pattern editing), Stop Editing Opacity Mask and Exit Isolation
Mode end the Type tool's edit first, so point type a click placed and
left empty is discarded. While a Cmd/Ctrl press had lent a selection
tool, the Type tool was not the active tool, its edit was not ended,
and the empty point type was saved into the pattern tile or the mask.
The lent tool is now given back first. A drag the lent tool started is
kept as its own step, with its last position applied when Real-time
Drawing and Editing is off.
A layer nested in a group whose art was all locked counted for nothing,
so the group was hidden or locked with the layer inside it. The selected
layer now counts as selected itself.
While Lock Guides was on, a guide path that was locked itself, or sat in
a locked object, was not kept, so the group around it was hidden. Guide
paths inside locked objects are now kept too.
The renderer outlined the whole stroke of an edited path on every frame,
so dragging one anchor of a path with many anchors re-outlined every
segment. A stroke line of more than 1,024 elements without dashes or a
width profile is now outlined only for the segments within the stroke's
reach of the view, inflated by the view's own size on each side. The
cached outline keeps that region, and a frame outside it outlines the
stroke again. Closed subpaths that a wide stroke crosses over stay whole,
and a cut closed subpath is walked from a removed segment so no cut lands
where it starts and ends. The pixels are the same.
At 1600 x 1200, the frame after one anchor moves takes 28 to 30 ms
instead of 103 ms on an open path of 200,000 anchors, and 10 ms instead
of 30 ms on a closed path of 50,000 anchors (the new anchor_bench
example: cargo run --release -p vectorcraft-engine --example anchor_bench).
Remove Text Tweaker's own start and end check: range_of already refuses
a bad offset given with an id, and like the other type commands Text
Tweaker now ignores start and end without one. The test's "2" case
gets an id so it still reaches the check, and docs/mcp.md lists
addon.type.textTweaker with the commands that refuse such offsets.
text.startList read a negative or fractional `at` as the end of the
text, so it could remove a typed list marker there and start a list.
The `start` and `end` of text.editRange, text.getRange,
text.setRangeStyle and the type shortcut commands given an `id` read
such values as the start or end of the text.
These now return "`at` must be a whole number" (naming the key) and
change nothing. Omitted or null keys keep their defaults, and 2.0 is
read as 2.
Opening a .ai or a PDF read and checked the whole file up to five
times: for the document it carries, for whether it holds the editor's
private data, for the import, for the editor's copy and for its File
Info. Each pass parses the file and walks every object, about 190 ms on
a 15 MB .ai.
- vectorcraft_pdf::open_pdf reads and checks the file once, on the
import's deep-stack thread, and import_opened imports pages from that
reading. document.open takes the carried document, the page count,
the editor's copy and the File Info from it. The editor's copy is read
after the page import and only when the file is not restored from a
carried document; so is the File Info.
- A .ai saved without PDF compatibility opened with pages that name
every page reads its editor's copy from the same reading.
- document.pdfInfo reads the file once for its pages and the thumbnail.
- The Open and Place dialogs read the file once to decide whether to
ask for pages, instead of twice.
A file whose PDF part fails the check still reads its editing data
separately, as before.
A blend's record in the editing data holds its Blend Options spacing.
Word 1 is the spacing: 0 is Smooth Color, 1 is Specified Steps and 2 is
Specified Distance. For Specified Distance, word 2 is the distance in
points as a 32-bit float. The reader took only records whose word 1 is
1, so every Smooth Color and Specified Distance blend came in as its
drawn steps.
A Smooth Color or Specified Distance blend now opens live with that
spacing where VectorCraft lays out as many steps between each pair of
keys as the file draws, in the same places and colors. Otherwise it
keeps its drawn steps with the existing note. The distance is read as
the shortest decimal that reads back as the stored float. The steps are
counted before anything is laid out, and a blend takes from the
import's budget only when its count matches. Specified Steps blends
are read as before, with the steps counted from the drawn ones.
Tests: import::ai::tests::a_blend_keeps_its_spacing,
a_blend_of_three_keys_keeps_its_distance_between_each_pair,
a_blend_whose_spacing_doesnt_lay_out_its_steps_keeps_them,
import::ai::blend::tests::records_say_their_spacing,
a_blend_takes_from_the_budget_only_when_it_is_laid_out,
a_distance_past_the_keys_lays_out_no_steps, and the fuzz case
ai_blend_spacing_never_panics.
Object > Expand with Object on now turns each symbol instance in the
selection, including one in a selected group or in a placed document's
art, into its art, as Break Link to Symbol places it. It goes one level
deep: the instances in that art stay instances. The art keeps the
instance's id and place in the stacking order, and Expand stays one
undo step.
- Instances with effects stay instances, and Expand Appearance bakes
them as before. Instances with an effect on a fill or stroke,
instances in perspective, and those in blends, repeats and Intertwine
groups stay instances.
- The art keeps the instance's opacity mask, as Break Link gives it.
- A hidden or locked instance's art stays hidden or locked.
- A placed document in an instance's art is expanded too.
- When the instances' art would make more than 1,000,000 objects, they
stay instances, the limit Break Link uses.
- The Fill and Stroke options (object.expand.info, and the Expand
dialog) count the fills, strokes and gradients in the art of those
instances, with a dynamic instance's own changes applied. The info
reports under symbolArt which of them only that art holds, and the
dialog enables those options only while Object is on.
While the Type tool edits a frame of threaded text, Select All selects
the text of every frame of the story, highlighted in each frame. The
tool edits the first frame that holds text.
- Typing, Delete and Cut replace the whole story as one undo step
(`text.editRange` takes `clear`, the other frames whose text goes).
- Copy and Cut take the whole story (`text.getRange {id, story: true}`).
- Fills and strokes, `type.step`, `appearance.copyFrom`, the Character,
Paragraph, OpenType and text style panels, the Tabs panel's tab
stops, the font menus and the Justification dialog act on every
frame's text (`text.setRangeStyle {id, story: true}` styles them in
one edit).
- A caret move, a click or a word or paragraph selection ends it.
Select All in unthreaded type is unchanged.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Convert to Smooth or Corner on a blend whose spine came from Replace
Spine stored key anchors with the converted spine, so the spine's
points then moved onto the key centers. It now changes only the
spine's handles: the points stay where they are and the keys stay
spread along the spine. Direct Selection's spine conversion and the
other spine edits are unchanged.
Capture sweep-piece source attribution before endpoint pinning can move its
midpoint off the original outlines. Keep the existing lookup after pinning
when the original piece has no source.
Add planar coverage and native compound Make/Expand/undo regressions, and
document the existing front-most source-fill rule.
With a group isolated, a selected layer or group that holds the isolated
group is not selectable itself, so the type inside the isolated group was
never reached and the font Same commands returned "select a text object".
The walk now goes through such a layer or group to the type inside the
isolated group that can be selected.
A save as .ai or .ait (file.saveCopy, file.saveAs, document.save and
file.saveAsTemplate) set range to "all" before the file was written.
The one exception was a legacy .ai of version 7 given a range, which
its encoder checks. Every other save accepted an artboard, artboards or
range that names an artboard the document does not have (artboards: [5]
on a document of three artboards) and wrote every artboard.
document.export refuses the same value.
The save now refuses such a value with the export's error, under the
name of the command that was run, and writes no file. A range that is
not text, such as range: 42, was also replaced by "all". The save now
leaves it for the encoder, which refuses it as an export does. An
artboard the document has, or an empty artboards list, is still saved
with every artboard, and a legacy .ai still writes the artboards of its
range.
Select > Same > Fill Color, Stroke Color, Fill & Stroke, Stroke Weight,
Opacity, Blending Mode, Appearance, Shape, Graphic Style and Appearance
Attribute compared the other objects with the first selected object,
even when select.set had put a hidden or locked object, one on a
template layer or one outside the isolated group first. They now take
the first selected object that the Select commands could select, in
selection order, and keep the compound path and isolation rules for it.
A selection that holds no such object returns "nothing selected".
A layer that was selected (for example with select.set) gave no reference to
Select > Same > Font Family, Font Family & Style, Font Family, Style & Size,
Font Size and the text fill and stroke color commands: the layer itself is
not selectable, so the type on it was never reached and the command returned
"select a text object". A selected layer or sublayer now gives the type on it
that can be selected. A hidden, locked or template layer gives none.
Break Link to Symbol dropped the instance's opacity mask. The art now
keeps it, or a group around the art holds it when the symbol's art has
a mask of its own. The objects in the instance's mask art count against
Break Link's limit of 1,000,000 objects.
A `start` or `end` such as -1 or 1.5 was read as absent and changed text
before the range; it is now refused. Characters that already have the value
are left out, so a run that changes nothing returns count 0 and makes no
undo step. docs/mcp.md cites the public formatting-type page.

The test moves from an inline module in cmd/textedit.rs to
tests/charstroke.rs and uses that file's helpers. docs/mcp.md says that
text.setRangeStyle gives a range's stroke a 1 pt weight as text.setStyle
does, and that its strokeWidth and strokeOptions lengths are in document
points.
A graph keeps the paint and stroke weight given to a series' marks, but not
the opacity of their fill or stroke row. An opacity set with
`transparency.set {item}` or `appearance.setItem {opacity}` on a column,
bar, line or other series path was lost the next time the graph was drawn
(a data, type or option change).
- `SeriesPaint` gains `fillOpacity` and `strokeOpacity`. A setItem opacity
on the topmost fill or stroke of a series path stores it, in the same
undo step, and the generator puts it on the topmost fill and stroke of
every path directly in that series' group. Graph designs keep their own
opacity. A value read from a file is held to 0..1.
- The Appearance commands that change the opacity of a series path's
topmost fill or stroke (add, remove, duplicate and move a row, Clear
Appearance, Reduce to Basic Appearance, `appearance.transfer` and the
Eyedropper) update the stored opacity. They do not change the stored
paint, which only `paint.setFill` and `paint.setStroke` set.
- An edit that leaves a series path fully opaque stores nothing for a
series the graph keeps nothing for.
