A sent path whose text overlapped part of a hidden library's path could
keep that path from being hidden; the hidden libraries' ids and paths
are now matched first. A hidden relative path is also hidden where a
reply shows the absolute path it reads as from the working folder, and
a hidden library sent by that other form shows as the sent path does.
A library loaded from outside a confined client's read roots keeps its
`loaded/<file name>` id for the session, in ui.inspect, ui.docking and
the library commands, so an id taken from an earlier reply still finds
the same library after another library with the same file name is
loaded. swatch.library.copyToUser leaves out `path` when the file is
outside the read roots, as the saves do.
The ids come from the engine's concealed_library_ids, which now reads a
path written with either separator, counts another platform's absolute
path as outside the roots, and keeps each id in the session.
Outside Windows, a library path that starts with a drive or a backslash counts as outside the read roots, since the file access check would read it as a name in the working folder.
Each hidden id or path is replaced once, chosen from the reply as given,
so a hidden path inside another library's shown id is not replaced
again, and a readable id written with %XX escapes keeps the hidden path
it begins with. A path quoted with {:?} is matched with its quotes and
control characters escaped. A path outside the read roots that the
request sent is shown by its file name in a reply that succeeded as in
one that failed, and a path param counts with a relative path too. A
relative path is not replaced where it ends a longer path. Without a
read root, a file: URL that names another host stays in ui.inspect's
recorded steps.
Revolve, Extrude & Bevel, Inflate and Rotate take a Shadows switch on the
Lighting tab, with Position (Behind Object or Below Object), Distance from
Object (0 to 100%) and Shadow Bounds (10 to 400%), saved in the effect as
shadow, shadowPosition, shadowDistance and shadowBounds.
With shadows on, the first light casts a hard-edged vector shadow of the
solid: every face of every solid of the object projected along the light
onto a plane behind the object (square to the view) or below it (square to
its own vertical axis and turned with it), filled black with the nonzero
rule at 50% times the opacity of the art that casts it, in that art's
blending mode, and drawn behind the solids. Distance moves the plane away
by a share of the object's largest size; Bounds ends the plane at a square
about the foot of the object's center, four times that size across at
100%. No shadow is drawn while Shading is off, when the first light's
intensity is 0, or when it does not reach the plane. A member's opacity
mask and blending mode apply to the part of the shadow it casts. A shadow
is cast from at most 327,680 faces; past that, commands are refused and a
loaded file draws the source path. The canvas, SVG and PDF exports draw the
shadow, and Expand Appearance keeps it as a path. Values out of range are
refused before the document changes.

docs/target-app-parity.md evidence list.
These commands read optional numbers and flags with f64_or and bool_or,
so a value such as "10" or "yes" ran the command with the default. They
now return an error and leave the document, the selection and the undo
history as they were. Omitting a key or giving null behaves as before.
- edit.duplicate, edit.paste, guide.move, object.slice.duplicate: dx, dy
- guide.move: copy
- document.node: summary
- edit.undoGroup.end: cancel
- guide.add: vertical
- guide.select, object.slice.select: toggle
- select.editSaved: delete; newName must be a string
- select.save: name must be a string
- file.close: index must be a non-negative integer
Object > Image Trace > Make and Make and Expand, and Object > Pattern >
Make and Edit Pattern, are no longer listed or accepted by
`ui.action.insertMenuItem`. Their menu items do more than run the
command: Image Trace traces off the UI thread with progress and Cancel,
and the Pattern items open the Pattern Options panel. Action playback
runs only the command.
Insert Stop and Insert Menu Item, given a set and action, now count the
steps that the recording in progress adds to that set, so the set as
Stop Playing/Recording leaves it stays within 10,000 steps per action
and 8 MiB as a file.
The command descriptions list every kind of menu item that cannot be
a step.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The Color panel's menu gets a checked Show Recent Colors item under Show
Options / Hide Options. Unchecking it hides the panel's Recent Colors row;
checking it shows the row again. Applied colors still join the list while
the row is hidden, Hide Options hides the row either way, and the Swatches
panel keeps its own row.
The setting is on by default and is kept with the preferences
(ui.color_show_recent_colors); a saved value that is not true or false
reads as on. ui.colorPanel takes recentColors: bool and answers it.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/control-protocol.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The Edit Colors commands read `fill`, `stroke`, `includeImages` and
`includePatterns` with a reader that fell back to the default for any
value that is not true or false, so `edit.colors.toGrayscale
{"fill": "false"}` converted the fills it was asked to leave alone.
These keys, and `convert` and `mode` in `edit.colors.adjustBalance`,
are now read with `switch_or` and `text_param`, and a wrong type is an
error that changes nothing. The same applies to `addon.color.filter`,
which shares the scope.
`edit.colors.overprintBlack` now refuses a `remove`, `fill`, `stroke`,
`includeCmyBlacks` or `includeSpotBlacks` that is not true or false
and a `percentage` that is not a number. `color.harmony` refuses a
`rule` or `variation` that is not a string; a `variation` such as 5
was dropped before.
A null still counts as a key left out. docs/mcp.md describes the
errors.
A hidden id or path stays only where it begins another loaded library's whole id with no `.` or `..` part, also when that id has a space after the hidden part.
With the Artboard tool selecting several artboards, Paste in Place, Paste
in Front and Paste in Back put a copy of the copied art on each, where it
was on the artboard it was copied from, in one undo step. The three
commands take `artboards: [index...]`; the app passes the Artboard tool's
selection there, and without it the engine uses that selection while the
tool is chosen and records it in the journal. Art copied from no artboard
keeps its place on the first artboard and its offset to it on the others.
Copied artboards still paste once, where they were.
An `artboard` or `artboards` value that is not an artboard index of the
document, a repeated index or an empty list is now an error, and nothing
is pasted. An out-of-range `artboard` used to paste the art where it was.
A batch keeps the `artboards` a paste step names, and a paste step that
names neither pastes on the Artboard tool's selection while that tool is
chosen with several artboards selected.

select.object.notAlignedToPixelGrid selects the paths (not guides) and
compound paths whose pixel-aligned property is off, whatever their
coordinates, and returns {count}. It looks into groups but not into
compound paths, which take the property as one object, and leaves out
hidden, locked and template art and, in isolation mode, everything
outside the isolated object. It replaces the selection, clears it when
nothing matches, and records no undo step.
The menu item goes under Select › Object with rows in every complete
catalog, and plug-ins may call the command like the other Select ›
Object filters. Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
graph.setType read `axisMin: "10"` as a cleared bound, so the axis went
back to the calculated range, and it ignored a string or number given for
a true/false option, a string for a number and a number for a text option.
graph.setData and graph.create ignored a `csv` that is not a string and
`series`, `categories` or `rows` that are not lists, and read a string in
`rows` as a blank cell.
The three commands now refuse such a value with an error naming the key,
and leave the graph and the undo history as they were. A null is still
read as a key left out, and a null axis bound still goes back to the
calculated value. A negative tick count is refused too.
The Control bar's panel menu lists the bar's groups of options above
Dock to Top and Dock to Bottom, each checked while it is on. A click
turns that group off or on, and a group that is off stays out of the
bar even while its tool or object is selected. A group that is off
takes no room, so the groups after it fit a narrower window. The menu
scrolls in a window too short for all its items.
- window.control.options {group, visible?} sets or toggles a group and
returns {group, visible}; an unknown group or a non-boolean visible
is an error and changes nothing.
- The groups are off only by choice: every group starts on. The choice
is kept with the preferences and with each workspace; files saved
without it show every group, and unknown ids are dropped on read.
- The Artboard tool's bar follows the Artboard Options and Transform
groups; with Image Options off, an image shows neither its controls
nor Fill and Stroke.
- New labels have rows in every complete catalog.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Double-clicking a paragraph style, or Paragraph Style Options... in the
Paragraph Styles panel menu, opens Paragraph Style Options
(`ui.paraStyleOptions`) instead of the rename dialog. Its sections are
General (name and stored attributes), Basic Paragraph Formats (Alignment,
indents, space before and after), Composition (composer, Roman Hanging
Punctuation), Hyphenation and Justification. OK runs the new
`paraStyle.edit {name, to, attrs}`, which replaces the name and attributes
in one undo step; paragraphs that use the style keep their local
overrides. Fields left as they were keep the style's values, empty fields
leave an attribute unset, Preview can be canceled, and each section's
Reset Panel (`ui.paraStyleOptions.resetPanel`) clears only its own
attributes. New Paragraph Style shows the same sections, filled in from
the selected paragraph or the interface language's paragraph defaults.
`paraStyle.new`, `paraStyle.setAttrs` and `paraStyle.edit` now reject a
changed indent or space outside -1296 to 1296 pt, Hyphenation counts and
zone outside their ranges, Justification values outside their ranges or
out of Minimum/Desired/Maximum order, and tab positions outside 0 to
100000 pt. A value the style already holds is kept.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
- Every request under a read root records the hidden libraries before it
runs, and the reply hides those and the ones hidden after it. A panic
is answered inside the request, so its error is hidden too.
- A hidden path followed by more path text stays only when the longer
text is another loaded library's id with no `.` or `..` part.
- Encoded file data is skipped only for a base64 string under
`dataBase64`, `pngBase64` or `thumbnailBase64`; objects and lists under
those keys, and other keys ending in `Base64`, are searched.
- The error of a failed request hides a path outside the read roots that
the request sent by its file name, so it reads the same whether or not
a library was loaded from that path.
- Paths written with `%XX` escapes are hidden, and on Windows paths in
another letter case.
- Recorded steps in `ui.inspect` leave out `~`, paths under `~` and paths
starting with `./` or `../` outside the read roots under any param.
- Hidden libraries are numbered in load order and keep their id from one
request to the next.
The Symbols panel menu gains Sort by Name, which puts the document's
symbols in name order, ignoring case, as one undo step
(`symbol.sortByName`). Symbols whose names differ only in case keep their
order, the current symbol stays current, and no undo step is added when
the symbols are already in order.
The menu's Thumbnail View and List View become Thumbnail View, Small List
View (18-point rows, 14-point thumbnails) and Large List View (the former
List View's 26-point rows and 22-point thumbnails), as in the Graphic
Styles panel. Clicking, double-clicking and dragging a symbol work the
same in every view.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The Actions panel menu's Insert Menu Item… opens a dialog that lists the
menu items an action can hold. Find picks the one item that matches the
words typed, or a click on a listed item picks it, and OK inserts its
command as a step after the selected step, at the end of the selected
action, or into the recording in progress, without running it.
Playback runs the step as the menu does.
Items that open a dialog, Object > Align, and the File, Window and Help
menu items are not listed. `ui.action.insertMenuItem` does the same for
agents and refuses a command no listed item runs.
Insert Stop and Insert Menu Item refuse a step that would give an action
more than 10,000 steps or its set a file larger than 8 MiB, the most
Load Actions… reads, for actions and recordings alike.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
file.package, file.place, file.place.queue, file.place.info,
document.serialize, document.export, document.exportSelection and
document.exportForOffice read their switches, strings and numbers with
helpers that fell back to the default for a value of the wrong type.
file.package {"copyFonts": "false"} copied the fonts, and
document.exportForOffice {"path": 5} returned the bytes instead of
writing a file. Each such value is now an error naming the key, and
nothing is placed or written. Null still means the key was left out.
swatch.library.list, brush.libraries, symbol.libraries and
graphicStyle.libraries returned every library's file path and the user
library folder to a client confined by --automation-read-root, including
paths outside its read roots. They now return null for those paths, and a
library loaded from a file outside the roots is listed as
loaded/<file name>, numbered (2), (3) when names repeat. That id finds the
library in the other library commands, and their replies show it too.
- The naming moves from control.rs into
swatchlib::concealed_library_ids, which numbers the session's loaded
libraries first, so ui.inspect, ui.docking and the library commands show
a library under the same id.
- swatch.library.copyToUser refuses a library whose file is outside the
read roots without naming the file; it and the library saves with
`user: true` leave out `path` when the user library folder is outside
the read roots.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (read roots), docs/target-app-parity.md.
A missing file below a folder link whose target does not exist got
"does not exist", while one below a link to an existing outside folder
was refused, so a script could tell whether the folder a link leads to
exists. A missing path is now refused when the nearest entry above it
that exists is a link that leads to nothing.
