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.
PDF export writes a dithered gradient fill with spot stops, and a
Perceptual spot gradient with RGB or Lab stops other than white or more
than 4,096 stops on its curve, as an image in process colors. Add these
cases to the M3 roadmap rows and the color area's remaining work, and
correct the evidence line that said every Perceptual spot gradient
becomes an image.
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.
eframe's web build sends each key's text before its press. When several
keys arrive in one frame, the editor paired the backtick press with the
text typed by the key after it, so a shortcut on that key could show the
next key's character. The editor now pairs each text with its press
through `shortcuts::typing_presses`, which shortcut dispatch already
uses, for both event orders.
Numeric fields dropped every parenthesis before reading a value, so
(10+5)*2 typed into a field committed 20. Only the Kerning field, which
shows its automatic value as (12), now drops one pair of parentheses
around the whole text. Parentheses anywhere else are refused, and fields
without that display refuse them too.
The raster-effect cache key now includes the setting, so a renderer that
draws the same art with it on and then off no longer reuses a drop
shadow or other raster effect made with the other setting.
The Navigator panel menu's Panel Options… is enabled and opens a dialog with
the view box color (a preset or a custom color; Light Red, today's color, is
the default) and Draw Dashed Lines as Solid Lines, off by default, which draws
dashed strokes without their dashes in the panel's thumbnail only. The
options are kept with the UI state, and ui.navigatorPanelOptions sets them.
RenderOptions::solid_dashes draws dashed strokes as solid lines, including
type strokes and the silhouettes of stroke effects.
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.
`Color::from_hex` reads `#rrggbbaa` and keeps only its first six digits, so
a `color` set to `#ff000080` through `ui.dialog.set` was applied as
`#ff0000` without an error by Tile Edge Color, Live Paint Selection Tool
Options, Live Paint Bucket Options and Gap Options.
- A new `checked` next to `resolve` in `dialogs/tile_edge_color.rs` gives
the existing "is not a colour" error for an 8-digit hex color, and
otherwise reads the color as `resolve` does. `resolve` is unchanged, so
the swatches the dialogs draw with it show such a color by its RGB as
before.
- Each of the four dialogs' OK checks the color with `checked` first, and
leaves the dialog open with nothing changed. Tile Edge Color and Gap
Options already refused `#rgba`, which `from_hex` does not read. Live
Paint Selection and Live Paint Bucket used to ignore a color they could
not read, such as `#f008`, and apply their other fields; their OK now
refuses it.
- With Preview on, Gap Options sends no color for a `#rrggbbaa` value, so
the groups keep their own color, and the previewed gaps draw in black.
Docs: the params text, docs/mcp.md, docs/control-protocol.md and
docs/target-app-parity.md.
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.
The Global Edit Options dropdowns in the Control bar and in the
Properties panel's Quick Actions turn their button off while Global
Edit is on, but a popup that was already open stayed open and still
changed the options. Both dropdowns now close their popup while Global
Edit is on, and it stays closed after Global Edit stops until the
button is clicked again.
A selection that mixed kerning modes left the Kerning dropdown without
its Auto and Optical entries, so one mode could not be set on all of
it. The menu now lists both entries with neither checked.
