GTK and the desktop portal match a filter's *.ext patterns case-sensitively,
so on Linux and the BSDs files such as image.DIB, photo.PNG or art.Svg did not
show under any Open or Place filter, "All readable files" and "All placeable
files" included. On those systems each open and place filter now also lists
every extension with each letter as a [xX] pair, the form the portal's
FileChooser documentation recommends. Save dialogs and the other platforms
keep the plain extensions.
PathData::nearest, which the Direct Selection cursor runs to find the
segment under the pointer, projected the pointer onto every segment of
the path.
It now projects the pointer first onto a segment at the anchor nearest
to it, then skips each segment whose control-point box lies farther
away than that distance or the nearest point found so far. Each box is
measured once and the search allocates no memory. The result is the
same, including which of equal distances wins. A segment is never
skipped when the pointer or one of its control points is past 1e100 or
not finite.
Over a segment of an open path of 200,000 anchors, the cursor takes
51 ms instead of 59 ms in a release build (anchor_bench). The progress
line in docs/target-app-parity.md gives the timing.
Tests compare nearest with every segment projected over 400 random
paths, each probed at 30 points on a coarse grid (ties included), and
on open, closed, compound, one-anchor, empty, huge and non-finite
paths.
OK in Tate-chu-yoko Settings read an Up/Down or Left/Right that is not a
length as 0 and applied it. It now returns "Up/Down must be a number" or
"Left/Right must be a number" and keeps the dialog open, and a blank
field leaves its value alone.
The editing copy of the art that a PDF-compatible .ai carries now holds:
- Transparency: `mode opacity isolate knockout shape Xy` (the blending
mode's number, Knockout Group 0 off, 1 on, 2 neutral), written when it
changes: in a path's paint after its colors, before a guide, and after
a group's end followed by `0 0 Xd` and `6 () XW`. A group without
transparency of its own ends `9 () XW`, and a group's name comes
before its state block. A layer's transparency follows its art: `Xy`,
`0 0 Xd`, `7 () XW`, `LB`.
- Clipping groups as `q`, the art, the clipping path or compound path last
with `h` (or `H`) and `W` before its painting operator, `Q`, as section
5.6.2 of the version 7 specification shows them
(http://mercator.elte.hu/~saman/hu/okt/AI7FileFormat.pdf). A clipping
layer whose clipping object is a path or compound path sets the last
`Lb` flag and writes its clipping path last.
- Opacity masks as an `AI9_Mask` entry in the object's dictionary: the
mask's art between `X=` and `X+`, and Clipping, Inverted, Disabled and
Linked.
Before, clipping groups were written as their art cut to the clipping
path, and transparency and opacity masks were left out. Still left out,
with a warning: the opacity and blending mode of single fills and
strokes, opacity masks on layers (disabled ones too), and opacity masks
nested more than 8 deep. A clipping group or layer whose clipping object
isn't a path or compound path is written as a group of the art cut to
that object, in a layer that doesn't clip, and so are the clipping
groups inside that art. A clipping path's paint that a plain fill and
line can't draw is written as paths inside the clipping, fills under the
art and strokes over it, each side in a group of its own when it has
several, with the clipping path's transparency, lock and hidden state;
the clipping path's opacity mask stays on the clipping path, with a
warning. A clipping group without members is an empty group, and an
empty clipping layer is an empty layer.
Each of these is written in the form VectorCraft's .ai reader reads, and
the tests read the written data back through that reader.
Reading .ai editing data: an `Xy` after a layer's last group or compound
path, followed by the layer's `7 () XW`, is the layer's (a following
`6 () XW` keeps it the group's); groups, compound paths and layers keep
Opacity & Mask Define Knockout Shape.
The `.ai` option `editingData` and docs/file-format-parity.md describe
what the copy now holds.
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.

a_file_placed_while_idle_follows_its_changes asserts that an idle
document without links asks for no frame. Its app started the real render
worker, and once a frame took over 8 ms the canvas sent the next render to
it. The worker asks for a repaint when it finishes, at a time the test
does not control, so under heavy CPU load the asserted frame could report
a repaint delay of 0 instead of none.
The test now sets canvas.worker_started, as the cursor idle test does, so
every frame renders on the test thread. It also dates the rewritten file
2 s after the original with File::set_times, as the opening tests do,
instead of sleeping 30 ms before the write. Shipped code is unchanged.
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.
At a caret the panel sends text.setRangeStyle with no range, which
styles all of the text, but the check that skips a choice that changes
nothing read only the insertion style. When the characters at the caret
already had the chosen feature and others did not, the choice did
nothing. The check now covers every character of the text at a caret,
so the choice applies, and a choice that changes no character still
adds no undo step.
With System Layout on or Fractional Widths off, each advance is rounded
to whole points, but a right-to-left character with manual kerning
still moved by the unrounded kerning value. The difference between the
two changed the space after the character before it in reading order.
The character now moves by the change the kerning makes to its rounded
advance, so only the space before the next character changes.
The CJK table had an older manual tate-chu-yoko row that still said the
Up/Down and Left/Right settings remain, next to the current row that
lists Tate-chu-yoko Settings as done. The ruby row also said manual
tate-chu-yoko is missing, and a separate row marked ruby as missing.
Remove the older tate-chu-yoko row and the "ruby missing" row, and
leave the ruby row about ruby only.
A plural status message such as "Saved {path} with {n} note: {first}"
matched a path that holds " with " by taking the first split, so for
"/out/art with notes.pdf" the count became "notes.pdf with 1". The
count did not parse, the translation took the plural form and split
the path.
The {n} of a @msgplural template now matches only a number, and the
matcher tries the next split when it does not. {n} in a @msg template
still matches any text, since those name brushes, symbols and presets.
Files saved mid-edit by older versions carry the opacity-mask editing
layer at the top level. An id there that names a sublayer is ignored on
load, so that sublayer and its art are kept.
Leaving opacity-mask or symbol editing now removes the editing layer
wherever it is, so a save or export after Layers moved it into another
layer no longer writes it. An editing id that names anything other than
a layer is left alone.
symbol_edit is no longer read from files: a value in file data is
dropped on load, so the layer it names is kept and saving does not
write the value again.
An object in 9-slice art that crosses a guide and draws symbol art is
placed by the map of the cell its center is in, so it can draw outside
the instance's transformed art box. Bounds measured without placing the
art (the renderer's culling, and placements past the object limit) used
that box alone, so the displaced art could be culled and not drawn.
The fallback now takes in the art box placed by each of the nine cells'
maps (NineSliceMap::placement_bounds), grown by the art's reach as
before.
File > Export > Export As PNG... opened PNG Options with no artboard
chosen, and a single-image export without one writes the first
artboard, whichever was in use. With no artboard choice given, it now
takes the active artboard, or each artboard the Artboard tool has
selected (one file each). A choice the caller gives is kept.
The PDF writer writes a spot gradient as a Separation or DeviceN shading
only when it is linear or radial; freeform gradients and dithered fills
are written as images in process colors.
- `paint.editGradient`'s method help and the Method paragraph in
docs/mcp.md limit the Perceptual exception to linear and radial
gradients.
- The Linked gradient stops paragraph in docs/mcp.md no longer says the
writer has no DeviceN: a gradient mixing spot inks with other spot,
CMYK or gray inks exports as a DeviceN shading, and only a mix with RGB
or Lab colors is written in process colors, with a warning.
Baseline shift on an upright glyph in vertical type moved it up the column
instead of across it, at any Character Rotation, because the shift was
applied before the glyph was turned upright. The shift is now taken off
before the turn and put back after it, so an upright glyph moves across the
column by the shift as a letter lying on its side does, and still turns
about its shifted pen position.
An upright glyph in vertical type has its frame's up axis along its column, parallel to the
line, so Touch Type split no drag or arrow-key nudge into kerning and baseline shift and sent
no movement. Such a glyph now takes the line's cross axis, right of its column, as the way
baseline shift moves it.
Mixed in display RGB, red and blue darken past blue's lightness and come
back. The weight search for a Perceptual DeviceN shading then found a
red-side weight for stops near the blue stop, and the inks jumped there.
When the display RGB mix's lightness turns back between two stops, the
inks are mixed at each stop's mix position instead.
type_font_menu_lists_every_available_family compared two reads of Type › Font while a test running alongside could add a font in between, so the menu was rebuilt with one more family. It now judges a run in which the font generation held still.
idle_expiry_closes_without_writing_a_line took a connection reset as a failure; on Windows the server's close of an idle connection can reach the client as one.
Choosing units in Preset Details restyled every preset card in the Recent
and Saved tabs, so switching between inches and millimetres rewrote all the
user's templates at once. The pane's options apply to the selected preset
(helpx, "Create and save custom document presets"), so only the chosen card
follows the chosen units now; the others keep the units their document or
preset was made in, and clicking one brings its units back. The built-in
category tabs still show the chosen units (#2078).
