Under --automation-read-root, document.json names a linked image or
placed file in a stored brush's art outside the read roots by its file
name alone, as it does in the layers. A stored brush entry that does not
read as a brush is left out of the reply, and a stored brush library
that is not a list becomes an empty one. A link whose file is inside the
read roots loses its stored relative path when that path leads outside
them, from the folder of the file the document was read from or from the
document's own folder.
Each writer marks its notes as a loss (something of the document that the
file leaves out or that reaches it changed) or as a note on the options
(an option it didn't apply or applied another way while the art reaches
the file as it looks, or something an option turns off). The PDF, SVG,
EPS, legacy .ai, DXF and HP-GL writers return their notes on the options
in a list of their own (`setting_notes`) beside `warnings`, and the
engine's `Encoded` does the same.
The replies of the save and export commands, and of
`clipboard.exportPdf` and `clipboard.exportPng`, list the losses first,
each kind in the order the writers gave them, across every file that
Export for Screens writes. The status bar names the first note, so an
export to lossy WebP of type in a font that isn't installed now names the
fallback-font note instead of the lossy WebP note. A print to a file
keeps the order its notes are given in.
With a Shaper Group or one of its faces selected, a Shaper click within
3 screen pixels of one of the group's original shapes' outlines enters
Construction mode with that shape selected, also where the outline runs
through a merged face. shaper.select takes a tolerance in points
(default 3, at most 1000); hidden and locked shapes are skipped, and a
Shaper Group above the selected one still takes the click.
The new General preference Show Bounding Box While Moving and Drawing
(`boundingBoxWhileMovingAndDrawing`, off by default) keeps the bounding
box and its handles visible during two kinds of drag, with View › Show
Bounding Box on. While a drag moves the selection (a Selection tool
move, an Alt-drag copy, or a shape tool's move by the center point),
the box is drawn where the drag has moved the selection. The box is
measured once when the drag starts and offset by each step's move.
While the Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon and Star tools
draw a shape, the box is drawn around the shape. A rotation and a
widget drag still hide the box until the release. The Line Segment
tool, the Pen, the Pencil and the Paintbrush draw no box.
With the preference off, the box hides during a move (#737, for #712)
and while a shape is drawn (#5839), as before. A Selection tool move
with Real-time Drawing off still moves the box with the pointer, and a
shape tool's move by the center point hides it in both modes.
With Real-time Drawing off, the box of a shape being drawn is measured
from the pending preview, in the color of the layer the shape goes on.
A shape being drawn shows no box until a preview step has succeeded,
so a failed preview does not show the box of the selection from before
the drag. The preference's label has a row in every catalog.
Session::deferred_move() is replaced by Session::move_drag_box(), which
returns the moved box, and Session::deferred_transform_box() now also
returns the layer color of the box.

file.new refused a side over 163,830 pt, while artboard.new took larger
artboards. Both now take each side more than 0 and at most 3,999,856 pt:
the 4,000,000 pt the canvas reaches from the origin, less a 72 pt bleed
on both sides. A side outside that range is refused with an error that
names the limit in points and, when the document's units are not points,
in those units, rounded down so the value shown is accepted.
artboard.new now refuses a supplied width or height of 0 or less instead
of making a 1 pt side, and refuses a size taken from a larger artboard.
Saved and Recent presets are read with sides up to the new limit.
Follows #6643.
edit.assignProfile replaced the active color context whenever it tagged a
document, even when the profiles it assigned were the working spaces
already in use. The new context has the same settings, but renderers key
their cached effect images on it, so every open document was redrawn and
every cached blur, shadow or glow image was drawn again.
The command now sets the active settings, and raises the open documents'
revisions so they redraw, only when the working spaces it assigns differ
from the active ones, as edit.colorSettings already does.
This also fixes an intermittent failure of the test
canvas::tests::a_drag_over_a_wide_blur_draws_the_blur_from_the_still_frame.
The Document Setup tests assign the working profiles while it runs, and
its drag frames then drew the blur again instead of reusing the still
frame's image.
A live-effect plug-in after a fill's or stroke's 3D effect (Extrude & Bevel,
Inflate, Rotate or Revolve) that links its pieces to a swatch or pattern was
run without the document, so its result was refused and the edges kept the
shape before it. The document now goes to those effects, as it does for the
effects after an object's 3D effect.
The Width menu now offers Tilt, Bearing and Rotation beside Fixed and
Pressure, each with the second width. Tilt goes from Width with the pen
lying flat to the second width upright; Bearing and Rotation go from
Width at -180 degrees to the second width at 180 degrees, as Scatter
Brush Options' modes do. A stroke drawn without that input is half way
between the two widths. brush.options takes width_mode tilt, bearing
or rotation.
With the Artboard tool chosen, the Align panel's Align Objects,
Distribute Objects and Distribute Spacing buttons, their UI commands and
the Control bar's Align and Distribute buttons act on the artboards the
tool has selected, as the public page describes:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/organize-manage-artboards/align-and-distribute-artboards.html
- artboard.align, artboard.distribute and artboard.distributeSpacing
move whole artboards with their guides, and with the art inside them
when Move Artwork with Artboard is on, in one undo step. No undo step
is recorded when no artboard moves.
- Align To offers Align to Selection and Align to Artboard. Align to
Artboard keeps the active artboard in place, and the Distribute
buttons then send the Distribute Spacing value. A locked artboard
stays where it is. These rules are VectorCraft's own.
- The Control bar shows the Align buttons, the Align To menu and the
Distribute buttons after the artboard controls while it has room.

An image with a geometry effect (Transform, for example) is drawn from a
copy of the image, and that copy now keeps the image's color mask. The
canvas and outputs show the masked pixels, and Expand Appearance keeps
the mask on the image it makes.
Test: a_transform_effect_keeps_the_mask.
text.create clamped a size above 1296 pt to 1296 without an error, so a
request for 2835 pt type returned 1296 pt type. text.createInPath,
text.setStyle and text.setRangeStyle clamped the same way. Each now
refuses a size outside 0.1 to 1296 pt with "`size` must be from 0.1 to
1296" and changes nothing. Both ends of the range are still taken.
Follows #6643.
- Outside Windows a `\` stays part of a hidden library's or sent path's
file name; another platform's absolute path is still split on `\`.
- A hidden relative path is matched after leading `./` and `../` parts
only when they start the path, so `/work/./data/icon.svg` keeps its
text.
- `ui.inspect` and `ui.docking` replies are hidden once, so a library
at the top of the file system shows as `loaded/<file name>` with its
separator.
Outside Windows, a path that starts with a drive (`C:`) or a `\` is read
as a name in the working folder, so with the working folder inside a
read root it passed the read check. ui.inspect then kept it in recorded
action steps and replies did not hide it when a request sent it. The
check now counts such a path as outside the read roots wherever the
control channel and the library commands check a path.
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.
Under the read roots, every control reply now shows a hidden library's
id as loaded/<file name> and its path as the file name in every string
and key: status text, dialogs, the command palette query, a script's
report, recorded steps and errors. The id and path are replaced at any
boundary, so a path between spaces, brackets or quotes, followed by a
period or by more path text (<path>.bak), or quoted with escaped
backslashes is hidden too. An occurrence that continues into a longer
path stays only when the request may read that longer path, so a
readable library's id that begins with a hidden one keeps its text.
The libraries hidden after the request ran are hidden, and for a
request that names one, those hidden before it too. A reply with no
path separator in it is not searched. Encoded file data (dataBase64,
pngBase64) is sent unchanged.
Recorded steps in ui.inspect leave out a path outside the read roots
under path, paths, file, files, folder and any param whose name ends in
Path, Paths, File, Files or Folder (diffPath, fontFiles,
destinationFolder), and an absolute path or file: URL outside the roots
under any other param or in any list. The file: scheme is matched in
any case, a URL's %XX escapes are decoded before the check, a file: URL
inside the roots stays, and a file: URL that
names another host is always left out. file_access::is_path_key holds the list of
path params, and testkit's is_path_key uses it.
Load Actions refuses an action set file over 8 MiB, with more than 1,000
actions, or with an action of more than 10,000 steps. Several ways of
changing a set could pass those limits, leaving a set that Save Actions
refuses to write.
- While an action records, a command (a batch and Find Objects that
selects included) whose step would give the action more than 10,000
steps or its set's file more than 8 MiB does not run, and the recording
goes on. A stop that playback reaches is left out then. A command whose
step grows past a limit only as it runs keeps its edit; the status bar
names the limit and Stop leaves the step out. Stop also leaves out any
recorded step still past a limit. Steps recorded after an exclusion
past an action's last step are included.
- An exclusion that would make the set's file larger than 8 MiB changes
no checkmark; one that keeps the size or shrinks it always works.
- Begin Recording, New Action, Duplicate, renaming an action, Action
Options, Set Options and New Set refuse a change that would give a set
more than 1,000 actions or a file larger than 8 MiB. A change that
leaves a set no further past a limit than it is now is allowed.
- Load Actions refuses a set, .aia sets included, that Save Actions would
write larger than 8 MiB (a file with less white space, or a set name
that gets a number added).
The limits are the existing ones from files.rs, and the errors reuse the
existing messages. docs/mcp.md and the commands' params text describe the
new errors.
- A live color adjustment recolors a masked image's masked pixels, on the
canvas and in outputs that apply the adjustment, so the colors the mask
hides stay hidden. Before, the adjustment recolored the image's own
pixels and the hidden colors showed again.
- An envelope warp gives each piece of a masked image the image's color
mask, so the warped image shows its masked pixels.
Tests: a_live_color_adjustment_keeps_the_hidden_colors_hidden and
an_envelope_warp_draws_the_masked_pixels.
With one object that Start Global Edit accepts selected with the Selection
tool, the canvas now highlights the other objects a start would take with the
current Global Edit Options, before Global Edit starts. The outlines are kept
per document revision and options, and none are shown during a drag.
