A stop selected on a whole dynamic symbol instance's gradient stayed
selected after Direct Selection picked an object of that instance's art,
because the instance stayed the first selected object. The Gradient panel
kept the stop highlighted and the Gradient tool took Delete and the arrow
keys for it, while every gradient edit is refused for a picked object.
The stop's owner now records whether a part is picked, so the stop is not
selected while one is, and is selected again when the whole instance is.
Follows #6592. Paste now also skips the names that effects in the
document's brush art use when it picks a free name for a pasted SVG
filter. When no free name keeps the filter within the 64 KB limit (a
one-letter name at the limit with every free letter and digit taken),
the paste is refused instead of keeping the name of the document's
filter. Clipboard::import_into and import_text_styles return a Result,
and their callers pass the error on before the document changes.
Paste renamed a pasted SVG filter to a name no filter of the document
held, but an effect could still use that name, for example after its
filter was deleted. Defining a filter of that name later changed both
effects. Paste now also skips the names the document's effects use,
read only when a pasted filter needs a new name.
A new name with a tab, line feed or carriage return was written into
the filter's id as is, which XML reads as a space, so the id no longer
matched the effect's name. svg_filter::with_id now writes those
characters as character references, and paste takes a name only when
the filter's id reads back as that name.
`leading: "12abc"` set 12 pt leading and returned success, while `size`
and `tracking` in the same command refused trailing text. `leading` now
reads its value with `length_given`, so a string must be a whole number
or a length with a unit. The error message is unchanged.
The side limit compared the region's height in points times the scale
with 32,768. Far from the origin the snapped region can come back a
fraction of a pixel over, so art that the renderer draws at exactly
32,768 pixels was refused (a rectangle at y = 100,000 rasterized at
400 ppi). The check now uses the renderer's own rounded pixel width and
height.
Saving a legacy .ai of version 7 flattens each transparent image at its own
resolution, limited only by total pixels. The renderer draws at most 32,768
pixels a side, so an image that came out longer than that at its resolution
was cut off and placed as if whole: the part past that length showed the art
under it without the image. The resolution is now lowered until the longest
side fits.
Print as Bitmap limited each page's image to 65,535 pixels a side, but the
renderer draws at most 32,768. A 9000 x 100 pt artboard at a 300 ppi raster
effects resolution printed as an image that stopped at 7,864 pt and was
placed as if whole. The resolution is now lowered until the longest side
fits.
Pasted art whose SVG filter is renamed to a free name ("Soft 2") had
the new name written into the filter's id. For a filter at the 64 KB
limit the longer id made it too long to draw, so the pasted art lost
the effect. Paste now takes the first free name under which the filter
still fits: a shorter start of its name ("Sof"), else a free letter or
digit. The filter's id is always the effect's name.
Threaded type read from a file was flowed through its frames before
the document's composite fonts were registered, so a story set in one
was measured in the fallback font. Frames then held the wrong share of
the story after opening, until a frame was edited. load_with now lends
the document's composite fonts while it lays out its threads.
Object > Rasterize and the redrawn path of Crop Image allowed images up to
65,535 pixels a side, but the renderer draws at most 32,768. A 100 x 5569 pt
rectangle rasterized at 600 ppi came back 32,768 pixels tall, and the bottom
29% of the art was gone. Such an image is now refused like one over the
64 megapixel limit, and the art stays as it was.
A centered label such as Q||1 has no baseline for its empty middle
line, so a label that keeps more leading was not moved back to its
place. The graph now centers a label whose first and last lines hold
characters, whatever the lines between them hold.
effect.deferredStatus only lists the document's deferred stages, so it joins reviewed::ALLOWED. effect.refreshDeferred runs plug-in effects again, so it joins reviewed::DENIED, which fixes every_command_is_reviewed.
The flattener limited an image's resolution only by its total pixels, while
the renderer draws at most 32,768 pixels a side. A long area, such as a narrow
see-through gradient strip down a 2 m banner at 1200 ppi, came back cut off
at that length and was placed as if whole, so the rest of the strip was lost
in Flatten Transparency and in PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3 and PDF 1.3 exports. The
resolution is now also limited by the longest side, as raster effects are.
`#strict on` and `//@strict on` no longer end the run as unsupported. They
turn on the checks the dollar-object help page gives for `$.strict`
(https://extendscript.docsforadobe.dev/extendscript-tools-features/dollar-object/):
an assignment to a read-only property throws a TypeError, and so does a new
property on an object that takes none.
VectorCraft's own rules: a getter-only property counts as read-only; the
objects that take no new properties are the non-extensible ones
(preventExtensions, seal, freeze, and the frozen vc and $ objects); the last
`#strict` line of the script and its includes sets the whole run, and runs
without one are unchanged; eval and Function take the checks of the code
that compiles them; a file $.evalFile runs keeps its own line's checks for
its code and functions, or takes the caller's without one. The rest of ES5
strict mode stays with 'use strict'.
The js crate carries the setting per compiled source
(Realm::set_strict_writes, and a strict_writes callback on
HostItem::Evaluator), and applies it only to property assignments.
A script's $ object now has the other members the Dollar object page
lists: about, appEncoding, bp, build, buildDate, colorPicker,
decimalPoint, engineName, error, flags, gc, getenv, setenv, global,
hiresTimer, level, line, locale, localize, memCache, os, screens, sleep,
stack, strict and version. Scripts also get the global
localize(object, ...values), toSource(value) and
Object.prototype.toSource().
Each run starts with the interface's locale and its own $ state;
$.setenv changes only the run's copy of LANG, LC_MESSAGES, LC_ALL and
OS, and $.getenv returns null for every other name. $.sleep waits from
0 to 1,000 ms between frames, and script.stop ends the wait. toSource
writes plain data only and throws on cycles, getters, host objects and
values past the data limits.
The script checker reports $.localize as a $ member instead of the
global localize function.
When text.setGlyphAlternate leaves the text unchanged, it now reads
the glyph from the unchanged text. A character after the first in a run
that holds a glyph choice could be reported with its own glyph instead
of the ligature drawn for it, which text.glyphAlternates reports.
Pasted art whose svg.filter effect named one of the document's SVG filters
but drew another definition kept that name, so editing or deleting the
document's filter rewrote the pasted art's filter. Paste now renames such
a filter to a free name ("Soft 2") when the art comes from another
document or from SVG, and takes the document's filter when the art is
pasted back into the document it was copied from. Symbols, patterns,
brushes and graphic styles on the clipboard follow the same rule.
Category labels beside an axis and labels in pie wedges are centered
on their place by the default leading. A multi-line label that keeps
more leading or paragraph spacing ran down from that place instead.
The graph now puts the middle of such a label's first and last
baselines on its place.
A dimension selected with the art it measures became a plain group of
paths and text when Object › Expand, Object › Expand Appearance or
Object › Path › Outline Stroke ran, so it no longer redrew when moved
or restyled.
These commands now leave such a dimension's lines and label as they
are, also inside selected groups without fills, strokes or effects of
their own, and change only the other art. The dimension keeps its
export assets and variable bindings. When the new art no longer fits
the dimension's link, for example because the outlined stroke has
other anchors, the dimension stays where it was, no longer linked, as
it does when its art is deleted. Undo links it again.
When the dimension is all the command would change, the command
changes nothing and reports the error it gives for a selection with
nothing to change. Object › Expand… is no longer dimmed for the label
of such a dimension. A dimension selected without the art it measures,
a part of one, and one inside a selected group with an appearance of
its own still become plain groups, and Type › Create Outlines still
outlines the label.

With no glyph choice left on the character, text.setGlyphAlternate
returned the font's default glyph for it: 0 for a character the font
lacks, which a fallback font draws, and the lowercase glyph for a
letter under All Caps. It now reports the glyph the character is drawn
with, as text.glyphAlternates does.
