In RGB mode a double-click in the cell right of the R, G or B field
switches all three fields and sliders between 0 to 255 and percent (0 to
100 with a % suffix, as the CMYK fields show). The color does not change;
a typed percent converts back (50% is 127.5 of 255) and a slider click
picks a whole percent. Web Safe RGB, the hex field and the other modes
keep their units.
Only RGB rows have the cell. It is blank, is highlighted under the
pointer, and takes no keyboard focus, so Tab does not stop on it. The
RGB sliders are narrower by the cell's width and spacing, so an RGB row
is as wide as a row in the other modes and Tint, in a narrow panel too.
While a mixed selection disables the rows, a double-click on the cell
does nothing, as the fields beside it take no input.
The double-click runs ui.colorPanel {rgbPercent}, which takes a bool and
answers it. The setting is off by default and is kept with the
preferences (ui.color_rgb_percent); a saved value that is not true or
false reads as off. The color mixer in the Fill and Stroke chips'
popovers (Control bar and Properties panel) and the gradient stop dialog
show the same rows and follow the same setting.

The Actions panel menu gets Select Object…, which opens Set Selection with a Note field and
Case Sensitive and Whole Word. The step it inserts runs the new select.byNote command, which
replaces the selection with every object that can be selected whose note matches. When none
matches, the selection, its Puppet Warp pins and the active Appearance item stay as they were,
and playback stops with an error. Action set files that hold the step are saved as version 4.
Several rows of Edit › Keyboard Shortcuts had the same group and label,
so a user could not tell them apart: the four Window › Other Library…
commands, File › New… (file.new and file.newDialog), Type › Fit
Headline (text.fitHeadline and type.fitHeadline), Ui › Reset Panel (the
character and paragraph style options) and File › Continue in
Background (export and open).
Rows that would share an English name now take a name of their own:
- a command that an item of the menu bar runs is listed under that
item's menu path, for example Window › Swatch Libraries › Other
Library…;
- a command whose id extends another command's id is listed under that
command's label, for example Character Style Options › Reset Panel;
- the rows that still share a name show their id after it, except the
one row an item of the menu bar runs, so File › New… stays the New
Document dialog's row and file.new is File › New… (file.new). Two
filter plug-ins with the same menu path and label show their ids too.
shortcuts.list gives the new group of the first two kinds of rows in
`group`. The dialog's search finds a row by the id it shows. A message
about a shortcut that is already in use names every row that has it by
its whole name, with its group, instead of its label alone.
view.proofSetup, view.proofColors, view.overprintPreview and
view.separationsPreview stored the proof view and raised every open
document's revision on each run. They did this also when the request
asked for the view that was already showing, for example Proof Colors on
while it is on, or Proof Setup with no params. Each such run redrew every
canvas. When the active document's revision changes, the canvas also
sends a tool that asks for it a new hover event, although the pointer has
not moved.
- The four commands compare the new proof view with the current one. When
the two are equal, the commands leave the view and the revisions as
they are. Separations Preview's visible plates are compared as a set,
so the same plates in another order do not redraw.
- view.separationsPreview with `plates` naming a plate twice shows it
once, so one `toggle` of that plate hides it.
- color.loadProfile with a new file of the CMYK profile that Proof Setup
targets gives the documents new revisions, as it does for a working
space. Before, running Proof Setup again redrew the documents through
the new file; it now leaves an unchanged view alone.
- color.removeProfile gives the documents new revisions only when Proof
Setup targets the removed profile.
The Materials tab of the 3D and Materials panel lists the document's
graphics (symbols). Add as Single Graphic keeps the selected art as a
new symbol (threeD.addGraphic), and clicking a thumbnail maps it onto
the front of each selected object's 3D effect (threeD.mapGraphic) in
one undo step. The tab lists the mapped graphics with Face, X, Y, Scale
and Rotation and Remove Graphic, and a handle on the artboard drags a
graphic over its face.
The graphics are the new `graphics` parameter of threeD.extrude and
threeD.rotate: drawn on Extrude & Bevel's front and back caps and on
the Plane type, turned, foreshortened, twisted and tapered with the
face, shaded with its light and clipped to it. Symbol renames follow
into the graphics, and Select All Unused counts a symbol a graphic uses.

Paragraph panel menu > Bunri-Kinshi (with the East Asian options) and
text.setFormat {bunriKinshi} turn it on per paragraph. A line then
never breaks inside two em dashes, two horizontal ellipses, two two-dot
leaders or the two halves of a vertical kana repeat mark, the pairs W3C
JLREQ lists for class cl-08 (https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#cl-08), nor
inside a chain of em dashes. Both composers, vertical type, Kinsoku
Shori Type, hyphenation and No Break follow it, and a pair wider than
the line stays whole on it. Justification and letter spacing add no
space inside a pair.
The setting works only with a Kinsoku Set: with Kinsoku Set None the
paragraph keeps the value without effect and the menu item is
unavailable. It is off by default, saved with the paragraph only when
on, carried by paragraph styles (Paragraph Style Options > East Asian
Composition Settings), and turned off by Reset Panel. A value that is
not true or false is refused. The .ai editing data has no field for it,
so saving reports a paragraph with it on and a pair in it as left out.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
A tool step in the Learn panel now draws the tool's name as a link. Clicking
it, or pressing Enter or Space on it, runs the new learn.locateTool command,
which marks the tool where the current layout shows it without choosing it
(the help page:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/get-started/learn-the-basics/learn-skills-quick-skill-guide.html).
- A tool shown on its toolbar button has the button marked, and a toolbar
that has scrolled it out of view scrolls it back.
- A tool in a collapsed group opens the group's flyout with its row marked;
the group keeps the tool it shows.
- A group torn off into a strip comes to the front with the tool marked.
- Toolbars made with New Toolbar are searched after the Tools panel.
- A tool that no shown toolbar holds is marked in the All Tools drawer.
- A Tools panel hidden with Window › Tools shows again. In Presentation
Mode, or while Tab hides the toolbars, the reply is "unavailable" with a
reason.
- The mark is a 2 pt outline in the selection color. It lasts 3 seconds,
until Escape (also when Escape closes the All Tools drawer), or until the
next link replaces it. These are VectorCraft's own rules.
The command takes a tool id and rejects a missing, non-string or unknown id.
Catalog steps mark the linked name in brackets, and the catalog test checks
that each one names its tool. Rows for the command and the link's hover text
are added to every complete catalog.

Characters take two new attributes, `akiLeft` and `akiRight`: space
before and after each character in reading order, in thousandths of an
em from 0 to 1000, measured as tracking is. `text.setFormat`,
`text.setRangeStyle` and character styles set them; values that are not
numbers or are outside the range are refused, and a file holding one
outside the range opens with the nearer end. Both are saved only when
not 0.
- Layout: Left is the space above a character in vertical type and on
its right in right-to-left type. Wrapping counts the space, a line's
end keeps it when aligned, and justification and Optical kerning
leave it at its set width. A ligature, a letter with its marks and a
tate-chu-yoko block take the values of their first character.
- With Fractional Widths off or System Layout on, the space before and
the space after a character are each set in whole points and added
to its rounded width, so justification keeps them at that width. A
tate-chu-yoko block rounds the space above and below it the same way.
- Character panel: with Show East Asian Options on, Insert Aki Left and
Insert Aki Right fields with 0, 250, 500 and 1000 in their menus;
Reset Panel sets both to 0.
- Character Style Options › Advanced Character Formats shows Insert
Aki Left and Insert Aki Right, with the Character panel's 0, 250, 500
and 1000 in their menus; a typed value below 0 or past 1000 sets 0 or
1000, and Reset Panel unsets both.
- SVG export: live text places each character the space moves, and
type on a path with Insert Aki is written as outlines.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Twist was read as a live effect only on an unstroked path or compound
path whose segments were all straight, and on those at any angle.
- A curved path or compound path, or a group, with nothing stroked and
no guide in it now opens with its Twist live when the twist is at
most 90° either way. Larger twists on these keep the file's drawn
look. The 90° limit is VectorCraft's own.
- Paths and compound paths with straight segments and nothing stroked
keep their Twist live at any angle, as before, guides included.
- Stroked objects keep the drawn look, as before.
- .ai save keeps a link to a Twist graphic style on the objects the
reader reads it on, and leaves it out, with the style-link warning,
on the others.
Docs: docs/file-format-parity.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
SVG Options gets an Include Variable Data checkbox (the `variableData`
option, off by default). With it on, the saved SVG carries the document's
text variables, its data sets' text values and each text variable's bound
type object as a `variableSets` element, in the layout Load Variable
Library already reads. A bound object is named by its element id in a
`docRef="id('...')"` attribute; an object without an id gets one.
Opening such an SVG reads the variable data back: the text variables, the
data sets (none active) and the bindings, so choosing a data set changes
the type again. Variable data that Load Variable Library would refuse is
left out with a warning, and the art opens. Markup that only looks like
the element (in comments, CDATA sections, processing instructions or the
document type declaration) is skipped.
Variables of other kinds, names XML can't hold, more than 256 text
variables or 1,000 data sets, and variable data over 8 MiB or 2,000,000
XML nodes are left out of the file, each with a warning. Type written as
outlines opens as art, so its variables are written unbound, with a
warning.
A painted live effect on a fill can return a piece with several fills,
each a copy of that fill with its effects. A Transform effect after it
moved the piece, but only the first returned fill's raster effects
followed it: with a Drop Shadow before the painted effect and a 200%
Transform effect after it, the first fill's shadow offset became 20 pt
and the second fill's stayed 10 pt. Each returned fill and stroke now
takes the followed values.
css.export read `scope` and `path` with a lenient string lookup, so a
value of the wrong type (`5`, `true`, `["all"]`, `null`) was treated as
left out: the selection was exported, or the CSS came back as data
instead of being written. Both keys are now checked before anything is
generated or written, and a supplied value that is not a string is an
error ("`scope` must be a string", "`path` must be a string"). A
left-out scope still exports the selection, and a left-out path still
returns the CSS.
css.generate and css.export with scope "all" do not use `ids` or `id`,
but a malformed one is now an error there too, as it already is for the
selection.
When the document does not hold a color mask's masked pixels, the image is
drawn from its own pixels. A live color adjustment now recolors those pixels
and drops the mask on the recolored copy, instead of pointing the image at
the missing masked pixels, which drew nothing and left Expand Appearance with
an image whose pixels were not in the document.
Export As starts with Use Artboards off. For a PDF it then wrote one
page of the art's bounds straight away with the default preset, so the
Save PDF dialog never showed and none of its options applied there,
"Write pages longer than 200 in at full size in points" included.
Export As now opens Save PDF with Use Artboards on or off. With it off,
the dialog has no Artboards section, and OK writes one page of the
visible art's bounds the way Export As writes its other formats: with
Background Export, the progress dialog and its Cancel, and the question
before replacing the file the document was opened from. View PDF after
Saving opens that file too.
document.exportPdf listed useArtboards among its options but did not
read it. false now writes the page that document.export writes, and
ignores artboard, artboards and range; both commands use one helper
for it. document.pdfSettings refuses a useArtboards that isn't true or
false, and with includeDocument it exports that page, so the Summary's
warnings are about it.
While an opacity mask or symbol is being edited, document.exportPdf
and document.pdfSettings leave out the editing layer, from the drawn
pages and from the Preserve Editing data, as document.export does.
With the artboards as pages too, Save PDF's OK over the file the
document was opened from, when opening it left things out, now asks
first (file.export.pdf), and the question stays open when the dialog
closes.
A layer expanded to its edges keeps the paths made into guides inside it, as it keeps its ruler
guides. A clipping group with Revolve and Rotate is cut for Revolve, the effect the canvas draws,
so its fills go in one piece and art with more fills than a 3D effect takes still expands.
An HP-GL wedge of almost no radius drawn with an adaptive line type
(LT-1;EW0.000001,0,0;) leaves a lone moveto. Fitting the dashes to its
corners indexed the empty segment list and panicked while rendering. Such
a subpath now uses the exact plan, which has no runs to fit.
Found by import_fuzz::random_hpgl_instructions_never_panic.
Plain RGB fills and strokes and RGB gradient stops were written with
their display RGB values. The reader reads those values as working RGB,
so with a working RGB space other than sRGB a reopened file was saved
with different RGB values and CMYK equivalents. They are now written
with the color's own RGB values, as global process and spot colors
already were.
A spot color in a gradient stop now writes its RGB values from its full
color as the palette writes it (Lab to four decimals and clamped), the
same values its CMYK equivalent comes from.
artboard.new no longer raises a width or height below 1 pt to 1 pt, and artboard.setProps raises only a supplied side, so an edit to a small artboard's name or lock keeps its size.
many_tiling_patterns_and_spot_inks_read_in_linear_time checked that a
program setting 200,000 different tiling patterns and 200,001 spot inks
reads within 20 s of wall-clock time. It reads in about 4 s alone; while
the crate's full test suite ran in parallel it took more than 20 s and
failed.
In test builds, the tiling pattern lookup now counts on its thread how
many patterns it compared with the one it looked for (tilings_compared,
gated with cfg(test) like SELECTOR_TESTS in the SVG reader's CSS). The
test, renamed many_tiling_patterns_are_found_again_through_a_hash, reads
through import on a thread of its own and asserts that its 200,000
lookups compared at most 200,000 patterns in all. When every pattern
hashes alike, as when each lookup went through every pattern made so
far, the lookups compare 19,999,900,000 and the test fails. The test
still reads the 200,001 spot inks and checks their swatches, but it does
not count or time their lookups.
The other tests that read through read_soon wait 300 s instead of 20 s,
as a guard against a read that never ends; their budgets and limits
decide what they check. work_on_the_longest_dash_pattern_ends_soon (4.5 s
alone) now also checks that the states gsave, grestore, gstate,
currentgstate and setgstate save, make or set hold the one 65,535-entry
dash pattern, so a copy of the pattern in any of them fails it.
File › Place with Link reads a DCS 1.0 or 2.0 file (an EPS file whose
header names one EPS program per printing plate) as one linked image of
its plates. Each spot plate adds a spot swatch in the CMYK values the
file gives, and the clipping path the file's composite is drawn through
clips the image. document.open, file.place without link or from bytes,
and links.embed refuse a DCS file and change nothing.
- The screen, composite print and exports show the plates mixed into
CMYK. Separations Preview and print separations show each plate on
its own ink; a spot plate prints as its CMYK values when spots print
as process.
- links.list answers the format DCS, and with dcsTransparency marks the
DCS images that are transparent or overlap transparent objects (the
Links panel menu's Show DCS Transparency Interactions).
- swatch.unused leaves out a spot swatch while a DCS image has a plate
of its ink.
- links.update and links.relink read the plates and the clipping path
again, and the link shows as modified when one of its plate files
changes or is gone.
- The plates go on the first plate's pixel grid, grown to hold every
plate where it prints; a plate of another size or position is
resampled onto it.
- A file may name 64 plates, a plate file may be 1 GB, and the plates
together may hold 512 MB of ink amounts. A file naming more plates is
an error.

In a CID-keyed font whose CIDFont the file only names, a cshow procedure
now runs with the CIDFont as the current font, rootfont gives the
composite font, and the procedure gets each code's last byte. A show in
the CIDFont shows the character of that code, and any other string is a
rangecheck error. The current font is restored after each procedure.
A kshow procedure no longer leaves a font it sets current: the current
font is restored when the procedure completes, for every font, and a
kshow the procedure runs sees the font the procedure set.
In GBT-H and CNS2-H, whose mappings are not read, a byte that starts no
row-and-cell code is a code of its own.
docs/gaps.md dates this G9 work in a bullet of its own.
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.
Under automation read roots, a reply's base64 `thumbnail` (a library
item's PNG in `library.get`, a page's PNG in `document.pdfInfo`) was
searched for hidden library paths like any other text, so a short path
that happened to occur in the encoded bytes was rewritten and the image
broke. `thumbnail` now joins `dataBase64`, `pngBase64` and
`thumbnailBase64` as encoded data that is left unchanged; text under it
that is not base64 is still searched.
