Paragraph Style Options and New Paragraph Style gain a Tabs section. It
lists the style's stops and edits the selected stop's Alignment, position
(X:, or Y: for vertical type), Leader and Align On character. Add puts a
left stop 36 pt past the furthest one, Delete Tab removes the selected
stop, and Clear All Tabs leaves the style with no stops. OK sorts the
stops by position and keeps the stop edited last when two share one
position. Reset Panel removes the style's tabs.
paraStyle.new, paraStyle.setAttrs and paraStyle.edit check changed tabs
stop by stop: at most 256 stops, and each changed stop's position from 0
to 100000 pt and leader of at most 8 characters. Stops the style already
has are kept as they are. Changed tabs are sorted by position, keeping
the first of stops at one position. text.tabs.set rejects a leader longer
than 8 characters, an Align On value of more than one character and more
than 256 stops. Loading paragraph styles skips a style whose indents,
spacing, hyphenation, justification or tabs are out of range.

The zero point dragged out of the box where the rulers meet snaps as a
Pen or shape tool's point does: with Smart Guides onto the anchors,
centres, edges and paths of the art and the artboards or into line with
them, with Snap to Point onto the anchors and along the ruler guides,
else onto whole pixels or the grid. The guides showing what it snapped
to show during the drag and go when it is released or cancelled
(Escape, focus loss, another document). The origin is still set once,
on release (document.setRulerOrigin, one undo step).
The engine snaps it (Session::ruler_origin_drag, with the tools crate's
rulerguide::OriginDrag over PointSnap::drawn), as it does a guide
dragged out of a ruler.
Under --automation-read-root, prefs.get, prefs.list, prefs.set and
prefs.reset returned the folder preferences (fontsFolder, pluginsFolder,
scratchPrimary, scratchSecondary, recoveryFolder, templatesFolder) and
the export presets' folder even when they were outside the read roots.
Such a folder preference is now null, as ui.inspect leaves it out, and
such a preset's folder is left out. An empty folder and the scratch disk
choices stay; without roots the replies are unchanged.
Convert To Point Type left Dynamic Text on when it turned Block area
type into point type. Point type has no Dynamic Text, but the flag was
saved, and converting the type back to area type turned Block on again
and fitted the lines to the new frame. The conversion now turns it off;
the point type keeps the sizes and leading Block wrote into the
characters, and the conversion is still one undo step.
draw_shape's rotation also turns rectangles and ellipses; object.reflect's numeric axis is counter-clockwise from horizontal. A test covers that axis and the Scatter brush's rotation range, which every_turn_param_says_which_way_it_turns can't reach.
Window › Swatch Libraries › Gradients gains Organic Fades, a gradient
library of fifteen fades (ten linear, five radial). Each runs through
three to five unevenly spaced stops with off-center midpoints, mixes
with the Perceptual method, and thins out to transparent at the end of
a linear fade or at the edge of a radial one. The colors are computed
from VectorCraft's own OKLCH anchors.
The library also lists in the Swatches panel's library menu, in
swatch.library.list (category "gradients") and in the Gradient panel's
Presets. swatch.library.add keeps each fade's stops, opacities,
midpoints and method in RGB and CMYK documents.
The other built-in libraries are unchanged: their gradients still mix
with Classic and keep centered midpoints, and a test checks it.
- Gradient previews in the Swatch Libraries panel, the Gradient
panel's Presets menu, swatch tiles and the toolbar drew every stop
opaque. Each chip vertex now takes the sampled opacity as its alpha
(freeform points too), and a chip with any translucent vertex draws
a white and gray checkerboard under the gradient. Opaque gradients
draw as before.
- When the preferences are applied, a saved gradient preset whose name
matches a built-in preset, or an earlier saved preset, in any case,
is renamed to the first free "<name> N" (N from 2), so a saved
preset named like a new built-in fade stays listed and can be
applied and deleted.
In distance mode, each pixel took a square root for every background color.
The nearest color is now found by squared distance, and only that distance is
converted to a percentage. The levels do not change.
The Blend panel gets a Create Spine menu (Auto, Always, Never) under Make,
and object.blend.createSpine {mode?} sets or reads it. It is kept with the
preferences, is not an undo step and leaves blends already made as they are.
object.blend.make takes createSpine to choose for one new blend.
Auto and Always give every new blend a straight spine, as before. Never
makes a blend without one: its steps sit where a straight spine puts them,
object.blend.info reports hasSpine: false, easing is refused and dimmed,
Reverse Spine and the spine point commands refuse it, Release gives back
no spine path, and Replace Spine gives it a spine. A blend taking more keys
keeps whether it has a spine. Native files save noSpine; older files open
with their spines.
Builds on #5177 by adambelis.
DXF Options gets Include Placed Images and Include Fill Hatches, and
document.exportDxf and document.export {format: dxf} take
includeImages and includeHatches. Both are VectorCraft's own options
and default to true, so Custom exports write what they wrote before.
- includeImages: false writes no IMAGE entity, IMAGEDEF, reactor or
linked file for a placed image, and does not decode its pixels.
- includeHatches: false writes each filled area's outlines without the
solid HATCH after them.
- Each adds one note to warnings when it left something out. R12,
which has neither, keeps its own notes.
- The CNC / CAM preset sets both to false, so its drawing holds the
cutting paths alone; the options given still override it, and
changing either checkbox shows Custom.

drop_left forgot a copy in an area the session left before removing it, so a copy whose removal failed (the area read-only for a moment) could later be offered back to the same session as a crash's copy. The entry now stays until both files are removed, and the next heartbeat tries again.
Convert to Artboards found the highest artboard id twice for each object it
converted: once for the new artboard's name and once in
Document::next_artboard_id. Converting N objects read about N^2 artboards.
The command now keeps the highest id as it adds artboards, and
Document::next_artboard_id_above gives the next id from it. When an artboard
has id u32::MAX, it falls back to next_artboard_id, which takes the smallest
free id. The ids and names it gives are unchanged.
