With automation read roots in force, links.findFiles and text.findFontFiles
replies, including later polls and stops of a search another client started,
leave out the files found outside the caller's read roots, a sought link's
saved path outside them and the folder searched when it is outside them. A
failed search then gives its reason without the path. The rows keep their
names, ids and status, and the counts stay.
image.info gives link: null for a linked file outside the read roots, as
links.info does. text.addFontFiles gives folder: null when the Fonts folder
is outside the read roots and names the copies there by their file names;
the fonts are still copied.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
file.package, file.place, file.place.queue, file.place.info,
document.serialize, document.export, document.exportSelection and
document.exportForOffice read their switches, strings and numbers with
helpers that fell back to the default for a value of the wrong type.
file.package {"copyFonts": "false"} copied the fonts, and
document.exportForOffice {"path": 5} returned the bytes instead of
writing a file. Each such value is now an error naming the key, and
nothing is placed or written. Null still means the key was left out.
File › Open and File › Place refused plotter files: HP-GL/2 files
(.plt, .hpgl, .hgl, .hpg) were not a format VectorCraft reads.
The format table gets a read-only HP-GL format, read by a new
vectorcraft_cad::hpgl module. Each line the pen draws becomes a stroked
path in its pen's color and width, with the line type as a dash pattern
and the line attributes as caps and joins. Circles, arcs, wedges and
Bézier curves are drawn as curves. Filled and edged rectangles, wedges
and polygons (polygon mode) become filled or stroked paths, and encoded
polylines, scaling points, user units and rotation are read. Plotter
units (1016 to the inch, y up) become points, and the artboard holds
what the art paints. Place brings the art in as one group. Older HP-GL
files are read by the HP-GL/2 rules for the instructions the two share.
A file is recognized by its first instructions, after any printer
escape sequences and PJL lines, so a plot file also opens under an
extension no other format reads. VectorCraft's own rules where the
device decides: before the first SP the pen is pen 1, and the hard-clip
limits are 11 x 8.5 in, which P2 takes when the file sets no scaling
points. Labels, symbol-mode symbols and raster images are not drawn,
the input window does not clip, hatched fills are filled solid, and
later pages are drawn over the first; the warnings list each. Objects,
path points and pen widths are capped, and the import fuzzer covers
random, mutated and garbage plot files.
An importer plug-in that lists .plt, .hpgl, .hgl or .hpg now opens
those files only when document.open names it with `importer`.

Ruler guides were a list kept beside the layers. Each guide is now an
object of its layer or sublayer, always directly in it and above the
layer's art. These behave as on main:
- Guides draw on screen only. Exports (SVG, PDF, PNG, PSD), Fit All,
Select All, the art bounds, clicks and marquees, and a layer's
Pathfinder and Transform effects leave them out. The Layers panel
lists them as guide rows of their layer, the highest guide.list
index first.
- Deleting a layer deletes its guides, and merging layers keeps their
guides in the merged layer.
- The guide commands number guides as guide.list does, in the order
they were made.
New: each guide takes an id from the document's object ids. An object
command given a guide's id fails with an error, and node.move cannot
put a guide into a group or out of its layers. A guide made while an
opacity mask, a symbol or a pattern is edited moves to the top
visible, unlocked layer when editing ends.
File format: native files still save the guides in the document's
guides list, in every file version, so older builds read them. Each
entry may now also carry the guide's id, name, locked and hidden
flags; older builds ignore those fields. Opening a file puts each
saved guide on its layer (on the top visible, unlocked layer when the
file names none or a layer it does not have), and each saved guide
counts against the object limit for opening a file. A ruler guide node
that a file holds below a layer's art moves up to the layer's guides,
and one anywhere else (in a group or another object, beside the
layers, or in a symbol) is removed. Ruler guides read from an .ai file
become guide objects on the layer they were on, numbered in the order
the file lists them.
Commands that read `id` and otherwise act on the selection, the highlighted
layer row or a new object read it with a lenient helper, so `{"id": "abc"}`,
`true` or `{}` acted on the selection instead. They now read it with
`object_param`, which refuses any value that is not a non-negative integer
with "`id` must be a whole number" under the command's name and changes
nothing; an omitted or null `id` keeps the default.
Commands: object.isolate, layer.locate, layer.releaseToLayers,
graphicStyle.new and redefine, charStyle and paraStyle new, apply and
redefine, image.info, links.info, links.goTo, links.unembed, shaper.release,
shaper.expand (whose errors now carry their own name),
transparency.editOpacityMask, transparency.viewOpacityMask, symbol.edit, the
object.blend.spine commands, path.curvature and the type commands that read
type ranges.
A path with an Art brush comes in as the path, with the brush on its
stroke at its weight, instead of as its drawn look, when the brush
stretches art of solid-filled paths along the path, unflipped, at 100% in
Tints. The art runs on the side of the path the file draws it.
The drawn look stays for other colorizations and widths; Proportional,
between-guides and flipped brushes; type; a path with settings of its own,
a variable width, effects, a swatch stroke or an entry that isn't read;
and art with strokes, gradients, patterns, masks or effects, or no length.
A brushed stroke, Calligraphic ones too, takes the brush the Brushes panel
keeps under its name, and an image with a brush keeps its drawn look.
In every document, Tints and Tints and Shades take art in black ink alone
by its ink amount, and a process or gray stroke color's tints and shades
stay in that color's model.
Place and Expand bring the brushes the art uses, renaming on conflict.
Part of #637.
The status bar said "Opened with 1 note(s)", "Saved <path> with 1 note(s)",
"Discarded 1 recovered document(s)" and "Restored 1 recovered document(s)",
and the Global Edit options showed "Result(s): 1". They now use the singular
for 1 and the plural otherwise, in English through i18n::msg_n and in every
catalog through @msgplural rows (the Results line through an @plural row).
The engine's warnings for linked images and placed documents output as their
previews, and its errors for a page past a placed file's last page or
artboard, also name their counts in the singular or the plural.
The catalogs drop the rows no message reads any more: the plain "(s)" rows
of the changed messages and the @msg row for "Packaged {n} file(s){note}".
Follows #5002.
File > Place reads a Word 97-2003 document (a compound file named .doc,
or one that holds a WordDocument stream) and sets its main text as area
type, as it does for .rtf and .docx files. The text comes from the
piece table, in 16-bit Unicode or compressed 8-bit pieces. Formatting
is resolved from the style sheet's default font, the paragraph style,
the character style and the direct character and paragraph properties,
and keeps the same properties the .docx reader maps.
Table cells are separated by tabs and each row is a paragraph, and a
field places as its result. Hidden and deleted text, pictures, headers,
footers, notes, comments and text boxes are left out, and the reply's
warnings name each kind of content left out or changed once. Word 6.0
and Word 95 documents, encrypted documents and documents last saved
with fast save are refused, and so are structures that lie outside
their streams.
The compound file is read with the cfb crate (MIT), which adds one
package to Cargo.lock.
