The Actions panel menu's Insert Menu Item… opens a dialog that lists the
menu items an action can hold. Find picks the one item that matches the
words typed, or a click on a listed item picks it, and OK inserts its
command as a step after the selected step, at the end of the selected
action, or into the recording in progress, without running it.
Playback runs the step as the menu does.
Items that open a dialog, Object > Align, and the File, Window and Help
menu items are not listed. `ui.action.insertMenuItem` does the same for
agents and refuses a command no listed item runs.
Insert Stop and Insert Menu Item refuse a step that would give an action
more than 10,000 steps or its set a file larger than 8 MiB, the most
Load Actions… reads, for actions and recordings alike.

The core-protocol text clipboard (used where the compositor has no
data-control protocol and there is no X11) failed a paste at once after
its 2 s read timeout, so the paste took the internal clipboard even when
the other app's text came within the paste's 10 s limit. It now keeps a
text read that got no answer in its wait, as the arboard path does, and
the paste waits for that answer on its background thread until 10 s
after the read was sent. The answer is pasted unless it is empty or the
text copied here.
When layout looked for room for a line's first word in a frame that is
not a rectangle, a soft hyphen ended the word even inside a No Break
run, although the line does not break there. The word is now measured
across a soft hyphen where kinsoku or a No Break run keeps the line from
breaking after it.
The test drew an ellipse from the top-left corner of the rectangle it had
just drawn, which stays selected. With a shape tool, a press on a handle of
the selection's box now scales the selection, so the press scaled the
rectangle instead of drawing. The test deselects before each tool draws.
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`.

docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/releasing.md.
swatch.library.list, brush.libraries, symbol.libraries and
graphicStyle.libraries returned every library's file path and the user
library folder to a client confined by --automation-read-root, including
paths outside its read roots. They now return null for those paths, and a
library loaded from a file outside the roots is listed as
loaded/<file name>, numbered (2), (3) when names repeat. That id finds the
library in the other library commands, and their replies show it too.
- The naming moves from control.rs into
swatchlib::concealed_library_ids, which numbers the session's loaded
libraries first, so ui.inspect, ui.docking and the library commands show
a library under the same id.
- swatch.library.copyToUser refuses a library whose file is outside the
read roots without naming the file; it and the library saves with
`user: true` leave out `path` when the user library folder is outside
the read roots.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (read roots), docs/target-app-parity.md.
A plug-in turned off by its id gets an entry for each file it is later
found under, so a later load skips each file before running it. Help ›
Safe Mode listed every entry, showing the same plug-in once per file.
It now lists each id once. Enable on Re-launch already turns on every
entry with that id.
A missing file below a folder link whose target does not exist got
"does not exist", while one below a link to an existing outside folder
was refused, so a script could tell whether the folder a link leads to
exists. A missing path is now refused when the nearest entry above it
that exists is a link that leads to nothing.
A fourth gradient kind, conic (also accepted as `angle` or `conical`),
sweeps the stops once around the center (the gradient's start),
clockwise on the page from the vector, with a seam where the last stop
meets the first. A negative aspect mirrors the sweep, and reflecting an
object turns its sweep the other way, also for a conic without a
vector or with a flat extent.
- Gradient panel: a Conic button in the Type row; the Aspect Ratio
field works for conic gradients and keeps a mirrored sweep mirrored.
- Gradient tool: the extent ellipse, aspect handle and center ring of a
radial gradient, without a focal point.
- Rendering, swatch chips, transforms, warps, plug-in round trips, and
Object > Expand into wedges or a mesh of columns around the center.
- Commands: a negative `aspect` is an error for linear and radial
gradients, and so is a `focal` point for a conic gradient.
- PDF export writes a function-based shading whose calculator function
turns the angle into the ramp, and PDF import reads a function-based
shading that turns around the origin of its space back as a conic
gradient, also when that origin lies outside the painted area. A
PDF/A file, or a conic with more than 97 stops, gets an image
instead.
- SVG export writes 360 solid wedges clipped to the shape for opaque
stops and an image otherwise, and a linear gradient on characters.
- CSS export writes `conic-gradient(from ...)`, with the stops mirrored
for a mirrored sweep.
- EPS and legacy .ai export write 360 solid wedges; the .ai editing data
holds a linear gradient along the vector with the same stops.
- .af files: conical gradients open as conic gradients.
- An export that writes the gradient in another form gives a warning.
Supersedes #2326 and includes switch87's code from it.

When plugin.remove could not remove the grant and then could not rename
the plug-in's settings folder back from <folder>.removed, the failure was
only logged: the plug-in got empty settings, and the next removal deleted
the .removed folder with the settings in it.
- The error now names the .removed folder, the plug-in folder and the
reason, and the plug-in gets no storage until the settings are back.
- The next load, install or plugin.remove of the plug-in renames a kept
folder back while the plug-in has no folder of its own. When it has one,
that folder is used and the kept one stays until plugin.remove deletes
both. A removal while a kept .removed folder exists renames the plug-in
folder to <folder>.removing.
- Before deleting a renamed folder, the store writes an empty
<folder>.removed.delete file and removes it once the folder is gone, so
what a failed deletion leaves is not moved back. When that file can't
be written, nothing is deleted.
- A .removed folder without a .delete file, including one an earlier
version left, counts as kept settings: a new install of the id needs
replace: true, and plugin.remove of the id deletes it.
When the check whether the clipboard still holds what VectorCraft copied,
or one of a paste's own reads, gets no answer within its 2 s, the read is
kept. The paste then waits for that answer on its background thread, up
to 10 s after the read was sent, instead of failing its other reads at
once and pasting the internal clipboard. When the answer is what
VectorCraft copied, or none comes, the paste takes the internal
clipboard; otherwise the clipboard is read as a paste reads it, with that
answer standing in for its read. An answer that came before the paste is
dropped and the clipboard is read again.
The word gap is now the Desired word spacing the layout uses for area type
with Block on (TextObject::layout_justification), with Minimum and Maximum
moved out to it when it lies outside them. The paragraphs keep their own
Justification values, so a wide gap no longer leaves a 1,000 % Maximum
behind, and turning Block off brings back the paragraph's own Desired
value. The SVG writer reads the same values.
- The Contextual Task Bar offers Dynamic Text for area type outside a
thread, beside Convert To Point Type.
- type.dynamicText with wordGap or lineGap and no area type in the
selection is an error instead of being ignored.
- Docs: docs/mcp.md, params text, docs/target-app-parity.md.
With the Selection tool on several frames of one threaded story, the
Tabs panel listed the paragraphs to change in the order the frames were
selected, and listed each frame's paragraphs separately. A marker drag
over mixed indents then ran its per-paragraph steps out of story order,
so a step that made text reflow could move a later step's paragraph,
and a paragraph that runs on from one frame into the next got two
steps. After Type tool Select All the split paragraph also got two.
The panel now lists each paragraph of a story once, in story order,
by its last piece with text in a selected frame. With the Selection
tool only the paragraphs with text in a selected frame change, so a
frame selected alone that starts or ends inside a paragraph sets it.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
object.vectorHalftone read frequency, angle, invert, clip and
keepOriginal with readers that fall back to the default for a value of
the wrong type, so {"frequency": "60"} drew a 20 lpi screen. shape and
mode given as a non-string also fell back to circle and mono. Each of
these is now an error and the document is left as it was. A null
value, color included, still stands for the default.
Seventeen @msg rows in hi.tsv and one in tr.tsv translated or dropped
the command id the English names outside backticks. For example,
"missing `id` (see plugin.list)" read "(information.list)" in Hindi, and
flattener.presets.list became "düzleştirici.presets.list" in Turkish.
The rows now keep each id as written. Several of the Hindi rows also
said the opposite of the English ("a profile is called" for "no profile
is called") and are corrected.
A new test checks every catalog: each command id a status or error
message names (dot-separated lowercase words outside backticks) appears
unchanged in its translation.
Closing a path by dragging on its first anchor made that anchor smooth
with symmetric handles, so the first segment bent along with the closing
one. The drag now sets the first anchor's incoming handle to the mirror
of the pointer. Its outgoing handle stays where it is on a corner, so
the first segment keeps its shape, and on a smooth anchor it turns to
stay in line at its own length. Alt makes the anchor a corner and leaves
the outgoing handle where it was when Alt went down. A click on the
first anchor closes the path with the incoming handle retracted and the
anchor a corner, so the closing segment comes in straight.
The Smart Pen's closing drag follows the same rule.
path.close's `in` now places the handle as path.setHandle does, and a
new `out` param places the outgoing handle and makes the anchor a
corner.
Type › Type on a Path › Center on Top and Center on Bottom
(type.pathCenter.top and type.pathCenter.bottom, also on the Contextual
Task Bar for type on a closed path) slide the type along its path so that
the middle of the span between its brackets lands on the path's topmost or
bottommost point as the object is drawn, after its transform. On a level
stretch, such as a rectangle's top edge, the middle of the stretch is used.
The span keeps its length, and the first paragraph is set to Center unless
it is Center or Justify Center. The type is not flipped. Type on an open or
compound path, type in a thread, and type on a path with no length or no
height are refused with an error that names them. When the type is already
centered there, no undo step is recorded. This is VectorCraft's own
behavior.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Extrude & Bevel (both kinds) and Inflate drew the faces of the fill's
solid and the stroke's solid in one order by each face's center depth.
At a concave corner a long fill wall could sort after a stroke wall in
front of it, so stripes of the fill showed through the stroke.
- Facets now record whether they are side faces (walls, bevels,
Inflate's sides) and whether they are turned away from the viewer.
- With caps on, each fill side face turned toward the viewer is drawn
before every face of the same shape's stroke whose bounds overlap
it, for strokes whose solid hides the fill's whole edge: a closed
shape, a width, no dashes, width profile or brush, and a solid color
or a gradient without transparent stops. Caps, other shapes in a
group, hollow effects and translucent or blended surfaces keep their
order.

When the read-only fallback's Save As panel returns a different format, drop the options captured for the original format and open the picked format's normal Save options; an unchanged format keeps its options. Regenerate the file.save entry in the MCP command catalogue.
every_command_survives_empty_params and
read_only_commands_read_the_instance_of_a_picked_object run every command
with {}. That includes plugin.clearCache, which without an id empties the
cache of every plug-in installed in the process. When either sweep ran
during plugin_storage_is_capped_and_survives_a_damaged_settings_file
(called from plugins_keep_settings_and_a_cache_of_their_own_in_the_store),
it deleted that test's cache entries Tile and tile. The test's
st.clear_cache() == MAX_CACHE_BYTES + 3 assertion after the
MAX_CACHE_SCAN folders then failed with 536870912 bytes freed.
Both sweeps now leave plugin.clearCache out.
tests/plugin_clear_cache.rs already runs it with {} in a test binary of
its own. A new test runs the other plug-in commands with {} in the
selection states that every_command_survives_empty_params uses, and checks
that an installed plug-in's cache keeps its 3 bytes.
The gradients category was titled Gradient Swatches and listed every
gradient swatch, used or not. It is now Gradient Objects: one row per
object filled or stroked with a gradient, named as the object is, with
the gradients it uses (a linked swatch by name, else Linear gradient,
Radial gradient or Freeform gradient). document.info adds
gradientObjects and gradientNames, and Selection Only, Save and the
Package report use the same rows.
Gradient objects follow the rules Pattern Objects uses for paint that
draws: hidden fills and strokes, strokes with no width, guides, compound
path members' own paint, image paint without a shape and type that draws
nothing are left out, and type whose characters carry a gradient is
included. objects.gradients now counts the listed objects, so it no
longer counts hidden or zero-width gradient paint and no longer misses
type whose characters use a gradient.
The duplicate Document Info Save line in docs/target-app-parity.md is
removed.
A `File` or `Folder` for a missing path got "does not exist" even when
the path led outside the script's folder, through a folder link or, on a
file system where case matters, through a folder whose name differs from
the script's folder only in case, while an existing file there was
refused. A missing path is now refused unless the nearest folder above
it that exists lies inside a granted folder.
In a frame that is not a rectangle, or with text wrap, layout moves a
line down to the first span wide enough for its first word. The word
was measured at full width before Mojikumi set an opening bracket at
the line's start flush, and with its last character at full width, so
a word that fit as set moved down to a wider line. It also ended at any
break opportunity, so an opening bracket counted without the character
kinsoku keeps with it and could be placed alone on a line too narrow
for that character.
- word_width ends the word only where break_line may end a line: at a
cluster end that kinsoku allows, not inside a No Break run, whose
spaces count. It leaves out the spaces at the word's end and narrows
its last glyph by the Mojikumi line-end credit.
- place_flow_line measures the word after the opening-bracket trim, and
the Every-line Composer's first-line placement takes off the same
start credit, so the composed widths match the placed lines.
With Line-end Punctuation Half Width, a closing bracket, comma or full
stop ending a line is set half width, but both composers measured it at
full width. A closing bracket that fit only at half width went to the
next line with the character before it, and so did a comma or full stop
with Burasagari None.
The single-line and every-line composers now measure each candidate
line with its last character set as narrow as Mojikumi sets it, using
the same rule the line is drawn with. A mark that already lost its half
to the punctuation after it and a line ending in a hyphen take nothing
more off, and the quarter em between Japanese and Latin text counts only
where the line ends. Kinsoku Shori Type measures the pushed-in and
pushed-out lines the same way. Right-to-left lines and Mojikumi None
break as before.
A test font sets ideographs and Japanese punctuation one em wide, so
the layout tests run without system fonts.
When the interface thread stays in one part of a frame for 3 s, a
watching thread writes a hang report to the log and to
logs/hang-report-<process id>.txt. The report gives the part of the
frame (input hook, logic, interface, or the renderer after a frame in
which any window had input), a system clipboard call in progress, the
last 8 different command ids, the last 16 frame times, the platform,
window system, desktop and session type, Flatpak, graphics adapter, the
present mode and frame latency the app asks for, the running time and
the number of open documents. It holds no document contents, file paths
or command parameters. The interface thread marks its stages with a few
atomic stores a frame, and the watching thread reads those marks without
waiting on it.
The process keeps the report file locked until the interface answers
again, then removes it. A file nobody holds at a later launch was left
by a session that was closed while it did not answer: the launch writes
the report to the log, moves the file to logs/hang-report.1.txt and,
unless another start-up message is showing, says so in the status bar.
Help › Copy Troubleshooting Info puts the platform facts, the recent
commands and frame times and both sessions' reports on the clipboard for
a bug report. An in-line file dialog, an open menu of the macOS menu bar,
and the time after a frame that minimizes or hides the window or starts
moving or resizing it are not timed.
The menu label and the two status messages have rows in every catalog.
Since #5839 the Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon and Star
tools draw the selection's bounding box with its eight handles, but a
press on a handle drew a new shape from it. A shape just drawn could not
be resized without switching to the Selection tool.
A press on a handle now scales the selection as the Selection tool's
handles do: the same cursors, snapping, Shift and Alt, Use Preview
Bounds, area type frames and Backtick for patterns. The box stays on
show at the changing bounds during the drag. With the bounding box
hidden, a press there still draws.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
When a second running copy listed the recovery folder, it could lock an
area that this copy had just made but not yet locked, take it for a
crashed copy's empty area and remove it. Locking the area then failed,
and the recovery save reported "No such file or directory". On macOS the
lock could also fail with "Invalid argument" on the removed lock file.
Taking a new area now counts it as busy, and tries the next name, when
its folder or lock file is gone by the time it is locked, when its lock
file is there but cannot be opened (some file systems keep a removed
file that another copy still has open until it is closed), or when the
lock file that was locked is no longer the one in the folder.
Tidying an empty area, and quitting, now remove the area while it is
still locked, and remove its folder once more after letting it go if
the folder is empty.
exact_merge looked at every input curve on each merge attempt, so tidying
the output of a sweep cost the number of input curves for each joint it
tried to remove. It now takes its candidates from Tidy::curves_around,
the bounds index that repair already uses, and tests only the curves
whose bounds hold both ends of the run.
A new test cuts one curve of a 1,000-curve row in three and checks that
the merge rebuilds it while testing at most four curves; before the
change it tested 1,002.
A paste on Linux and the BSDs read the bitmap on the clipboard worker but
waited up to 10 s for it on the UI thread, so a bitmap from an app that
never sent its data froze the window long enough for the compositor to
offer to close it.
The paste now sends the bitmap read to the worker and returns at once;
its background thread waits up to 10 s for the answer and converts it to
PNG. While that read is open, other reads fail at once instead of
queuing behind it. Each read gets its own answer channel, so a late
answer is dropped. The check of whether the clipboard still holds the
app's own bitmap waits 2 s at most, as text does.
With one Objects on Path group selected whose objects have room to move,
the Selection and Objects on Path tools show a diamond below the first
object. Dragging it moves every object along the path together, keeping
the distances between them (object.objectsOnPath.options with start),
in one undo step; Escape cancels it, and the first object's distance
along the path shows next to the pointer.
On an open path the widget shows only when the distance from the first
object to the last is shorter than the path, and the objects stop at its
ends; on a closed path they go on round across the first anchor. Where
Auto or a Space value the open path is too short for sets the distance,
the drag also sets spacing to the distance as drawn.
`inScopeNamespaces()`, `namespaceDeclarations()` and `namespace()` walk
from the node up to its root. The walk cloned each ancestor's whole node,
children and attributes included, to read its namespaces, and charged
fuel only for the namespaces it found, so a deep tree with no declared
namespaces cost no fuel. It now takes one unit of fuel per ancestor,
copies only the namespace list and parent link, and checks prefixes
already seen with a set. `namespaceDeclarations()` compares the node's
declarations with the ancestors' through a map instead of a scan.
The Batch dialog showed File Name for every destination when Play was
Data Sets, though only Destination Folder writes a file named from it.
The row now shows after Destination Folder for Data Sets with a folder
destination, and the dialog sends datasetFileNaming only then. The
chosen value stays in the dialog while another destination is picked.
action.batch and its default for an omitted datasetFileNaming are
unchanged.
links.list, links.check, links.info and document.open's missingLinks,
modifiedLinks and updatedLinks rows no longer give an automation client
with read roots the path of a linked file outside those roots. path and
found are left out of the rows, and links.info also leaves out link,
location and the file size and date the document stores. A relative path
is taken from the document's folder. Each row keeps its id, file name and
status, and the document's links are not changed. Without read roots the
replies are as before.
Find in Folder now matches a search's rows by their ids, comparing paths
only when both rows have one, so it still shows the files found for a
row whose path was left out.
A PDF/A file at PDF 1.4 has no UserUnit, so a page longer than 14,400 pt is written in points with or without longPagesInPoints. The param text, docs/mcp.md and the exporter comment now say that only PDF/A files at PDF 1.5 and later keep the UserUnit.
- `File.encode` and `Folder.encode` leave `/` unescaped, as the File
object reference lists it among the characters kept
(https://extendscript.docsforadobe.dev/file-system-access/file-object/).
- `exists` is true for a `File` only when the path names something
other than a folder, and for a `Folder` only when it names a folder.
- Fields of the records the app returns are read as own properties, so
a property a script puts on `Object.prototype` does not turn a
successful `open` into a failure.
- `File.encode`, `File.decode`, `File.isEncodingAvailable` and the
`Folder` locations count as file calls and charge the host-call limit.
- On the web the locations are `null` and `File.tempName` names a file
at the root, without asking the platform for a temporary folder.
PDF/A-2 limits page boundaries to 14,400 units (ISO 19005-2, 6.1.13), and
PDF 1.4 has no UserUnit. A PDF/A-2b export at PDF 1.4 with a page longer
than 14,400 pt was written in points, with a MediaBox over 14,400 units,
whether or not longPagesInPoints was on.
Such a file is now written as PDF 1.6 with a UserUnit and a warning that
names the version, as PDF 1.5 files already are. PDF/A-2 files may declare
PDF 1.0 to 1.7. Pages past 32,767 pt that aren't whole numbers of points
are written too, since the refusal applies only to PDF 1.3 and 1.4 files.
Files whose pages are all 14,400 pt or shorter stay PDF 1.4.
Advanced Character Formats in Character Style Options and New Character
Style gains Tate-chu-yoko Up/Down and Left/Right fields, in points from
-1296 to 1296, which set the style's tcyUpDown and tcyLeftRight as the
Character panel menu's Tate-chu-yoko Settings sets them on text. An empty
field leaves the attribute unset, an explicit 0 stays distinct from
unset, a value outside the range is an error, and the section's Reset
Panel clears them with its other attributes. Text that uses the style
takes the values and keeps its local overrides.
The floating panels' windows hide while a dialog, a menu, a tool flyout or the
All Tools drawer is open, but the commands went out only when that state
changed. A panel floated meanwhile opened shown at its topmost level, over
the dialog or drawer. A window that floats while the others are hidden now
gets the hide commands in its first frame.
When the room left in the result limit is too small for the lines of a
curved segment to stay within the tolerance, the loop stays as it is
instead of taking fewer lines that can pass it.
New Color Group looked up and removed each named swatch with a scan of
every swatch list, so making a group from artwork linked to many global
swatches took time quadratic in their number. Delete Swatch, Move and
Merge did the same, and checked each paint's link against the name
list.
take_swatches now finds every named swatch in one pass and removes them
together, in the order and with the same choice of swatch as removing
them one at a time. The commands look names up in one name map and
check links against sets.
With 16,000 named swatches in a release build, New Color Group went from
175.9 ms to 16.3 ms; 4,000 went from 11.6 ms to 3.6 ms.
The test now focuses the + button, opens its menu with Enter, and adds a
tool from the menu with Enter, as the docs describe, instead of checking
only that the button takes the focus.
When a flat closed loop becomes the lines between samples of its curved
segments, the line segments it keeps now count toward the 2,097,152-line
limit before the rest is shared among the curved segments. When that
leaves no line for some curved segment, the loop stays as it is.
