swatch.edit stored a replacement gradient without its placement, so a
radial gradient with an aspect, Alt-dropped on a gradient swatch or
given as `paint`, lost that aspect, while swatch.new keeps it and
applies the swatch with it. A gradient given an aspect without `start`
and `end` lost the aspect in both commands. A replacement pattern kept
the tile transform of the swatch it came from, while swatch.new stores
a pattern untransformed, and `paint: {pattern: name}`, which an Alt-drop
of a pattern fill sends, was refused.
swatch.edit and swatch.new now store a gradient or pattern through one
helper: a gradient keeps its aspect, with or without a vector, and holds
no swatch link, and a pattern is untransformed. swatch.edit takes a
pattern by name, as swatch.new does.
brush.freehand drew the plain path when `brush` named no brush in the
document or was not a string, and drew a pencil stroke for any `style`
other than "brush". It now refuses an unknown name with "no brush named
`<name>`", as brush.apply and brush.setCurrent do, a `brush` that is not
a string, and a `style` other than "pencil" or "brush". The document does
not change and no undo step is recorded. A `brush` left out or null still
draws the plain path.
The Paintbrush skips a tool brush or current brush that has been deleted
and paints with the other, or draws the plain path when neither is in the
document, so a stroke after a brush is deleted is not refused.
A CMYK TIFF written again, a CMYK JPEG that the Compression settings
resample or compress again, and a CMYK image written with its mask as
its soft mask lost the CMYK profile the image embeds. Such an image is
now written in an ICCBased space holding that profile, byte for byte,
when output.profiles is all or taggedSource, and in PDF/A-2b, PDF/X-3
and PDF/X-4 unless profiles is destination. Pixels the Output settings
convert are never tagged with it.
A CMYK JPEG embedded as it is now follows the same rule instead of
always carrying its own ICC_PROFILE segments: with profiles none it is
DeviceCMYK, and PDF/X-1a export no longer refuses a CMYK JPEG that
carries a profile.
A profile tags an image only when it is at most 16 MiB and its declared
size, acsp signature, device class, CMYK color space and tag table are
well formed. Tagged CMYK documents blend transparency in the document's
CMYK profile space, not in an image's own; without that space they
blend in DeviceCMYK, or keep their RGB space in PDF/A.
The Confining file access bullet said the app's own folders are not
confined. It now names the commands that check the roots for a file
there: the arrowheads edit, reload and list commands, the New Document
profile commands and file.new, and the Scripts folder listing and run,
each linked to its section.
With ids, Combine Point Text and Join Point Text take locked and hidden
type. They kept the first piece's object and removed the others, so
naming a visible piece and a hidden one beside it hid the visible text
or showed the hidden text, and the same held for locked pieces and for
pieces in a locked or hidden group or layer.
A piece now joins only pieces that are as visible and as locked as it
is, counting their groups and layers. The selection route takes only
editable type, so it behaves as before.
perspective.grid.preset stored the preset's grid every time, so applying
the preset the document already holds recorded an undo step that changed
nothing. It now compares the new grid with the stored one, as
perspective.grid.set does through grid_kept, and records a step only when
the grid changes. When only whether the grid shows or its active plane
differs, the preset sets them without an undo step, as
perspective.grid.show and perspective.plane.set do.
A graphic style from a .ai or EPS library whose fill, or the fill or
stroke of a style of one paint, paints with one of the file's gradients
by name was left out of the library. Such styles now load with that
gradient at the style's angle. The style stores only the gradient's name
and angle, so the gradient is fitted to the bounds of each object the
style is applied to; this placement is VectorCraft's own rule.
- A style of one paint reads a gradient instance's fill or stroke as
that gradient; a gradient outside an instance is still not read.
- A fill filter paints with its last paint: a color, a gradient or a
pattern replaces whichever of the others came before it.
- A style naming a gradient the file doesn't define, or painting with a
pattern, is still left out.
