document.save, file.saveAs, file.saveCopy and file.saveAsTemplate wrote
the file when given a key that no save format reads, beside the path or
in options, or an unknown key inside a PDF option object such as
marks.useDocumentBleed. document.exportForScreens did the same for an
unknown top-level key, a key in a format row and a key in the settings
of a format.
These commands now refuse such a key and name its path
(options.noSuchOption, formats[1].marks.useDocumentBleed). The svg
object is checked in every save, export and format row, also when the
file written is not SVG. A save still leaves out a key that only another
save format reads, and warns as before. A format row and a format's
settings still take includeArtboardFill and richBlack, which the
encoders read. document.exportPresets.save checks its settings, with the
rows and settings in it, the same way.
In the app, file.save and file.exportForScreens sent as commands are
checked as document.save and document.exportForScreens, and app.save is
checked before anything is written; MCP's app.save, file.save and
file.exportForScreens are checked the same way. The SVG Options dialog
no longer passes its internal fields on to the save.
File › Open With asks for the parameters of an importer that declares
any, at their defaults, once the file is picked (dialog `pluginImport`),
and opens the file with the values set. `file.openWith`, `app.open` and
MCP's `open_file` take `params` and pass them to the importer;
`app.open` without them runs the importer on their defaults, with no
dialog. A file opened with Open With is added to Open Recent, as File ›
Open adds the files it opens.
open_file passes `importer` (an importer plug-in's format id,
plugin.<id>) on to app.open. Headless, it becomes document.open's
`importer`; in the app, app.open with `importer` runs file.openWith, so
the file opens with that importer as File > Open With does, also when a
built-in format reads its extension.
document.export, document.exportSelection, document.serialize, app.export
and file.export took {noSuchOption: true} and wrote the file with no
warning. They now refuse a key that no format lists in document.formats,
and name the nearest key when one is close. document.exportPdf,
document.pdfSettings and pdf.preset.save refuse a key PDF doesn't take,
document.exportEps one EPS doesn't take and document.exportDxf one DXF
doesn't take. Each refuses an unknown key inside an option object it takes,
such as marks.useDocumentBleed, and names its path.
A key that only another format reads, such as {format: pdf, quality: 80},
is still ignored: docs/mcp.md says one object can carry several formats'
options. The check runs for callers (the control channel, MCP, the CLI).
A journal or a recorded action isn't checked, and a saved PDF preset with
a key that is no longer read still loads.
document.formats now also lists PDF's thumbnails, fastWebView and
viewAfterSaving.
save_file's note for a key in `options` that the written format doesn't
read named every .ai file a PDF-compatible .ai, also when the save wrote
a version 7 file (`aiVersion: "7"`) or one without PDF content
(`pdfCompatible: false`).
The save itself now writes that note, beside its note on a top-level
`compress`, `version`, `preview` or `precision`, and names the file it
writes, including when it reuses the options the document was last saved
with. save_file returns the save's reply unchanged, and
`run_command document.save` and the other save commands give the same
notes.
File > Open and File > Place read BMP files named .dib or .rle (run-length
encoded bitmaps included), Photoshop files named .pdd and PNG files named
.pns, in any letter case. The Open and Place dialogs list them in "All
readable files", "All placeable files" and their format's own filter, and
Glass's Load Texture lists them too. Linked files with these names update
and relink, the Links panel shows their format, and Edit Original opens
them.
The extensions are read-only: exports still write .bmp, .psd and .png, and
an export to a path with one of the new extensions is refused as before.
The desktop packaging does not associate them with the app.
