The Legacy .ai Options dialog gains Hidden Objects (Hidden Layer, Omit, Make Visible) and Text
(Editable, Outlines), translated in every catalog. Docs: type and hidden objects in the legacy
.ai paragraphs, the restored revision rows and roadmap row.
The .ai options dialog offers Legacy (version 7). In that mode it shows Transparent Images
(Flatten, Omit) and, with more than one artboard, thumbnails to check with the file each is
saved to (long names keep their end). OK is greyed out until an artboard is checked. A save
panel's Enter no longer confirms the options dialog it opens.
Drag out from a segment, corner, circle or arc to place a dimension; plain clicks pick two points or two lines. Radial dimensions on perfect arcs, picas, Away/Between and Left/Center/Right text placement. The Properties panel edits a selected dimension, with Apply to All (dimension.applyToAll) and Set as Default. Dimension Selected Paths, the Arc/R/Ø prefixes and the custom defaults are left out. The refresh returns at once in documents without dimensions (Document::dimensions); a linked dimension moved on its own keeps its place; modes, units, line types, arrows and text placement are enums; the tool has its own icon.
Use automatic vector smooth shading without a separate control.
Enable Cap by default and keep continuous rim curves and bounded seam joins.
Integrate the shared dialog with the other three 3D effects.
A shortcut set another app saved as slash-name text (a .kys file whose
text starts with a slash name and "{", such as "/Menus {") opens in
Import Shortcut Set from File › Open, from Edit › Keyboard Shortcuts ›
Import… in the desktop app, or from a drop on the window, whether or
not a document is open. The dialog proposes a target for an entry when
an earlier import kept one for that name, or else when one tool,
command or panel matches the name clearly by its id or by one of its
labels. It decodes the file's key and modifier codes from the codes
earlier imports kept, from the example in the AiCommandPalette README
(/Key 48 for the 0 key, with /Modifiers 0 taken as no modifiers), and
from VectorCraft's default shortcuts where at least two entries vote and
four votes in five agree. The user picks the remaining targets, presses
the key for each unknown key code or marks it No equivalent, and chooses
the modifiers for each unknown modifier code. Apply assigns the ready
rows with the Keyboard Shortcuts rules: a tool takes a single key,
optionally with Shift. It goes through the rows from the last one back
and leaves a row out when a later row it applies has the same shortcut
or the same tool, command or panel. Keyboard Shortcuts then shows the
result as unsaved changes until the user clicks OK. Copy Report copies
the set's name, the rows Apply leaves out and the parts of the file that
weren't read.
- shortcutSet.read is a query command: it reads a set and does not
modify the document or the preferences. It returns each entry with
its section, codes and line, and up to 1,000 skipped tokens, each cut
to 80 characters. It reads at most 4 MiB of text and 20,000 entries,
skips blocks nested more than 16 deep and cuts names at 1,024 bytes.
With a path it reads at most 4 MiB and 4 bytes of the file, and with
--automation-read-root (#832) the path must lie inside the read root.
A file whose text starts with "<", such as an XML shortcut file saved
as UTF-8, fails with "This shortcut file is in a form VectorCraft
can't read."
- importMatches.list, importMatches.set and importMatches.reset read
and change the matches kept with the preferences; resetting the
preferences keeps them. With Remember My Choices on (the default),
Apply keeps the targets and codes the user chose, and for the rows it
assigns, it also keeps the matched targets and the codes decoded by
agreement. A later import proposes them.
- The name matcher compares a name with ids by exact match and shared
words. It compares the name with labels, in English and in the
interface language, by exact match, shared words and character
pairs. It proposes a match only when one tool, command or panel
scores at least 0.6 and at least 0.1 more than the next one.
- When Import Shortcut Set is opened from Keyboard Shortcuts, Cancel,
Escape and ui.dialog.cancel close it and return to Keyboard Shortcuts
as it was (dialogs::PARENT). A document's queued Missing Fonts dialog
(#792) opens after Keyboard Shortcuts closes.
- File › Open has a "Shortcut sets" filter, and in the desktop app
Keyboard Shortcuts' Import… shows .json and .kys files.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/control-protocol.md, docs/development.md,
docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/roadmap.md.
The section lists asked for a selectable button and then turned its frame
off while the pointer was elsewhere, which also dropped the selected row's
fill: the section shown looked like every other row. The selected row now
keeps its fill.
A save that couldn't write its file (a read-only folder, a file another
program holds open, a full disk) was only reported in the status bar, a line
the next message replaces; a background save's failure arrived there some
time after the user had moved on. Save, Save As, Save a Copy, Save as
Template, Export As and the commands that write one file now also say it in a
dialog naming the file and the reason, which stays until it is closed. The
document stays modified and keeps the file it had. A message that arrives
while another dialog is open waits for it to close instead of replacing it.
An agent's request gets the error as its reply, without a dialog; a failed
recovery write stays in the status bar.
The web app's download callback returned nothing, so a save whose Blob, URL or
anchor couldn't be made was reported as written: the document counted as
saved, its recovery copy was dropped, and Save Changes closed it. The callback
now returns the error, which fails the save, export or file command like a
refused write on the desktop. A timer that can't be set after the download
started is not a failure.
The VPORT view direction fix and its test stay. The Export Strokes as
Centerlines option and the preset button are not in the documented DXF/DWG
export options, so they wait for the owner's decision.
The public 3D and Materials panel options give the Light Settings as
Intensity (0–100 %), Rotation (-180° to 180°), Height (0° to 90°),
Softness (0–100 %) and Ambient Light (0–200 %), with the light moved to
the back or the front of the object. The 3D effects (Revolve included)
had Direction and Elevation (an azimuth and elevation), Intensity and
Ambient (0–100 %).
- Rotation turns the light round the object on the page (our reading:
0° on its right, counterclockwise); Height raises it from beside the
object (0°) to straight in front (90°); Light behind the object puts
it at the back. The light gizmo's ring and line are Rotation and
Height.
- Softness wraps the light round the object: at 0 % it falls off with
the angle as before, at 100 % it reaches nothing only straight away.
- Ambient Light runs to 200 %; faces stay no brighter than the art.
- lightRotation, lightHeight, lightBehind and lightSoftness replace
lightAzimuth and lightElevation. An earlier light is read as the same
direction, so it shades exactly as before (old and new code give the
same colours for the four effects and five lights); effect.setParams
turns a stored one into the new form before applying new values, and
the parameter description names lightAzimuth and lightElevation as the
earlier form, so effect.apply and effect.setParams still take them. The
default light is the earlier default's: Rotation 125.26°, Height 30°.
- The dialog's Lighting tab shows the settings in the documented order;
Softness, Ambient Light and Light behind the object are in every
catalog, and the unused Direction, Elevation and Ambient are gone.
Light colour, presets, several lights and shadows are not built.
The public 3D and Materials panel options give Perspective as 0° to 160°
("how close or far the object appears"); it was a 0–100 % strength, for
Revolve, Extrude & Bevel, Inflate and Rotate alike.
- The eye stands where a sphere about the object's centre, √3 times its
half size (the box around it fits inside), fills that angle of the
view: 0° is none, wider brings the eye nearer, and at 160° it is just
outside the sphere, never inside the object. The documentation doesn't
say how the angle places the eye; docs/three-d.md says this is our
reading.
- `perspectiveAngle` (degrees) replaces `perspective` (%). A strength from
an earlier file or script is read as the angle that shows exactly the
same view: sin(angle / 2) = √3 × strength / 4, 100 % about 51.3°. An
angle given too wins. effect.setParams turns a stored strength into the
angle before applying new values. The parameter description names
`perspective` as the earlier form, so effect.apply and effect.setParams
still take it under the key check of #1592. Old and new code draw the four effects identically at 0, 25,
60 and 100 % (bounds equal to 1e-9).
- The dialogs' Perspective fields run 0–160°.

VectorCraft does not run scripts written for the reference app, and
File › Scripts held only the disabled Other Script…. File › Scripts ›
Check Script… picks a .jsx, .jsxinc or .jsxbin file, reads it without
running any of it, and shows a report: what the script needs (the
script language's own objects, the document model, files, menu
commands, dialogs, or features only the reference app has), what it
would do outside the document, the menu-command strings it passes, the
document-model member chains and type names it uses, its directives,
the files it includes, and the problems that would stop it loading.
Copy Report copies the report as JSON. File › Open and drag-and-drop
show the report for those files too.
- vectorcraft-scriptcheck, a new Standalone crate with no
dependencies, holds the checker: a lexer for ECMAScript 3 with E4X
literals and the #name and //@name directive lines, and an analysis
of the tokens that follows variables, function scopes and the files
a script includes. It never recurses: open brackets, the levels of
an XML literal and the function bodies being read are kept on stacks
capped at 4,096. It reads at most 8 MiB of a file and 32 MiB with the
included files, follows 64 included files 16 deep, looks up at most
1,024 paths for them, keeps 1,000 entries in a list, tracks 1,000
variables holding member chains and 1,000 holding File objects, and
cuts echoed text to 120 characters. A compiled script is reported as
compiled and isn't read.
- script.check (engine, a query) takes path, data or dataBase64. With a
path and includes: true, it reads the files the #include lines name
from inside the script's folder, through the automation read root,
and when the script or one of those files assigns a member chain or a
File object to a variable, the check treats the variable as holding
it in every file. It doesn't follow absolute names, names, folders or
links that lead out of the folder, names or folders longer than 4,096
bytes, or JSINCLUDE, and it reads only regular files.
- ui.checkScript shows the report (dialog scriptCheck). File › Open
lists Scripts (.jsx, .jsxinc, .jsxbin) and sends a script's path to
script.check, which reads at most 8 MiB of it.
The language rules come from ECMA-262 3rd edition and ECMA-357 2nd
edition. The directive, platform and document-model root names come
from the public JavaScript Tools Guide and scripting guide pages that
catalog.rs cites by URL, and executeMenuCommand, doScript, loadAction,
unloadAction and selectTool come from the public forum posts cited
there; only names are used. Every script in the tests is written from
scratch with invented names.

Complete Polish catalog (4,492 rows): every menu string, tl! literal,
plural and status/error message, enforced by the existing completeness
tests (complete_menus, KEEPS_MENU_NAMES, COMPLETE_MESSAGES).
- pl.tsv: clean-room translation from the English meaning, following
common Polish desktop-software conventions (obszar kompozycji for
artboard, obszar roboczy for workspace, obrys, wypełnienie, próbki…)
- plural_polish: one / few (2–4, not 12–14) / many (0, 5–21, 25…)
- every pl-* locale (pl-PL, pl_PL.UTF-8) resolves to it
- tests: Polish plural forms, vocabulary, nested message translation;
Polish letters in the bundled-font coverage test

The public 3D and Materials panel options list Depth, Twist, Taper and Cap
for every 3D type; Inflate had only Depth.
- Twist (0° to 360°) and Taper (1–100 %) turn and scale the back about the
shape's centre, as Extrude & Bevel's do: a puffed back is turned and
lowered in proportion, and the sides follow in slices.
- Cap: Solid closes the back; Hollow leaves it off, so the inflated front is
a shell open behind. The documentation doesn't say what Cap means for
Inflate; this reading is stated in docs/three-d.md.
- The dialog's Object tab shows them in the documented order (Depth, Twist,
Taper, Cap), then Volume and Both sides.
At 0 % volume a twisted, tapered Inflate has the extrusion's outline from
every side (tested).
A twisted, tapered, hollow Inflate draws on the canvas exactly as it
exports, and expands to faces with their own ids (tested). ROADMAP and the
parity pages list the new options; the 3D score stays at ~25 %.
The public 3D and Materials panel options give Twist as up to 360°; it took
-360° to 360°. Values beyond either end now hold at that end (the effect is
a day old, so only fresh files carry a negative twist).
The theme's widget fill matches the dialog background, so the sliders of
Save for Web, the raster export options, Preferences and the opacity
popup showed only their handle. They share one slider widget now, with a
visible rail filled up to the handle.
Selected text in a numeric or text field was drawn in the accent colour on the accent-tinted
selection, in every brightness. The fields that draw their own frame (panel and Control bar fields,
dialog fields, the hex field) now draw it in the strong text colour.
Object > Path > Split Into Grid took a number of rows and columns and one gutter, and split each
selected path on its own. The dialog now has the documented options, the rows beside the columns:
number, height or width, gutter and total, with Add Guides and Preview. Several selected paths
become one grid over them all, painted as the topmost one, as documented.
object.path.splitIntoGrid takes rowGutter and columnGutter (gutter still sets both), totalHeight
and totalWidth, height and width (the size of each row and column, which sets the total) and
addGuides, which adds ruler guides along the row and column edges on the grid's layer.

Bevel Shape, Space, Bevel Inside, Bevel both sides and Presets, as the public 3D and Materials panel
options page names them. The 3D effects' error messages get rows in the twelve complete catalogs.
The three 3D types besides Revolve, as live effects in the three-d crate,
drawn as shaded vector faces by the canvas, SVG/PDF export and Expand
Appearance alike, from the public 3D and Materials documentation:
- Extrude & Bevel: depth (0-2000 pt), twist, taper, solid or hollow caps,
and bevels in six original cross-sections (classic, rounded, cove, step,
ogee) with width, height, repeat, spacing, inside and both sides.
- Inflate: the shape as a membrane under pressure (a Poisson solve held at
zero along the outline and holes), so it rises vertically from the edge
and rounds without creases; volume, depth and both sides. Steep cells
near the outline are refined without cracks.
- Rotate: every fill and stroke turned in 3D and shaded as one plane.
All three share Revolve's view and lighting parameters, the rotation and
light gizmos (turning about the art's centre) and a dialog with Object,
Rotation and Lighting tabs, with Position presets (Front ... Isometric
Bottom, our own values). An object takes one 3D effect. Inflate cuts the
grid cells that straddle a hole's edge with pathops, hence the new
pathops -> three-d layer order.
Docs: docs/three-d.md, mcp.md, and the 3D rows of the parity docs.
A dialog opened by a click is drawn in the frame of that click, and in that
frame egui takes the focus from any field the click missed. The first time a
dialog's window shows, that frame only measures it, so its first field took
the focus a frame later and kept it; every later time the field took it in
the click's frame and lost it at once. The field now takes it the frame after
the click.
A click with the Polar Grid tool opens the shared shape dialog (width, height, concentric and
radial dividers), as the Rectangular Grid tool does, and keeps the divider counts as the tool's
options.
Rarely set fields move into one optional boxed NodeExtras, and large NodeKind payloads (images,
live shapes, blends, envelopes) are boxed. Every object, and every undo step that copies it,
shrinks: a 50k-path move keeps ~24.5 MB per step instead of ~40 MB. Files stay byte-identical
(Node keeps its flat JSON through a borrowed Serialize and a from-wire Deserialize, no flatten),
and loading is slightly faster. Undo and redo reuse their step's size estimate instead of
walking the document again (8.3 -> 5.6 ms for a 50k-path move).

History was limited by step count only; a whole-selection move of 50k paths keeps ~40 MB per
step. Steps now carry a size estimate (only unshared subtrees are visited) and the oldest are
dropped beyond a byte budget, keeping the last 8. Documents entering history drop their id
index, selections are shared between steps, the command journal is bounded (held while an
Action records), and document resources are copy-on-write. Saved files are byte-identical.

Add the Hungarian catalog (4,524 rows): every menu string, every `tl!`
literal, the contextual and `@id` rows, the plurals and the status and
error messages, written from the meaning of the English labels in
general Hungarian vector-illustration vocabulary. Conventions are in the
header of `hu.tsv`.
- Register `hu` ("Magyar") in `i18n::LANGUAGES` as a complete language
with `plural_none` (a count takes the singular); every `hu-*` locale
resolves to it.
- Tests: Hungarian joins the menu-label, menu-string, `tl!`-literal and
message coverage checks; `hungarian_reads_as_hungarian` pins the core
vocabulary, the plural, the `file.close` override and a nested
message; ő ű Ő Ű are checked in the bundled UI fonts.
- README, ROADMAP, docs/development.md and docs/localization-parity.md
list Hungarian.
Localize native/web file filters, diagnostic labels, numbered presets
and contributor tooltips with English fallback and Czech plural forms.
Fix gradient adjective agreement and disambiguate Japanese printer marks
in PDF/Print choices and summaries. Keep file extensions and names intact.
Add Czech catalog rows and regression coverage; update localization evidence.
