Without a native picker the Import… message told users to give ALIASEDIT a
path, but the web has no file system and rejects paths. Name the supported
route instead: the file's contents in ALIASEDIT's text parameter. The
Ukrainian reference translation and the customization docs follow the new
wording; the desktop picker path is unchanged.
* cli: act on a handle an earlier --cmd returned ({last}) (#1663)
A run's --cmd steps were independent: mview answered {"viewports":["100"]}
but viewport.set could not use that handle, so it failed with "no viewport
given".
The batch runner now remembers the last object handle a --cmd returned (the
strings in its result that name an entity of the active drawing, so counts and
names are not mistaken for handles). A parameter value of exactly {last} in a
later --cmd, at any depth, is replaced with it; every other value is passed
through unchanged. With no handle yet the run fails with a clear error instead
of passing a bad handle to the command.
Fixes#1663
* cli: keep {last} to the drawing and handle fields that returned it
Read handles only from result handle fields, never arbitrary strings: a group named like another object's handle is a name, not a reference. Clear the remembered handle when new, open, document.switch (or a script running one) makes another drawing current, and keep a handle the new drawing's own command returns.
A short guide for people porting add-ons: what runs today (LISP routines
and startup files, .scr scripts, .pgp alias files, the JSON control
channel, MCP, cadcraft-cli), what doesn't yet (Visual LISP ActiveX, DCL,
reactors, compiled plug-ins), and where each is documented. The README's
automation section links to it.
