Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (11:00–
13:30) drags guides out of the rulers with the Page tool on a
guide-based page: "these guides are a little bit different... they are a
dashed line, a cyan dashed line" - liquid guides, which let the objects
they cross stretch with the page. DesignCraft drew liquid guides dashed
and applied them, but a guide could only become liquid through the
Liquid Layout panel's list: ruler drags always made ruler guides.
- canvas: with the Page tool, a page guide dragged from a ruler is a
liquid guide; its preview is dashed while it's dragged.
- engine: guide.add takes `liquid`.

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (6:32–
9:58) clicks an object with the Page tool on an object-based page and
gets InDesign's on-canvas liquid controls: a pin outside each edge
("Object is pinned relative to the page edge. Click to release.") and a
padlock on the width and height lines ("The object's width is locked.
Click to let the object change width as the page changes width."). The
pins and resize settings existed (liquid.object, the Liquid Layout
panel) but the canvas showed none of it.
- tools: on an object-based page a Page tool click selects the object
with its page (layout.selectPage takes `ids`); its pins (14 px outside
each edge's middle) and width/height locks (beside the centre) toggle
liquid.object on click, show InDesign's tooltips on hover and a hand
cursor.
- canvas: LiquidPins (orange dashed width/height lines with padlocks,
open when the object follows the page; hollow pins, or a line to the
page edge when pinned) and Tip overlays; tooltip translations.
Builds on the Page tool PR (#862).

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (1:02–
2:06, 13:47) sizes pages from the Control panel with the Page tool
selected: X/Y, W/H, the page-size preset ("US Business Card"),
orientation, Liquid Page Rule ("Controlled by Parent"), Objects Move with
Page and Show Parent Page Overlay. DesignCraft's Control panel showed the
(empty) object controls.
- ui: with the Page tool, the Control panel shows the selected page (or
the page in view): the reference point (W/H, preset and orientation
keep it in place via layout.pageSize's anchor), X/Y (read-only),
W/H, the preset dropdown, portrait/landscape, Liquid Page Rule, Objects
Move with Page (always on: pages don't move within spreads yet) and
Show Parent Page Overlay.
- doc: LiquidRule::ControlledByParent (the parent page's rule, Off
without one; resolved by liquid::effective_rule); Page.show_parent_overlay.
- engine: layout.pageOptions {pages, showParentOverlay}; liquid.pageRule
takes controlledByParent.
- canvas: the parent page's size over a page with the overlay on.
- Liquid Layout panel and Control panel share InDesign's rule list
(Off, Scale, Re-center, Object-based, Guide-based, Controlled by
Parent); "US Business Card" preset; translations.
Builds on the Page tool PR (#862) for the selected page.

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (0:42–
2:06) selects a page with the Page tool, gets its bounding box with
handles, drags a handle (the page springs back: a liquid-rule preview),
holds Option to really resize it, Shift for proportions, and reads the
size in a tooltip by the cursor. DesignCraft's Page tool only opened a
generic Page Size dialog on click.
- tools: the Page tool selects the page under a click (none on the
pasteboard); the selected page shows its outline, eight handles and
its liquid page rule ("Scale", "Object-Based"…) above it. Dragging a
handle previews layout.pageSize (the liquid rule re-flows the
objects) and springs back on release; Alt resizes, Shift keeps the
proportions; a W/H readout follows the pointer; resize cursors on the
handles. Double-click a page for the Page Size dialog.
- doc: Selection.page (the Page tool's page); engine: layout.selectPage
(no undo step).
- layout.pageSize `anchor` (0-8): the page grows away from the
reference point and its objects and guides keep their place relative
to it (a handle drag anchors the opposite edge); liquid rules work
from that.
- canvas: PageHandles and Tag overlays; translations for the tags and
the Resize Page undo label.

The cross-reference index composed its destination stories through
the cache. One with a running header asked for the running-header
index, which composed the story holding the cross-reference, which
asked for the cross-reference index again: the stack overflowed and
the app aborted. Destination stories with a running header are now
composed without it, like those with cross-references already were.
File times are whole seconds (as in Data Merge's fingerprint), so a
same-size change saved within the same second as the last check kept
both size and time, and the Links panel said OK. A size and time are now
only remembered (on place, update, relink, and in the session's check
cache) once the file has been unchanged for two seconds; a file changed
more recently is checked by content on each poll. Found by the Update
Link dialog test, which rewrites a file within the same second; the
polling test now also changes a file twice in one second.

The Links panel lists links about twice a second, and each listing
hashed every linked text file. A linked text file now also remembers
its modification time (as Data Merge does for its source, through the
same size-and-time fingerprint): while size and time match, it isn't
read. A different size is Modified without reading. When only the time
changed, the content hash still decides (a file saved or synced again
without changes stays OK), and the session remembers that check by
size and time, so the next poll doesn't read the file again. Update and
Relink record the size and time from before their read. Test: polls of
an unchanged file don't read it (it is made unreadable), a touched but
unchanged file is read once and stays OK, a changed file is Modified.

InDesign's Effects dialog sets an Inner Glow's blend Mode (Screen by
default) and Technique (Softer or Precise), and a Basic Feather's Choke
and Corners (Sharp, Rounded, Diffused). LYH Studio episode 14 shows them
at 12:05–12:20 (Screen 75 %, Softer, 0.25 in; 0.0625 in, Diffused).
- doc: InnerGlow.mode and .technique (GlowTechnique), Effects.
feather_options (FeatherOptions: choke %, FeatherCorners), with
InDesign's defaults; old documents read as before.
- render: the glow uses its mode; Precise keeps it nearer the edge; the
feather's choke shortens the fade, Sharp and Rounded corners follow
the shape more tightly or softly than Diffused (unchanged, so the
goldens stay).
- render fix: an inner glow's (and a bevel's) blend mode was applied
inside the clip layer, against its empty backdrop, so Screen and
Multiply acted as Normal; the blend layer now wraps the finished edge
and mixes with the object below.
- engine: choke clamped to 0–100; the params documented.
- Effects dialog: Mode and Technique on Inner Glow; Choke and Corners on
Basic Feather; strings translated.
Builds on #643 (the Effects dialog).
