LYH Studio episode 6 starts with "Window > Workspace > Essential
Classic" and opens panels with "Window > Color > Gradient & Swatches".
DesignCraft's Window menu had no Workspace or Color submenu (panels sat
in one "Panels" list) and no Essentials Classic workspace.
- Window menu: Arrange, Workspace, then the panels alphabetically with
InDesign's groups (Color: Color, Gradient, Swatches; Editorial;
Interactive; Object & Layout; Output; Styles; Type & Tables;
Utilities). Every panel stays reachable; Next/Previous Document moved
into Arrange.
- Window > Workspace: the built-in workspaces as "[Essentials]", the
current one checked, Reset <current>, New Workspace. The app bar's
switcher uses the same list and order.
- Essentials Classic: the Control panel, no Properties stack, and an
icon column of named panel groups ([Pages, Layers, Links] [Stroke,
Color] [Swatches] [Effects] [Paragraph] [Text Wrap] [Character
Styles, Paragraph Styles] [Gradient]); Window > Pages opens Pages
from its group. Saved workspaces keep the groups.
- Flyouts and floating panels name Pages, Layers and Properties.
- Translations for Editorial, Object & Layout, Styles and Essentials
Classic.

.indd and .indt documents open through File › Open, drop, the web inbox,
file.open, file.openBytes, file.openIdml and the CLI. The engine converts
them to IDML in memory with storytold/indd-utils (pinned by rev, MIT OR
Apache-2.0, no dependencies, builds for wasm) and imports the result
through the existing IDML path. The converter's warnings come first in the
open result's `warnings`, before the IDML importer's and the font
warnings. A file the converter can't read is an open error, shown in the
Can't Open the File alert.
Routing: a path or name ending in .indd/.indt, or bytes starting with the
INDD signature (the web inbox passes the name without its extension).
opens_as_document and the desktop and web Open dialogs list indd/indt.
Tests use synthetic bytes only: signature-bearing junk, a zero-filled
.indd and a short .indt all fail as open errors with no document added;
a dropped unreadable .indd raises the open alert.
(cherry picked from commit bb8a6a23fa)
Table cell paragraphs go through the same run and inline path as body paragraphs, so deleted and moved-from text and field instructions stay out of cells, and field results, tabs and breaks come in.
Word's Normal imports as a paragraph style named Normal whose definition is w:docDefaults with Normal's own properties on top; paragraphs without a style use Word's default paragraph style. A styleMap entry can still map Normal to [Basic Paragraph].
to_bytes returns a Result and every caller propagates it, so a document
that can't be written is an error: the existing file, the unsaved state
and the recovery checkpoint stay. Asset entries near or over 4 GiB are
written with zip64 sizes. On the web, Save marks the document saved only
after the browser download has started.
Fields, buttons and video or sound are collected with the page content's
inclusion rule: the item's layer is visible and printable, and neither the
item nor any group around it is hidden or non-printing.
InDesign's Text Frame Options has a section list (General, Baseline
Options, Column Rules, ...). General holds Columns (Fixed Number / Fixed
Width with Number, Width, Gutter), Balance Columns, Inset Spacing as a
2x2 grid with a link button, Vertical Justification and Ignore Text
Wrap; Baseline Options holds First Baseline Offset and Min. DesignCraft
showed one flat list without the columns type, width, balance, link,
ignore-wrap or baseline settings, although the model keeps them.
- dialogs: a section list (General, Baseline Options, Column Rules);
General as above (Width shows what Fixed Number columns get, editable
for Fixed Width; a side typed while linked sets all four insets);
Baseline Options; Column Rules as before. Enum captions translated.
- OK sends the new fields only when edited, as before.
- engine: `object.textFrameOptions` takes `columnWidth` (Fixed Width)
and `firstBaselineMin`, which compose already honours.
LYH Studio episode 14 sets two columns (9:45) and a 0.1875 in inset
(10:57) here.

- designcraft-color: ICC profiles (built-in RGB working spaces, user .icc files) go through
craft-cms from storytold/craft-libs. The default CMYK working space is craft-cms's Coated
FOGRA39; CMYK swatches show relative colorimetric with the settings' black point
compensation. Generic CMYK and Device CMYK stay selectable. A CMYK profile name resolves
through Builtin::stand_in_for; a name with no stand-in is an UnknownProfile error.
ColorSettings::with_known_profiles replaces unavailable saved names with the defaults; the UI
uses it when it restores saved settings at startup. Lab, gamut error and proofing of ICC CMYK
spaces use craft-cms transforms. The Generic CMYK output profile is encoded by craft-cms.
- designcraft-pdf: the PDF/X output intent is the working CMYK space's profile: the FOGRA39
built-in with identifier FOGRA39, user profiles as loaded, Generic CMYK otherwise.
- moxcms is no longer a direct dependency of designcraft-color.
With a placed graphic selected (Direct Selection, or the content
grabber), the graphic's own brown bounding box has eight handles:
dragging one resizes the image inside its frame (Shift keeps its
proportions, Alt from its centre) and leaves the frame as it is.
- tools: a content-handle hit test on the selected graphic's bounds
(after the frame's anchors under Direct Selection), a ContentResize
drag previewing `transform.set {content, bounds}`, the handle cursors,
and the content ghost while dragging. The frame's handles don't resize
the frame while its graphic is selected.
- engine: `transform.set` takes `bounds` for content: the graphic's new
bounding box on the spread (normalized, never empty).
- canvas: the brown content box gets its handles; the frame's handles
are hidden while the graphic is selected.
(cherry picked from commit 8e0e6c2f2e)
The engine's atomic module keeps its functions and signatures and delegates to craft-libs/craft-atomic (pinned to e9546e19), so every save and export caller is unchanged. write_atomic_with also turns a panicking writer into an error, so its temporary file is removed. Recovery checkpoints and package output keep their own writers, which replace links instead of following them.
On Unix, new files follow the umask and replaced files keep their permissions.
A frame holding items pasted into it (Edit › Paste Into) was drawn by
its own branch in draw_item that skipped every effect: Basic Feather,
Inner Glow, shadows and the rest were stored but never drawn. LYH Studio
episode 14 (11:51) gives the outlined "GET MORE." title, with a photo
pasted into it, an Inner Glow and a Basic Feather.
Such a frame now goes the way of any other object: draw_body draws its
fill, its items clipped to the frame and its stroke, so draw_item_fx
wraps all of it. Its silhouette counts as solid for shadow spread.

A frame holding items pasted into it isn't a group. Ungroup took it
apart like one, leaving its content loose and losing the clipping shape,
and the Properties panel called it "Group" with an Ungroup quick action.
As in InDesign, Ungroup now only takes real groups apart; other objects
stay as they are and stay selected (Ungroup used to clear them from the
selection). Such frames are labelled by their shape (<ellipse>, ...), so
Properties shows "Ellipse" with Convert Shape.
