With the Shape Builder and such a selection, the app also merges off the UI thread: the reply to the events that end a click or drag comes once the merge is applied. A click or drag made before the regions are found does not wait for them; the app records it and makes it once they are found. Until then the canvas keeps drawing, with the touched regions highlighted and the busy pointer. A click or drag sent meanwhile, with `mods.cmd` too, and the Shape Builder's arrow keys are made after the merge in the order sent, and the reply to such a request comes once its events are made and any merge they start is applied; a request of `move` events alone is answered at once.

| `open_file` | `{path, importer?, params?}` | Opens any readable file as a new active document: `.vectorcraft`/`.drawcraft`, `.vctemplate`, `.svg`/`.svgz`, `.pdf`/`.ai`, `.ait`, `.eps`/`.epsf`, `.ps`, `.dxf`, `.emf`, `.wmf`, PNG (`.png`/`.pns`), JPEG, GIF, WebP, TIFF, BMP (`.bmp`/`.dib`/`.rle`), Targa (`.tga`/`.vda`/`.icb`/`.vst`), PCX, Pixar (`.pxr`), JPEG 2000 (`.jpf`/`.jpx`/`.jp2`/`.j2k`/`.j2c`/`.jpc`), HEIC/HEIF (`.heic`/`.heif`), JPEG XL (`.jxl`), PSD (`.psd`/`.pdd`)/PSB (an image opens as a document of its pixel size; a Photoshop file as its merged image; a JPEG XL file as its first frame). Templates (`.vctemplate`, `.ait`) open as a new untitled document. PDF, `.ai` and SVG files saved with Preserve Editing reopen as the document they carry. The reply is `document.open`'s: its `warnings` say what didn't come in as it was (an EPS whose PostScript can't be read opens as its preview, and the warning names the PostScript error, the operator and the procedure). A file of an extension only an installed importer plug-in lists opens with that importer ([Plug-ins](#plug-ins)); `importer: "plugin.<id>"` opens the file with the importer it names, which must list the file's extension, also one a built-in format reads (in the app, as File › Open With does), and `params` gives that importer's parameters (their defaults when omitted). `run_command document.formats` lists the formats. |

| `save_file` | `{path?, compress?, version?, preview?, precision?, options?}` | Runs `document.save`: the document's own file in its own format (native `.vectorcraft` unless it was opened from or saved as SVG, PDF or a restorable `.ai`; then `warnings` say what that format loses). A path's extension picks the format (`.vectorcraft`, `.vctemplate`, `.pdf`, `.svg`, `.svgz`, `.ai`: a PDF carrying the native document, which reopens editable). For a native file, `compress: true` gzips it (default: the `useCompression` preference, Preferences › File Handling › Use Compression), `version` (1 to 4) writes it for an older VectorCraft (1 and 2 are never compressed, and `version: 2` with `compress: true` is an error), `preview: true` embeds a PNG of the first artboard, and `precision` (0 to 9) rounds path anchors and handles to that many decimal places for that save only (colors, transforms and type stay exact). `options` passes the format's save options as `run_command document.formats` lists them. When `compress`, `version`, `preview` or `precision` is given both at the top level and in `options` with different values, the call is an error (`` `compress: true` and `options.compress: false` disagree: give the option once ``) and nothing is written. The save drops each option the written format doesn't read. The reply's `warnings` then name each such option given (for example `` `compress` was not used: SVG files don't read it `` for an `.svg` path, and `` `options.preview` was not used: … `` for a key in `options`; a `.ai` file reads `compress` but not `version`, `preview` or `precision`). `run_command document.save` and the other save commands refuse any option given beside the path and in `options` with different values, and give the same warning for a top-level `compress`, `version`, `preview` or `precision`. The headless session and the app receive the same `app.save` params, and the app is also sent `wait: true`: the call returns once the file is written, or with the error (such as a path outside the write root), even with Background Save on. When the save asks first (the question before replacing a file that opened with losses, or on macOS and Linux the file dialog for an untitled document without `path`), the reply is `{pending}` or `"cancelled"` as before, and the save that runs after the answer uses the Background Save preference. |

The tool's `format` enum and `document.formats` list them, generated from the engine's format table. When `format` is omitted, it comes from the path's extension. PDF and `.ai` write one page per artboard: all of them, or `artboard` (0-based) / `range` (`"1-3, 5"`, 1-based). SVG and SVGZ write one file per chosen artboard. EPS writes one file of the visible art; with `artboard`, `range`, `options.artboards` or `options: {"useArtboards": true}` it writes one file per chosen artboard, after a central file of the visible art when there are two or more, and `useArtboards: false` keeps the one file. Rasters, DXF, EMF and WMF write one artboard, or one file per chosen artboard with `options: {"useArtboards": true}`. Rasters also take `options: {"rect": [x, y, width, height]}` (page points, y down): that area of the page at the given `ppi`/`scale`, without an artboard and without changing the document; it is refused with `artboard`, `artboards`, `range` or `useArtboards`, with a non-positive or non-finite size, and for non-raster formats. `options` carries more format options (e.g. `{"quality": 80}` for JPEG). `selection: true` exports the selected objects cropped to their bounds (the reply adds their `bounds`, and reports `format` and the encoder's `warnings` as a whole-document export does); `outlineText: true` writes SVG text as paths. Template layers are left out, live effects are kept, and exporting `vectorcraft` never changes the document's path. Without `path` the bytes come back as `dataBase64`. Both backends run the same `document.export` call. |

- **`.ai`/EPS type laid out closer to the file's page (#6137):** type from the text document keeps auto leading as auto, each line taking the paragraph's Auto Leading share (key 7) of the largest type on it ([Line and character spacing](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/line-character-spacing.html)); the paragraph's hyphenation options (keys 10 to 15) are read; area type of one frame whose last lines the file sets, but which don't fit here, may get a frame taller from its bottom, by its lines' deepest descent plus 0.05 pt and only when that shows more of those lines and no more than the file has (`vectorcraft_text::fit_source_lines`), with a warning when it does: the frame can stay as it is, or show only some of them; and a line a soft return ends is justified as a wrapped line is, a paragraph's last line keeping its alignment. Evidence: `ate::tests::auto_leading_follows_the_size_of_each_line`, `ate::tests::a_paragraph_keeps_its_auto_leading`, `ate::tests::a_paragraph_keeps_its_hyphenation_options`, `ate::tests::the_last_lines_the_file_sets_in_its_frame_show`, `tests::fit_source_lines_keeps_the_last_lines_the_source_sets`, `tests::typo::soft_return_in_justified_text_spreads_like_a_wrapped_line`. Limits: frames grow only for area type of one frame, horizontal, by its lines' deepest descent plus 0.05 pt; type in a font that isn't installed, and hyphenation in a language that isn't imported, still lay out differently. Scores unchanged.

- **Selected Grid Repeat handles (#2691):** `tools/src/repeat_grid.rs` tests place the handles outside the grid at zoom 0.5, 1 and 4, preview rows, columns and spacing, leave no undo step for a drag that ends where it began, and give bounding-box handles priority; a headless canvas regression drags the row handle two tiles down in a zoomed view (3 → 5 rows, the source unchanged, one Undo back) and the column-spacing slider. Scores and hours unchanged.
|
||||
- **Selected Mirror Repeat handles:** a headless canvas regression creates the default mirror repeat and drags its Top bounding-box handle where the axis crosses it; the repeat grows vertically while its width stays fixed. Existing mirror-axis checks cover center movement and end-handle hit priority. The focused UI mirror tests pass. Scores and hours unchanged.
|
||||
- **Transform effect options (#885):** Effect › Distort & Transform › Transform… has visible Transform Objects, Transform Patterns and Scale Strokes & Effects checkboxes (`distort.transform` params `objects`, `patterns`, `strokes`; files without them draw as before). With Transform Objects off the geometry stays and makes no copies; Scale Strokes & Effects scales stroke weights, dashes and the fills' and strokes' effect distances by the mean scale, and Transform Patterns moves pattern tiles, each copy `k` by the transformation `k` times. Such objects draw, export and expand through the same per-copy art, so the canvas and Expand Appearance agree (engine `tests_transformfx`, effects `tests_transformfx`, the dialog test). A Transform effect in a fill's or stroke's own effects applies the same options to that fill or stroke: its weight and dashes, the distances of its later effects and its pattern follow the transformation, and with copies each copy is an object of its own; the canvas, export, Expand Appearance and Use Preview Bounds use the same art (effects `tests_transformfx`). Not yet: object effects after a Transform effect keep their distances. Public reference: [Scale objects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/reshape-transform-objects/scale-objects.html), [How to apply effects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/effects.html), [Distort and transform effects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/reshape-transform-objects/distort-and-transform-effects-in-illustrator.html).

The layout is VectorCraft's own: the set's name, then the Tools and Menu Commands rows in the dialog's order, each with its name, a tab and its shortcuts as the dialog shows them, and nothing after the tab for a row with no shortcut. Tests `shortcut_editor::tests::export_text_*` and `tests::picks::keyboard_shortcuts_export_text_writes_the_working_set_as_text`.

- On Windows and Linux the app bar is the window's title bar (its own minimize, maximize and close buttons, drag to move, edges to resize), with the dragon app icon as the brand mark; dialogs and menus size to their content. As on a native menu bar, once one menu is open, moving the pointer onto another title opens that one.
|

- On Linux and the BSDs, Preferences › User Interface › VectorCraft Title Bar on Every Desktop (off by default) uses the app bar as the title bar from the next start in the sessions where the desktop would draw the window's frame (X11, Wayland compositors with server-side decorations such as KDE Plasma, a window opened through XWayland). System Title Bar and `VECTORCRAFT_TITLEBAR` take precedence over it, and `VECTORCRAFT_TITLEBAR` also takes precedence over System Title Bar for the run it is set in.

A menu command with no default shortcut that needs a value a key press does not give, such as File › Document Setup › Units (`document.setUnits {units}`), is listed only while the user has changed its shortcut. A command stays listed when a menu bar item runs it without a value or when it opens a dialog run without one, as the Variables panel's commands do.
