document.exportForWeb renders the artboard or the art and writes GIF,
JPEG, PNG-8 or PNG-24 files. When the art held an image that the
renderer could not decode, the renderer drew nothing for it, and the
files lacked the image with no message: the reply had no warnings at
all. A raster export of the same art warns that "an image couldn't be
decoded and is missing from the picture".
document.exportForWeb and document.exportForWeb.preview now compare
decode_failures before and after they render, as raster exports do,
and their replies carry that text in `warnings`. The files are still
written. Save, Download and Preview in Browser in the Save for Web
dialog show the first warning in the status bar as Save As shows a
save's notes.

charStyle.new and paraStyle.new kept the name they were given as it
was, while charStyle.rename and paraStyle.rename trim the white space
around the new name. So a script could make a style " Body" beside
"Body", and a blank name was refused with the message for a name that
is taken.
New Character Style and New Paragraph Style now trim the name as rename
does, compare the trimmed name with the styles there are, and refuse a
name that is then empty with rename's message. Duplicate names the copy
from the trimmed name. symbol.new and symbol.duplicate trim the name as
symbol.options trims newName, and a blank newName gives "<name> copy"
instead of a symbol named with the blank. library.use adds a library's
text style under its trimmed name, so a library file whose style is
named with spaces around it still applies.

The Tabs panel menu passed false as each item's enabled argument and
its condition as the checked argument, so Clear All Tabs, Delete Tab
and Repeat Tab were always dimmed and, with a stop selected, showed a
check mark.
The three items are now enabled while the ruler shows tab stops and
show no check mark. Delete Tab and Repeat Tab act on the stop the ruler
shows selected. After Delete Tab removes the last stop, the ruler shows
the stop before it selected, and the next Delete Tab removes that one.
Clear All Tabs runs text.tabs.clear on the paragraphs the panel acts
on, so its undo step is named Clear All Tabs.

brush.new, brush.duplicate, object.pattern.make,
object.pattern.saveCopy, artboard.new and artboard.setProps kept the
name they were given as it was, and brush.options and pattern.options
kept the white space around a new name. So a script could make a brush
" Nib" beside "Nib", and a blank name made a brush, a pattern or an
artboard named with the blank. Artboard Options sends its Name field
as typed, so clearing it named the artboard "". The Brush Options
dialog, the Pattern Options panel and the Artboards panel trim the
names they send.
The eight commands now trim the name, and the brush and pattern
commands compare the trimmed name with the names there are. In
brush.new, brush.duplicate, object.pattern.make,
object.pattern.saveCopy and artboard.new, a blank name gives the name
the command gives when there is none: "New Calligraphic Brush" and the
other default brush names, "<name> copy", "New Pattern N",
"<pattern> copy" and "Artboard N". brush.options and pattern.options
keep the name when the new one is blank, and artboard.setProps gives a
blank one the artboard's default name, Artboard N for the Nth
artboard. Duplicate Brush and Save a Copy name the copy of a brush or
pattern whose saved name has white space around it from the trimmed
name (" Old " gives "Old copy").

Edit › Undo and Edit › Redo translated the step's name with its plain
catalog row only. Nine of the 22 catalogs have no plain row for
Feather, only the effect's menu row with an ellipsis, so in Japanese
Edit › Undo read "Featherを取り消す" after Feather while the History
panel listed the step as ぼかし.
The menu now names the step with panels::history::step_name, as the
History panel does, and keeps the name as recorded when the catalog
has no row for it. The in-window and native menus both show the new
label.

A bounding-box handle dragged with the Selection or Free Transform tool
snapped only with Smart Guides on, and then only to the other objects
and the artboards. View > Snap to Grid, Snap to Pixel, Snap to Point
with Smart Guides off and the ruler guides did not move it, while a
move snaps to all of them.
The corner or side a handle moves now snaps as a dragged point does.
With Snap to Grid on it lines up with the nearest gridline, and with
Snap to Pixel on it lines up with whole pixels. With Smart Guides off,
Snap to Point lands it on the other objects' anchors and on ruler
guides within its distance. With Smart Guides and Snap to Point both
on, it lines up with the ruler guides as well as with the other
objects. Shift still keeps the proportions. Without Alt the opposite
side stays put, and with Alt the box still scales about its center.

On a Wayland session a drawing tablet's pen could not draw or click:
winit 0.30 does not bind the Wayland tablet protocol, and neither KWin
(since Plasma 6.3) nor GNOME's Mutter turns tablet input into pointer
input. Linux Display Server's X11 (XWayland) choice let the pen work as
a mouse, but it opened the window through XWayland on every start, also
without a tablet.
Linux Display Server has a third choice, X11 (XWayland) When a Pen Is
Attached (x11WithPen). It opens the window through XWayland on a
Wayland session only when /proc/bus/input/devices lists a pen as the
app starts: a device with the BTN_TOOL_PEN key and the ABS_X and ABS_Y
axes, the check PhotoCraft's tablet.rs makes. Automatic stays the
default. On Linux the Performance page shows a note for tablet pens
that don't draw.
README.md named KDE alone; the KWin commit's message says Mutter does
not emulate tablet events either, so README.md and docs/development.md
now name GNOME. The Pen pressure row of docs/hardware-parity.md said
Linux has pressure through XWayland; winit 0.30 reports none on X11
either.

On a machine busy with other builds, five tests on main failed now and
then and passed when run alone. The canvas test for dragging an object
with raster effects gave the render worker 10 s for its frame, which
took 0.10 s alone and 5.8 to 9.4 s with four ui-egui test runs at
once. The three tests_sysclip_probe tests gave the clipboard probe's
thread 2 or 3 s. The control server's persistent-requests test sent
each request with writeln!, which sends the JSON to the socket in many
small writes, and a pause of more than the test's 120 ms line deadline
between two of them closed the connection.
The canvas test now waits up to 60 s for the worker, as another test in
canvas.rs does. The probe tests wait up to 60 s too. The control server
test sends each request line in one write and keeps its 120 ms line
deadline. Only test code changes.
dataset.import refused every header cell that wasn't the name of a
variable the document defines. A data source file could only fill
variables made beforehand, and `#` and `@` in a header were read as part
of a variable's name.
A header cell that names no variable now defines a new, unbound
variable in the import's undo step. `#Shown` defines a visibility
variable `Shown`, `@Photo` defines an image variable `Photo`, and a
cell without a prefix defines a text variable. A prefixed cell whose
name is already a variable of the prefix's kind names it. A cell that
is a variable's exact name keeps naming it, even when the name starts
with `#`, `@` or `%`, so files that dataset.export writes import back
as before. The import fails, naming the column, on a prefixed cell
whose name is a variable of another kind and on a `%` cell that names
no variable (graph data files). While the variables are locked, a
header that would define a variable fails the import with "variables
are locked", as New Variable does. The reply's `defined` lists the new
variables.

Save for Office Documents, the pictures that css.export rasterizes and
the PNG and PDF that Copy offers other apps were encoded with
fileio::encode, which drops the encoder's warnings. When the art held
an image that the renderer could not decode, the PNGs lacked it; type
in a font that is not installed came out in the fallback font in the
Office PNG and Copy's PNG and PDF. No reply or status message said so.
The app also dropped the warnings that document.exportSelection
returns.
document.exportForOffice, clipboard.exportPng and clipboard.exportPdf
now return `warnings`, and css.export adds the notes of its pictures to
its `warnings`, each once. Save for Office Documents and
document.exportSelection show the first note in the status bar in Save
As's message, and the CSS Properties panel's Export Selected CSS… and
Export All… show it in Export As's message. After Copy or Cut, once
the PNG and PDF are on the system clipboard, the status bar shows their
first note. The files are written as before.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Clipboard, CSS Properties), docs/control-protocol.md.
Export for Screens wrote each file with fileio::encode, which drops the
encoder's warnings, and its replies had no `warnings` key. When the art
held an image that the renderer could not decode, or type in a font
that is not installed, the files lacked the image or used the fallback
font, and neither the reply nor the status bar said so. document.export
returns the same notes in `warnings`, and Export As shows the first in
the status bar.
document.exportForScreens and assets.export now collect the warnings of
every file they export, each once, and every reply carries them in
`warnings`. The export still writes or returns every file. When there
are warnings, the Export for Screens dialog and the Asset Export panel
show the first in the status bar as Save As shows a save's notes.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Export for Screens), docs/control-protocol.md.
Export for Screens, Batch over data sets, Save for Web and the
Libraries panel name files after text the person typed: a prefix, a
suffix, a name pattern, the name of an artboard, asset, layer, slice,
data set or library, or the document's title. The prefix, the suffix,
name patterns and Batch's data set names had only /, \ and : replaced,
so on Windows a name holding <, >, ", |, ?, * or a control character
failed to save, and Save for Web without a path named its files after
the document's title as it was. A row folder name could end in a
period, which Windows does not allow, and names such as CON, NUL, COM1
or LPT1, which Windows reserves for devices, were written as they
were.
file_part, which Export for Screens' prefix and suffix and Batch's
data set names use, now writes all of those characters as -, and name
patterns use it in place of their own copy. A new safe_file_name runs
a whole file or folder name through file_part, removes trailing
periods and spaces, and adds - after a device name that is the whole
name or comes before its first period (CON.png becomes CON-.png).
Export for Screens uses it for each file, folder and zip it names, and
keeps item names distinct after it. Save for Web uses it for slice
images and, without a path, for files named after the title. Library
files use it too. This happens on every platform. Other names are
written as before, except where a changed name now equals another
item's name, which then gets a number added.

With Rust 1.95, the workspace's rust-version, cargo clippy --workspace
--all-targets -- -D warnings stopped at vectorcraft-effects: clippy 1.95
reports nonminimal_bool on the parameter and pixel-size guards of
Cutout, Poster Edges and Neon Glow, and on the size check in
Rasterize::compose (Effect › Rasterize). Clippy 1.99 does not report
them.
Each check now has the form clippy suggests, one !(a && b && ...) in
place of !a || !(b && c) (!a || !b || !(c && d) in compose). The
operands and their order are unchanged, so the filters and compose
return early in the same cases as before.
New tests check that the three filters leave the art unchanged for a
pixel size of 0, -1, NaN or infinity and for non-finite parameters,
and that compose leaves the raster unchanged when a buffer's length
does not match its size or the image's area has no positive width or
height.
When zoomed in, an object with a texture, a blur or a shadow was slow
to drag. Filtered content whose on-screen area passes the 8.4 million
pixel raster budget keeps no raster, and a shadow or glow larger than
4 million pixels keeps none either, so every frame of the drag ran the
effects again over up to 8.4 million pixels. A drag that scales or
rotates an object runs them again at any zoom.
The canvas now renders a tool's drag with RenderOptions::dragging. In
such a frame the renderer draws filtered content within 1,000,000
pixels, at a lower resolution where it would need more, unless it can
draw the content from an earlier frame's raster. On the multithreaded
pipeline it does the same for drop shadows, outer glows and inner
glows. No raster made that way is kept. They count as moved rasters,
so a raster made over them is made again after the drag, and the
desktop canvas renders the frame after the drag on the render worker.
That frame renders them as a still frame does. A dialog's preview,
exports and printing render as before.
zoomed_drag_perf times a drag's frames at 100% to 6400% with and
without dragging.

With Override Save or Override Export on, action.batch named each
step's file in the destination folder with the step's format exactly as
written. The save and export commands read the format in any case and
with a leading dot, so a step with "format": ".svg" wrote
"Untitled_a..svg", "SVG" wrote ".SVG", "png8" wrote ".png8" and
"template" wrote ".template".
The file now ends in the format's extension: the extension as written,
in lower case and without the dot, when it is one of the format's
(".JPEG" gives ".jpeg"), and otherwise the format's first extension, the
one Export and Save use for a file name ("png8" gives ".png", "template"
gives ".vctemplate"). An unknown format ("xyz") keeps its spelling, and
the step fails with the command's error as before.

When a .ai or EPS opens from its editing data and its layers draw a
little differently from the file's own page, the warning gave the share
of all the pixels that differ, type included, and blamed brush strokes
and live effects. Type that the import lays out again from the file's
text, or draws in another font, raised it on its own: a line that the
page sets in pieces gave "about 1.5% of it (brush strokes, live effects
and the like ...)" with no art differing.
The comparison now also counts the pixels that differ away from type.
The warning gives that share, and when the art away from type does not
differ by more than the warning's limit, the warning names the type
instead. The warning appears in the same cases as before, and the
limits that make the file come in as its page are unchanged.

With the Artboard tool in use, Ctrl/Cmd+A after a click on a row of the
Artboards panel selected all the art. The panel now takes the keyboard
when one of its rows is clicked, as the Layers panel does for Delete,
and gives it up when the pointer is pressed outside its list or the
panel is not drawn.
While it has the keyboard and the Artboard tool is in use, Select All's
keys, and Select All in the macOS menu bar, select every artboard: the
active artboard stays active and the art's selection does not change.
Otherwise Select All still selects the art.

The History panel menu held only a disabled History Options… item. The
reference app's History panel menu has Step Backward and Step Forward,
which undo and redo a change, and Set History Limit, which sets the
number of History States.
The panel menu now has Step Backward and Step Forward. They run
edit.undo and edit.redo, and each is disabled when there is no step to
undo or redo, as Edit › Undo and Edit › Redo are. Set History Limit…
opens Preferences at Performance, where History States is set.

Renaming a saved PDF preset (pdf.preset.save with newName) removed
the old file from the PDF Presets folder before it wrote the new one.
When that write failed, for example on a full disk, the folder held no
file for the preset, and the preset was gone at the next start.
The store now writes the new file first and removes the old one only
when that write succeeded. A failed write leaves the preset in the
folder under its old name. A rename that changes only the case of the
name writes the old file and then renames it, and the old file gets
its content back when the rename fails. The command still succeeds
when the folder can't be written, and the failure is logged, as
before.
File > Place could not place a Word document: a .docx file was "not a
format VectorCraft reads". The reference app's File > Place reads
Microsoft Word files as text.
File > Place now reads .docx files, written from ECMA-376 Part 1
(WordprocessingML, Transitional and Strict), and sets their text as
area type the way a text or RTF file is placed. The package is read
through its relationships. The formatting comes from the document
defaults, the paragraph style (else the default paragraph style), the
character style (else the default character style), the styles each
is based on, and direct formatting. Bold, italic, caps, small caps,
strikethrough and hidden text are toggle properties: a style that
turns one on reverses the state the styles before it give.
Each run keeps its font (theme fonts from the theme part), size, bold
and italic, underline, strikethrough, all caps, small caps,
superscript or subscript (in Document Setup's proportions), raised or
lowered text and color. Each paragraph keeps its alignment, start,
end, first-line and hanging indents, space before and after, and
direction; the start indent of a right-to-left paragraph is its right
indent. Table cells are separated by tabs and each table row is a
paragraph. Text in insertions, hyperlinks, content controls and
fields' results is read. Hidden and deleted text, field instructions,
pictures, text boxes, headers, footers, notes and list numbers are
left out.
A ZIP archive named .docx, or one that holds word/document.xml, is
read as a Word document. fileio/zip.rs gains a reader for stored and
deflated files that checks each file's CRC. A package with more than
10,000 files, a part that unpacks to more than 16 MiB or nests
elements more than 256 deep, and a document with more than 4 MiB of
text or 100,000 paragraphs or runs are refused with an error. The
Place dialog lists Word files, and file.place, file.place.info and
file.place.queue report the format `docx`. .doc files are still not
read.
The Word document tests in tests_textimport.rs fail without the
change, and text_import_fuzz.rs places random and damaged packages.

1-bit TIFFs compressed with CCITT Group 3 did not open, place or
relink: the image decoder reads Group 4 only and refuses Compression 2
(modified Huffman) and Compression 3 (ITU-T T.4).
They are now decoded with hayro-ccitt, the CCITT decoder that EPS
import uses. Compression 2 rows start at a byte and have no EOL codes.
Compression 3 rows follow an EOL code and are one-dimensional, or, with
T4Options bit 0, one- or two-dimensional as each row's tag bit says.
Fill bits, FillOrder 2, either PhotometricInterpretation, strips and
tiles are read.
A file whose pixels would take more than the decoding allowance as
RGBA is refused as too large to draw. A strip or tile whose data ends
before its last row is refused as damaged, and so is a tile larger
than the allowance. The strips and tiles together are read from at
most as many bytes as the file holds.

A Shaper Group keeps its original shapes as a transparent first child.
Clicks skip them outside Construction mode, but a marquee did not: one
drawn over the outline of an original shape whose face the group had
erased selected the group, where nothing is shown. Group Selection's E
marquee selected an original shape that lay inside it, and Direct
Selection's marquee and clicks selected the anchor points of the
original shapes.
The marquee now skips a Shaper Group's original shapes with the same
check clicks use, which moves into shaper_hides, and Direct Selection's
walk over the art it can pick skips them too. In Construction mode, with
the original shapes isolated, the marquee still selects them and Direct
Selection still selects their anchor points.

Optical Margin Alignment was stored and set per text object, so the
frames of one thread could differ. Turning it on in the first frame of
a thread left the lines in the other frames flush with their margins.
Type › Optical Margin Alignment and type.opticalMarginAlignment now set
every frame of a selected frame's thread, in one undo step, and the
reply's ids list them all. After any edit to a thread, its frames take
the setting of the frame that the edit turned on or off, else the
first frame's. Threading frames gives the thread its first frame's
setting, and frames taken out of a thread keep it. A file whose frames
of one thread differ opens with the first frame's setting in all of
them. This holds for native files and for documents restored from the
editing copy that an EPS, SVG, PDF or .ai file carries.
Threading text from an out port into existing area type
(text.thread.add with to) now flows the story into that frame at once.
Before, the story reached it only at the next edit of one of the
thread's frames.

A .vectorcraft file's type opened with the character and paragraph
values it held. With a size of 0, the characters were not drawn. With
a size, leading, horizontal scale, left indent or space before of
1.797e308, point type's bounds were infinite or over 1e308 wide or
high, and moving or scaling it failed with "result would exceed the
canvas".
These values are now read into range when a file opens, in the type of
the layers, symbols, graph designs, patterns and the pattern definition
that Cancel puts back in pattern editing mode, and in character and
paragraph styles. A size, horizontal scale or vertical scale of 0 or
less becomes 12 pt or 100%, and a negative leading becomes Auto. A
size, leading or scale past 4,000,000 (MAX_COORD) becomes 4,000,000,
and a baseline shift, indent or space before or after past 4,000,000
either way becomes 4,000,000 or -4,000,000. A tab stop is kept to the
0 to 100,000 pt that text.tabs.set takes. A leading of 0, which legacy
.ai import stores, and the sizes, scales and indents within these
limits that SVG, PDF and .ai import keep outside the panels' ranges
open as saved.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Paragraph attributes per paragraph).
document.setup accepts a superscript and subscript size of 1 to 500%
and a position of -500 to 500%, and a small caps size of 1 to 200%.
text.setFormat copies these proportions into the characters it
formats. A .vectorcraft file's characters, character styles and graph
label styles opened with the proportions they held. With a superscript
size of 0, the superscript characters were not drawn, and with a
superscript or small caps size of 1.797e308, moving the type failed
with "result would exceed the canvas".
These proportions are now read as the nearer end of each range when a
file opens: in the type of the layers, symbols, graph designs, patterns
and the pattern definition that Cancel puts back in pattern editing
mode, in graph label styles and in character styles. Proportions in
range and the other character attributes open as saved.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Small Caps, Superscript and Subscript).
