A group (`u`), clipping group (`q`) or compound path (`*u`) opened after
the last layer and never closed was accepted, and the art inside it was
dropped without a message. The reader now stops with "it ends inside a
group or compound path", as it already does for data that ends inside a
layer. Pattern and symbol definitions, which are read inside a group of
their own, are not affected.
Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts listed commands whose params are all optional
but that do nothing or fail when a key runs them with none, such as
Transparency (transparency.set) and Opacity Mask Options
(transparency.setOpacityMask). These are now left out while they have
no shortcut, along with Align and Distribute, Delete Swatch, Move
Swatch, Spot Options, Adjust Color Balance, the library and data set
loaders, stroke.set, layer.setProps and menu queries that no menu item
runs. A key saved for one of them before keeps it listed so it can be
cleared.
A shortcut for a command whose menu bar items all give it the same
params now runs what a click on that item runs, so Clean Up..., Print
Ink Fixes... and Find and Replace... open their dialogs.
`ui.actionSet.delete` now moves the panel's selected action down with its
set, and clears it when its set is deleted. Before, the stored set and
action indexes stayed as they were, so a set made later at the deleted
set's index, and an action recorded into it, showed as selected, and
Action Options… renamed that action.
The panel menu read the stored (set, action) pair without checking that
its set is still the current one, as the panel and Delete Selection do.
After `ui.actionSet.delete` removed a set above it, the pair pointed at
another set's action, and Action Options…, Batch… and Play Current
Selection acted on that action. They are now off until an action of the
current set is selected.
The dialog's fields choose what OK does, as they choose its heading. A
`set` or `action` field that `ui.dialog.set` changed to null or to an
index past the last set or action is now an error: OK renames no set or
action, adds no set, and the dialog stays open. Before, an Action Options
dialog whose `action` was null renamed the set instead.
Action Options… opens the New Set and Set Options dialog, headed Action
Options, with the selected action's name; OK renames the action and keeps
its steps. The new command ui.action.rename {set, action, name} does the
rename and refuses an index past the last set or action or an empty name.
Part of #1629.
The Actions panel did not save which set was current, so after a restart
Begin Recording put the new action into the first set (Default Actions)
instead of the set the user had picked. The current set is now saved
with the UI preferences as an index into the saved sets; a value that is
not an index, or is past the last set, leaves no set current.
With no set current, Begin Recording records into the first set as
before, and now makes that set current so the panel shows where the
recording goes.
The place below the text was taken even when the text was panned above
the canvas, which put the panel above the main window. It is now taken
only when it is at or below the window's top. A docked Tabs panel is
measured at the 360-point height it floats at, not 240, so it is placed
below the text only when it fits there.
With no room above the text, the panel went to the top of the main
window's content and could cover the text. It now goes just below the
text when it fits there in the canvas, and at the window's top only when
it does not.
With text near the top of the window, Position Panel Above Text put the
panel, and its OS window, above the main window's content and could put
the bar above every screen. The panel now goes no higher than the top of
the main window's content.
Position Panel Above Text moved a floating Tabs panel only in the layout's
in-window rect. On desktop builds a floating panel is an OS window, which
moves only when its desktop rect changes, so the panel stayed where it
was and the layout followed it back on the next frame. A docked panel
floated above the text as expected.
place_floating now also sets the window's desktop rect, from the main
window's content origin, when the panel's window already has one.
A graph in a legacy .ai, or in a current file's editing data, is written
as `%_Gs`, its data and settings on `%_` lines, its drawn art in a group
with a `%_... Go` tag after each object, and `%_GS`. The reader stopped
on the graph operators as ones it doesn't know, so such a file did not
open through its layers.
The reader now leaves the graph's records out with their operands and
reads the drawn art as usual: the bars, lines and labels come in as the
groups, paths and type they are written as. Paint operators on `%_`
lines between `Gt` and `GT` set nothing. One note per file says the
graphs came in as plain art without their data or settings. A graph
that starts inside another, or doesn't end before its layer does, keeps
the art read so far with a second note. Graph operators outside a graph
stay unknown.
Headless tests cover a double-click on a symbol in Thumbnail View and List View, the panel
menu's Edit Symbol with and without a selected instance, the Control bar's Edit Symbol button,
and the Control bar's Exit Symbol Editing Mode and Exit Isolation Mode buttons inside the
symbol's art. The panel's module comment now says a double-click opens the symbol in symbol
editing mode, and docs/mcp.md lists symbol.edit's ids parameter.
Horizontal Scale and Vertical Scale accept any number above 0 and at most 4000000 %, and Baseline Shift accepts -4000000 to 4000000 pt, the limits the document model keeps a character style in. Character Rotation is stored from -180 to 180 degrees, as text.setFormat stores it. A scale outside its limit shows the new message "{label} must be a number above 0 and at most {max}", translated in every catalog that has Basic Character Formats.
Character Style Options and New Character Style get an Advanced
Character Formats section with Horizontal Scale, Vertical Scale,
Baseline Shift, Character Rotation and Language. Empty fields stay
unset, an explicit 100%, 0 degrees or English: USA stays distinct from
unset, and Reset Panel on the section clears only these five. Scales
take 1% to 10000% and baseline shift -1296 pt to 1296 pt, as
text.setRangeStyle does; rotation is stored from -180 to 180 degrees.
Language sets the language the characters are shaped in; hyphenation
and spelling do not change.
A field still as it opened keeps its stored value without the range
check, so a style captured from a scaled type object can be renamed.
The same applies to Basic's Size and Leading minimum.
charStyle.edit keeps a language tag that is not in the list when the
style already has it, so a style read from a file with such a tag can
be edited.
The OpenType panel gets a Position menu after Figure, with Default
Position, Superscript, Subscript, Numerator and Denominator. `numr` and
`dnom` join the extra features (the existing bits keep their indices),
so they round-trip through the stored tags and reach the shaper.
text.setStyle and text.setRangeStyle take `featureChanges`, which turns
features on or off on top of each character's own features in one
command and keeps every tag the list does not name. The Figure menu,
the Position menu and the checkboxes send it, so on a selection whose
characters have different features each character keeps its other
features. Reset OpenType Features still sends `features`.
Catalog rows for Position:, Default Position, Numerator and
Denominator; one line each in docs/type-parity.md and
docs/target-app-parity.md.
The backdrop that takes a click outside the slider strip sensed clicks
with Sense::click(), which egui makes focusable, so Tab stopped on an
invisible full-screen widget. It now uses Sense::CLICK, as the modal
dialog backdrop does; a click outside the strip still keeps the result.
With one Objects on Path group selected, the Selection and Objects on
Path tools show a round handle beyond the top of the group's first
object, joined by a line to its attachment point. Dragging it adds the
angle the pointer turns about that point to the group's Rotate, previewed
while dragging and kept as one undo step on release
(object.objectsOnPath.options). Shift turns in 15 degree steps, Escape
cancels the drag, and the pointer shows the rotate cursor over the
handle.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/mcp.md.
Area type made from the editing data's text document came in with one
row, one column, the 18 pt gutter and the Ascent first baseline,
whatever its frame kept. Each area frame now keeps its rows and columns,
the gutter between rows and the gutter between columns, and its first
baseline (Fixed, Cap Height, Leading or x Height) with its minimum,
scaled with the art's units. Each frame of a thread keeps its own, and a
key that is missing or can't be read leaves that option as it was. A
first baseline the frame keeps is no longer replaced by the fixed one
that matches the file's first line.
AreaOptions gets row_gutter (rowGutter, left out while unset), which
layout spaces rows by; text.areaOptions takes and reports rowGutter, a
gutter given alone sets both, and the Area Type Options dialog shows
Row Gutter.
Every graphic in a version 7 wraparound group (`*w` … `*W`), before
or after its type, is now a wrap object with an offset of 0 instead of
the 6 pt default, and a group with no type in it marks all of its
graphics. A graphic before the type is below it, so the type flows
around it only after it is moved above. Operands on `*w` or `*W`, and
a `*w` inside a compound path, are errors.
Docs: docs/file-format-parity.md.
The status bar said "Opened with 1 note(s)", "Saved <path> with 1 note(s)",
"Discarded 1 recovered document(s)" and "Restored 1 recovered document(s)",
and the Global Edit options showed "Result(s): 1". They now use the singular
for 1 and the plural otherwise, in English through i18n::msg_n and in every
catalog through @msgplural rows (the Results line through an @plural row).
The engine's warnings for linked images and placed documents output as their
previews, and its errors for a page past a placed file's last page or
artboard, also name their counts in the singular or the plural.
The catalogs drop the rows no message reads any more: the plain "(s)" rows
of the changed messages and the @msg row for "Packaged {n} file(s){note}".
Follows #5002.
Window › Swatch Libraries and the Swatches panel's library menu get a
Patterns submenu with Geometric Patterns, a built-in library of eleven
black pattern swatches drawn in code (dots, stripes, a checkerboard, a
grid, diamonds, triangles, crosses and a zigzag).
- Clicking a pattern in its library panel adds the pattern and its
swatch to the document and applies it to the active fill or stroke
(Alt: the other one), as one undo step. A second click reuses the
swatch; a different pattern under the same name keeps its name and
the library's pattern comes in numbered.
- swatch.library.list lists the pattern libraries after the gradient
libraries (category "patterns"), and swatch.library.add brings a
pattern swatch's pattern as pasting art painted with it does.
- The library panel draws each pattern tile from the library's pattern.
- "Geometric Patterns" is translated in every catalog.
The Actions panel menu has Duplicate, between New Set… and Delete. With
an action selected it copies that action to right after it in the same
set; otherwise it copies the current set, with all its actions, to right
after that set. The copy is named after the original with " copy" added
and is selected, and a copied set gets an id of its own. Copies are
saved with the other sets.
ui.actionSet.duplicate {set?: index, action?: index} does the copy and
returns {set, action?}. An index past the last set or action is an
error. A recording into a later set and an open Set Options or Batch
dialog stay on their own set and action.
The bucket outlines the face under the pointer at its Width setting and an
edge at half of it (4 px and 2 px by default), as the help page says faces
are highlighted with a thick line and edges with a thin line. The Live
Paint Selection tool keeps one width for faces and edges.
dataset.import read two header cells that named one variable (City
and City, or Shown and #Shown) into the same column, so each row kept
only the last non-blank cell and the other value was dropped without a
word. The import is now refused with the two column numbers, and the
message has a row in every complete-message catalog.
dataset.import replaced the reason for a refused cell with "value for
`X` must match its variable kind", so a visibility value such as
maybe and a graph value over 262,144 bytes gave the same message. The
error now keeps the line and gives the reason, and both messages have
a row in every complete-message catalog.
dataset.export checked only the 1 MiB size, so a document with more than
1000 data sets or 256 variables exported a CSV that dataset.import then
refused. Export now refuses such a document with a message naming the
limit, and the messages have rows in every complete-message catalog.
View > Outline was one app-wide flag saved in the interface preferences,
so after Cmd+Y every later launch drew every opened or new document as
outlines, with no fills. The flag is now part of each document's view:
a document opens in Preview, each tab shows its own Outline or Preview,
and the setting is not saved at launch. An older preferences file that
holds the flag still loads, and its value is ignored.
The Outline command and ui.set's outline act on the active document and
are an error without one.
A row's empty text value fills its field with nothing, the same as a row without a value
for that variable, and OK left every empty field out of dataset.set. An untouched OK
therefore removed the empty value, and selecting the row afterward left the previous row's
text on the art.
Edit Data Set now marks the fields that hold the row's empty text value and keeps those
values on OK. Typing in such a field, or setting it with ui.dialog.set, removes the mark, so
emptying it still unsets the variable.
OK on colors opened alone snaps each color the Global Adjust changed to the
library's nearest color before saving the new group, as recolor.apply does for
a group's colors.
Save… in the Document Info panel menu now writes only the category the
panel shows, with Selection Only applied. With All Categories shown it
writes every category, as before. docInfo.save takes an optional
category (a document.info category id) and passes it to document.info.
The Edit tab's color mode menu offers Global Adjust, with Saturation,
Brightness, Temperature and Luminosity sliders from -100% to 100% that
open at 0%, which changes nothing. One slider changes every recolored
color, each one separately, in its own model; the rows keep their new
colors and the art previews the change. The Edit tab also shows the
color sliders of the selected new color in the other modes.
recolor.apply takes globalAdjust {saturation, brightness, temperature,
luminosity}. Excluded rows and colors no row holds stay as they are, a
rewritten color group takes the same change, and with Limit to Library
each row's new color takes it before it snaps to the library.
