Binding art in a hidden group or layer failed with "node N is locked",
even when nothing was locked. The error now says whether the object is
locked, is in a locked group or layer, or is in a hidden group or layer.
Make Text Dynamic and Make Visibility Dynamic reported their errors under
`variable.makeDynamic`, which is not a command id. They now name
`variable.makeTextDynamic` or `variable.makeVisibilityDynamic`.
A data set can hold values for only some variables: `dataset.new` and
`dataset.set` store only the values they are given, and selecting the
data set leaves the other variables alone. Update Data Set replaced the
active data set's values with the values the art reports for every
variable. After one Update, a data set that set only a visibility
variable also held the current text of the bound type, and selecting it
again wrote that text back. Update also dropped a variable's value when
its objects were locked or inside a hidden or locked layer or group,
because such objects report no value.
`dataset.update` now writes the art's current value for each variable
the active data set holds, and keeps the data set's value when the art
reports none. A variable that the data set does not hold stays out of
it, including one defined after the data set was captured;
`dataset.update {all: true}` also adds the other variables that the art
reports a value for. The reply adds `left`, the variables it did not
write. The Variables panel's Update Data Set button and menu item run
it without `all`.

The Pen's pointer showed the new-path asterisk before the first anchor
and also while a path was being drawn, where a click adds the path's
next anchor. A new Cursor::PenDrawing, the pen nib without a badge, now
shows there. The close, convert and join badges still show over the
first anchor, the last anchor and another open path's end. The asterisk
shows only where a click starts a new path.
The Continue, Add and Delete badges now also show after another path
was selected while the Pen was still drawing (for example with a
Cmd-click). A click there already continued the path or added or
deleted an anchor, but the pointer showed the asterisk.
View › Proof Setup had two color blindness items, protanopia and
deuteranopia. A third item, Color blindness – Tritanopia-type, proofs
the canvas with a tritanopia simulation, and the Separations Preview
panel's Proof Setup list offers it too. `view.proofSetup` takes
`target: "tritanopia"`.
The simulation follows Brettel, Viénot and Mollon (1997): a color
keeps its L and M cone responses, and its S response is replaced so
that it lies on one of two half-planes. Both contain the neutral
axis; one passes through the 485 nm color and the other through the
660 nm color. The neutral axis runs to the display's white, so grays
keep their value. The matrices are computed at
compile time from the published inputs cited in the code. The
protanopia and deuteranopia matrices are unchanged.
In the Transform panel, the Properties panel's Transform section and
the Control bar, Alt+Enter (Option+Return) in X, Y, W, H, Rotate or
Shear ended editing as Enter does, and the selection itself moved,
resized, turned or sheared. Now the field's command gets `copy: true`
when the Enter that committed it was pressed with Alt. The copy takes
the value, the original stays where it was, and the copy is selected,
in one undo step. A press elsewhere with Alt held applies the value
without a copy. With anchor points selected with Direct Selection,
Alt+Enter applies the value to them, as Enter does.
- widgets::enter_modifiers returns the modifiers of the frame's Enter
press.
- transform::alt_enter_copies gives the `copy` param of the three
surfaces' commands.

A Pencil or Paintbrush stroke always left the path it drew or continued
selected. The reference app's Pencil and Paintbrush options have Keep
selected for this, and VectorCraft's Tool Options had no such row.
The Pencil and Paintbrush Tool Options now have a Keep selected
checkbox, on by default, which keeps today's behavior. When it is off,
a new path is not selected and the selection stays as it was, and a
continued path is removed from the selection while the rest stays. The
stroke is still one undo step. The option persists like the tools'
other options, and path.freehand and brush.freehand take keepSelected.

Ctrl/Cmd+Shift-clicking New Swatch in the Swatches panel opened New
Swatch for a spot color, as a Ctrl/Cmd-click does. It now opens the
dialog for a global process color, and with Alt also held it saves one
at once. `ui.newSwatch` takes `global`.
An Alt+Ctrl/Cmd-click with a gradient or pattern as the active paint
failed with "spot, mode and group apply to solid colours only". It now
saves a gradient or pattern swatch, as a Ctrl/Cmd-click does through
the dialog.
The reference app's Drop Shadow has a Color and a Darkness, the
percentage of black added to the object's own colors. Drop Shadow had
only a Color, so every shadow was one color. Choosing one or the other,
and the defaults, are VectorCraft's own.
Drop Shadow now takes `shade` ("color" or "darkness", default "color")
and `darkness` (%, default 100). Its dialog and the Appearance panel's
inline editor show Color and Darkness as radio buttons. With Darkness
d, a CMYK document keeps the object's cyan, magenta and yellow and
raises its black from K to K + d × (1 − K), and an RGB document
multiplies each channel by 1 − d, so in RGB 0% gives the object's
color and 100% gives black. A shadow saved without these keys draws as
before. SVG export writes a Darkness shadow with feComponentTransfer
and SVG import reads it back; CSS export leaves it out.

Shift+Tab ran Tab's command and hid the toolbar and the Control bar
along with the panels. egui matches a chord without Shift when Shift
is also held.
A new UI command, window.panels (default Shift+Tab), shows and hides
the dock and the floating panels and leaves the toolbar and the
Control bar as they are. The shortcut table tries chords with more
modifiers first, so Tab's chord no longer takes Shift+Tab. Hiding the
panels with Tab or Shift+Tab also closes a panel popped out of the
icon column, which stayed on screen at the window's right edge.

In Draw Inside, a double-click with the Selection, Direct Selection or
Group Selection tool outside the object being drawn into now sets the
drawing mode to Draw Normal (view.drawMode {mode: "normal"}), as
Shift+D does. The object's geometric bounds, grown by the selection
tolerance, count as inside, and a double-click after the object was
deleted also returns to Draw Normal. The tool then takes the
double-click as before: with the Selection tool, a double-click on the
empty canvas still exits isolation mode, and one on another object
still isolates that object. Other tools leave Draw Inside on.

The Color Picker gets an eyedropper button beside the New and Original
chips, and `ui.sampleScreenColor {stroke?, picker?}` shows the system's
color sampler. The command answers at once. When the person clicks a
color anywhere on the screen, the color becomes the fill or the stroke
through paint.setFill / paint.setStroke as one undo step, or with
`picker` it becomes the open Color Picker's color, which previews on the
selection as any pick does. Escape cancels the sampler. The sampled sRGB
color goes through Cms::srgb_to_rgb, so in a Display P3 working space a
color inside sRGB shows as it did on the screen. `ui.inspect` reports
`screenSampler` while the sampler is open.
- macOS uses NSColorSampler (apps/vectorcraft/src/mac_screen_color.rs).
- The web app uses the browser's EyeDropper API where the browser has
one.
- Without a sampler (Windows, Linux, other browsers) the button is gray
and the command returns an error. Keyboard Shortcuts lists the
command, so it can be given a key.

The Control bar had no isolation controls. In isolation mode it now
shows an Exit Isolation Mode button (`object.exitIsolation`), except
while a pattern is edited: the isolation bar's Done and Cancel end
that edit. Outside isolation mode, with one group, compound path,
path, image, mesh or placed file selected, it shows an Isolate
Selected Object button (`object.isolate`). After a Direct Selection
click on a path inside a group, the button isolates that path. An
envelope's contents get no button: for them the Control bar shows the
envelope's Edit Envelope and Edit Contents buttons.
The button offers the kinds of object that the Selection tool's
double-click isolates. The double-click's check moves unchanged into
`vectorcraft_tools::select::isolates`, and both use it.

A knockout group that is not isolated, and whose elements blend, is
drawn over a copy of the art below it when the renderer has no layer
open around it. Each element was drawn over the whole copy in a layer,
and the layer was cut to the element's knockout shape with DestIn.
Where the shape covers part of a pixel, the cut counted the element's
coverage a second time. With Page Knockout Group on and Page Isolated
Blending off, the page is drawn this way as soon as an object on it
outside an isolated group has a blend mode other than Normal, on itself
or on a fill or stroke. On a test page, adding a Multiply square
changed the half-covered edge of a blue square over orange from
[115, 115, 141] to [172, 159, 147] on white.
Each element is now drawn over the copy offscreen, over its own
bounds. With the DestOut pass before it, each pixel gets (1 - shape)
times what was below plus shape times the element composited with the
copy at a shape of 1, as ISO 32000-1 section 11.4.6 describes. Pixels
that the shape covers fully or not at all are drawn as before.
Geometry effects on a group or layer, and effects on a symbol instance,
blend or repeat, outline the type inside it. outline_nested_text
replaced each type object with a plain group of its outlines, so the
type lost its opacity, blend mode, opacity mask, knockout shape
option, own effects and perspective, and hidden type was drawn,
exported and made visible by Expand Appearance.
outline_nested_text now replaces type with the art that as_art makes
for it, which is also what reshape makes for type with geometry
effects of its own. That art has the type's own geometry effects and
perspective applied and keeps its name, transparency, opacity mask
and other effects. as_art also keeps the object's visibility and
knockout shape option, so hidden type with a geometry effect of its
own is left out of exports. Type in a clip group's clipping path still
becomes its plain outlines and now keeps its visibility.
In a dev build, opening a native file whose area type has 2^60 rows
or 2^60 columns failed with an internal error ("capacity overflow"),
and opening one with 2^32 rows and 2^32 columns failed with "attempt
to multiply with overflow". Text layout reserved room for rows times
columns frame cells. `text.areaOptions` keeps both counts within 1 to
100, but reading a document kept the counts the file gave.
Reading a document now clamps each count to 1 to 100
(`AreaOptions::MAX_ROWS_COLUMNS`): a larger count reads as 100, and 0
reads as 1, as layout already treated it. Text layout clamps both
counts the same way. Area type with 1 to 100 rows and columns lays out
as before.
The cells of a frame now share one copy of the frame's flattened
polygons and one copy of the flattened text wrap shapes. Each cell held
its own copy: in a dev build, a test process that laid out text in 100
rows and 100 columns of a circle frame of radius 1,000,000 pt peaked at
1.33 GB of memory, and now peaks at 100 MB.
