Object > Rasterize, Crop Image, Flatten Transparency, Expand
Appearance of raster effects and Vector Halftone draw the art with the
renderer and replace it with the result. When the art held an image
that could not be decoded, the renderer drew nothing for it, and the
result lacked the image with no message. A raster export of the same
art warns that "an image couldn't be decoded and is missing from the
picture".
These five commands now compare decode_failures before and after they
draw, as raster exports do, and their replies carry that text as
`warning`. They still make their result in one undo step. The app
shows a command's `warning` in the status bar: after a menu command,
after OK in a dialog with a preview, and after a tool runs a command
(Crop Image's Apply).

Raster Effects Settings, Vector halftone).
A selected clip group drew the outline of everything inside it: the
clipping path, the whole rectangle of a clipped image, and the whole
outline and anchors of each clipped path. The Selection tool's
bounding box, which fits the clipping path, showed on top of them.
The hover highlight and the key object outline drew the same hidden
art.
The selection overlay, the hover highlight and the key object outline
now show only the clipping path of a clip group or clipping layer,
its first child. The overlay's limit on anchors counts only that path
too, so a clip group that hides a large trace still shows its
clipping path's anchors and hover highlight. The art inside still
shows its whole outline when it is selected on its own: with Edit
Contents, a Direct or Group Selection click, or in isolation mode.

file.new takes a width and height up to 163,830 pt, 1 to 1,000
artboards, a spacing of 0 to 100,000 pt and a bleed of 0 to 72 pt a
side, but a saved or Recent New Document preset in the preferences
was read as it was stored. With a width of -5, file.new failed with
"width/height must be positive and within the canvas"; a spacing of
-50 overlapped the artboards, a preset with 5,000 artboards made 5,000
artboards, and a bleed of 100 reached the document. A .vectorcraft
file's Document Setup bleed, superscript and subscript proportions and
small caps size also opened as stored, and document.setup then failed
when its own report was passed back to it.
These values are now read as the nearer end of the range their
setter takes, and an artboard width or height of 0 or less is read as
1 pt. Presets and files with values in range read as before.

object.createObjectMosaic read columns and rows with as_u64 and fell
back to 10 for anything else, so 2.5, -3 or "4" made a 10 x 10 mosaic
and reported success. Transform Each read reference and seed the same
way (a reference of 2.5 used the center point, and a seed of 7.5 used
the default seed), and Rearrange All Artboards cut 1.5 columns to 1
and read "1" as the default 2.
These five parameters now take a whole number, written 4 or 4.0 as the
Rearrange All Artboards dialog sends it. A fraction or a negative
number is refused with "`columns` must be a whole number", the message
object.slice.divide gives. A string or another value that is not a
number is refused with the check_numbers error. The command then
changes nothing. The existing ranges stay: 1 to 1000 mosaic tiles
across and down, a reference of at most 8, and 1 to the artboard
count of columns.

In a CMYK document, an RGB color from the Eyedropper, a hex value or
paint.setFill was stored as CMYK by the profile-free formula
(k = 1 - max(r, g, b)), not through the color settings. RGB 83/170/223
came in as C63 M24 Y0 K13. A CMYK image was sampled through the RGB its
decoder shows, so its inks came back only when the formula happened to
round-trip them.
paint_from now converts an RGB color into a CMYK document with
Cms::convert and the settings' intent, as Document Color Mode and Swatch
Options already do. This covers paint.setFill and paint.setStroke,
gradient stops, swatch.new {color} and the Eyedropper. With Generic CMYK,
83/170/223 now separates to C59 M12 Y3 K0, and #ff0000 now separates to
C0 M97 Y100 K0 instead of C0 M100 Y100 K0. keepModel: true still keeps
RGB. paint.sampleColor with a stop stores the color the same way.
The Eyedropper samples a CMYK image's ink amounts (a four-component
JPEG, or an 8- or 16-bit chunky CMYK TIFF) and returns them unchanged
(ImageBlob::sample_cmyk_object), also in an RGB document. It takes an
RGB image's sRGB pixel into the working RGB space, as the screen color
sampler does, so the picked color shows as the pixel when the working
space is not sRGB.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
A PDF-compatible .ai read through its editing data kept the PDF part's
warnings that text was kept as outlines ("text was converted to
outlines", the U+FFFD warning and the warning on glyphs that differ
from the installed font). The layers take from the page only text
nodes and the stroked paths around them, so filled outlined glyphs
don't reach the document, and type made from the text document holds
every character.
- The warnings are dropped when the document holds no glyphs kept as
outlines. Stroked glyphs that come in with stroked type keep them.
- A text object that takes the page's type, next to glyphs the page has
only as outlines, lacks those characters: a new warning counts such
objects.
- vectorcraft_pdf exports the three warnings, is_outlines_note,
is_glyph_outlines and holds_outlines.

The mesh covers the image's rectangle with its transform kept; each point takes the average colour and opacity of the picture around it. A linked image is refused.

View › Rulers › Change to Global Rulers (Cmd+Alt+R) was a disabled
stub: the rulers always counted from one document zero point. The
reference app's public help describes two modes: artboard rulers, the
default, count from the active artboard's top-left corner, and each
artboard can have its own zero point; global rulers keep one zero point
for the whole document whichever artboard is active.
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/measure-and-align/grids-and-guides/about-rulers.htmlhttps://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/measure-and-align/grids-and-guides/use-rulers.html
`view.globalRulers {global?}` switches the mode (toggle by default),
undoable and saved with the document (`rulers`). The menu item reads
Change to Artboard Rulers while global rulers are on. A new document has
artboard rulers; a file saved before the mode existed has no `rulers`
key and opens with global rulers, so it measures as it did.
With artboard rulers, dragging the ruler corner sets the active
artboard's zero point, kept as an offset from its corner
(`artboard_ruler_origins`, by artboard id) so it moves with the
artboard, and double-clicking the corner resets it. The global zero
point (`ruler_origin`) stays separate. `document.rulerOrigin`,
`document.setRulerOrigin` and `document.resetRulerOrigin` take
`artboard`; `Document::ruler_origin_for` is the zero point with an
artboard active, falling back to the corner or the global one when a
stored value is out of range.
The rulers, the Transform, Properties and Control bar X/Y, the Info
panel's X/Y (which ignored the zero point before), ruler-guide
readouts and Shift ruler-tick snapping all count from that zero point:
the view's active artboard reaches the tools through `ViewInfo` and
`ToolContext::ruler_origin`. Command coordinates stay absolute.
Tests: engine/tests/ruler_origin.rs (default mode, per-artboard origin
following its artboard, global origin apart, toggle and undo, save and
legacy files, out-of-range values), ui-egui/src/tests_ruler_origin.rs
(position fields and corner drag on the active artboard, menu label and
shortcut), tools/src/rulerguide.rs (guide readouts and tick snapping).
Tests written for the single global zero point now turn global rulers
on first. "Change to Artboard Rulers" is translated in every catalog.

The Appearance panel's inline effect editor showed a parameter that
picks one of some values (Roughen's Points, Offset Path's Joins, the
menus of Smart Blur, Glass, Texturizer and De-Interlace) as a text
field holding the stored value, where the effect's dialog has a
dropdown. Its labels did not have the dialog's mappings ("Channel1"
and "Max Radius" for "Channel 1:" and "Max. Radius:"), and a plug-in
choice named mode whose value is a blend mode name showed the blend
mode list.
The editor now shows the other parameters that effect::choices lists
as dropdowns with the dialog's labels (Drop Shadow's Shade keeps its
radio buttons), translated in the "effect" context, and a pick sends
the dialog's value with effect.setParams. Glass's Texture menu ends
with Loaded Texture once a texture is loaded. A plug-in's choice lists
the plug-in's values, and the blend mode dropdown is only for our own
effects. The labels are form::humanize's without the colon. The dialog
and the panel both call form::choice_label and effect::glass_textures.

In a rotated view the resize and rotate cursors were the ones for an
unturned view. With the view turned 90°, the right-middle handle of a
selection's bounding box shows at the middle of the box's bottom edge
and drags up and down, but its cursor was the left-right arrow. This
affected the Selection, Free Transform, Artboard, Slice Selection, Crop
Image, Perspective Grid and Perspective Selection tools, ruler guides,
and the spread handle of a freeform gradient.
Now each of these cursors turns with the view to the nearest 45°. The
Selection tool and the Perspective Selection tool turn the handle's
direction by the view's angle before they round it to a cursor.
ToolContext::view_angle reads the view's angle from the screen frame,
and Cursor::turned turns a resize or rotate cursor by it. The new
Cursor::rotate_about_in_view turns the pointer's direction from the
center by the view before it picks one of the rotate cursor's eight
directions. Cursor::rotate_about keeps its signature and behavior. At
0° every cursor is as it was.

Three original Artistic filters on the pixel pipeline, each with a
catalogue row, the generic live dialog, translations and tests.
- Cutout: colours softened by Edge Simplicity (less with Edge Fidelity),
split into Number of Levels steps per channel and painted as flat
pieces in their average colour; slivers along softened edges take the
nearest large piece's colour.
- Poster Edges: channels posterized to Posterization + 2 levels, black
lines on the edges of any channel and of the outline, widened by Edge
Thickness and darkened by Edge Intensity.
- Neon Glow: dimmed greys screened with a glow colour from the light
areas (positive Glow Size) or the dark ones (negative), as strong as
Glow Brightness.
All keep coverage and work in document units at any Document Raster
Effects resolution. Photoshop filters 33/57; cargo xtask ci passes all
9 steps.

Native review of the rows added in the Finnish merge: "artboard" is
piirtoalusta everywhere else in the catalog, so the two export rows that
said piirtoalue now match; "Color Scheme" becomes Väriteema so it no
longer reads the same as Swatches (Värimallit). The other added rows
read correctly and are kept.

Object › Graph › Column… was a menu stub, so a graph's columns and bars
were always plain rectangles. The reference app fills them with a graph
design, vertically scaled, uniformly scaled, repeated with a value for
each copy, or stretched at a guide line.
graph.column (Column…) draws the columns, bars or stacked segments and
the legend swatch of the series picked with Group Selection with a
design saved by Object › Graph › Design. Vertically Scaled stretches the
design to each column's length at the column's width. Uniformly Scaled
scales it both ways to that length and centers it on the column.
Repeating stacks a copy for each Each Design Represents value out from
the zero line, and For Fractions chops the last copy at the value or
scales it down. Sliding keeps the part above the design's horizontal
guide line in proportion and stretches the part below. The design and
its options are saved with the graph, and the graph follows the design
when it is renamed or deleted. Columns drawn with a design cast no drop
shadow.
A marker or legend design made of one path is now drawn in a group of
its own. Painting a series with Group Selection then leaves the design's
paint alone, as it already did for designs of several objects.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Object > Live Paint > Gap Options was a stub, and paint leaked through
any gap between the paths of a Live Paint group. The reference app's
Gap Options stop paint at small gaps, close them with unpainted paths
and preview them on the canvas.
livePaint.gapOptions (Gap Options) sets a group's options: detect (Gap
Detection), size (small 3 pt, medium 6 pt, large 12 pt, or a custom
size over 0 up to 72 pt), color (the Gap Preview Color, #rrggbb or a
layer color's name) and closeGaps, which adds an unpainted path across
each gap to the group's paths. A gap runs from a loose end of a path
to the nearest point of any path within the size, unless the paths
already join the two close by. With detection on, the faces are made
again as if a line closed each gap, and each face or edge keeps the
look of the old one it lies in or on. The options are stored on the
group, so they are saved, copied and undone with it, and Expand drops
them. Merge keeps the bottom group's options when its Gap Detection is
on, or else turns Gap Detection on with Small when another merged
group has it on. When Gap Detection is off in every merged group,
Merge keeps it off. livePaint.info lists the options and the gaps up
to the size wide that no path closes.
The menu item opens a Gap Options dialog. With Preview on, the options
apply live and the gaps show on the canvas in the preview color, and
OK keeps them as one undo step. vectorcraft-pathops gains find_gaps
and live_paint_with_gaps.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
i18n: the 19 complete catalogs have rows for the dialog's labels, and
bg's Gap Options menu label now names gaps instead of line spacing.
Window › SVG Interactivity was a disabled menu item. VectorCraft could
not attach JavaScript to an object's events or link JavaScript files
for SVG export.
The SVG Interactivity panel lists 19 events, from onfocusin to
onscroll. Pick one, type its JavaScript and press Enter to add it to
the selected objects; the list shows their events. Remove Selected
Entry removes the picked event, and the panel menu's Clear Events
removes all of them. Link JavaScript Files… opens the JavaScript
Files dialog, which adds a path or URL to the document's list and
removes the selected one. Its Choose… button puts a picked file in
as a file:/// URL. The commands are svgInteractivity.info,
setEvent, removeEvent, clearEvents, addFile and removeFile, and
ui.javascriptFilesDialog. Each edit is one undo step. A document
links at most 64 files.
SVG export writes each event as an event attribute on the object's
element and each file as a <script xlink:href> element. With the SVG
Tiny 1.2 profile, export leaves the events out with a warning. SVG
import reads the listed event attributes and the script links back
as text. It never reads a linked file or runs a script, and it leaves
inline scripts and the links after the first 64 out with a warning.
The native format keeps both.
An unnamed <g> with data-* attributes of its own around a single
object now imports as a group. Before, import folded it into the
object, which then took the group's data-* or, when it had its own,
dropped the group's. An unnamed <g> with event attributes stays a
group in the same way. The SVG import fuzz tests now include event
attributes and <script> elements.

When pressing Ctrl+P to open the Print dialog and clicking Setup (or Settings), print.printerSetup previously discarded the selected printer name and unconditionally launched explorer ms-settings:printers. On Windows 10, this opened the Windows Settings Printers and scanners page, displaying the list of installed printers instead of the printer driver printing preferences.
Launch Windows native Printing Preferences dialog for the target printer using rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /e /n printer, falling back to the system default printer or Settings if no printer is available or detected. Add unit tests covering command construction and fallback behavior.
Fixes#2569.
An Alt-click (Option-click on macOS) on the Artboards panel's New
Artboard used to add an artboard at once, as a plain click does. It now
opens Artboard Options for the new artboard, filled in with the name and
size that artboard.new {} would give it, and adds nothing yet. OK adds
the artboard with the fields where artboard.new {} would place it (20 pt
to the right of the last artboard) in one undo step, and makes it the
active artboard; Cancel adds no artboard. A plain click and a row
dropped on the button work as before.
The new UI command ui.newArtboard ("New Artboard Options…") opens the
dialog. It is listed after ui.newLayer, and its label has a row in each
catalog.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The Contextual Task Bar showed only with the selection tools and
selected objects. With the Artboard tool it never showed.
With the Artboard tool, the bar now sits under the selected artboards
and offers Resize, which opens Artboard Options for the active
artboard; Duplicate, which copies each selected artboard in one undo
step and selects the copies; Rearrange All, with two or more
artboards, which opens Rearrange All Artboards; and Export, which
opens Export for Screens with the selected artboards checked. The
objects' Fill, Recolor Artwork and Lock buttons are not shown with
the Artboard tool. "Resize" has a row in every catalog.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
With the Artboard tool in use, the Control bar showed Move and Scale
Artwork with Artboard and then the object controls (Fill, Stroke,
Opacity and the rest). The reference app's help lists the Control
panel, with the Artboard tool, among the places to add, delete,
rename, resize and position artboards, set their orientation and
reference point, and open Artboard Options.
While the tool is in use, the Control bar now shows the active
artboard's controls in place of the object controls: Preset, Portrait
and Landscape, New Artboard, Delete Artboard, the Name field, Artboard
Options, Rearrange All Artboards, the Transform link, Move and Scale
Artwork with Artboard, and the reference point with X, Y, W and H and
the Constrain Width and Height Proportions link. Each control runs the
command its Properties or Transform panel counterpart runs, and the
reference point is the one the Transform panel uses. In an 800-point
window the controls up to the Transform link fit, the two artwork
options show as their boxes with their names in tooltips, and the link
opens the position and size in a popover, as it does for objects.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
Type › Optical Margin Alignment was a disabled menu item. The reference
app's Optical Margin Alignment hangs Roman punctuation and the edges of
letters such as W and A outside the margins of every paragraph of a
type object.
type.opticalMarginAlignment (Type › Optical Margin Alignment) turns it
on or off for the selected type in one undo step, and the menu item is
checked while the type has it on. In every left-to-right paragraph of
point and area type, quotation marks, hyphens, full stops and commas at
a line's start or end hang wholly outside the margin there. Asterisks,
tildes, ellipses, en and em dashes, colons and semicolons hang by half
their width, and A, V, W, Y, v, w and y hang by a tenth of theirs. A
punctuation mark followed by a quotation mark hangs with it.
Left-aligned lines hang at their left margin, right-aligned lines hang
at their right margin, and centered and justified lines hang at both.
Lines break where they did before, and the space that justification
adds between glyphs leaves out the gaps next to a hanging punctuation
mark.
The setting is off for new type and for documents from before it, and
the type object saves it only when it is on.
The Type menu's checks for Optical Margin Alignment, Type Orientation
and the Type on a Path effects now read the type inside a selected
group, as the commands do.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/type-parity.md.
Object > Expand with Fill expanded gradient fills only. A pattern fill
stayed a live pattern, and object.expand.info did not report it, so the
dialog's Fill option was disabled for it. In the reference app, Expand
with Fill turns a pattern fill into the pattern's tiles, and the shape
becomes their clipping mask.
The Fill step now turns each visible pattern fill of a path or compound
path into a clip group shaped like the object, holding the tiles the
pattern lays over the object's box with fresh ids. The group isolates
the tiles' blending and takes the fill's opacity, blend mode and other
effects. Geometry effects of the fill or the object, such as Offset
Path, shape the group's outline and the box the tiles cover. A path in
the tile art with a random Transform effect is baked with its own id
first, and a path with a brush that varies at random (calligraphic or
scatter with Random variation, or bristle) is baked where the pattern
defines it first, so every tile matches the canvas. The object's other
fills and strokes stay on copies of it in paint order, and Expand stays
one undo step. Type with a pattern fill expands the same way once
Object outlines it, and object.expand.info reports pattern fills under
fill. It also reports gradient fills under a new gradient key, and the
dialog enables Expand Gradient To only when the selection has one. A
pattern fill stays as it is when it lays no tiles over the box, when a
group or type in its art has a random Transform effect, when the
pattern is scaled, rotated, reflected, stretched or sheared and its art
holds a symbol instance, and when the pattern is rotated, reflected,
stretched or sheared, or scaled while its art has geometry effects, and
its art has raster or 3D effects, or a geometry effect on a group or
type.
PatternDef gains instances_in_with, which places the tiles with a given
Scaling. Expand has stroke weights, effect distances and the tiles' own
pattern paints scale with the pattern's transform. When the pattern is
rotated, reflected, stretched or sheared, or scaled while its art has
geometry effects such as Roughen, the strokes and geometry effects of
the tiles' paths become filled art first (bake_appearance, and Outline
Stroke's conversion for brushed strokes), and their live shapes become
plain paths, in their opacity masks too. Tiles place their opacity
masks with them, unlinked ones included (place_art), which also fixes
unlinked masks in pattern tiles in PDF, EPS, EMF and WMF export and in
Distort Pattern Fills.
Faults in the shared code are fixed for every caller. assemble
dropped the effects of a sole part, so Expand lost a lone gradient
fill's own effects and Outline Stroke lost those of a stroke with a
gradient along or across it. Outline Stroke also dropped a brushed
stroke's raster effects from its brush art. Expand replaced an object
whose gradient fill could not be expanded with a plain copy; it now
leaves it as it was. Expand left the geometry effects of a gradient
fill, and with Object off those of the object, on the expanded art,
where they reshaped every strip; they now shape the clip group's
outline, and the gradient fits it, as for pattern fills.
bake_appearance dropped a stroke's raster effects from its filled
outline and filled the outline of a stroke with a gradient along or
across it with a gradient across the outline's box; it now keeps the
effects and makes the gradient meshes clipped to the outline, as
Outline Stroke does. Envelope Options > Distort Appearance uses it too.
PatternDef::offsets_covering overflowed on a region too large to count
in integers, as for a pattern scaled by 1e-20; it now gives no offsets.
