Check a new call's params against the schema in execute_spec, after the
key check and before the parser, and check every command.batch step
before the first one runs. menucmds::run_raw and the two other direct
runs go through the same check. Saved steps keep keys the schema does
not name and have the values it names checked.
Limit nesting to 16 levels, cut error text and paths to a fixed length,
and copy nothing before it has passed. Treat a whole number written
with a fraction as an integer. Check declared defaults and duplicate
names once at first use.
Give the five schema errors rows in the 22 complete-message catalogs.
text.spelling.addWord, removeWord and changeWord are Check Spelling's Add
and Edit Custom Dictionary's Add, Delete and Change; text.spelling.dictionary
lists the words. They live in craft-proof, which every language's check
reads. The desktop app and vectorcraft-cli keep them in
`Custom Dictionary.txt` next to the preferences (none without preferences);
elsewhere they last until the app closes.
text.spelling.ignoreAll is Ignore All: the active document's checks skip the
word while it is open; not saved, not undoable, and not a change to the
document's revision.

When loading the plug-in store can't remove the grant of an id whose stored
module lists no permissions, or can't read grants.json, the entry stays on
disk and still approved the bytes it covers. plugin.install has the same case
when the grant can't be removed and no earlier module can be put back.
The session now keeps those ids and does not count their grants in
plugin.inspect, plugin.install, plugin.reload or a later load of the store. A
successful update of the grant for the id ends that, and so does attaching a
different store.
With New Art Has Basic Appearance on (the default), the selection never
reached the fill and stroke proxies, so new art kept the colours set last.
A select.* command or layer.target that changes the selection now loads
the proxies and the weight from what the selection shows in them.
A paint or weight the selected objects don't share stays as it was, and
art without paint (a placed image) changes nothing. The template is left
alone, and only a changed selection loads, so a sampled paint stays.
- A file read for opening is laid out in the composite fonts registered
then. Opening a document and reverting the front one now measure again
the type set in a font named like a composite font that an open document
defines, the font database holds or the session registered earlier. Type
in other fonts, missing ones included, keeps the bounds it was read with.
- Switching to a document or closing the front one measures again the type
set in a composite font whose definition changed, and any type without
bounds.
- A document reverted while in the back measures its type in composite
fonts when it comes to the front, not in the front document's.
- Text holding an inline graphic whose symbol's type was measured again
takes the graphic's new size.
- A failed or panicked command puts the font database's composite fonts
back with the documents.
- Setting a composite font to the definition an export lends keeps it after
the export ends.
`plugin.install` accepted `grant` and `allowHeavy` from any client, so
the program installing a plug-in could answer its own permission
prompt.
The desktop app now shows an approval dialog that names the module,
its hash and what it asks for. Confirming it gives the engine a
one-use approval tied to that module id, hash and permission list. A
control or MCP request and a frame of synthetic input cannot confirm
the dialog, and Enter does not confirm it.
Without such an approval, `grant` and `allowHeavy` are refused. The
new `--allow-plugin-grants` flag on `mcp` and `run` lets a person who
starts a headless session accept them from requests. The flag cannot
be combined with `--connect`. A module already approved in the desktop
app still installs through its stored grant.
The remembered selection is now tied to the document it was made in, by its
uid, instead of being cleared on every tool reset: another view of the same
document, or closing an inactive tab, kept the anchors picked but made Copy
take the whole path.
A lent gesture that leaves the selection as it found it (a Cmd+Shift marquee
over nothing) is no longer recorded as a pick, so the Pen's last anchor stays
its own and Copy takes the whole path.
Also records #6123 in target-app-parity.md.
With the Pen or Curvature tool, Copy and Cut ignore the anchor selection,
so that the last anchor the Pen leaves selected doesn't make Copy take just
that anchor (#2122). Anchors picked with the Direct Selection that Cmd/Ctrl
lends those tools were ignored too, and the whole path was copied.
The session now remembers the selection the lent tool leaves when it gives
the tool back. While that is still the selection, Copy and Cut take the
picked anchors and segments, as with Direct Selection chosen.
An envelope mapped type from its laid-out box: ascent to descent for
point type, the frame for area type. The distorted glyphs then filled
less of the envelope than other art does, with room above the capitals
and below the baseline.
The envelope now maps type from the bounds of its glyph outlines,
underlines and strikethroughs when the type is on its own, in groups
and layers, or used as a clipping path. Inline graphics count by their
boxes. Rotated type and type in perspective map from their outlines as
they are drawn. Make with Mesh,
Make with Top Object and Reset with Mesh without Maintain Shape use
those bounds. Type that draws nothing keeps its laid-out box, and so
does type inside any other object, such as a blend, a repeat or a
symbol instance. Shrink Text to Fit type is measured as it is laid out
on the page.
vectorcraft-text's envelope_ink measures the type, and
register_envelope_ink registers it with the document crate. The engine
session, Renderer::new, live evaluation in vectorcraft-effects and the
.ai reader register it. The document crate keeps the measured boxes per
thread, by object and by a hash of the content, and measures again when
the type, the fonts, the hyphenation exceptions or the transform's
scale or rotation change.
This is VectorCraft's own rule. Envelopes of type made in VectorCraft
and in saved files map from the glyph outline bounds instead of the
type's laid-out box, so they redraw differently.
Opening a document laid out every type object for its bounds and
baselines and threw the layouts away, and the first frame laid the same
objects out again. The open now keeps them, up to 128 MiB, and a frame
takes each one once.
A frame takes a layout only for a text object equal to the one laid out,
and only while the fonts, the system fallback setting and the hyphenation
exceptions are unchanged. When the last frame being drawn ends, the rest
are dropped if a frame took one, and all of them are dropped after eight
frames that take none. A layout with bitmap or color glyphs and a text
object with a gradient are not kept.
Session::execute ran check_params only in the engine's own tests, so a
direct execute in a release build ran a misspelled key with the
command's default. It now checks every call, the commands a command runs
included, as MCP and the control port already did. A command.batch or
an action.batch is checked before its first step runs, and each step is
checked again as it runs, so an effect.setParams step is checked
against the effects the steps before it added.
Saved steps play through Session::replay, which takes keys a command no
longer reads, so an action recorded by an older version still plays and
Session::replay still plays an older journal. The Actions panel's Play
(Accelerated, Step by Step and Pause For, its function keys and
ui.action.play) and the Batch dialog use it.
Docs: the cmd/params.rs module doc, the Parameter keys section of
docs/mcp.md and a line in docs/target-app-parity.md describe both
paths.
A filter or live effect may declare up to 32 `commands` in its manifest,
each `{id, label, params?}`. While the plug-in is installed each one is the
command `plugin.<id>.<command>`: listed by `command.list` and in the
plug-in's `plugin.list` entry, run through `run`, MCP and `command.batch`
with its parameters checked before the plug-in runs, and recorded in
actions. A run goes through `vc_run` on the selection with
`_context.mode` "command" and `_context.command`, under the plug-in's
permissions, as one undo step named after the command. A failing run
leaves the document as it was, and its error starts with the plug-in's
name and the command's label. Removing or replacing the plug-in removes
its commands.
In the app, a plug-in with commands is a submenu named after it under
Object › Plug-ins (Effect › Plug-ins for a live effect), holding its own
item and then its commands; a `menu` key in a manifest is ignored. A
command with parameters opens a dialog for them from its menu item or a
shortcut. Edit › Keyboard Shortcuts lists the commands for the user to
give a shortcut; a manifest cannot set one. Labels and names are shown
with control and bidirectional characters escaped, and a malformed entry
is refused by name when the module is installed.
Docs: docs/plugins.md, docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
A new standalone crate, vectorcraft-apischema, describes a command's
parameters: type (number with range and unit, integer, boolean, string,
enum, id, id list, color, point, object, array), whether each is
required, the default of an omitted value, whether null counts as
omitted, the API levels it was added and deprecated at, and the lenient,
cost and writes fields. It validates a params object and names the
parameter of the first problem, writes the params text, writes the
schema in the shape of a JSON Schema 2020-12 object schema, and hashes a
set of schemas.
CommandSpec gains an optional schema (both builders: the cmd! macro and
the text style specs). Session::execute checks the params of a command
that has one before anything else, refusing a value of the wrong type,
out of range or not in its list, a missing parameter or an unknown key
with an error naming the parameter, and fills in defaults; the journal
keeps the params as given. engine.commands lists each schema.
The six commands in cmd/views.rs have schemas, and their params text is
the text the schema writes. schemas::API_VERSION is 1, and a test fails
when a schema changes without a new row in SCHEMA_HASHES.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Parameter schemas), docs/target-app-parity.md.
edit.copy and edit.cut chose the artboard route by the tool chosen, which
the journal does not record. A replay in a new session acted on the objects
selected there, or stopped with "nothing selected" when there were none.
With the Artboard tool chosen, both now record selectedArtboards and art in
the journal entry. A given selectedArtboards runs the artboard route with
any tool and needs only a document. A recorded action leaves both values
out, so it follows the tool chosen when it plays. Cut and Copy of objects
record nothing new.
A document tab dragged sideways along the tab strip moves its document to the
place an insertion line marks; the current document stays current. Dragged
above or below the strip, the tab still tears off into a floating window. The
views Window > New Window opened move with their document, and each document
keeps its own zoom, centre and artboard.
The move is the engine command `document.move {from?, to}`, so the control
channel, MCP and recordings reach it, and a replay moves the document before
the steps recorded after it. `sync_views` keeps the views with their documents
by uid when the documents change order.
