Art taken from a `.ai`'s PDF part on a later page is moved to where the
editing data puts that artboard. The move left pattern fills and strokes
where they were, so their tiles no longer lined up with the art. This
happened in three places: the page art that stands in for an unread
object (#5050), the page's type given to text objects, and the art on
each page when the file comes in as its PDF part with the artboard
layout kept. Each move now transforms the pattern tiles too.
The file-format and progress docs named three of the cases in which an
unread object's page art is not used and the file comes in as its page.
The import also does this when the object lies on an artboard that has
no page, when no page art lies inside its box, when that page art is
inside a page group with a clip, mask, transparency or appearance, when
the object holds a frame of threaded type, and when the page art uses a
pattern, image or swatch that the page lacks or that differs from the
editing data's (`replace_unread` and `copy_page_resources` in
`crates/eps/src/import/native/build.rs`).
Each Objects on Path record measured the bounds of every object it names,
and checked its path, before it was turned down. A thousand copies of a
record whose object is a group of 20,000 paths took 5.6 s to open instead
of about 50 ms. A record now checks its group and ids first, and the path
and objects of a group are measured for one record at most.
#5057 opens ruler guides and guide objects from a .ai's editing data and
closed#779. The File formats row of docs/target-app-parity.md, the known
failures in docs/file-format-parity.md, G9 in docs/gaps.md and
docs/roadmap.md still listed guides as lost.
An object whose art style holds Drop Shadow, Inner Glow, Outer Glow,
Feather, Round Corners or Scribble now opens as itself with those
effects live, in their order. Feather is read under the name and key
the files use (`Adobe Fuzzy Mask`, `Radius`).
Each setting is read only when it is written as its kind (`/Int`,
`/Real`, a fill style for a color) with a value in range. An unknown
key or choice, a missing setting, or a Scribble with a color of its own
keeps the drawn look, where the reader used to cast, clamp or default
the value.
dataset.import and variable.loadLibrary added an undo step, cleared Redo
and marked a saved document modified even when the variables and data
sets came out as they were, such as the same CSV or library loaded
again. Both now build the new variables on a copy and record a step only
when it differs. variable.loadLibrary's params text and docs/mcp.md say
so.
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.
Undo, Redo and a canceled undo group put back an earlier document but
left the Variables panel highlight as it was. After renaming the
highlighted variable and undoing, the highlight still named the new
name: a variable defined later under that name showed highlighted
without a click, and Delete removed it.
Each of these paths now clears a highlight whose variable the restored
document does not define, as Delete Variables and Load Variable Library
already did.
The legacy type helpers and tests move from the end of crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs to after text_objects_are_slots_named_after_their_story, and the helper stream7 is renamed type_stream7.
Legacy type (`To` ... `TO`) now reads `min opt max TC` and `min opt max TW`
into the paragraph's letter and word spacing, `hangingQuotes Tq` into Roman
hanging punctuation, and `hyphenate limit lead tail max Th` into hyphenation
on or off, After First, Before Last and the Hyphen Limit (0 when the limit
flag is 0). Values are kept to the ranges the Justification and Hyphenation
options take, and a spacing triple out of order goes back to its default.
Operands of the legacy type attributes are read by their place: an attribute
whose operands are missing, are not numbers, or are flags other than 0 and 1
stays as it was. Before, a value that was not a number shifted the later
operands (`5 /x 7 Ti` set indents of 5, 7 and 0), and a bad `TA` or `Ta`
turned kerning on or set the alignment to left. One long `Tx` no longer goes
past the reader's limit on characters.
A clipping path painted with a stroke (`W S`, `W B`) lost the stroke when
a .ai file opened from its editing data. The clipping path now keeps it,
and it paints over the clipped art as a clipping path's stroke does in
VectorCraft. A gradient-filled clipping path stroked with `1 BB` or `2 BB`
put the stroke on the painted copy of its fill, under the clipped art; it
now goes on the clipping path too. Several clipping paths in one group
make one compound path, which keeps their stroke, opacity and blend mode
when they all have the same ones.
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.
