With Copy Links on and Copy Fonts off, File › Package still read every
placed PDF or .ai page to find the fonts of its type, and then dropped
them. With Copy Links on and Relink off, it still read the preview and
the PDF of each placed .vectorcraft document, which only the rewritten
copy uses.
Package now reads the placed pages for their fonts only with Copy Fonts
on, and it reads the preview and the PDF only with Relink on. With Copy
Fonts off, packaging a document that places the 60 pages of a PDF took
about 390 ms in a release build and now takes about 20 ms. The package
it writes is the same.
A PDF or .ai page placed linked is a placed document, and File ›
Package listed only the fonts of the document's own type, so the fonts
of the page's type were left out of Fonts/ where an embedded page's
were copied. Package now reads each linked page a document places and
adds the fonts of its type, also when another document placing the same
file copied it first, and also with copyLinks off.
The File Handling preference Link Placed PDF and .ai Files
(linkPlacedPdf) is removed. File › Place with Link now places a page of
a PDF, .ai or .ait file read as PDF pages as a linked placed document,
as it links a raster image, and link: false embeds the page. Link is on
by default in the Place dialog and in file.place, so a PDF or .ai page
placed from a file, which used to be embedded, is now linked unless
Link is off. A password or textAs: "outlines" still embeds, and so do
EPS and PostScript .ai files.
The Place dialog's Link tooltip describes a PDF or .ai file as a
document.
A .ai file read from its editing data (its PDF part only a placeholder)
finds the files its art places by name, beside it. Package now copies
those files into the same folder as the .ai file, and warns when one has
to be copied under another name.
File › Place with Link kept a link only to raster images and VectorCraft
documents. A PDF, .ai or .ait page was always embedded as a group, so
Update Links never saw a newer version of the file.
A new preference, File Handling › Link Placed PDF and .ai Files
(linkPlacedPdf), is off by default. With it on, Link places the page as
a placed document, as it places a VectorCraft document: the object
keeps the file's bytes, a preview, the page number and the page's box
(crop, art, trim, bleed or media, stored as page_box). Links check,
update and relink it, Break Link and Object › Expand give the group
placing it without Link gives, every output draws the page's vectors,
and saving and reopening keep the link. With the preference off, or
with a password or textAs: "outlines", the page is embedded as before.
EPS and PostScript .ai files are still embedded.
Package copies a placed PDF or .ai file as it is. The Place dialog's
Link tooltip describes a PDF or .ai file as a document while the
preference is on. Relinking a placed document to a file that is not a
VectorCraft document, a PDF or a PDF-compatible .ai file says so.

File › Package… read every linked file and font and wrote the package
on the UI thread, so the window stopped responding until the package
was written. For a document that links 50 images of 21 MB each, OK
with Background Export off, which does the same work, takes a median
of 2.25 s in a release build on Windows.
With Enable Background Export on (Preferences › File Handling), OK now
takes the options, the report's Document Info text and a snapshot of
the document, and closes the dialog. The thread that writes background
saves and exports then collects the links and fonts and writes the
package. The same OK takes 0.001 s, and the package holds the same
bytes. A save of unsaved changes that Package starts is written first.
With the preference off, on the web and over MCP and scripts, the
package is made at once with the same reply as before.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
Document Info had no Repeat Objects category, and document.info
refused category "repeats". The reference app's Document Info panel
menu lists Repeat Objects after Font Details.
Document Info now has a Repeat Objects category after Embedded Images.
It lists each radial, grid and mirror Repeat object by name with its
kind and the number of instances it makes. For a grid it gives the
rows and columns instead, followed by the number of instances it
draws when that is fewer. The count comes from the new
RepeatSpec::instances, which gives the number of instances a repeat
draws. That number is smaller than its options give when repeats
nested in its source would pass the instance budget. With Selection
Only the category lists the Repeat objects in the selection.
document.info gives them as repeatObjects, the panel's flyout offers
the category, and the text report that Document Info › Save… and
File › Package write has a REPEAT OBJECTS section. The title has a row
in every catalog.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Document Info had no Brushes category, and document.info refused
category "brushes". The reference app's Document Info panel menu lists
Brushes after Graphic Styles.
Document Info now has a Brushes category after Graphic Styles. For the
whole document it lists the Brushes panel's brushes. With Selection
Only it lists the brushes that the selected objects' strokes use, each
once. document.info gives the names as brushNames, the panel's flyout
offers the category, and the text report that Document Info › Save…
and File › Package write has a BRUSHES section.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The report kept a placed document's LINKED FILES and FONTS inside its parent's list. Each document
now gets its own sections, the packaged one first and unchanged (no Document: line), then each
placed document's, headed by its file. Drops a debug_assert and an unneeded mut, runs rustfmt, and
documents the nested packaging in docs/mcp.md and the ROADMAP.

package.rs: the collector takes main's font lookup (fonts found by any of their names, in the
version the type names, a missing style shown in its closest one, files named by packaged_name).

File › Package and Document Info › Font Details looked fonts up with
FontDb::face and compared the face's family with the name the document
stores. A font a document named by another of its names (a PostScript
or localized name, as SVG and PDF files do) was reported as not
available and left out of the package, although the canvas drew it and
exports embedded it.
- Package and Font Details resolve fonts with FontDb::resolve, as
text.fonts and the renderer do. A style the family lacks is still
copied as its closest style; the report now names the style it
copies, and Font Details lists the font as substituted, with that
style's file and permission.
- FontFace::embeddable reads fsType as exports do (Embedding), so fonts
that allow bitmap embedding only (bit 9), or that set the restricted
bit together with reserved bit 0 (0x0003), are no longer copied.
Document Info's permission labels follow the same rule: when a font
sets more than one usage bit, the label names the most permissive
one.
- The Package dialog and its status line name the fonts it didn't copy.
File > Package (saved documents; unsaved changes are saved first) writes
<folder>/<name>/<document>.vectorcraft, the linked files in Links/ (relinked in the
packaged copy), the fonts its type uses in Fonts/ (leaving out fonts whose licence
doesn't allow embedding) and <document> Report.txt, then offers Show Package. Without a
folder (the web, agents) the same files come back as a zip.
Document Info's flyout picks one category (document, objects, styles, spot colours,
patterns, gradients, symbols, fonts, font details, linked and embedded images) and Save…
writes the text report Package shares.
Engine: file.package {folder?, name?, copyLinks?, linksFolder?, relink?, copyFonts?,
report?}; document.info gains category, format: text and sections. Text: FontFace
path, fs_type and embeddable. UI: ui.packageDialog (dialog `package`), file.showPackage,
docInfo.save.
