artboard.setProps and artboard.fitToSelection read an `index` that is
negative, fractional, a string or null as 0 and edited the first
artboard, and artboard.setProps edited the first artboard when the
call named no `index`. artboard.duplicate, artboard.copy and
artboard.cut took the Artboard tool's artboard for such an `index`.
artboard.reorder failed for it with "missing index".
These commands now read `index` as artboard.delete, artboard.move and
artboard.fitToArt do, and fail with "no such artboard" when it names
no artboard; the document and the clipboard stay as they were.
artboard.setProps without `index` fails with "missing index". Without
`index`, artboard.fitToSelection still fits the first artboard and the
copy commands still take the Artboard tool's artboard.
Docs: docs/mcp.md.
Crop Image's trim (object.cropImage {trim: true}) decoded the image
within MAX_RASTER_ALLOC (2 GB) and then converted it to RGBA. The
decoder holds the decoded image, before conversion, to that allowance,
so a gray or 1-bit image within it could take up to four times as much
once converted.
Trim now reads the image's size from its header first and, when
width × height × 4 is over the allowance, fails before anything is
decoded, with the check and message Load Texture uses: "an image of
W × H pixels is too large to draw". Images within the allowance are
trimmed as before.
View › Guides › Release Guides only cleared the guide flag on paths
made with Make Guides. Ruler guides could not become paths by any
route, and with only ruler guides selected the command released every
guide path in the document instead.
Release Guides now also releases the selected ruler guides. Each one
becomes an open straight path with no fill or stroke at the top of the
guide's layer: an artboard guide runs across its artboard, and a
canvas guide runs across the bounds of all the artboards. The ruler
guide is deleted, the released paths are selected, and the release is
one undo step. With no guide selected, every guide path is released,
as before.
view.guides.release takes index (a ruler guide) and ids (guide paths,
and the guide paths inside them). Both are refused while guides are
locked, and index takes only a guide on a shown, unlocked layer.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The Select menu had no Update Selection: to add objects to a saved
selection or take objects out of it, the selection had to be saved
again under the same name. Select › Update Selection (`select.update`)
now gives the saved selection last recalled the objects that are
selected, in one undo step. It is enabled while objects are selected
and the document still holds that saved selection.
Each open document keeps session ids for its saved selections, so the
recalled one is found under a new name after Edit Selection…, and after
Undo and Redo. Deleting it disables Update Selection until another
saved selection is recalled or the delete is undone.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Fit to Artwork Bounds resized the active artboard to the bounds of all
the art in the document, wherever that art was. With art on two
artboards, fitting one of them stretched it over both.
artboard.fitToArt now takes `indices` and fits each artboard to the
art on it, in one undo step. An object counts for every artboard its
drawn bounds overlap, and the artboard is fitted to all of its bounds,
also where it reaches past the artboard's edge. Art flush with an edge
from outside does not count. An artboard with no art on it keeps its
size and place, and the command fails with "no artwork" when none of
its artboards has art. Object › Artboards and the Artboards panel menu
pass the selected artboards (the Artboard tool's, else the active one),
and a recorded action leaves them out. Fit to Selected Art still
resizes the active artboard.

Transform Each had Reflect X and Reflect Y swapped relative to Effect › Distort ›
Transform and the Transform panel. Properties flip buttons also used inverted
tooltips. Align them so Horizontal is left-right and Vertical is top-bottom.

Lock › All Artwork Above and Hide › All Artwork Above went through the
objects above each selected object in its top-level layer, one selected
object at a time. For each object they looked up in a list whether it
was selected or already found, and they computed its bounds again for
each selected object below it until one overlapped it. With 100 tiles
selected under 25,000 rectangles, a release build of vectorcraft-cli
took 6.4 s for Lock, and with all of 5,001 objects selected it took
8.8 s and locked nothing.
The commands now go through each top-level layer that holds a selected
object once, and check each object that is not selected against the
bounds of the selected objects below it. The selected objects and the
objects found are kept in sets, and each object's bounds are computed
once. The objects they lock or hide, the count, the selection and the
undo step are the same as before. On the same documents Lock now takes
under 0.1 s.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
Trim decoded the image with the decoder's default 512 MB allocation limit, so
a 300 ppi roll (6614 x 59055 px, 1.56 GB as RGBA) that opens fine failed with
"the image's pixels can't be read". It now decodes with the allowance opening
already has (MAX_RASTER_ALLOC: 2 GB, 512 MB on the web). A CMYK image, kept as
its ink amounts, has no alpha: trim leaves it alone (trimmed: false) instead
of failing to decode it.

Rarely set fields move into one optional boxed NodeExtras, and large NodeKind payloads (images,
live shapes, blends, envelopes) are boxed. Every object, and every undo step that copies it,
shrinks: a 50k-path move keeps ~24.5 MB per step instead of ~40 MB. Files stay byte-identical
(Node keeps its flat JSON through a borrowed Serialize and a from-wire Deserialize, no flatten),
and loading is slightly faster. Undo and redo reuse their step's size estimate instead of
walking the document again (8.3 -> 5.6 ms for a 50k-path move).

Select All, All on Active Artboard and Inverse select from selectable:
the visible, unlocked objects on visible, unlocked, non-template
layers and sublayers, or in isolation mode the visible, unlocked
objects in the isolated group or layer and in its visible, unlocked,
non-template sublayers. Other Select menu commands did not use it:
- Clipping Masks, All Text Objects, Stray Points and Open Paths
selected hidden and locked objects and the objects in hidden or
locked groups and sublayers.
- Point Text Objects, Area Text Objects, Brush Strokes, Bristle Brush
Strokes and the Same commands for symbols, fonts and text colors
checked an object's own flags and its layer's, but not those of the
groups and sublayers between them.
- Next Object Above and Below selected the object beside the selected
one even when it was hidden, locked or a sublayer.
- A saved selection picked from the Select menu selected again the
objects hidden or locked since it was saved.
- Direction Handles direct-selected the hidden and locked paths in a
selected group.
- In isolation mode, the commands in the first two bullets, the other
Same commands, All on Same Layers and a recalled saved selection
selected art outside the isolated group or layer. Next Object Above
and Below and Direction Handles did so only when the selection
already held something that was not inside the isolated group or
layer.
In isolation mode selectable checked the flags of the isolated group's
or layer's objects and sublayers, but not those of the group or layer
itself or of the groups and layers it is in. Select All, All on Active
Artboard and Inverse still selected the isolated group's or layer's
objects after it, or a group or layer it is in, was hidden or locked.
In isolation mode selectable now returns nothing while the isolated
group or layer, or a group or layer it is in, is hidden, locked or a
template layer. walk_selectable visits the objects selectable returns
and the objects inside them, leaving out hidden and locked objects
with what they hold. It visits nothing in a hidden, locked or template
layer, sublayer or group. The commands in the bullets above now select
from it. All on Same Layers takes the objects on the selected objects'
layers that selectable returns. Next Object Above and Below pass over
the objects walk_selectable leaves out, and leave the selection as it
is when none is left in that direction.
The params texts of Direction Handles and Recall Selection,
docs/mcp.md (Object selection, Saved selections) and one line in the
evidence list of docs/target-app-parity.md describe the change.
These commands edited the document even when nothing changed, so the
call recorded an undo step, emptied Redo and marked the document
modified:
- Change Case to the case the text has, Smart Punctuation on type with
nothing left to change or on a selection with no type in it, and
Find and Replace when every match is replaced with the text it is.
All three rewrite the text runs through edit_runs, which now edits
only when a run changes.
- Convert To Area Type with no point type among the objects, and
Convert To Point Type with no area type among them.
- Type on a Path Options given the values the type has, without Flip:
OK in the dialog with nothing changed, or a Type on a Path effect
the type has.
- Fill with Placeholder Text on type that holds its placeholder text
already.
- type.insert with an empty text on type that ends with a run of
text.
These commands now return without editing the document. The replies
have the same form as before. A call that changes something still
records one undo step.
One line in the evidence list of docs/target-app-parity.md names every
command above except type.insert.
These commands edited the document even when nothing changed, so the
call recorded an undo step, emptied Redo and marked the document
modified:
- All Artwork Above and Other Layers (Object › Lock and
Object › Hide) with nothing to lock or hide: no object above the
selection, no other layer, or every one already locked (Lock) or
hidden (Hide).
- Transform Each with no object to transform, and without Copy when
both scales are 100% and there is no move, rotation or reflection.
- Rearrange All Artboards when no artboard moves, or with no artboard.
- stroke.widthPoint.set and stroke.widthPoint.copy when the profile
comes out as it was, and stroke.widthProfile.set with the profile the
strokes have already.
- Liquify when the stroke reshapes no path, and Puppet Warp given the
pins the art holds already (rest: true), or without rest when every
pin stays where it is and turns the art by 0° or is free.
- Define Perspective Grid with the grid the document has, Attach to
Active Plane with no object, Release with Perspective on art that is
not in perspective, Move Plane to where the plane is, without copies,
and Move Plane to Match Object when the plane is there and active
already.
- Move, Nudge and Transform in Perspective without Copy when no object
moves (1e-9 pt or less along the plane or its normal, Snap to Grid
included, or the identity), and Transform Again after one.
These commands now return without editing the document. The replies
have the same form as before. Transform Each with Copy and no object
to transform no longer empties the selection. Puppet Warp without rest,
with every pin where it is and turning the art by 0° or free, no longer
turns a live shape into a plain path. All Artwork Above still deselects
selected objects that are hidden or locked. Width Point counts a change
of 1e-9 or less in a point's place or width factor (its width over half
the stroke weight) as none. OK in Width Point Edit with the widths it
shows, with or without Adjust Adjoining Width Points, records no undo
step. After a move in perspective that moved nothing, Transform Again
repeats the identity.
One line in the evidence list of docs/target-app-parity.md names the
commands.
Object › Lock › All Artwork Above and Object › Hide › All Artwork Above
lock or hide the objects that are above the selection in its layer and
overlap it. Such an object can be a group or a sublayer that holds
another selected object. The commands left that object selected, the
key object included. Align then moved the locked object, or aligned
the other selected objects to the hidden key object. object.lock and
object.hide clear the selection, and layer.setProps, which the Layers
panel's eye and lock columns run, deselects what it hides or locks.
Both commands now deselect every selected object that is locked or
hidden after the command, as layer.setProps does, and clear the key
object when it is one of them. Undo selects the objects again and
restores the key object.

- Guides on a hidden or locked layer leave the selection (Selection::prune,
run after every edit and selection change), their Layers rows neither
select nor drag them, and guide.move / guide.remove / guide.setLayer
refuse them; guide.setLayer refuses a locked target layer, as dragged
rows are refused there.
- A new guide goes where new art goes (the current layer, else the top
shown and unlocked one; refused when there is none), so it never lands
on a hidden layer and vanishes.
- Layer commands keep guides with their layers: Duplicate (and Alt-drag
copies of rows) copy a layer's guides onto the copy, Merge Selected and
Flatten Artwork put the merged layers' guides on the merged layer and
Flatten discards a hidden layer's. One shared doc predicate for "the
layer a guide is on"; the deleted-layer cleanup moves into the doc.
- Tests: engine tests for the above and their undo, a doc check that an
old guide reads with no layer and none is written, and a headless
Layers panel test of guide rows (select, drag to another layer, locked).
- Translations for the new message; docs and a ROADMAP progress line.

Guide rows in the Layers panel drag (the selected guides when the row is
one of them) onto any row of another layer, which lights up, and go to
that layer in one undo step (guide.setLayer takes indexes). Guides on no
layer, from files saved before guides had layers, go on the top visible,
unlocked layer when a document opens or is reverted.

A ruler guide goes on the current layer (guide.add {layer}), shows,
hides, locks and is deleted with its layer, is listed in the Layers panel
as a row that selects it, and moves to another layer (guide.setLayer).
Guides on a hidden layer neither show nor snap; those on a locked layer
can't be picked.

A Shift-click on a guide adds it to the selected art (guide.select
toggle keeps the art), and Shift-adding or -removing art keeps the
selected guides; a new selection still clears them. With both selected,
Delete deletes the art and the guides in one undo step (not when ids are
given).

object.cropImage {trim: true} cuts the selected image to the box of its pixels
with any alpha, copying them as they are (no re-render, no resampling) and
placing them where they were. An image with nothing to cut is left as it is
and isn't an error (trimmed: false), so a script can trim every image it
opens. Print-ready PNGs usually carry transparent padding; with this, Fit to
Artwork Bounds can size to the art.

Discord feedback: Image Trace and the other image options were hidden when an image was
selected; copy, paste, Image Trace should work from the Control bar as in Illustrator.
- Control bar, one image selected: Linked File/Embedded, file name, colour mode and PPI, then
Embed (+ Edit Original) or Unembed…, an Image Trace split button (click: Default preset;
arrow: trace with any preset), Mask and Crop Image, in place of Fill and Stroke.
- Control bar, one Image Trace object selected: "Image Tracing", its Preset (choosing another
traces it again), the Image Trace panel and Expand.
- Properties panel: Image Trace (split), Crop Image and Mask in Quick Actions for an image; an
Image Trace section (Preset, Expand, Release) for an Image Trace object. Embed/Unembed buttons
are shared with the Control bar (place::link_buttons).
- New engine command object.maskImage ("Mask"): clips the selected image with a clipping path
on its outline (rotated with it) and selects that path so its handles crop; one undo step.
- widgets::split_button (flat button with a menu arrow).

Guides dragged out of a ruler did not snap at all (only Shift to the ruler's
ticks): they now go through the engine (`Session::ruler_guide`, a
`NewGuide` previewing `guide.add`, one undo step) and snap as a moved guide
does: with Smart Guides to the edges, centres (so the sides' midpoints) and
anchors of the art and of the artboards, labelled; with Smart Guides off,
View > Snap to Point pulls new and moved guides onto anchors. Moving art
with the Selection tool already snapped flush to artboard edges and centres
with Smart Guides on; a test now covers it.
Artboard guides: `Guide.artboard` holds an artboard id (written only when
set, so canvas guides save as before and older files open unchanged).
`guide.add {artboard}` makes one, `guide.list` reports it; a guide dragged
out of a ruler with the Artboard tool belongs to the active artboard. It is
drawn, picked and snapped to across its artboard only, moves with it
(`artboard.move`, a pure move in `artboard.setProps`, `artboard.rearrange`),
is copied with it (`artboard.duplicate`, Alt-drag copy) and deleted with it
(`artboard.delete`, the guide selection kept in step).
Guides as Layers rows with their own lock and hide (part d) stay open: ruler
guides are not layer nodes; Lock Guides locks them all, and Make Guides
paths are Layers rows already. Listed in the ROADMAP parity row.

Switching to CMYK separates RGB greys through the CMYK profile into
four-colour greys and a rich black, as Illustrator does; only Gray
colours stay on the black plate. The command catalogue said "greys stay
greys", which read as if R = G = B colours went to K only.
- file.documentColorMode (and its alias) and document.open {colorMode}
take grays: "profile" (default, unchanged) | "black". With "black",
RGB greys with R = G = B convert to K only, K = their grey value (the
inks Edit Colors > Convert to Grayscale before the switch gives);
other colours convert as before. Swatches, tints, gradient stops and
pattern tiles follow the same rule.
- Pattern tiles are now converted with the rest of the document (they
kept RGB colours in a CMYK document before), as the command said.
- The command catalogue, docs/mcp.md and the ROADMAP say what happens to
Gray colours and RGB greys.
- Tests: the profile path (four-colour greys, rich black, pattern tiles,
Gray kept), grays: "black" over art, swatches, tints, gradients and
patterns, document.open, and the issue's file over MCP through a PDF
export and back.

Guides dragged out of the rulers could not be touched again: no tool hit-tested
them, so a click on a guide went to the art under it.
- The Selection, Direct Selection and Group Selection tools pick a ruler guide
within the selection tolerance (over the art; Direct Selection takes an
anchor on it first) through a shared tools::rulerguide::GuideEdit. A drag
moves the selected guides in one undo step (Alt copies them, Shift snaps the
dragged one to the ruler's ticks, otherwise it snaps to pixels, the grid or,
with Smart Guides, the art's edges, centres and anchors); dropped off the
canvas onto its ruler, the guide is deleted. Hidden or locked guides can't be
picked; the pointer shows which way a guide moves.
- Selection::guides holds the selected guides (on their own, like slices); the
canvas draws them in the selection colour. Delete/Backspace (edit.clear)
delete them, the arrow keys (object.nudge) nudge them, Lock Guides and Hide
Guides deselect them.
- Commands for agents: guide.list, guide.select {indexes, toggle?},
guide.move {dx?, dy?, copy?} (besides {index, pos}) and guide.remove {index?};
guide positions out of range are refused. Documented in docs/mcp.md.
- Shift while dragging a new guide out of a ruler snaps it to the ticks too
(Unit::ruler_step, shared with the rulers' drawing).

A file's saved selections are untrusted: on load at most 25 are kept, names
are trimmed, capped at 255 characters and unique, and ids the document
doesn't have are dropped (after fix_next_id such an id would select whatever
object is drawn next). Save and Edit Selection cap names the same way. The
limit, the name cleanup and the default "Selection N" live on
SavedSelection, shared by the engine, the Save Selection dialog and the
Select menu's slot table. docs/mcp.md documents the select.save /
savedList / recall / editSaved commands; ROADMAP counts 13 stubbed menu items
and names what's still missing (Update Selection, the Layers panel menu).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Save Selection… asks for a name and keeps the selection in the document (saved with
the file, undoable, at most 25) instead of in session memory keyed by the title.
Each saved selection is listed at the bottom of the Select menu and a click selects
its objects again. Edit Selection… opens a dialog with the list to rename or delete
them, applied together on OK as one undo step (select.editSaved takes `edits`).
The menu stub count in the ROADMAP goes from 16 to 15.
Older native files (.drawcraft or an older format version) open as
"<name> [Converted]" and Save asks for a .vectorcraft name instead of
overwriting them (preference appendConverted). Open Recent Files honours the
0-30 preference; empty slots are hidden (the native menu rebuilds when they,
saved views or User Defined libraries change). File > Document Color Mode is
one command, file.documentColorMode, converting through the colour settings;
choosing the current mode is not an edit, and object.convertDocumentColorMode
stays as an alias the command palette leaves out. New File > Show in Folder
(file.reveal; paths with spaces work on Windows). Native files store the view
they were saved with (Document.last_view, written at save time so it never
dirties the document) and reopen there.

Copy keeps the copied objects with every document resource they use
(Session.clipboard: Clipboard {nodes, images, symbols, patterns,
swatches, graphic_styles, char_styles, para_styles, brushes,
source_artboard, source_layers, source_doc}), following symbols,
patterns, graphic styles and text styles into what they use. Every
edit.paste* brings them in within its undo step: identical resources are
reused, missing ones added, different ones of the same name added
renamed (an earlier paste's copy is reused) and the pasted objects
relinked, graphic style links by id. Global and spot swatches that
conflict ask Merge or Add (swatchConflict; clipboard.conflicts lists
them; the app's Swatch Conflict dialog asks one by one, with Apply to
All). Tint swatches, linked gradient stops, Lab spots and the target's
Spot Colors option are honoured; [Registration] is never copied.
Clipboard SVG exports them too.

Object > Expand… opens a purpose-built dialog (Object, Fill and Stroke
checkboxes, disabled when the selection has nothing for them; Expand
Gradient To: Gradient Mesh or Specify N Objects, default 255). Every
option now does something:
- Object: type to outlines, live shapes to paths, effects baked.
- Stroke: strokes outlined into filled paths.
- Fill: linear/radial gradient fills become N solid rectangles or
concentric ellipses, or a gradient mesh with lines where the colour
changes, inside a clip group shaped like the object; freeform
gradients become a mesh shaped like the object. Colours keep their
stops' colour model. With Fill off gradient fills stay live.
object.expand {} defaults match the dialog (stroke now defaults on);
new query object.expand.info and UI command ui.expandDialog.
Create Gradient Mesh on a gradient-filled object takes the colours the
gradient paints at each point (GradientMesh::for_path_with, from_grid,
highlight).
