The panel cleared its swatch selection when the active document or the
selected art changed, but kept the Shift-click range anchor. A Shift-click
in the other document then selected every swatch from a name clicked in
the first document (for example White) to the clicked one. The anchor is
now cleared with the selection, so the Shift-click selects only the
clicked swatch.
Type on a path from the editing data's text document came in at the
font's advances, while the file's own layout (and its page) closes the
glyphs up round the outside of a curve and opens them up round the
inside, even where the frame keeps no spacing. Round a circle the type
ran on past where the page ends it.
The spacing (Type on a Path Options > Spacing) that reproduces the
layout is now fitted from the layout's glyph positions, advances and
turns, using the text engine's own model, and set on the imported text
object. Corners and straight runs are left out of the fit.
The corner placement of placed files was tried only when the first
placement failed the comparison with the page. A small logo in the wrong
place differs too little to fail, so it stayed there. When the corner
placement draws closer to the page and still matches it, use it.
A .ai whose layers hold placed (linked) PDFs and no text object came in as
its PDF part, saying its layers had no text objects for its page's text.
The PDF part draws each placed file, type and all, where the layers show
its preview, so type that lies inside the placed files (at either of their
placements) is theirs and needs no text object. Type outside them still
does.
An Illustrator EPS draws its crop marks after the last layer, between
%AI3_BeginCrops and %AI3_EndCrops (inside userdict /AI3_noCropMarks known
not { ... } if). The reader took them for art outside the layers, and the
whole file came in as its page in one layer. The section is now skipped,
as other non-art sections are; the crop area is %AI3_Cropmarks.
In the editing data of a .ai or EPS file, a gradient mesh's own state
(`Xy`) comes right after its `/End X!`, before its `Xd` and `XW`, as a
group's comes after its `U`. The reader took it as the next object's, so
a Multiply shadow mesh came in as Normal and painted opaque white over
the art under it, while the file's page shows the shadow.
An `Xy` read straight after a mesh ends now also applies to that mesh.
An `Xy` after the mesh's `Xd` and `XW` stays the next object's.
Some files write a handle weight of 0 on some gradient mesh corners. The
reader took only weights of 1, so the mesh and the whole file's layers
were unread. A weight of 0 draws as the same cubic edge against the files'
pages; other weights still leave the mesh unread.
bs.tsv: Bosnian (Latin script, Ijekavian) catalog covering every key of
VectorCraft's other catalogs, its wording shared with storytold/craft-i18n
locales/bs/ and the strings craft-i18n lacks translated new. Every bs-*
locale selects it; counts use one/few/other. Locale and plural tests,
localization docs and an attribution entry (AI-assisted, not yet

Effect › Color Effects › Duotone… (addon.color.duotone, also in Object ›
Plug-ins › Color Effects) prints the grey-equivalent tone of each colour
with one to four inks, each with its own tone curve. It is a colour
adjustment like the add-on's others, so it stacks with them and works as
a filter through addon.color.filter.
- One tone of a swatch the document has gives a tint of that swatch,
linked, so a spot tone separates onto its plate; several tones give
the CMYK mix of their tints (the inks overprint, so they multiply).
- Colour adjustments now map paints with their swatch links
(ColorMap::apply_link); the existing adjustments behave as before.
- Skip Objects with Spot Colors leaves spot-linked colours as they are.
- The dialog has a row per tone and the picked tone's curve (the Curves
graph, reused), its points and Reset to Linear / Inverse.
Print Ink Fixes (addon.color.printFixes, Object › Plug-ins › Color
Effects › Print Ink Fixes…) scales CMYK colours over a total ink limit
down to it, removes white overprint and sets black overprint (Overprint
Black's logic) in a CMYK document, as one undo step, and reports what
changed. RGB documents are refused.
The panel opens both under Inks.
Deferred: an opaque undercoat, tones for type only, extra gradient stops
for smoother tints, curve flip and all-100 % buttons.
Each traced path filtered the whole library for its color, twice when
no swatch of that color was linked. The color-to-paint lookup is now
built once before the paths are filled. The first linked swatch of a
color still gives the fill, and the first swatch of that color
otherwise.
When a process swatch listed before a global or spot swatch showed the
same color, a traced fill of that color took the process swatch and
stayed unlinked. Of the swatches that trace as one color, the first
linked one now gives the fill, and the first one otherwise.
With the Perspective Selection tool, Ctrl+Alt-drag (Command+Option-drag on
macOS) now copies objects on their perspective plane, as Alt/Option-drag
does. Before, Cmd/Ctrl lent the last selection tool even with Alt held, so
the drag made a flat copy. Cmd/Ctrl alone still lends the last selection
tool, and the cursor follows the same rule.
Follow-ups to the review of #4697 and #4698:
- With textAs: outlines, a .ai saved without PDF compatibility, read
from its editing data alone, has its type outlined too, as an empty
page or a text-only placeholder already did.
- Threaded type read from the editing data holds its story in its first
frame: it now flows through its frames before it is outlined, so each
frame's outlines show the text it holds, and the outlined frames
leave their threads.
- Each outline group keeps its type's opacity, blend mode, isolation,
opacity mask and effects (the same carry-over the flattener uses).
- A gradient-mesh corner (/N) holding anything but numbers is unread,
instead of being read with the numbers after it shifted into its
colour and opacity.
A page cropped to the art is recognised in a UserUnit page's units too,
when the art's box is the page in those units and the artboard isn't the
page in points. Such pages are taken only when every page is the art's
box, and only the first page's type is read: the later pages are copies
whose type was moved by the first page's offset and could fill the
layers' text objects twice.
prune_unseen ran before the retry that moves placed files to their box's
corner, and that retry cloned the pruned layers: text an image covered
only at its first placement was already gone, so the file came in without
it or as its PDF part. Clone the layers before pruning and prune each
placement on its own.
Character attribute 12 of the editing data's text document is the case
(1 Small Caps, 2 All Caps). The reader skipped it, so type set in All Caps
came in as typed, in lower or mixed case where the page draws capitals.
Map it onto CharStyle::all_caps and CharStyle::small_caps.
A successful command.batch now records its last Unite, Intersect or other
Pathfinder step as the operation Repeat Pathfinder runs, so playing an
action from the Actions panel updates it. A batch that fails and rolls back
leaves the previous operation in place. action.batch, which runs an action
over other files or data sets, does not set it.
When Alt switches the Pencil (with Alt key toggles to Smooth Tool on)
or the Blob Brush to the Smooth tool, the drag sent the drawing tool's
own Fidelity (1.5 by default) to path.smoothRegion. The Smooth tool
sends its own Fidelity (2.5 by default, set in Smooth Tool Options).
Both tools now smooth with the Smooth tool's Fidelity. The engine gives
them the stored Smooth Fidelity when it makes the tool, and again when
Smooth Tool Options changes while one of them is active. Each tool's
own Fidelity still sets how its strokes are fitted.
Every successful Shape Mode or Pathfinder operation now sets the
operation that Repeat Pathfinder runs, including direct
object.pathfinder.* commands, not only the panel's buttons. Trap,
compound-shape edits and live effects leave it unchanged, and a failed
operation keeps the earlier one. The panel menu names the remembered
operation, and Repeat runs it on the current selection with the current
Pathfinder Options.
With too few objects selected, Cmd/Ctrl+4 leaves the art as it is and
shows the panel's selection message in the status bar. Adds the
"no Pathfinder operation applied yet" rows to the Catalan and Turkish
catalogs, and tests for direct and failed operations, Trap, compound
shapes, current options, a one-path selection and the default keys.
A straight Knife cut now starts only when Alt is held at the press.
Alt pressed later in the drag, even before the pointer moves, leaves
the cut freehand. Releasing Alt during a straight cut keeps it
straight.
With Shift+Alt, the cut keeps to 45° steps from the horizontal and
vertical whatever the Constrain Angle. The Pencil's straight line
still steps from the Constrain Angle.
Tests cover Alt after the press, Alt only at the release, a 90° cut,
a 30° Constrain Angle, and the cut boundaries in the engine.
