- ui-egui: the font-install poll (#2576) only runs on native builds, but its
timestamp field, its initializer and FONT_INSTALL_POLL were compiled for
wasm too, where nothing read them. They're gated like the code that reads
them.
- engine: `Session::store_profile` is only called by the native Load
Profile (cmd/colormgmt.rs); gated the same way.
- app (macOS): `App::logic_frame` checked `!file_dialog_open()` twice, one
`if` nested in an identical one, with the comment repeated. One check.
`cargo xtask wasm` runs `cargo check` without `-D warnings`, so these
warnings didn't fail CI; after this change it prints none.
The same JSON methods as the desktop control server (engine.execute, ui.inspect, ui.screenshot, …),
as promises on window.vectorcraft, like FilmCraft's window.filmcraft: an agent driving the editor in a
browser tab or an <iframe> uses the same commands as the CLI and the MCP server. openFile opens
bytes the way a dropped file opens; captureDownloads keeps saves in the page for readFile.

`vectorcraft-cli run/convert --scale` and the MCP export tool's `scale`
are raster pixels per point, but they were passed to every export, and
DXF reads `scale` as drawing units per unit: a 2x PNG next to a DXF
doubled the drawing and left it unitless ($INSUNITS 0). They now go
only to raster formats. DXF's own scale stays reachable through the
format options.
On Linux the save dialog is the XDG desktop portal's, shown through
rfd. rfd sends no `current_filter` and reads only the file name from
the portal's answer, and the GTK file chooser keeps the typed name
when another file type is picked. With "PDF-compatible .ai" picked,
`poster` typed for a new document was saved as a native
`poster.vectorcraft`, and so was the suggested
`Untitled-1.vectorcraft` left as it was.
When a save offers two or more file types (Save As, Save a Copy, Save
as Template and the first Save of a new document), the app now calls
the portal's SaveFile itself over D-Bus. The dialog starts on the
suggested file's type, and its answer names the type picked. A name
typed without an extension, or the suggested name left as it was,
gets that type's extension. A name typed with another save format's
extension, other than the suggested file's (for Save as Template, a
template format's), is saved in that format, and any other extension
gets the picked type's added. The dialog keeps the window as its
parent on X11 and Wayland, and rfd shows the dialog when the portal
can't. The same code runs on the BSDs; Windows, macOS and the web
build keep their dialogs.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
document.export, document.serialize, document.exportSelection and
Export for Screens rows answered "PDF-compatible .ait template files
can be opened but not written" for a .ait, although
file.saveAsTemplate writes them. The CLI's convert and run --export
call document.export, so vectorcraft-cli convert in.pdf out.ait
failed with that error.
The error now reads "PDF-compatible .ait template files are written
by file.saveAsTemplate", with a row in the 17 catalogs that translate
status messages and in bg, da, id and nl. convert and run --export
write a .ait with file.saveAsTemplate, which writes every artboard
with the .ai options. convert passes --replace-lossy and its .ai flags
on, and refuses --artboard and --range for a .ait.

On a Wayland session a drawing tablet's pen could not draw or click:
winit 0.30 does not bind the Wayland tablet protocol, and neither KWin
(since Plasma 6.3) nor GNOME's Mutter turns tablet input into pointer
input. Linux Display Server's X11 (XWayland) choice let the pen work as
a mouse, but it opened the window through XWayland on every start, also
without a tablet.
Linux Display Server has a third choice, X11 (XWayland) When a Pen Is
Attached (x11WithPen). It opens the window through XWayland on a
Wayland session only when /proc/bus/input/devices lists a pen as the
app starts: a device with the BTN_TOOL_PEN key and the ABS_X and ABS_Y
axes, the check PhotoCraft's tablet.rs makes. Automatic stays the
default. On Linux the Performance page shows a note for tablet pens
that don't draw.
README.md named KDE alone; the KWin commit's message says Mutter does
not emulate tablet events either, so README.md and docs/development.md
now name GNOME. The Pen pressure row of docs/hardware-parity.md said
Linux has pressure through XWayland; winit 0.30 reports none on X11
either.
Docs: README.md, docs/development.md, docs/hardware-parity.md,
docs/target-app-parity.md.
On a machine busy with other builds, five tests on main failed now and
then and passed when run alone. The canvas test for dragging an object
with raster effects gave the render worker 10 s for its frame, which
took 0.10 s alone and 5.8 to 9.4 s with four ui-egui test runs at
once. The three tests_sysclip_probe tests gave the clipboard probe's
thread 2 or 3 s. The control server's persistent-requests test sent
each request with writeln!, which sends the JSON to the socket in many
small writes, and a pause of more than the test's 120 ms line deadline
between two of them closed the connection.
The canvas test now waits up to 60 s for the worker, as another test in
canvas.rs does. The probe tests wait up to 60 s too. The control server
test sends each request line in one write and keeps its 120 ms line
deadline. Only test code changes.
Each swatch or graphic style library now opens in a panel of its own,
`library:<kind>:<library id>`, in the shared docking system: several can be open
at once, and they float, group as tabs, dock and close like any panel.
Opening a library that is open brings its panel forward; Previous / Next
Library show the neighbouring library in the same panel.
The library panel menu gains Persistent. The panels' view, Show Find Field
and Persistent are kept in the UI preferences (`library_panels`); at startup
the persistent panels reopen where the saved layout had them, a library
loaded from a file read again from its path (a missing file is skipped with
a status-bar note). `ui.libraryPanel {panel, library?, view?, showFind?,
persistent?}` reaches all of it; docs/mcp.md documents the panels.
Install Plug-in (plugin.install) now keeps the plug-in's module in a
Plug-ins folder next to the preferences, as Illustrator keeps plug-ins in
its Plug-ins folder, and the desktop app and vectorcraft-cli install the
ones there at startup (a module that doesn't load is skipped with a log
record, at most 512 MB are read). Remove Plug-in deletes it from the
folder. The Additional Plug-ins Folder preference is still loaded from
where it is. Confined MCP servers and VECTORCRAFT_NO_PREFS keep nothing,
as with the PDF preset and colour profile stores.

When pressing Ctrl+P to open the Print dialog and clicking Setup (or Settings), print.printerSetup previously discarded the selected printer name and unconditionally launched explorer ms-settings:printers. On Windows 10, this opened the Windows Settings Printers and scanners page, displaying the list of installed printers instead of the printer driver printing preferences.
Launch Windows native Printing Preferences dialog for the target printer using rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /e /n printer, falling back to the system default printer or Settings if no printer is available or detected. Add unit tests covering command construction and fallback behavior.
Fixes#2569.
After the desktop save panel closes, the app adds the file type's
extension to a name typed without it (or with one the save does not
write). The panel asked only about the name as typed, so on Linux
typing `card` with `card.vectorcraft` in the folder wrote over
`card.vectorcraft` without a question. On Linux the save panel is the
XDG desktop portal, and its GTK and GNOME file choosers return the
name as typed. Windows and macOS add the extension themselves only
when the panel lists file types, and the panels of Document Info's
Save, the presets dialogs' Export…, the CSS Properties export, the
swatch and graphic style library saves and the Libraries panel's
export list none.
When the added extension names a file that exists, Save, Save As, Save
a Copy, Save as Template, the exports and the other writes through a
save panel now ask "“card.vectorcraft” already exists. Replace it?"
first (dialog `replaceFile`). OK runs the write again with the same
answer and replaces the file. Cancel writes nothing and shows the
dialog it was asked over again. The host reports whether a file exists
through a new `Services::exists`.

The EPS reader read PostScript by any name, but the Open and Place
dialogs hid .ps and .epsf files, and a .ps or .epsf file whose header
is only %! could not be opened or placed ("not a format VectorCraft
reads"). The reference app lists .eps, .epsf and .ps under Open and
Place.
- A read-only PostScript format (ps) joins the format table. A .ps
file opens and places through the EPS reader and reports the
ps format. document.export does not write .ps; file.print does.
- .epsf is an EPS extension.
- OPEN_EXTS and PLACE_EXTS list epsf and ps, so the dialogs, the CLI
help and the MCP open_file description list them.
UNASSOCIATED_EXTS lists them too: the macOS bundle declares neither.
- A .ps or .epsf file whose header is only %! now pastes as EPS when
copied in a file manager, as one with a %!PS header already did, and
clipboard.importEps reads PostScript whose header is only %!, which
it rejected before.

PDF presets are kept one file each in a PDF Presets folder, ICC profiles as copies in a Color Profiles folder, next to the preferences; the desktop app and vectorcraft-cli use them. Adds color.removeProfile.

The MCP server read one line, ran it and answered it before reading the next,
so notifications/cancelled was never seen during a call and every request
(even ping) waited behind a running export.
- vectorcraft_doc::cancel: a thread-local cancel token and progress sink that
long work polls. Checkpoints: PDF pages, PDF flattening, geometry bake,
raster-effect flattening, drawing objects, raster artboards, and before any
file is written. A cancelled command returns EngineError::Cancelled and
changes nothing.
- Server::serve reads on its own thread: notifications/cancelled drops a
queued request or stops the running one (no reply, as the MCP spec says),
engine-free requests (ping, the list methods, prompts/get) are answered at
once, a request that would wait behind a call running for 2 s is refused
with -32003 naming that call, and _meta.progressToken gets
notifications/progress (page n of m). Queue and output are bounded.
- The remote backend stops waiting for the app when the call is cancelled.

The tmp() helpers in apps/vectorcraft-cli/tests/cli.rs and fileio.rs
name their folder after the process id (vectorcraft-cli-test-<pid>,
vectorcraft-cli-fileio-<pid> in the temp folder) and never empty or
remove it. When a later run gets the same process id, it finds the
earlier run's files there. mcp_automation_roots then fails on Unix with
EEXIST (Os { code: 17, kind: AlreadyExists, message: "File exists" }):
its first symlink() call finds the link in/escape.svg that the earlier
run made. A stale output file can also let a fileio test read an
earlier run's export.
The first tmp() call in each test process now removes the folder and
creates it again empty. The roots test's body moves into
automation_roots(), and mcp_automation_roots_in_a_folder_an_earlier_run_left
runs it twice in one folder, emptying the folder in between as tmp()
does. Without the removal the second run fails with the same error.
On macOS, the save sheets of Save As, Save a Copy and the first Save of
a new document have a Format menu again, and the Save as Template sheet
now has one too. The panel is an NSSavePanel built in
apps/vectorcraft/src/mac_save_format.rs, and the menu is its accessory
view, set before beginSheetModalForWindow:completionHandler: shows the
sheet. The menu from #1235 was added after rfd had begun the sheet, and
recent macOS versions dismissed the sheet at once (#1800, #1831,
#1518); #1855 removed it.
Choosing a format changes the extension in the name field and puts
that format's extension first in the allowed file types, which AppKit
adds to a name typed without one. A name typed with another listed
extension is saved in that format. Save panels with one file type and
the open and folder panels are still shown by rfd.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/ui-parity.md.
A folder or app bundle, a link to another kind of file, or a file with
any other extension is refused with a message instead of being handed to
the system's default app. On Windows, a path containing a quotation mark
is refused before it reaches Explorer.
The install folder is where the user sees the app: next to VectorCraft.app on
macOS (nothing is written inside the signed bundle) and next to the .AppImage
file on Linux ($APPIMAGE; the mounted executable's folder is read-only).
The first time VectorCraftData is created, the settings in the user's profile
are copied into it, so a portable zip that gains portable.txt keeps its users'
settings; the originals stay, a second start copies nothing, a copy that fails
halfway is logged and left as it is.
VECTORCRAFT_NO_PREFS never looks for the marker or creates the folder; a
portable copy skips the one-time read of DrawCraft's old settings; the
unwritable-folder warning goes to the log only (eprintln! panics on a closed
standard error).
When a graphics driver crashed the process while the window started,
as Intel's Direct3D 12 driver (igd12umd64.dll) did on an Intel UHD
Graphics 605 (#2243), the next start picked the same adapter again. The
restart without a failing adapter and the first-frame watch run inside
the process, so the crash ended them along with it.
Each start now writes graphics-start.json in the log folder before the
graphics start, adds the adapter once one is picked, and clears both
when the first frame reaches the screen or the app ends without
crashing. A start that finds an earlier start still recorded there
leaves that adapter out, as a restart does, logs it and shows a note in
the status bar. When the crash came while the adapters were being
listed (wgpu's Direct3D 12 backend creates a device on each GPU to list
it), the next starts list OpenGL's adapters alone, except on macOS. The
adapters stay left out until the app version or the Graphics Processor
preference changes, a start shows its first frame on one, or no adapter
is left. WGPU_BACKEND and WGPU_ADAPTER_NAME choose regardless of the
record.
Docs: docs/development.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
--help and -h used to be taken for a file to open: from a terminal, SSH or an
agent's shell the window opened, or the start hung or failed without a display.
They now print the desktop app's options and point to vectorcraft-cli for
headless work, exiting before logging, preferences or the window, as
--version does.
perf --deep printed the memory at eight points of its run, and no row
showed memory that the run took and freed between two readings. With
--paths 2000, a release build on Windows printed 430 MB as its largest
row, and the process's peak working set was 612 MB. On Windows the
memory row after rendering the photos also printed its value 3 columns
right of the others: its name is 55 characters, and the name column is
52 characters wide. The tracked row for the photos printed its value 2
columns right of the other tracked rows: its name is 54 characters, and
their name column is 52 characters wide. In the budget table the handle
and segment drag rows printed their values 1 and 2 columns right of the
other rows: their names are 41 and 42 characters, and the name column
is 40 characters wide.
Each memory row now also gives the peak so far: the peak working set
(PeakWorkingSetSize, from the same GetProcessMemoryInfo call) on
Windows, and VmHWM from /proc/self/status on Linux. On macOS the rows
give no peak. A new last row gives the memory after the SVG export and
the save → open → save at the end of the run. The name columns of the
memory rows, the tracked rows and the budget table are 56, 54 and 42
characters wide. The help says on which systems the rows give the peak.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
The Color Picker gets an eyedropper button beside the New and Original
chips, and `ui.sampleScreenColor {stroke?, picker?}` shows the system's
color sampler. The command answers at once. When the person clicks a
color anywhere on the screen, the color becomes the fill or the stroke
through paint.setFill / paint.setStroke as one undo step, or with
`picker` it becomes the open Color Picker's color, which previews on the
selection as any pick does. Escape cancels the sampler. The sampled sRGB
color goes through Cms::srgb_to_rgb, so in a Display P3 working space a
color inside sRGB shows as it did on the screen. `ui.inspect` reports
`screenSampler` while the sampler is open.
- macOS uses NSColorSampler (apps/vectorcraft/src/mac_screen_color.rs).
- The web app uses the browser's EyeDropper API where the browser has
one.
- Without a sampler (Windows, Linux, other browsers) the button is gray
and the command returns an error. Keyboard Shortcuts lists the
command, so it can be given a key.

A pen reports far more often than frames come (an Apple Pencil up to 240 times
a second): the canvas now hands the tool each move of the frame with its
pressure instead of the last one only, and the web shell feeds Safari's
coalesced pen events. Mouse input is unchanged.
Read pen and finger Pointer Events in the web shell (capture phase) instead of
eframe's touch handlers, which can't tell a pen from a finger and see every
touch twice. The pen drives the pointer with its pressure and hovers; fingers
are touch contacts for pinch, two-finger pan and undo/redo taps. Once a pen
has been seen (remembered in localStorage), a finger or a resting palm never
presses a tool on the canvas, and a pen landing cancels fingers already down.
A long press drops the tool press and opens the context menu.
The page no longer scrolls, zooms or selects under touch, and the canvas
stays inside the safe areas of a full-screen app.
A shortcut set another app saved as slash-name text (a .kys file whose
text starts with a slash name and "{", such as "/Menus {") opens in
Import Shortcut Set from File › Open, from Edit › Keyboard Shortcuts ›
Import… in the desktop app, or from a drop on the window, whether or
not a document is open. The dialog proposes a target for an entry when
an earlier import kept one for that name, or else when one tool,
command or panel matches the name clearly by its id or by one of its
labels. It decodes the file's key and modifier codes from the codes
earlier imports kept, from the example in the AiCommandPalette README
(/Key 48 for the 0 key, with /Modifiers 0 taken as no modifiers), and
from VectorCraft's default shortcuts where at least two entries vote and
four votes in five agree. The user picks the remaining targets, presses
the key for each unknown key code or marks it No equivalent, and chooses
the modifiers for each unknown modifier code. Apply assigns the ready
rows with the Keyboard Shortcuts rules: a tool takes a single key,
optionally with Shift. It goes through the rows from the last one back
and leaves a row out when a later row it applies has the same shortcut
or the same tool, command or panel. Keyboard Shortcuts then shows the
result as unsaved changes until the user clicks OK. Copy Report copies
the set's name, the rows Apply leaves out and the parts of the file that
weren't read.
- shortcutSet.read is a query command: it reads a set and does not
modify the document or the preferences. It returns each entry with
its section, codes and line, and up to 1,000 skipped tokens, each cut
to 80 characters. It reads at most 4 MiB of text and 20,000 entries,
skips blocks nested more than 16 deep and cuts names at 1,024 bytes.
With a path it reads at most 4 MiB and 4 bytes of the file, and with
--automation-read-root (#832) the path must lie inside the read root.
A file whose text starts with "<", such as an XML shortcut file saved
as UTF-8, fails with "This shortcut file is in a form VectorCraft
can't read."
- importMatches.list, importMatches.set and importMatches.reset read
and change the matches kept with the preferences; resetting the
preferences keeps them. With Remember My Choices on (the default),
Apply keeps the targets and codes the user chose, and for the rows it
assigns, it also keeps the matched targets and the codes decoded by
agreement. A later import proposes them.
- The name matcher compares a name with ids by exact match and shared
words. It compares the name with labels, in English and in the
interface language, by exact match, shared words and character
pairs. It proposes a match only when one tool, command or panel
scores at least 0.6 and at least 0.1 more than the next one.
- When Import Shortcut Set is opened from Keyboard Shortcuts, Cancel,
Escape and ui.dialog.cancel close it and return to Keyboard Shortcuts
as it was (dialogs::PARENT). A document's queued Missing Fonts dialog
(#792) opens after Keyboard Shortcuts closes.
- File › Open has a "Shortcut sets" filter, and in the desktop app
Keyboard Shortcuts' Import… shows .json and .kys files.

The web app's download callback returned nothing, so a save whose Blob, URL or
anchor couldn't be made was reported as written: the document counted as
saved, its recovery copy was dropped, and Save Changes closed it. The callback
now returns the error, which fails the save, export or file command like a
refused write on the desktop. A timer that can't be set after the download
started is not a failure.
The worker answered "timeout" after 60 s and left the request on the queue, so
the app ran it whenever it next drained the queue: an edit nobody was waiting
for, and a second one if the caller had retried. A request now leaves the
queue once: taken by the app, or given up by its caller, whichever comes
first. The timeout reply says which ("will not run" / "still running").
The preferences file was written only when the app quit normally, so settings
confirmed with OK were lost when the session ended any other way (the system
shutting down, the process being ended, a crash). OK now asks the host to
write the file at once.
The Format menu added to the save sheet after rfd began it (#866) made recent
macOS versions (26.6.2 and 27.0.1 reported) dismiss the sheet at once: Save As,
Save a Copy and Save of an untitled document flashed and answered as cancelled,
while panels without it (Open, Export As) worked. The accessory is withdrawn
until it can be set before the sheet is presented; the format still follows
the extension typed in the name field, as before #866.
Fix#1726 with idle, absolute line and reply-write deadlines and connection-slot guards. Add real-loopback regressions and document reconnect behavior.
Validated with cargo xtask ci: all seven gates passed; 6156 tests passed, zero failed, seven existing ignored.
winit 0.30 gives an undecorated window WS_CAPTION | WS_BORDER; on some Windows
systems the compositor still reserves that frame, so the content is drawn
offset while the pointer isn't, and the cursor no longer points at what is under
its tip. Strip the two styles once and again each frame (winit restores them on
maximize/restore), as PhotoCraft does (storytold/photocraft#2401).
The control server wrote each reply with writeln!(out, "{r}") on the
bare TcpStream. serde_json formats a Value one piece at a time, and
each piece (a brace, a quotation mark, a key, a colon, a number) was
sent as a write of its own: the 17 MB document.inspect reply of a
document with 50,000 objects on one layer was sent in 7,857,200 writes.
On Windows 11, sending that reply to a client over loopback took 34 s,
and sending the 28 MB document.json reply took 57 s.
vectorcraft-cli mcp reads every reply from a running app over this
connection.
write_line now writes each reply, each refusal and the "too many
control connections" line through a 64 KiB BufWriter, then flushes
it. The 17 MB reply takes 262 writes. Sending it now takes 0.09 s,
and sending the 28 MB reply takes 0.2 s. The bytes are the same.
