Effect › Distort › Glass… offered only its four built-in textures. The
reference app's Texture menu also has Load Texture, which takes an
image file as the glass surface.
The Glass dialog now has a Load Texture… button. It reads a PNG, JPEG,
GIF, WebP, TIFF, BMP, PSD or PSB file within the pixel allowance the
renderer draws images in, and the Texture menu gains Loaded Texture.
The effect stores the image's gray levels in `textureImage` as a
grayscale PNG in base64, so the document saves the texture with the
effect, and copies of the effect carry it. effect.apply and
effect.setParams take `textureImage` as {path}, {name, dataBase64} or
the stored string; any other value is an error.
The texture lies one image pixel per point at Scaling 100%, centered on
the object and repeated. Each pixel's luma is the surface's height,
from 0 for black to 1 pt for white, and a transparent pixel counts as
middle gray. A Glass without `textureImage` draws and saves as before.

Unit fields and length strings read a percentage operand as a share of
a value. After * or /, the percentage scales the term before it:
3cm*50% is 1.5 cm and 3cm/50% is 6 cm. After + or -, it adds or takes
away that share of everything before it: 50pt+25% is 62.5 pt and
100pt+20pt-50% is 60 pt. Before this change these expressions read as
nothing, and the field kept its old value.
The parser now splits a sum at its last + or -, so a percentage applies
to the whole sum before it. Text without % gives the same values as
before, apart from float rounding. A percentage on its own (50%) still
reads as nothing, and percent and degree fields still read % as their
suffix.
Command length strings use the same parser: file.new's width and
height, the distance params and the length preferences.

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.

Adds a Finnish (Suomi, `fi`) catalog with 4,770 entries, written in
sentence case from the English labels with ordinary Finnish
vector-illustration vocabulary. It covers menus, `tl!` literals and the
668 `@msg` status and error messages: `fi` is in KEEPS_MENU_NAMES and
COMPLETE_MESSAGES. Like the other complete catalogs, it leaves the
product, workspace and perspective preset names in English.
Plurals are one/other with the partitive singular after any number but
1 (1 taso, 2 tasoa). Any fi-* locale selects Finnish; sv-FI does not.
Tests: `cargo test -p vectorcraft-ui-egui --lib i18n` passes (47),
including the new finnish_reads_as_finnish and the bundled-font glyph
check.
Clean-room, AI-assisted (Claude Code) translation; a native speaker
checked it in the running app, but it has not been proofread line by
line.

Make and Edit choose the Intertwine tool: hovering highlights the overlap
area under the pointer, a click swaps which object is on top there, and a
path drawn around overlaps (Shift: a rectangle) arranges every overlap
inside it; Esc or Enter goes back to the tool chosen before. The overlap
faces move to vectorcraft-tools, shared by the tool and the command.
Clicks inside a raised area pick the member drawn on top there, the
Object menu gets the Intertwine submenu, and the new labels and the
predicate message are translated in the complete catalogs. docs/gaps.md
records what landed under G13.
When entering text edit mode via double-click from a selection tool
(Selection or Direct Selection), pressing Escape now returns to the specific
tool used before double-clicking (rather than always falling back to
Selection).
Additionally, when editing text while in isolation mode (such as when drilling
into nested groups with the Selection tool), pressing Escape exits text editing
while keeping isolation mode active; a second Escape press is required to exit
isolation mode.
- Record the previous tool in TypeTool on double-click from canvas.
- Return to prev_tool on ToolKey::Escape, consuming the key in shortcuts when claimed.
- Add unit test in vectorcraft-tools verifying Escape returns to prev_tool.
- Add integration tests in vectorcraft-ui-egui verifying Escape returns to Direct
Selection and that isolation mode persists until a second Escape.
- Update docs/target-app-parity.md and ROADMAP.md.
With the Direct Selection tool ("white arrow", shortcut 'a'), double-clicking
a text element (either standalone or nested inside a group) now switches to
the Type tool and immediately positions the caret at the clicked character,
matching the behavior previously introduced for the Selection tool in #284.
- In DirectSelectionTool::pointer, detect double-click hits on NodeKind::Text
when !self.group and emit Action::SwitchTool("type").
- Group Selection (group: true) retains its existing group cycling behavior.
- Add unit test in vectorcraft-tools verifying tool switch on both standalone
and grouped text.
- Add headless egui integration test in vectorcraft-ui-egui verifying tool switch,
caret positioning, and inline editing without triggering shortcuts.
- Update docs/target-app-parity.md and ROADMAP.md.
Illustrator's View menu has Hide/Show Template (Shift+Ctrl+W) to leave
template layers off the screen while tracing. VectorCraft drew them (dimmed)
whatever the view, with no way to hide them short of disabling the template
option on each layer and losing the dimming.
- `view.template` toggles `ViewFlags::templates` (default on, kept across
settings files); the View menu lists Hide Template after Lock Slices, and
the label flips to Show Template.
- The canvas renders with the new `RenderOptions::hide_templates`, which
leaves template layers out and nothing else; `skip_templates` (exports and
thumbnails) also drops guide paths, so it is not reused.
- The fifteen menu catalogs translate both labels; `DYNAMIC_LABELS` lists them.
Tests: render `hide_template_leaves_only_the_template_layers_out` (the
template layer's square and image go, a guide path on another layer stays);
canvas `hide_template_leaves_template_layers_off_the_canvas` (real egui
frames: painted pixels, none after Hide Template, the same after Show
Template, each re-rendering once); the dynamic-label and catalog tests cover
the new pair.

Document Info › Objects counts the paths but didn't say how long they are,
which sign and print work reads there (an LED strip along the letters, a
cut line). `document.info` now adds up the length of every path it counts,
the pieces of compound paths included and guides left out, and returns it
as `pathLength` (pt); the Objects section shows it as Path Length in the
document's units, right after the Paths count, so Selection Only gives the
selected paths' length. The label is translated in the catalogs that
cover the menus; pt-br only takes strings the UI itself shows.
Panel (≡) menu rows, and the Control bar's image menu, had no frame at all,
so nothing showed which row the pointer was on. They now draw the hover
frame the menu bar's items draw.

Selecting art scrolls the tiles to its swatch once (centred) and clears the
panel's own selection, so the art's swatch is the one highlighted; so does a
change of the selection's paint (after Recolor Artwork). An unlinked process
colour highlights the swatch of that very colour. A selected image, or text
in a colour no swatch has, highlights nothing (not None).

The Control bar's file name is a menu: Replace…, Go To Link, Edit Original,
Update Link and Placement Options…. Replace… (also in the Properties panel,
in place of Relink…) puts the picked file in the image's place fitted inside
the old bounds and centred, keeping the new file's aspect ratio instead of
stretching it into the old one. links.relink takes `preserve` (transforms,
bounds, fileDimensions, fit or fill) to override the Placement Options for
that read.

With Limit to Library, a row's new colour is the library swatch itself: art
links to a global or spot colour (a Pantone-style spot colour stays a spot
colour in its own model, tints keep their tint) and a process swatch gives
its colour in its own model, instead of being converted to the model of the
colour it replaces. The swatches used join the document's swatches (one the
document already has, same name and colour, is reused); recolor.apply
reports them as `swatches`. A folder button next to Limit to Library loads a
library file (.ase, .acb, .gpl, .vcswatches or a document's swatches) and
limits to it.

A palette button opens Recolor Artwork when the selection has colours to

Zoom Out and Zoom In sit to the right of the font family and style menus. They step the preview cells through 16, 22, 30, 42, 56, 72 and 96 pt; the grid still opens at 30 pt, and the buttons stop at the ends. The step is stored on the UI state and written with the other panel choices in ui.json when the app quits. Zero is the default and is left out of the file, so older preferences stay as they are.
The reference app's Scribble Options have a Variation for each of Path
Overlap, Curviness and Spacing. Scribble had one `variation`, which
moved each line's ends both along the line and across it, and every
turn of a scribble took the same curviness. An angle such as 270 was
stored as given.
Scribble now takes `overlapVariation` (pt, default 0.5), which moves
the ends along the line, `spacingVariation` (pt, 0.5), which moves
them across it, and `curvinessVariation` (%, 0), which varies the
curviness from one turn to the next. The dialog shows each Variation
after the option it varies, and the Appearance panel lists all three.
A Scribble saved or scripted with the earlier `variation` reads it as
the Path Overlap and Spacing variations. With the defaults, and with
the earlier `variation`, Scribble draws the same outline as before.
`effect.apply` and `effect.setParams` store an angle above -180 and up
to 180, so 270 is stored as -90, and the dialog shows the stored value.
The Appearance panel's inline editor lists an effect's values in
their current form, as the dialog does. It listed an earlier key next
to the defaults of the keys that replace it.
Docs: docs/effects-parity.md (Stylize row), docs/target-app-parity.md.
Effect › Blur › Smart Blur had only its Normal mode: the dialog and
blur.smart took Radius, Threshold and Quality and drew the blur.
Smart Blur now takes a `blurMode` param ("normal", "edgeOnly" or
"overlayEdge"; "normal" by default), which its dialog shows as a Mode
menu. Edge Only draws the edges in white on black, and Overlay Edge
draws them in white over the Normal blur. A pixel is on an edge when
one of its four nearest pixels differs from it by more than the
threshold in a channel and its channels, alpha included, add up to at
least that pixel's. The white and the black keep each pixel's
coverage. Normal draws the same pixels as before, and an effect saved
without `blurMode` draws as Normal.

Copy and Cut made the system clipboard's formats in the frame that ran
them. The formats include the SVG markup and a PNG of the selection at
1 px per pt, up to 4,096 px a side. In a release build on Windows, Copy
of 50,002 rectangles on a 1600 x 1200 pt page took 1.00 s in its frame.
The thread that writes background saves and exports now makes the
formats from a copy of the clipboard, and the app writes them in a
later frame. The same Copy takes 0.18 s in its frame, and the SVG and
PNG are the same bytes. While that thread has a save, an export, a print or
a recovery copy to finish, Copy and Cut make and write the formats at
once. A later Copy or Cut, or text copied in a field or with the Type
tool, drops formats that are not written yet. Until they are written,
Paste on the canvas takes the internal clipboard, and while a text
field or the Type tool has the keyboard the app waits for them.
