dotCooCoo aa9cf83fd2 PDF export: PDF and .ai files keep the document's creation date
The engine built the PDF options without a creation date, so the
writer dated every PDF and PDF-compatible .ai file with the time it
was written. A document created on 2020-01-01 (File › File Info
shows the date) exported as a PDF with today's date in /CreationDate
and xmp:CreateDate. SVG export with the metadata option already
writes the document's own date.

The options now carry the document's File Info created date and the
time of writing as the modification date. A document without a
creation date is dated with the time of writing, as before, so PDF/X
files still get their required date. The PDF writer writes one date
for both, so the export then sets /ModDate, xmp:ModifyDate and the
PDF/A history dates to the time of writing; /CreationDate and
xmp:CreateDate keep the document's date. The page information mark
and the embedded editing data's modification date keep the time of
writing.

dotCooCoo 24d4777d1a Color: freeform gradients keep CMYK inks when expanded, meshed or edited
Object > Expand and Object > Create Gradient Mesh mixed a freeform
gradient's points in display RGB and turned the result back into the
points' model with the profile-free formula. CMYK inks changed: points
of C50 M20 Y0 K10 gave mesh points of C45 M24 Y0 K22. RGB points were
stored as display sRGB, so with a working RGB space other than sRGB
the mesh showed other colors. Points colored along CMYK stops, a point
paint.freeform.splitLine added between CMYK points and a point
paint.freeform.addPoint added without a color came out as RGB.

Points that share a color model now mix in it: the C, M, Y and K
values mix as inks, and Gray, RGB and Lab components mix as they are.
Points in different models still mix in display RGB. Object > Expand
and Object > Create Gradient Mesh store the result in the working RGB
space, and in a CMYK document they store it as CMYK through the color
settings, as paint.setFill stores an RGB color. Freeform::recolor and
split_line mix with the new Color::lerp_keep_model, which
vectorcraft_doc::blend::lerp_color now calls.

dotCooCoo db3092ae2e Patterns: Pattern Options refuses a name another swatch has
pattern.options refused a new name that another pattern had, but not
one that a color swatch, a gradient swatch, a second swatch of the
pattern or a color group had. The rename then gave the pattern's swatch
that name, so two swatches, or a swatch and a color group, had one
name. The rename also gave the new name to every swatch that had the
old one, a color swatch included, and art linked to that color swatch
kept a link to a name no swatch had. Make and Save a Copy numbered a
pattern's or a swatch's name, but not a color group's.

pattern.options now refuses a name that a swatch or a color group has,
with "a swatch or color group named `<name>` exists". It takes a name
that only the pattern's own swatches have, such as a name Swatch
Options gave the pattern's swatch, when none of them still has the old
name. A rename gives the new name only to the pattern's swatches that
had the old one. Make and Save a Copy number a color group's name as
they number a swatch's. The new message has a row in the 17 catalogs
that translate every message (COMPLETE_MESSAGES) and in bg, da, id and
nl.

dotCooCoo 0cf12a1611 Save as Template: aiVersion 7 is an error for a .ait, and the dialog shows no Version
file.saveAsTemplate with format ait and aiVersion: "7" wrote the
legacy PostScript .ai of version 7 under the .ait name: for a
one-artboard test document, a 7,556-byte file starting %!PS-Adobe-3.0.
The web's Save as Template dialog showed the .ai Version menu for
.ait, whose Legacy (version 7) choice set aiVersion 7.

aiVersion 7 for a .ait is now an error, "aiVersion 7 writes legacy .ai
files; a .ait template is always PDF-compatible", and nothing is
written. The 17 catalogs that translate every message have a row for
it. The dialog shows no Version row for .ait, and aiVersion "pdf"
still writes the PDF-compatible template.

dotCooCoo 2643f57b1f Color: type, gradient, mesh and swatch commands store RGB input as color-managed CMYK in a CMYK document
In a CMYK document, paint.setFill stores an RGB color as CMYK through
the color settings, but the other commands that take a color stored it
as RGB: text.create, text.createInPath, text.setStyle and
text.setRangeStyle colors, a shapeBuilder.merge hex fill,
paint.editGradient stops, freeform gradient points, gradient mesh
points, the Symbol Stainer's color, and swatch.new {colors},
swatch.newGroup, swatch.editGroup and swatch.edit. The Mesh tool sent
the fill as a hex value, so a CMYK fill came in as RGB.

These commands now store such a color through paint::new_color, as
paint.setFill does, and take keepModel to keep RGB (shapeBuilder.merge
inside its fill object). A color the swatch
or gradient already has keeps its model, so stops sent back with a
moved offset keep their colors (the Gradient panel's ramp and the
Gradient tool send keepModel), and a stop that names a process
swatch takes the swatch's color as it is, in paint.setFill gradients
too. Where the app copies an existing color, it keeps the color's
model: the Color panel's sliders for gradient stops and freeform
points, a swatch put on a stop or a point (the stop popover, Alt-click
in the Swatches panel, a drop on the Gradient panel's ramp), the fill
the Mesh tool gives a new point or the Symbol Stainer applies, and the
colors the Color Guide, Color Themes and Recolor Artwork save as
swatches.

swatch.new {color, mode} converted RGB into CMYK before converting it
into mode, so the New Swatch dialog in RGB mode stored #00ff00 as
R101 G176 B62 in a CMYK document. With mode, the color is now
converted once.

dotCooCoo ef9e554dd2 i18n: the History panel translates the step names that contain a style's name
The History panel and Edit › Undo and Redo did not translate the steps
that apply or redefine a character or paragraph style, or redefine a
graphic style. The engine built their names with format! ("Apply Body",
"Redefine Body", "Redefine Graphic Style “S”"), and the panel looks a
name up as a whole, so no catalog row matched a name with a style's
name in it. A name cannot be matched against template rows instead: a
character style named Brush gives "Apply Brush", which is also the name
of the brush step.

The engine now names these steps with Session::edit_named, and each
such step keeps its template and the style's name
(HistoryEntry::named) through undo and redo. The History panel and
Edit › Undo and Redo show the template's row with the name in it
(panels::history::entry_name). The name stays as the document holds
it, and the Normal styles' names are shown in the interface language.
Every complete catalog has rows for Apply {name} and Redefine {name},
and Redefine Graphic Style “{name}” had one.
every_undo_label_is_translated also requires a row for each template,
and the only step name it allows to be built with format! is the
Liquify tools' "{} Tool".

dotCooCoo 22ce516e2d Appearance: the inline effect editor shows 3D, Warp, Rasterize and channel choices as dropdowns
The Appearance panel's inline effect editor still showed eight choice
parameters as text fields holding the stored value: Revolve's edge,
Extrude & Bevel's bevel, every Warp style's orientation, Rasterize's
Color Model, Background and Anti-aliasing, and the channel of Levels
and Curves. Their dialogs built these lists in their own bodies, so
effect::choices did not hold them. Nothing checked a channel's value:
a typo was stored, and Levels or Curves drew it as RGB.

effect::own_choices now holds these lists, each label as its dialog
passes it to its dropdown or radio buttons. The dialogs read the lists
from it (Rasterize's Anti-aliasing from the AntiAlias list it is built
from), and the inline editor shows each one as a dropdown with the
dialog's translated labels; Rasterize's Color Model reads CMYK or RGB
by the document's mode. effect.apply and effect.setParams refuse a
Levels or Curves channel other than rgb, red, green or blue (r, g, b
and any letter case are read too) with "`channel` must be one of rgb,
red, green, blue", and the document and its undo history stay as they
were.

File › Place set every justified paragraph (`\qj`) of an RTF file as
Justify with last line aligned left, so a right-to-left paragraph
(`\rtlpar`) ended its last line on the left. Such a paragraph now
places as Justify with last line aligned right, in either order of the
two control words. `\qj` in a left-to-right paragraph still places as
Justify with last line aligned left, and `\ql`, `\qr`, `\qc` and `\qd`
keep their alignments in both directions.

dotCooCoo b27b5b80ea Place: Bounding Box measures only the art that shows
With crop "bounding", file.place measured the placed art by each
object's visual bounds, which include the hidden members of a group.
A group holding a 40 pt square and a hidden 170 x 42 pt rectangle was
measured as 251 x 123 pt: at, rect, the place cursor and
file.place.info all used that box. A group whose only part on the page
or artboard was a hidden member was also placed, and symbol instances
were measured as a 20 pt square.

The art's box now follows the rule exports use
(vectorcraft_render::encode::drawn_bounds, made public): hidden
objects, guides and template layers do not count; the reach of effects
such as a drop shadow now counts; symbol instances are measured by
their art. The same rule picks the objects on the page or artboard.
Hidden objects on the page or artboard are still placed, and stay
hidden. Replace and the width and height that file.place answers also
measure symbol instances by their art.

dotCooCoo 2fc47948d5 Render: raster exports warn about an undecodable image drawn from a kept Rasterize image
When a drop shadow or an outer glow follows Effect › Rasterize, the
renderer makes the Rasterize image on the first draw and keeps it for
the shadow and the content, which draw it again. The kept image held no
count of the images that failed to decode while it was made. With a
blur or a filter after the shadow, the content's raster was made from
the kept image and recorded no failure, so a renderer that drew the
object again took the shadow and the content from its caches and
counted nothing. Pattern tiles are drawn by a renderer that keeps these
rasters across exports: a tile drawn again with the same art, for
example after Pattern Options changes the overlap, gave an export
without the "couldn't be decoded" warning although the picture lacked
the image.

The kept Rasterize image now stores how many decodes failed while it
was made, and each draw from it adds that number to the count again, as
kept effect rasters and pattern tiles do.

dotCooCoo df7daff3e4 PDF export: an image that can't be decoded is left out with a note instead of failing the export
When the PDF writer keeps a PNG, GIF or WebP image as it is, it accepts
the image once its header reads, and it reports pixel data that it
can't decode only when it finishes the file. An image whose pixel data
was cut short or damaged therefore failed the whole export with "PDF
writer error: Image(...)", and nothing was written. This happened in
Save as PDF, .ai saves, Save a Copy, Print, Export for Screens and
native files with PDF compatibility, and with On Copy: PDF turned on,
Copy left the PDF off the clipboard.

When the writer fails on an image's pixel data, the export now runs
again with that image left out. Its warnings hold the note that raster
exports give, once: "an image couldn't be decoded and is missing from
the picture". This note replaces the writer's "image '<key>' could not
be decoded and was skipped", which named the image by an internal key.
An export without such an image runs once, as before. A .ai file keeps
the image in its editing data and reopens with it.

dotCooCoo 030729d6f3 Legacy .ai export: images are written in the form the version 7 specification shows
A version 7 .ai wrote each image's matrix as [a b c d tx ty] and its
samples on comment lines of 64 hex digits. The Adobe Illustrator File
Format Specification version 7.0, which the writer follows, writes the
matrix with a space inside each bracket in the XI syntax (section 8.1)
and in all five examples (section 8.4), and every example data line
holds 60 hex digits. #2692 reports that the reference app leaves out an
image inside a clipping group, and all the art after it, in the files
written from the reporter's two SVGs.

The writer now writes [ a b c d tx ty ] and data lines of 60 hex digits
(the last holds the rest), for every image it writes. VectorCraft's
reader and the file's PostScript prolog read both forms. The result was
not checked in the reference app.

dotCooCoo c0e6d8eb02 Legacy .ai export: radial gradients are written with their highlight (Bh)
The version 7 .ai writer wrote a radial gradient's highlight (Bh) only
when the gradient had a focal point off its center. A centered radial
gradient, such as an SVG radialGradient without fx and fy, was written
Bb, Bg, f, BB with no Bh. Every radial instance in the Adobe Illustrator File
Format Specification version 7.0, which the writer follows, has one,
0 0 0 0 Bh for a centered highlight (sections 3.5.5, 3.5.6 and 9.3).
#2687 reports that the reference app draws such a circle in its outer
color.

The writer now writes Bh in every radial instance, 0 0 0 0 Bh at the
center. A focal point past the radius, which an elliptical gradient
written circular can have, is written on the circle, so its x and y
offsets agree with the fraction 1 written after them (section 3.5.5).
Linear instances are unchanged. The result was not checked in the
reference app.

dotCooCoo d7e79448d7 Legacy .ai export: warns when an image in art it flattens or expands can't be decoded
Saving a version 7 .ai expands raster effects into images and flattens
images with see-through pixels, opacity or a blending mode, and both
draw the art with the renderer. An image the renderer couldn't decode
drew nothing, so it was missing from the result, and the reply carried
no note. A semi-transparent image cut short was removed without one.

The save now compares decode_failures() before and after it writes the
artboards, as Expand Appearance and the raster exports do, and adds
"an image couldn't be decoded and is missing from the picture" to its
warnings once.

dotCooCoo aafe102649 .ai import: a file whose editing data can't be decompressed says why its layers weren't read
A PDF-compatible .ai, or a PDF saved with the editing data, whose
editing data can't be decompressed (damaged zlib or Zstandard data, or
data that decompresses to more than 256 MB) opened from its PDF part
with no note about its layers. layered_ai returned on the
decompression error without a note. Data that decompresses to layers
that can't be read gets one, and so does an EPS.

layered_ai now gives the same note with the decompression error as
its reason: "the file's layers weren't read from its editing data (its
zlib compression is damaged): they come from its PDF part". The note
counts as a loss, so document.export or Save As over a PDF saved with
the editing data asks first (acknowledgeLoss), as it already did for
a .ai. The three reasons have rows in the 17 catalogs that translate
every message.

dotCooCoo ffc12babf2 PDF import: PDF and .ai layer names without a byte order mark are read as PDFDocEncoding
The layers of PDF and PDF-compatible .ai files come from their
optional content groups, whose /Name is a PDF text string. The import
read a name without a byte order mark as Latin-1. Such a string is
PDFDocEncoding (ISO 32000-1 Annex D, Table D.2), which differs from
Latin-1 at 0x18 to 0x1F and 0x80 to 0xA0. A group named
(Art\205final) opened as a layer named "Art", U+0085, "final" instead
of "Art–final", and curly double quotes (0x8D, 0x8E) and the euro sign
(0xA0) became control characters and a no-break space.

text_string now reads such a string with the PDFDocEncoding table that
File Info already used for the document information dictionary. The
table moves from file_info.rs to import_scan.rs, and File Info reads
the information dictionary's strings with text_string.

dotCooCoo 830cefcaf6 PDF import: an XMP packet nested more than 256 deep is skipped instead of overflowing the stack
When a PDF, PDF-compatible .ai or .ait opens, crates/pdf/src/file_info.rs
reads its File Info from the XMP packet with roxmltree, which parses
nested elements recursively and has no limit on their depth. A packet
with elements nested 10,000 deep (70 KB) overflowed a 1 MB stack, and
one nested 100,000 deep (700 KB) overflowed an 8 MB stack. A stack
overflow aborts the app.

File Info now counts how deep the packet's elements nest before roxmltree
parses it, and leaves out a packet nested more than 256 deep, as it
leaves out a packet that is not XML. The document information
dictionary then gives the File Info.

charStyle.new and paraStyle.new kept the name they were given as it

"Body", and a blank name was refused with the message for a name that
is taken.

does, compare the trimmed name with the styles there are, and refuse a
name that is then empty with rename's message. Duplicate names the copy
from the trimmed name. symbol.new and symbol.duplicate trim the name as
symbol.options trims newName, and a blank newName gives "<name> copy"
instead of a symbol named with the blank. library.use adds a library's
text style under its trimmed name, so a library file whose style is

brush.new, brush.duplicate, object.pattern.make,
object.pattern.saveCopy, artboard.new and artboard.setProps kept the
name they were given as it was, and brush.options and pattern.options
kept the white space around a new name. So a script could make a brush
" Nib" beside "Nib", and a blank name made a brush, a pattern or an
artboard named with the blank. Artboard Options sends its Name field
as typed, so clearing it named the artboard "". The Brush Options
dialog, the Pattern Options panel and the Artboards panel trim the
names they send.

The eight commands now trim the name, and the brush and pattern
commands compare the trimmed name with the names there are. In
brush.new, brush.duplicate, object.pattern.make,
object.pattern.saveCopy and artboard.new, a blank name gives the name
the command gives when there is none: "New Calligraphic Brush" and the
other default brush names, "<name> copy", "New Pattern N",
"<pattern> copy" and "Artboard N". brush.options and pattern.options
keep the name when the new one is blank, and artboard.setProps gives a
blank one the artboard's default name, Artboard N for the Nth
artboard. Duplicate Brush and Save a Copy name the copy of a brush or
pattern whose saved name has white space around it from the trimmed
name (" Old " gives "Old copy").

With Snap to Grid on it lines up with the nearest gridline, and with
Snap to Pixel on it lines up with whole pixels. With Smart Guides off,
Snap to Point lands it on the other objects' anchors and on ruler
guides within its distance. With Smart Guides and Snap to Point both
on, it lines up with the ruler guides as well as with the other
objects. Shift still keeps the proportions. Without Alt the opposite

dotCooCoo 20590e778c Linux Display Server: XWayland when a pen is attached, where a drawing tablet's pen draws
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.

dataset.import refused every header cell that wasn't the name of a
variable the document defines. A data source file could only fill
variables made beforehand, and `#` and `@` in a header were read as part
of a variable's name.

A header cell that names no variable now defines a new, unbound
variable in the import's undo step. `#Shown` defines a visibility
variable `Shown`, `@Photo` defines an image variable `Photo`, and a
cell without a prefix defines a text variable. A prefixed cell whose
name is already a variable of the prefix's kind names it. A cell that
is a variable's exact name keeps naming it, even when the name starts
with `#`, `@` or `%`, so files that dataset.export writes import back
as before. The import fails, naming the column, on a prefixed cell
whose name is a variable of another kind and on a `%` cell that names
no variable (graph data files). While the variables are locked, a
header that would define a variable fails the import with "variables
are locked", as New Variable does. The reply's `defined` lists the new
variables.

bflatastic efb49169a3 Export for Screens: rustfmt the import list (#2737) 2026-10-18 01:27:13 +07:00
dotCooCoo 919970a467 Export for Screens: exports warn when an image couldn't be decoded or a font is missing
Export for Screens wrote each file with fileio::encode, which drops the
encoder's warnings, and its replies had no `warnings` key. When the art
held an image that the renderer could not decode, or type in a font
that is not installed, the files lacked the image or used the fallback
font, and neither the reply nor the status bar said so. document.export
returns the same notes in `warnings`, and Export As shows the first in
the status bar.

document.exportForScreens and assets.export now collect the warnings of
every file they export, each once, and every reply carries them in
`warnings`. The export still writes or returns every file. When there
are warnings, the Export for Screens dialog and the Asset Export panel
show the first in the status bar as Save As shows a save's notes.

dotCooCoo 6b13dd776b Export: names typed into file names follow Windows' naming rules
Export for Screens, Batch over data sets, Save for Web and the
Libraries panel name files after text the person typed: a prefix, a
suffix, a name pattern, the name of an artboard, asset, layer, slice,
data set or library, or the document's title. The prefix, the suffix,
name patterns and Batch's data set names had only /, \ and : replaced,
so on Windows a name holding <, >, ", |, ?, * or a control character
failed to save, and Save for Web without a path named its files after
the document's title as it was. A row folder name could end in a
period, which Windows does not allow, and names such as CON, NUL, COM1
or LPT1, which Windows reserves for devices, were written as they
were.

file_part, which Export for Screens' prefix and suffix and Batch's
data set names use, now writes all of those characters as -, and name
patterns use it in place of their own copy. A new safe_file_name runs
a whole file or folder name through file_part, removes trailing
periods and spaces, and adds - after a device name that is the whole
name or comes before its first period (CON.png becomes CON-.png).
Export for Screens uses it for each file, folder and zip it names, and
keeps item names distinct after it. Save for Web uses it for slice
images and, without a path, for files named after the title. Library
files use it too. This happens on every platform. Other names are
written as before, except where a changed name now equals another
item's name, which then gets a number added.

dotCooCoo 7f858a7e59 Actions: Batch's Override Save and Export name files with the format's extension
With Override Save or Override Export on, action.batch named each
step's file in the destination folder with the step's format exactly as
written. The save and export commands read the format in any case and
with a leading dot, so a step with "format": ".svg" wrote
"Untitled_a..svg", "SVG" wrote ".SVG", "png8" wrote ".png8" and
"template" wrote ".template".

The file now ends in the format's extension: the extension as written,
in lower case and without the dot, when it is one of the format's
(".JPEG" gives ".jpeg"), and otherwise the format's first extension, the
one Export and Save use for a file name ("png8" gives ".png", "template"
gives ".vctemplate"). An unknown format ("xyz") keeps its spelling, and
the step fails with the command's error as before.

dotCooCoo 6a2bb03ebf PDF presets: a rename that can't be written keeps the preset under its old name
Renaming a saved PDF preset (pdf.preset.save with newName) removed
the old file from the PDF Presets folder before it wrote the new one.
When that write failed, for example on a full disk, the folder held no
file for the preset, and the preset was gone at the next start.

The store now writes the new file first and removes the old one only
when that write succeeded. A failed write leaves the preset in the
folder under its old name. A rename that changes only the case of the
name writes the old file and then renames it, and the old file gets
its content back when the rename fails. The command still succeeds
when the folder can't be written, and the failure is logged, as
before.

dotCooCoo 1c4ead3703 Place: Word .docx files place as area type with their formatting
File > Place could not place a Word document: a .docx file was "not a
format VectorCraft reads". The reference app's File > Place reads
Microsoft Word files as text.

File > Place now reads .docx files, written from ECMA-376 Part 1
(WordprocessingML, Transitional and Strict), and sets their text as
area type the way a text or RTF file is placed. The package is read
through its relationships. The formatting comes from the document
defaults, the paragraph style (else the default paragraph style), the
character style (else the default character style), the styles each
is based on, and direct formatting. Bold, italic, caps, small caps,
strikethrough and hidden text are toggle properties: a style that
turns one on reverses the state the styles before it give.

Each run keeps its font (theme fonts from the theme part), size, bold
and italic, underline, strikethrough, all caps, small caps,
superscript or subscript (in Document Setup's proportions), raised or
lowered text and color. Each paragraph keeps its alignment, start,
end, first-line and hanging indents, space before and after, and
direction; the start indent of a right-to-left paragraph is its right
indent. Table cells are separated by tabs and each table row is a
paragraph. Text in insertions, hyperlinks, content controls and
fields' results is read. Hidden and deleted text, field instructions,
pictures, text boxes, headers, footers, notes and list numbers are
left out.

A ZIP archive named .docx, or one that holds word/document.xml, is
read as a Word document. fileio/zip.rs gains a reader for stored and
deflated files that checks each file's CRC. A package with more than
10,000 files, a part that unpacks to more than 16 MiB or nests
elements more than 256 deep, and a document with more than 4 MiB of
text or 100,000 paragraphs or runs are refused with an error. The
Place dialog lists Word files, and file.place, file.place.info and
file.place.queue report the format `docx`. .doc files are still not
read.

The Word document tests in tests_textimport.rs fail without the
change, and text_import_fuzz.rs places random and damaged packages.

dotCooCoo dd466d79e4 TIFF: CCITT Group 3 compressed files open and place
1-bit TIFFs compressed with CCITT Group 3 did not open, place or
relink: the image decoder reads Group 4 only and refuses Compression 2
(modified Huffman) and Compression 3 (ITU-T T.4).

They are now decoded with hayro-ccitt, the CCITT decoder that EPS
import uses. Compression 2 rows start at a byte and have no EOL codes.
Compression 3 rows follow an EOL code and are one-dimensional, or, with
T4Options bit 0, one- or two-dimensional as each row's tag bit says.
Fill bits, FillOrder 2, either PhotometricInterpretation, strips and
tiles are read.

A file whose pixels would take more than the decoding allowance as
RGBA is refused as too large to draw. A strip or tile whose data ends
before its last row is refused as damaged, and so is a tile larger
than the allowance. The strips and tiles together are read from at
most as many bytes as the file holds.

dotCooCoo 8fbd515d6c Shaper: a marquee does not select a Shaper Group by the original shape of an erased face
A Shaper Group keeps its original shapes as a transparent first child.
Clicks skip them outside Construction mode, but a marquee did not: one
drawn over the outline of an original shape whose face the group had
erased selected the group, where nothing is shown. Group Selection's E
marquee selected an original shape that lay inside it, and Direct
Selection's marquee and clicks selected the anchor points of the
original shapes.

The marquee now skips a Shaper Group's original shapes with the same
check clicks use, which moves into shaper_hides, and Direct Selection's
walk over the art it can pick skips them too. In Construction mode, with
the original shapes isolated, the marquee still selects them and Direct
Selection still selects their anchor points.

dotCooCoo c44fb242aa Type: Optical Margin Alignment is a setting of the whole thread
Optical Margin Alignment was stored and set per text object, so the
frames of one thread could differ. Turning it on in the first frame of
a thread left the lines in the other frames flush with their margins.

Type › Optical Margin Alignment and type.opticalMarginAlignment now set
every frame of a selected frame's thread, in one undo step, and the
reply's ids list them all. After any edit to a thread, its frames take
the setting of the frame that the edit turned on or off, else the
first frame's. Threading frames gives the thread its first frame's
setting, and frames taken out of a thread keep it. A file whose frames
of one thread differ opens with the first frame's setting in all of
them. This holds for native files and for documents restored from the
editing copy that an EPS, SVG, PDF or .ai file carries.

Threading text from an out port into existing area type
(text.thread.add with to) now flows the story into that frame at once.
Before, the story reached it only at the next edit of one of the
thread's frames.

dotCooCoo e5945c6795 Type: sizes, scales, leading, indents and spacing out of range in a file are read in range
A .vectorcraft file's type opened with the character and paragraph
values it held. With a size of 0, the characters were not drawn. With
a size, leading, horizontal scale, left indent or space before of
1.797e308, point type's bounds were infinite or over 1e308 wide or
high, and moving or scaling it failed with "result would exceed the
canvas".

These values are now read into range when a file opens, in the type of
the layers, symbols, graph designs, patterns and the pattern definition
that Cancel puts back in pattern editing mode, and in character and
paragraph styles. A size, horizontal scale or vertical scale of 0 or
less becomes 12 pt or 100%, and a negative leading becomes Auto. A
size, leading or scale past 4,000,000 (MAX_COORD) becomes 4,000,000,
and a baseline shift, indent or space before or after past 4,000,000
either way becomes 4,000,000 or -4,000,000. A tab stop is kept to the
0 to 100,000 pt that text.tabs.set takes. A leading of 0, which legacy
.ai import stores, and the sizes, scales and indents within these
limits that SVG, PDF and .ai import keep outside the panels' ranges
open as saved.

dotCooCoo 81574b1648 Type: superscript, subscript and small caps proportions out of range in a file are read in range
document.setup accepts a superscript and subscript size of 1 to 500%
and a position of -500 to 500%, and a small caps size of 1 to 200%.
text.setFormat copies these proportions into the characters it
formats. A .vectorcraft file's characters, character styles and graph
label styles opened with the proportions they held. With a superscript
size of 0, the superscript characters were not drawn, and with a
superscript or small caps size of 1.797e308, moving the type failed
with "result would exceed the canvas".

These proportions are now read as the nearer end of each range when a
file opens: in the type of the layers, symbols, graph designs, patterns
and the pattern definition that Cancel puts back in pattern editing
mode, in graph label styles and in character styles. Proportions in
range and the other character attributes open as saved.

alpha-rock 039a467dcb M9: add multiple colored lights to 3D effects
Add opaque RGB light color and up to ten independently adjustable lights to
Revolve, Extrude & Bevel, Inflate and Rotate. Keep light selection, Add/Delete,
selected-light gizmos and preview transactions on the existing command path.

Preserve legacy white-light Inflate polygons, paint composition and seam joins,
including the 0.05 seam minimum. Use shared smooth normals for colored Inflate,
and batch solid-fill RGB channel paths behind one surface clip. Keep source
paths editable and SVG/PDF output vector artwork.

Rebase onto main f7de3d6a, retaining both sides of progress docs and all 22
catalogs. Shade freeform points once through the shared paint mapper. Document
release measurements and a reproducible CLI fixture, including the remaining
source-gradient cost and the one-light timing tradeoff.

Validation: full cargo xtask ci passed all 10 steps; 7,978 tests passed, zero
failed and 11 ignored. Four legacy white-light PNGs match unchanged main byte
for byte. Three paired release bench/perf repetitions completed without busy
warnings; all six standard perf runs passed every budget. Two-light solid
Inflate improved from 136.2 to 96.8 ms/frame at 1200x1200, default eight threads.

VictorandClaude Opus 5.5 6190525482 G4: Paragraph panel menu › Roman Hanging Punctuation
The Paragraph panel menu's Roman Hanging Punctuation was a disabled stub.

It is now a per-paragraph attribute: in a left-to-right paragraph of point
or area type with it on, the punctuation Optical Margin Alignment hangs
(quotation marks, hyphens, full stops and commas wholly; asterisks,
tildes, ellipses, en and em dashes, colons and semicolons by half) hangs
outside the margin when it starts or ends a line, on the same sides
(left-aligned lines at their left, right-aligned at their right, centered
and justified at both); letters don't hang. With Optical Margin Alignment
on as well, letters hang too. East Asian punctuation keeps hanging only
through burasagari. The layout shares Optical Margin Alignment's hanging
code, given the share of each glyph that hangs.

text.setFormat takes romanHangingPunctuation; it is off by default, saved
only when on, carried by paragraph styles (New and Redefine capture it)
and turned off by Reset Panel. The panel menu item is a checkbox enabled
with type selected.

path.reshapeSegment refused only a delta that was not finite. It moves
a segment's two handles by the delta divided by 3t(1-t), which is
0.1425 at t 0.05 or 0.95, so a finite delta above about 2.5e307 wrote
infinite handles into the path. object.blend.spine.reshapeSegment
refuses a delta of 1e9 pt or longer.

path.reshapeSegment now refuses a delta of 1e9 pt or longer, with its
"invalid delta" error. Two other path commands took a point with no
bound. path.convertAnchor with x, y at 1e308 put the two handles 2e308
apart, so the path's control box was infinitely wide, and path.freehand
through such points with keepSelected off fitted a path whose bounds
reached infinity. Both now refuse a point whose x or y is 1e9 pt or
more in size, with "x and y must be finite", the error
object.blend.spine.moveAnchor gives for the same bound.

dotCooCoo 4712fb2c2f Character: variable fonts get a slider for each axis
VectorCraft listed a variable font's named instances as styles, but
type could not be set between or past them. The reference app's
Character panel has a Variable Font control that adjusts a variable
font's axes, such as Weight, Width and Slant.

Type now keeps Variable Font settings by axis tag
(CharStyle::font_axes, saved as fontAxes only when set). text.setFormat
and text.setRangeStyle take fontAxes: each value is clamped to its
axis's range, a tag the font has no axis for is left out, and null
goes back to the style's own setting. Another font or style clears
them, including one from a character style that does not set them. A
character style captured from type sets them, with {} for none.
text.fontList {family, style} lists a font's axes.

Layout, outlines, the substituted-glyph highlight and PDF export use
the font instanced at the settings, and neighboring runs at different
settings are shaped apart, as runs in different fonts are. SVG export
writes them as font-variation-settings, the wght setting as the weight
and the wdth setting as font-stretch, and embeds the font instanced
there; SVG import reads font-variation-settings back. Legacy .ai export
warns that the settings are left out.

The Character panel shows a Variable Font button for a variable font.
It opens a slider and a field for each axis the font does not hide,
labeled with the font's name for the axis, and screen readers get each
slider under that name. A drag is one undo step. Reset Panel leaves
the settings, as it leaves the font and style.

Missing Glyph Protection now keeps the settings and the font version
on the characters that keep their font; before, it kept only the
family and style. A character style applied or redefined with another
font now clears the old font's version, as text.setStyle does, unless
the style sets one. SVG export with embedded fonts warns when faces of
one weight, style and width share characters, which browsers then draw
in one of the faces.
