Select › Same › Link Block Series (select.same.linkBlockSeries) selects every
frame of the threads that the selected type objects, and the type inside
selected groups, are in, in thread order. Type in no thread selects itself,
other selected objects are left out, and with frames of several threads
selected it selects all of them. Hidden, locked and out-of-isolation frames
are left out, Reselect repeats it, and it records no undo step. The item is
off while no type is selected.
Menu row in every catalog, docs/mcp.md and a docs/target-app-parity.md line.
File > Open and File > Place read BMP files named .dib or .rle (run-length
encoded bitmaps included), Photoshop files named .pdd and PNG files named
.pns, in any letter case. The Open and Place dialogs list them in "All
readable files", "All placeable files" and their format's own filter, and
Glass's Load Texture lists them too. Linked files with these names update
and relink, the Links panel shows their format, and Edit Original opens
them.
The extensions are read-only: exports still write .bmp, .psd and .png, and
an export to a path with one of the new extensions is refused as before.
The desktop packaging does not associate them with the app.
An effect bound to Cmd+Enter wasn't among all_shortcuts, so the active tool took the Enter
before the keymap ran the effect. Effect items' own shortcuts are now listed with the rest.
Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts lists every Effect menu item under its menu
path and gives each one a shortcut (stored as effect:<id>, mapped to
effect.dialog {effect}, or effect.apply for an effect without options).
The menu shows it, and pressing it opens that effect's dialog for the
selection.
After a click on a Layers or Appearance row, a plain Delete or
Backspace now goes to that panel even when the active tool claims the
key. Before, the Artboard tool (and Gradient, Width, Puppet Warp…)
took it first: Delete after a click on a layer row deleted the active
artboard, not the layer.
The Type tool still keeps Delete and Backspace while it edits text.
The native-window harness records each window's texts, so a test can
find a row in it. Delete after a click on the Fill row of an Appearance
panel floating in its own OS window removes the row and leaves the
object.
When an effect that isn't highlighted is dropped on Delete above the
active one, the active effect, the highlight and its anchor now move up
with their rows, and removed rows drop out of the highlight. Before,
they kept their old row numbers and pointed at the wrong effects.
- Drag strokes, fills, characters and effects to move them, or drop them
on the Duplicate or Delete button
- Select several rows with Shift/Cmd-click and move them as one block
- Delete and Backspace remove the highlighted rows, not the selected art
- Row links open their panel (Stroke, Character…) as a flyout
- Stroke weight spinner follows Units > Stroke
- Transparency panel edits the active fill's or stroke's opacity
addon.color.swatchLegend replaces swatch.legend. The dialog sets columns, chip size, gap, the values shown
and whether to use only the swatches selected in the Swatches panel, with a preview; duplicate value
kinds are refused. The Swatches panel menu item is removed. Catalog rows in all 26 languages.
swatch.legend draws a grid of chips, one per colour swatch (the given
ones, else every one), each filled with and linked to its swatch and
labelled with its name and colour values (HEX, RGB, CMYK, Lab or
Grayscale; by default its own model; spot swatches marked), black on
light chips and white on dark ones, as one selected group in one undo
step. The Swatches panel menu's Create Swatch Legend draws the selected
colour swatches, else every one.
Window > Arrange > Tile (window.arrange.tile) splits the document area
into one pane per open document, edge to edge, in a grid with as many
columns as the square root of the number of documents, rounded up. Each
document is fitted to its pane, and fitted again when its pane changes
size (a document opened or closed, the window resized) unless it was
zoomed or scrolled since. The current document's pane is the canvas;
the other panes draw their documents with their artboards, guides,
selected objects and Pixel Preview, and a press in one makes its
document the current one, as a click on its tab does. Window > Arrange >
Consolidate All Windows (window.arrange.consolidateAllWindows) goes back
to one document under its tab. It works the same on the desktop and the
web, and the arrangement is not saved.
Tile is enabled with two or more open documents, and Consolidate All
Windows while documents are tiled. ui.inspect reports tiled and the
panes.
With Preferences › Performance › Real-time Drawing and Editing off, a
Selection tool move drag leaves the object in place until release, and
the bounding box was hidden for the whole drag. The box, with its
handles, now follows the pointer during the drag (Session::deferred_move
gives the offset the document has not taken yet). Scale and rotate
drags, and drags with Real-time Drawing on, hide the box as before.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
Position Panel Above Text sizes the Tabs panel so its ruler spans the
text at the canvas zoom. A floating panel is at least 220 pt wide, so
for narrow text at a low zoom the panel comes out wider than asked, and
the ruler stretched the text's width across the whole panel. Its marks
then no longer sat over the text.
After Above Text, while the same text in the same document is selected
and the panel floats no wider than the narrowest panel, the ruler now
draws the text at its screen scale and runs on past the text's width.
Any other ruler fits the span to its width as before.
A group (`u`), clipping group (`q`) or compound path (`*u`) opened after
the last layer and never closed was accepted, and the art inside it was
dropped without a message. The reader now stops with "it ends inside a
group or compound path", as it already does for data that ends inside a
layer. Pattern and symbol definitions, which are read inside a group of
their own, are not affected.
Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts listed commands whose params are all optional
but that do nothing or fail when a key runs them with none, such as
Transparency (transparency.set) and Opacity Mask Options
(transparency.setOpacityMask). These are now left out while they have
no shortcut, along with Align and Distribute, Delete Swatch, Move
Swatch, Spot Options, Adjust Color Balance, the library and data set
loaders, stroke.set, layer.setProps and menu queries that no menu item
runs. A key saved for one of them before keeps it listed so it can be
cleared.
A shortcut for a command whose menu bar items all give it the same
params now runs what a click on that item runs, so Clean Up..., Print
Ink Fixes... and Find and Replace... open their dialogs.
`ui.actionSet.delete` now moves the panel's selected action down with its
set, and clears it when its set is deleted. Before, the stored set and
action indexes stayed as they were, so a set made later at the deleted
set's index, and an action recorded into it, showed as selected, and
Action Options… renamed that action.
The panel menu read the stored (set, action) pair without checking that
its set is still the current one, as the panel and Delete Selection do.
After `ui.actionSet.delete` removed a set above it, the pair pointed at
another set's action, and Action Options…, Batch… and Play Current
Selection acted on that action. They are now off until an action of the
current set is selected.
The dialog's fields choose what OK does, as they choose its heading. A
`set` or `action` field that `ui.dialog.set` changed to null or to an
index past the last set or action is now an error: OK renames no set or
action, adds no set, and the dialog stays open. Before, an Action Options
dialog whose `action` was null renamed the set instead.
Action Options… opens the New Set and Set Options dialog, headed Action
Options, with the selected action's name; OK renames the action and keeps
its steps. The new command ui.action.rename {set, action, name} does the
rename and refuses an index past the last set or action or an empty name.
Part of #1629.
The Actions panel did not save which set was current, so after a restart
Begin Recording put the new action into the first set (Default Actions)
instead of the set the user had picked. The current set is now saved
with the UI preferences as an index into the saved sets; a value that is
not an index, or is past the last set, leaves no set current.
With no set current, Begin Recording records into the first set as
before, and now makes that set current so the panel shows where the
recording goes.
The place below the text was taken even when the text was panned above
the canvas, which put the panel above the main window. It is now taken
only when it is at or below the window's top. A docked Tabs panel is
measured at the 360-point height it floats at, not 240, so it is placed
below the text only when it fits there.
With no room above the text, the panel went to the top of the main
window's content and could cover the text. It now goes just below the
text when it fits there in the canvas, and at the window's top only when
it does not.
With text near the top of the window, Position Panel Above Text put the
panel, and its OS window, above the main window's content and could put
the bar above every screen. The panel now goes no higher than the top of
the main window's content.
Position Panel Above Text moved a floating Tabs panel only in the layout's
in-window rect. On desktop builds a floating panel is an OS window, which
moves only when its desktop rect changes, so the panel stayed where it
was and the layout followed it back on the next frame. A docked panel
floated above the text as expected.
place_floating now also sets the window's desktop rect, from the main
window's content origin, when the panel's window already has one.
