Fix #482 : Smart Guides land resize handles on anchors and snap the transform tools' drags

Bounding-box resizes with the Selection and Free Transform tools already lined their edges up with the other objects (#355, after v0.4.0), but a handle never landed on another object's anchor point, nothing was labelled, and the Rotate, Scale, Shear and Reflect tools didn't snap their drags at all. - Targets::snap_scale: the dragged corner (free, or along its diagonal with Shift) or side lands on the nearest anchor or centre within the snapping tolerance, labelled "anchor"/"center"; alignment snaps keep their line and now say "align", as an artboard's resize handle does. Alt (from the centre) and rotated boxes work the same way. - The transform tools start a drag from the anchor or centre they grabbed (the point a click would set) and snap the pointer as drawing tools do (Smart Guides, the grid, pixels or Snap to Point), so a corner dragged onto another object's anchor scales exactly onto it. - Factor the nearest anchor/centre lookup (Targets::nearest_point) and the transform tools' drag teardown (end_drag).

A click on the label focuses the field; the text box itself never scrubs, and a field with no label doesn't. Text labels before a field (Transform, Properties, Control bar, Stroke, Transparency, form rows in dialogs) and the Character and Paragraph panels' icons act as labels.

Buttons and the full panel menu: New Layer/Sublayer (Alt: options, Ctrl: on top), Duplicate, Delete, Options for Selection, clipping mask, isolation, Locate Object, Merge Selected, Flatten Artwork, Collect in New Layer, Release to Layers (Sequence and Build), Reverse Order, Template, Hide/Outline/Lock Others and Show/Preview/Unlock All, Paste Remembers Layers, Panel Options (row size, thumbnails per kind, Show Layers Only). Layer Options: name, colour (presets, each with a chip of its colour, or custom), Template, Lock, Show, Print, Preview (outline drawing and clicking) and Dim Images to %. Every operation is a command (`layer.move`, `layer.highlight`, `layer.merge`…) with validation against cycles and invalid nesting.

+- **Drawing aids:** Smart Guides and snapping (moving, with the Selection, Group Selection or Direct Selection tool, and resizing by the bounding-box handles with the Selection or Free Transform tool, Shift and Alt too: the dragged corner or side lands on the other objects' anchors and centres ("anchor", "center") or lines up with their edges and centres (a line and "align"); the Rotate, Scale, Shear and Reflect tools drag from the anchor they grab and snap the pointer the same way, so a corner dragged onto another object's anchor scales exactly onto it, #482; anchors dragged with Direct Selection: the one pressed on lands on other anchors, its own path's that stay put among them, on path segments or in line with them, the others following, Shift keeps 45° steps, and with Smart Guides off Snap to Point pulls it onto anchors; the Artboard tool snaps artboards, and their bleed, to other artboards, bleeds and art, the grid or whole pixels while moving, copying and resizing them, and the Transform panel shows and edits the active artboard's X/Y/W/H), guides dragged out of the rulers (#451: they snap as moved guides do, Shift to the ruler's ticks; with the Artboard tool they are artboard guides, which run across their artboard only and move, copy and delete with it, `guide.add {artboard}`) that the Selection, Direct Selection and Group Selection tools then pick and drag (#414: the selected guides highlight and move together, Alt copies them, Shift snaps the dragged one to the ticks, otherwise it snaps to pixels, the grid or the edges, centres (so the sides' midpoints) and anchors of the art and the artboards, or with Smart Guides off Snap to Point pulls it onto anchors; the arrow keys nudge them, Delete deletes them, dragging one back onto its ruler deletes it, Lock Guides and Hide Guides leave them alone; `guide.list`, `guide.select`, `guide.move` and `guide.remove` reach agents), and Draw Normal / Behind / Inside modes.
 - **Views:** the status bar's artboard navigator (first, previous, next, last; `view.goToArtboard`) goes to an artboard and fits it, and Fit Artboard in Window and Actual Size show the navigator's artboard. The Artboards panel highlights that active artboard: clicking a row makes it active (the Artboard tool's too, while it is chosen) as does clicking an artboard with the Artboard tool, double-clicking its number also fits it in the window and double-clicking its name renames it. Duplicate Artboards, or a row dragged onto New Artboard, copies the artboard with its art (#446). Escape leaves Presentation Mode, F from it goes back to Normal Screen Mode, and the screen mode isn't saved with the preferences: the app always starts in Normal Screen Mode with its menus and panels (#472).
 - **Geometry and effects:**
  - Pathfinder (10 exact curve booleans), Offset, Outline Stroke, Simplify, Clean Up, Split Into Grid, Divide Objects Below. Object › Path › Remove Anchor Points (`path.removeAnchors`) removes the direct-selected anchors without opening their paths (the Delete key still deletes them with their segments): the neighbours keep their handle directions and their facing handles are refitted so one cubic follows the two old segments, and straight sides stay straight. The Delete Anchor Point tool uses the same refit. The Control bar, the contextual task bar, the Properties quick actions and the canvas context menu offer it when anchors are selected. With anchors selected, the Control bar and the Properties panel also convert them to corner or smooth (`path.convertAnchors`), connect end points (Join) and cut the path at them (`path.cutAtAnchors`, also on the task bar and the context menu): a closed path opens there and an open one becomes one path per piece, each cut leaving one of its two coincident anchors selected so a drag pulls the path apart.

  - EPS and DXF in and out, EMF/WMF in and out; PNG (with PNG-8), JPEG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, BMP, Targa and layered PSD export. EPS import runs Illustrator's AGM/CoolType prologs (resource categories, `resourceforall`, `clipsave`/`cliprestore`, subarrays and substrings that share storage, the standard dictionaries in `systemdict`, `dictstack`, `internaldict`, executable filters, `cshow`, metadata skipped with `flushfile`), so Illustrator 30 EPS files open as vectors. It also runs what other generators write (Discord feedback, #466, #469): Illustrator 2026's procsets (`gcheck`, `rootfont`, `currentcolorrendering`: every Illustrator 2026 EPS fell back to its preview before), cairo/Inkscape (`status`/`flushfile`, images with a mask, `ImageType 3`, reusable streams), matplotlib's Type 3 fonts, Illustrator 8 EPS (stock art's usual format: executable strings such as its gradients' `ed`, `load` by integer keys, #474), Ghostscript's `//name` immediate names, `pdfmark`, `token`, `execform` and user paths. Tiling patterns come in as pattern swatches, uncoloured ones too; Type 3 fonts' glyphs as their outlines, spaced by `ashow`/`widthshow`/`xshow`/`kshow`; mesh and function-based shadings (types 1, 4–7) as gradient meshes; sampled functions (type 0) and Flate/LZW predictors are read. When a file's PostScript still can't be read, it opens as its TIFF preview, its Windows metafile preview (as vectors) or its EPSI preview, and the warning (in the status bar, `document.open`/`app.open`/MCP `open_file` replies and `vectorcraft-cli info`) names the error, the operator that raised it and the procedures it ran in. Legacy PostScript `.ai` files (Illustrator 3–8, written with the prolog that defines their operators) keep their groups and nested groups (`u` … `U`), between and inside clipping groups; EPS and EMF/WMF import nest clips (and groups) at most 128 deep, so a hostile file can't exhaust the stack. DXF TEXT justified Fit or Aligned spans its two points (stretched, or scaled as a whole).

On Windows and Linux the tools' cursors are OS cursors (bitmaps rasterized once per display scale), which the system moves itself: painted into the window, they trailed the pointer by the frames waiting to be shown, and the window now queues one frame instead of two (#444). macOS and the web still paint them (macOS sizes cursor bitmaps in points, eframe has no bitmap cursors on the web).

Where the compositor lacks the protocol (GNOME's Mutter, [arboard#223](https://github.com/1Password/arboard/issues/223)), arboard falls back to the X11 clipboard through XWayland, which only holds what X11 apps copied. egui's own text paste into fields goes through smithay-clipboard and works either way.
 - **Copied files:** files copied in a file manager (`text/uri-list`; `CF_HDROP` on Windows, file URLs on macOS) paste as the first one that is art (SVG, PDF, EMF/WMF or a bitmap), before the clipboard's other formats (which include the files' paths as text).

Since Plasma 6.3, KWin no longer turns tablet input into pointer input for such apps ([kwin!6336](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/6336)): the pen moves the compositor's cursor over the window, but the app gets no motion or presses and shows none of its own cursors. Until eframe moves to winit 0.31, either run the app under XWayland, which supports the tablet protocol and hands the pen to X11 apps as a pointer (`WAYLAND_DISPLAY= vectorcraft`, or `env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY vectorcraft`; for a desktop launcher, put `env WAYLAND_DISPLAY=` before the command in its `Exec=` line), or turn KWin's deprecated emulation back on for the whole session by setting `KWIN_WAYLAND_EMULATE_TABLET=1` in KWin's environment (for example in a file under `~/.config/environment.d/` or in `/etc/environment`) and logging in again. The pen then works as a mouse, without pressure: winit 0.30 reads pen pressure on Windows only (Windows Ink, which reaches the Liquify tools' Use Pressure Pen). Other compositors that don't emulate a pointer for tablets behave the same way.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5	f7c88af1de	Fix #482 : Smart Guides land resize handles on anchors and snap the transform tools' drags Bounding-box resizes with the Selection and Free Transform tools already lined their edges up with the other objects (#355, after v0.4.0), but a handle never landed on another object's anchor point, nothing was labelled, and the Rotate, Scale, Shear and Reflect tools didn't snap their drags at all. - Targets::snap_scale: the dragged corner (free, or along its diagonal with Shift) or side lands on the nearest anchor or centre within the snapping tolerance, labelled "anchor"/"center"; alignment snaps keep their line and now say "align", as an artboard's resize handle does. Alt (from the centre) and rotated boxes work the same way. - The transform tools start a drag from the anchor or centre they grabbed (the point a click would set) and snap the pointer as drawing tools do (Smart Guides, the grid, pixels or Snap to Point), so a corner dragged onto another object's anchor scales exactly onto it. - Factor the nearest anchor/centre lookup (Targets::nearest_point) and the transform tools' drag teardown (end_drag).

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5	744edddaea	Part of #491 : pen taps click where they tap; Linux note for tablet pens on Wayland Pens on KDE Plasma 6.3+ under Wayland don't reach the app: winit 0.30 binds no Wayland tablet protocol (zwp_tablet_v2), and since Plasma 6.3 KWin no longer emulates pointer input for such clients (kwin!6336), so the pen moves KWin's own cursor while the window gets no motion or presses. The fix is upstream (winit 0.31's tablet input, winit#4318, once eframe moves to it). docs/development.md and the README give the workarounds: run under XWayland (WAYLAND_DISPLAY=), or set KWIN_WAYLAND_EMULATE_TABLET=1 for the session. On our side, a pen or finger (winit Touch, emulated as a mouse by egui-winit) lifts with an egui PointerGone in the same frame. A tap whose press and lift arrived in one frame had no hover position, so the canvas ignored it, and a drag ending without a pointer position ended at the canvas's centre. The press and double-tap now fall back to the interact position, and the release to the last position seen during the drag. Headless frame tests replay the events a pen produces: a stroke with pressure reaching Use Pressure Pen, and a one-frame tap that selects without moving (fails without the fix). ROADMAP: Last updated, the Platforms row, the hardening gap and the graphics processor/input bullet (pen pressure reaches the tools on Windows only).

It now spans the box round the canvas's corners in document space and draws each line through the view, so the pixel grid and the document grid (lines and dots) turn with the art. The lines are iterated rather than collected, capped, and computed by multiplication instead of accumulating a step. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-10-08 19:00:03 +07:00

Vertical type's runs down each column's centre line. - Type in perspective is picked where it is drawn (through its projection). - The bounds rule type out before its path is built, so hovering stays free of allocations away from type. - The Type tools still edit type clicked among its characters (they made new type there with the preference on), and the Eyedropper still samples it there, as it does inside fills with Object Selection by Path Only. - Tests for all of it; docs/mcp.md and ROADMAP say so.

wstockandClaude Fable 5.1	beea693ee1	Part of #394 : Type Object Selection by Path Only Preferences › Type › Type Object Selection by Path Only was stored and never read. On, the Selection tools pick type on its type path only — point type's baseline (the line the selection marks under it, across its layout's width), area type's frame, type on a path's path — within the selection tolerance; a click among the glyphs or inside the frame selects nothing. Off (the default), anywhere in the type's bounds selects it, as before. `HitOptions` gains `type_path_only`, set by the tools' context (`hit_options()`) and the canvas's `hit_at` from the preference, so the Selection tools, Cmd-click behind, object highlighting and the context menu agree. Tests at the hit-test level (point, area and on-path type) and through the Selection tool with `prefs.set`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-10-08 18:59:47 +07:00

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5	6dc6b8600b	Fix #487 : Keyboard Shortcuts records chords with modifiers egui reports a modifier's own key press (ShiftLeft, ControlLeft…) as a key event, and the recorder took the first key press it saw, so pressing Shift+A saved `ShiftLeft` as the chord: a shortcut that can never fire. The recorder now skips modifier key presses, so the chord completes on the first other key with the modifiers held (Esc still cancels). A modifier is never a chord's key in the shortcut parser either, so `shortcuts.set` refuses one, and overrides saved that way by older versions are dropped on start, giving the default back.
