An image whose decode needs more than the 2 GiB allowance (512 MB on the web) is not drawn.
A raster export says so since #1517; on screen it was still blank with no word. Open and
Place now carry a warning for it, and the Links panel's row a note (links.list: note).
Paste read PDF only from the Windows clipboard and EPS nowhere, so on macOS a copied
equation or drawing pasted nothing new (the last thing copied in the app came back).
- macOS: the pasteboard's PDF, EPS and SVG are read, ahead of text and bitmaps.
- Windows: EPS is read beside PDF.
- Everywhere: an .eps file copied in a file manager pastes.
- clipboard.importEps loads an EPS into the clipboard as document.open reads one.
A group has no paint of its own, so a compound path made of one (outlined type) had none
and drew nothing until a fill was set. The paint now comes from the backmost path, or
from the compound path that painted it.

SaveOptions::for_doc chose pretty-printed JSON by the object count in
the layers alone. A document with few layer objects but many anchors,
or with its art in symbols, patterns or graph designs, was therefore
written pretty, about ten times the compact size: every anchor's "p",
"in" and "out" spread over several indented lines.
A document is now pretty only when it has at most PRETTY_MAX_OBJECTS
objects and its compact JSON is at most PRETTY_MAX_BYTES (1 MiB). The
size is measured by serializing into a writer that stops at the limit,
so a large document costs at most 1 MiB of extra serializing. Small
documents stay readable and diffable.

Each region's outline was fitted on its own, so the edge between two regions was fitted twice, a little
differently, and left hairline gaps and overlaps.
- An outline is cut at its junctions: the pixel corners where three or more regions meet, where two parts of a
region touch by a corner only, and where an edge reaches the image's border (each side of the image is a
neighbour of its own, so the image's corners stay exact). A junction lies where the edges around it say, the
same for every region around it.
- Each piece between two junctions is the whole edge between two regions. Both get exactly the same points for
it (shifts are rounded to 1/1024 px so that the two sides agree to the last bit; whether a piece is hard is
decided by the piece alone) and it is fitted the same way from either side (from its end further left), so it
is one and the same curve in both paths. A loop without junctions is fitted clockwise from its leftmost point:
a shape's outline and the hole it leaves in the shape around it are one curve too.
- Stacked layers (Overlapping) share no edges and are cut at the image's border only.
On each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants (docs/image-trace-quality.md), before -> after:
- Default: gaps 22.2 -> 0.8 px, overlaps 22.4 -> 0.5 px
- 3 Colors: gaps 48.6 -> 0.0, overlaps 29.4 -> 0.0; outlines 0.087 -> 0.104 px off on average
- 6 Colors: gaps 39.0 -> 0.2, overlaps 35.7 -> 0.3; 0.137 -> 0.140 px off, largest 1.09 -> 1.34
- 16 Colors: gaps 34.5 -> 0.2, overlaps 26.4 -> 0.2; 0.133 -> 0.141 px off, largest 1.09 -> 1.31
The public 3D and Materials panel options list Depth, Twist, Taper and Cap
for every 3D type; Inflate had only Depth.
- Twist (0° to 360°) and Taper (1–100 %) turn and scale the back about the
shape's centre, as Extrude & Bevel's do: a puffed back is turned and
lowered in proportion, and the sides follow in slices.
- Cap: Solid closes the back; Hollow leaves it off, so the inflated front is
a shell open behind. The documentation doesn't say what Cap means for
Inflate; this reading is stated in docs/three-d.md.
- The dialog's Object tab shows them in the documented order (Depth, Twist,
Taper, Cap), then Volume and Both sides.
At 0 % volume a twisted, tapered Inflate has the extrusion's outline from
every side (tested).
A twisted, tapered, hollow Inflate draws on the canvas exactly as it
exports, and expands to faces with their own ids (tested). ROADMAP and the
parity pages list the new options; the 3D score stays at ~25 %.
A twist bends the strip between two slices into a saddle; its normal came
from one corner's triangle, which leaned so far back that from about 60° of
twist every wall was taken for facing away and dropped, leaving the front
cap alone. Each strip now takes the whole quad's average normal (Newell's),
as Inflate's facets do. A test checks the faces kept against each strip's
average normal oriented away from the axis, for twists up to 300° and four
views.
The public 3D and Materials panel options give Twist as up to 360°; it took
-360° to 360°. Values beyond either end now hold at that end (the effect is
a day old, so only fresh files carry a negative twist).
On macOS, native_menu::sync reads every row of the menus (each
command's enabled and checked state, and each label) whenever
state_hash changes, and the macOS backend updates the AppKit items
whose label, enabled or checked state changed. The hash included the
active document's revision, and Session::preview makes a new revision
at each step of a drag, so the app read every row again at each step
of a move, scale or shape drag. In a release build on an M2 Max, that
took about 1.5 ms a step with one object selected, and 13.8 ms a step
with 5,001 objects selected.
While an interaction is open, state_hash leaves the revision out.
Move, scale and shape drags, dialog previews and the font menu's
preview are interactions. The menus are read when an interaction
begins and again on the frame it ends: when a drag's button is
released, when Escape cancels a drag, when a move is dragged onto a
panel, when a dialog's preview is applied or canceled, when the font
menu's preview ends, or when a control request such as
ui.dialog.cancel ends it. They are still read on a click or a key
press during an interaction.
docs/development.md says when the menus are updated during an
interaction.
Offset Path, Outline Stroke, the Pathfinder panel, Clean Up, Make
Blend, Rasterize and the other commands that #1429's table marks 3,
except Split Into Grid, added, removed or replaced their objects one at
a time, and so did Remove Anchor Points, Redefine Symbol and the
removal of Shaper groups whose source art is gone. Each insertion or
removal moved the later objects of the layer or group. The lookups by
id that followed walked the tree, and every fourth walk rebuilt the
lookup cache. On 25,000 rectangles a release build of vectorcraft-cli
took 29.1 s for Offset Path.
These commands now make their edits with Document::wrap,
Document::insert_beside and Document::remove_many, in one pass over the
children of each layer or group, and Outline Stroke and Expand write
each new object into the place of the object it replaces. A list that
holds an object twice, or an object and another inside it, and that was
edited without an error before, is still edited one object at a time.
The documents, selections and undo steps are the same. On the same
rectangles Offset Path now takes 1.3 s.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
These commands removed, moved or copied one row or object at a time:
the Layers panel's Delete Selection, Duplicate Selection, Collect in
New Layer, row drags, Merge Selected, Flatten Artwork and Release to
Layers, and Cut Artboard, Duplicate Artboard and the Artboard tool's
Alt-drags that copy art. Each edit moved the later rows of the same
layer or group to other indices. The next lookup by id then walked the
tree, and after every fourth such walk Document::index_path rebuilt
the whole lookup cache. Release to Layers also walked the document
twice for each new layer to name and color it. With 25,000 rectangles
in one layer, a release build of vectorcraft-cli took 11.9 s for
Duplicate Selection and 17.7 s for Release to Layers.
The commands now remove, move and copy the rows in one pass over each
layer or group, with Document::remove_many and Document::wrap, and
with copy_above, the copy pass of duplicate_in, which Duplicate
Selection and the artboard copies now share. Release to Layers names
its new layers from one walk of the document. Merge Selected checks
the target layer's objects against a set of the listed rows, and
Delete Selection checks the top-level layers against such a set. In a
document whose ids are unique, the rows keep their order, new rows and
layers take the same ids, names and colors, and the selection, the
undo step and the journal are the same. A release build with this
change takes 98 ms for Duplicate Selection and 26 ms for Release to
Layers.

The renderer decoded images with the decoder's default 512 MB allocation
limit, so a 300 ppi roll (6614 x 59055 px, 1.56 GB as RGBA) that opens and
exports to PDF fine drew nothing in a raster export - a fully transparent PNG,
exit code 0, no warning. It now decodes with the allowance opening has (2 GB,
512 MB on the web), shrinks an image past a pixmap's 65535 px side to fit
instead of dropping it, and counts any image it still can't decode: a raster
export that drew fewer images than it should says so in its warnings.

Trim decoded the image with the decoder's default 512 MB allocation limit, so
a 300 ppi roll (6614 x 59055 px, 1.56 GB as RGBA) that opens fine failed with
"the image's pixels can't be read". It now decodes with the allowance opening
already has (MAX_RASTER_ALLOC: 2 GB, 512 MB on the web). A CMYK image, kept as
its ink amounts, has no alpha: trim leaves it alone (trimmed: false) instead
of failing to decode it.

Rewords French entries to the feature names French-speaking users of vector illustration software know, as the catalog header asks: Repères commentés, Sélection directe progressive, Trait for Line Segment, Déformation for Shear, Associer for Group, Annuler for Release in the Make/Release submenus, Étape de dégradé, Redéfinir les couleurs de l'illustration, the graph and symbolism tool names. 27 terms are attested in Adobe's public French help pages; the others come from the reviewer's knowledge of the French interface. The eight strings pinned by french_reads_as_french and the MENU_KEEP_AS_IS strings are untouched. Keys with two meanings (Trim, Crop, Merge, Outline, Gradient) are left unchanged: they need @id entries.
Adds the 423 keys that other catalogs translate and fr.tsv lacked. The 19 MENU_KEEP_AS_IS strings stay out of the catalog, as the menu tests require. Entries follow the existing catalog's wording and typography (no-break space before : ; %, typographic apostrophe); placeholders, edge spaces, trailing ellipses and plural forms are preserved.
On Windows, perf printed "load average ?": load_average runs sysctl
or reads /proc/loadavg, and Windows has neither. The warning for a
busy machine could not print, so a run over budget on a busy machine
failed, where macOS and Linux warn and exit 0. perf --deep printed no
memory rows, because rss_mb runs ps. --help did not list --deep.
On Windows, perf now reads GetSystemTimes twice, one second apart,
and its first line gives the cores busy on average over that second
where macOS and Linux give the load average. It warns above three
quarters of the cores, as on macOS and Linux: with all 32 logical
processors of a test machine kept busy, the line read "cores busy
32.0" and a run with three budgets over exited 0. The --deep memory
rows give the working set (GetProcessMemoryInfo). Both calls use
winsafe 0.0.29, which Cargo.lock already lists for the desktop app;
the CLI depends on it on Windows with the kernel and psapi features.
The help lists --deep and says that a run over budget on a busy
machine exits 0. perf's report on macOS and Linux does not change.
A photo's noise is as large as the step from one palette colour to the next, so noise decided pixel by pixel
which of two neighbouring colours a pixel got: tens of thousands of specks, or (since the palette change)
neighbouring tones merged into one.
- A continuous-tone image (eight colours leave much of it unsaid; flat art, however noisy or unevenly lit, is
not one) is smoothed before it is quantised: three rounds of a small bilateral filter, which averages noise
away within a tone and keeps the edges between tones where and as sharp as they were.
- With Method: Overlapping, layers are stacked by lightness, from the largest colour's end of the scale,
instead of by area. Each layer reaches under those above it, so where two colours meet every layer between
them in the stack ends on that same edge and shows through its anti-aliasing: by area that was an unrelated
colour's hairline around every region; by lightness it is a neighbouring tone.
- Ignore White with Overlapping: no layer reaches under the white that is left out.
On each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants (docs/image-trace-quality.md), before -> after:
- High Fidelity Photo: colour error 2.37 -> 1.75 (2.30 at the baseline), edge error 2.59 -> 1.98, 639 -> 121
paths (3,653 at the baseline), 25,604 -> 9,818 anchors, specks 152 -> 10; a 16 megapixel photo-like image is
traced in 3.5 s (31,131 paths) where it was refused
- Low Fidelity Photo: colour error 2.67 -> 2.45, 55 -> 37 paths
- Shades of Gray: 73 -> 17 paths, colour error 9.33 -> 9.26
- The other presets' numbers are unchanged
egui reports drag_started only once the pointer is past its drag
threshold, farther from the press than the ruler's 5 px hit tolerance,
so hit-testing the current pointer usually missed the stop. Hit-test the
press origin instead, falling back to the pointer position.

The theme's widget fill matches the dialog background, so the sliders of
Save for Web, the raster export options, Preferences and the opacity
popup showed only their handle. They share one slider widget now, with a
visible rail filled up to the handle.
In Outline view a template layer drew as outlines like any other, so a
picture placed to be traced turned into a box. It now keeps drawing in
Preview (dimmed as before) while the other layers are in outline.
Color and Grayscale chose their colours from every pixel, so the blends along anti-aliased edges took palette
entries and traced as slivers, and with more colours asked for than the art has, k-means split flat colours
along their noise and the halves traced as specks all over each other.
- The palette is made from the picture's own colours: a pixel that lies between the pixels on opposite sides
of it is a blend and counts for nothing (lines one pixel wide and noise are no blends).
- Colours that noise made of one colour merge: close colours whose pixels are mixed through each other. The
bands of a gradient keep to themselves and stay apart.
- A blend pixel whose nearest palette colour is a third colour (halfway from navy to yellow lies an olive that
is nearer to a green elsewhere) goes to the nearer of the two colours it lies between.
- Boxes are cut where their two sides differ most (Otsu's criterion) instead of at the median, which split the
largest colour of flat art along its noise and left two smaller colours in one box.
- Colours are compared in Oklab when pixels are assigned and in k-means.
On each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants (docs/image-trace-quality.md), before -> after:
- 16 Colors: 69.9 -> 4.2 paths, 1743 -> 66 anchors, outlines 5.08 -> 0.13 px off on average (largest 85.9 ->
1.09), kinks 1376 -> 4.4, paths in a colour the art doesn't have 5.9 -> 0
- 6 Colors: 21.2 -> 4.0 paths, 4.44 -> 0.14 px off; 3 Colors: colour error 4.86 -> 0.43, 0.33 -> 0.09 px off
- High Fidelity Photo: 3636 -> 639 paths, 81,597 -> 25,604 anchors, colour error 2.50 -> 2.37; a 1 megapixel
photo-like image 1.98 -> 0.42 s (51,389 -> 4,298 paths), a 4 megapixel one traced (27,583 paths) where it was
refused
- Low Fidelity Photo: 128 -> 55 paths, colour error 2.59 -> 2.67; Shades of Gray: 91 -> 73 paths, 9.29 -> 9.33
text.create, text.createInPath, text.setText and text.setStyle answer with
overflow: [id…] for the area type and type on a path whose text doesn't fit (left
out when all fits), and MCP add_text with overflow: true. add_text takes area
type's fit and fitMinPercent.
A point outside the grid can be nearer an edge further along the grid's side than one
straight ahead of it; the search stopped a ring early there. The bucket lookup is one
function.
One message translated when #1302 was merged addressed the user with
the formal verb form ("csatolja"); the catalog uses the informal second
person throughout ("csatold").
Extrude & Bevel, Inflate and Rotate sampled every curve at sixteen points and
refused a shape past 1,024 points, about 64 curves: outlined words reached
that quickly, and Rotate refused them although it only turns the outline.
- Each curve takes as many straight pieces as keep it within 1/2000 of the
shape's size (at least 0.05 pt), by Wang's bound: 1 to 32.
- Extrude & Bevel and Inflate take up to 2,048 points, Rotate 65,536.
- Inflate's distance and crossing tests use a bucketed edge index, and
cells no edge crosses skip clipping: about 80 ms at 2,000 points (it was
over 600 ms with the old search; 95 ms at the old 1,024-point limit).
Revolve's own sampling is unchanged.
Selected text in a numeric or text field was drawn in the accent colour on the accent-tinted
selection, in every brightness. The fields that draw their own frame (panel and Control bar fields,
dialog fields, the hex field) now draw it in the strong text colour.
File > Place, Relink and Open refused a grayscale TIFF whose pixels carry an alpha channel or
another extra channel: the image decoder reads neither. They are now read like CMYK TIFFs with
alpha: the first extra sample is the transparency when the file says it is alpha (associated alpha
divided back out), and other channels are left out.
Object > Path > Split Into Grid took a number of rows and columns and one gutter, and split each
selected path on its own. The dialog now has the documented options, the rows beside the columns:
number, height or width, gutter and total, with Add Guides and Preview. Several selected paths
become one grid over them all, painted as the topmost one, as documented.
object.path.splitIntoGrid takes rowGutter and columnGutter (gutter still sets both), totalHeight
and totalWidth, height and width (the size of each row and column, which sets the total) and
addGuides, which adds ruler guides along the row and column edges on the grid's layer.

On each pointer move of an Alt-drag with the Selection, Direct
Selection, Group Selection, Rotate, Scale, Reflect or Shear tool,
Session::preview put the drag's snapshot back and ran object.transform
with copy again, and duplicate_in copied every selected object again.
The Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs with Copy and Preview
on copied every selected object again on each change of a value.
The interaction now keeps the untransformed copies that its first
preview with copy makes of the snapshot. Each later preview that
copies the same objects of the same snapshot transforms only those
copies. The copies keep their ids, and the document, the selection,
the undo step and the journal are the same as before. With 25,000
rectangles selected, a release build of vectorcraft-cli took a median
of 138.5 ms for each Alt-drag move after the first preview and takes
105.7 ms with this change.

Each crack between an inside and an outside pixel is moved to where the pixels across it say the edge is (the
blend of the two tones in the column of pixels across the crack; a thin line by the centroid and sum of its
tone; hard-edged images are read as staircases), and the outline is fitted as Flat Logo mode fits its own:
corners put back, straight runs as lines, a round outline as a circle, the rest as few curves as Paths allows.
Snap Curves To Lines straightens slightly curved runs and makes arcs. A fit that strays from its outline
gives way to a plainer one, and at last to the outline's own points.
On each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants (docs/image-trace-quality.md):
- Default: outlines 0.313 -> 0.091 px off on average, largest 1.51 -> 1.02; edge error 17.2 -> 10.1;
gaps between abutting paths 63.5 -> 22.2 px, overlaps 67.0 -> 22.4 px
- Black and White Logo: 0.270 -> 0.064 px off, kinks 15.3 -> 0.3, anchors 3.78 -> 2.73 times the art's
- Technical Drawing: 0.201 -> 0.086 px off; Line Art: 0.158 -> 0.093
- Worse: anchors on blurred and scanned thin lines (Line Art 25 -> 77 on average), High Fidelity Photo
(colour error 2.30 -> 2.50, anchors 46,866 -> 81,597, 1 megapixel photo-like image 0.37 -> 1.98 s)
Bevel Shape, Space, Bevel Inside, Bevel both sides and Presets, as the public 3D and Materials panel
options page names them. The 3D effects' error messages get rows in the twelve complete catalogs.
The three 3D types besides Revolve, as live effects in the three-d crate,
drawn as shaded vector faces by the canvas, SVG/PDF export and Expand
Appearance alike, from the public 3D and Materials documentation:
- Extrude & Bevel: depth (0-2000 pt), twist, taper, solid or hollow caps,
and bevels in six original cross-sections (classic, rounded, cove, step,
ogee) with width, height, repeat, spacing, inside and both sides.
- Inflate: the shape as a membrane under pressure (a Poisson solve held at
zero along the outline and holes), so it rises vertically from the edge
and rounds without creases; volume, depth and both sides. Steep cells
near the outline are refined without cracks.
- Rotate: every fill and stroke turned in 3D and shaded as one plane.
All three share Revolve's view and lighting parameters, the rotation and
light gizmos (turning about the art's centre) and a dialog with Object,
Rotation and Lighting tabs, with Position presets (Front ... Isometric
Bottom, our own values). An object takes one 3D effect. Inflate cuts the
grid cells that straddle a hole's edge with pathops, hence the new
pathops -> three-d layer order.
Docs: docs/three-d.md, mcp.md, and the 3D rows of the parity docs.
The renderer kept the rasters of an object's drop shadows, outer glows
and filtered content (Gaussian Blur, Feather and the Photoshop-style
filters), and drew them again while the object, the zoom and rotation
and the ink plane stayed the same. The content drawn into a raster also
reads things outside the object: patterns, symbols, brushes, images,
document, layer and color settings, the knockout a group inherits, the
fonts, and the options the frame is drawn with. When one of them
changed, a renderer that had drawn the object went on drawing the
raster it had kept, made from the old values.
Each kept raster now records what its content was drawn from: which of
those things the object reads, found by walking the object when the
raster is made, and a hash of their values then. The renderer draws
the raster only while that hash is the same in the current frame. Once
a frame, the renderer hashes the document's patterns, symbols and
images. It hashes their art and pixels by the addresses of their
shared values, and it keeps weak references to those values while a
raster made with them is kept, so no other value can take one of those
addresses. A filtered raster also records the color channels its
filters split, and under De-Interlace the raster resolution.
A temporary release test timed the inputs of 400 kept rasters at about
10 microseconds a frame.
Opening an EPS whose threaded area type frame has a control point at
x = 8e115 failed with an internal error ("capacity overflow").
`eps_text_frames_never_panic` in `import_fuzz` found it with
PROPTEST_CASES=20000. Text layout flattens a frame to within 0.1 pt,
and for such a curve kurbo 0.13.1's `flatten` calls `reserve` for
`usize::MAX` quadratic pieces. Laying out text around a wrap shape with
such a curve failed the same way. Laying out type on a path along such
a curve panicked in kurbo's `solve_itp` ("attempt to shift left with
overflow") in builds with overflow checks, and in a release build it
did not finish within 20 s. Laying out area type in a triangle frame
that comes to a point at its top, at y = 1e20, did not finish either:
adding a lead to a baseline that large leaves the baseline where it is.
Text layout now leaves out a frame, a text wrap shape or the path of
type on a path that has a coordinate beyond 1,000,000,000 pt either
way, control points included, or a NaN coordinate in an anchor point.
Such a frame or path holds no text, and such a wrap shape is ignored.
PDF export uses the same bound (`MAX_COORD` in
`crates/pdf/src/export.rs`).
Text layout also steps a line down a frame cell at most 100,000 times
to find room for it. In a cell taller than 100,000 leads, a step is the
cell's height divided by 100,000; in a shorter cell, a step is one
lead, as before. Before this change, in a dev build, with triangle
frames that come to a point at their top, laying out text in one
2,000,000,000 pt tall took 9.8 s, and laying out a paragraph whose
Space Before is -1e300 pt in one 1,000 pt tall did not finish within
20 s.
The layout drops lines that overflow an area frame vertically, so counting
the first paragraph's laid-out lines cannot see a wrapped second line
when the frame holds only one. The bisection then found every tracking
"one line" and ran to its 2000 ceiling, which spread the line far past the
frame (most glyphs clipped away) while the command reported success.
one_line now asks whether the first line reaches the end of the first
paragraph, which holds regardless of dropped overflow lines. Regression
test: area 240x50 at size 36 previously returned tracking 1999.9, now
fills the width (avail - w < 5) with the paragraph on one line.
crates/trace/tests/quality draws its inputs from known vector art (no image files), traces them with every
built-in preset and measures fidelity, distance from the true outlines, economy, artefacts, time and memory.
docs/image-trace-quality.md records the numbers on main before any change, beside the same measures of an
open tracer run as a black box. No change to the tracer.
Delete, Cut, Group, Make Compound Path, Make Clipping Mask, Send to
Current Layer, Ungroup and Release Compound Path removed, inserted or
moved one object at a time. duplicate_in inserted one copy at a time;
Duplicate, Copy in the Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs,
Transform Again after a copy, Transform Each with Copy, the perspective
copies and each move of an Alt-drag call it. Each insertion or removal
moved the later objects of the same layer or group to other indices.
The next lookup by id then walked the tree, and after every fourth such
walk Document::index_path rebuilt the whole lookup cache. Each command
did work that grew with the number of objects times the size of the
document: with 25,000 rectangles selected, a release build of
vectorcraft-cli took 7.2 s to group them and 11.5 s to copy them with
object.transform.
Document::remove_many, Document::wrap and Document::insert_beside
remove nodes, wrap them in a new node, or put nodes directly above or
in place of their anchors, in one pass over the children of each
parent. Each finds the nodes with one index_paths call, checks every id
before it changes anything, and clears the lookup cache once. The
commands above use them. The objects keep their order, the copies take
their ids in the same order, and the selection, the undo step and the
journal are the same. duplicate_in still copies one root at a time when
a root is listed twice or lies inside another root. A release build
with this change groups the 25,000 rectangles in 27 ms and copies them
in 121 ms.

The check added for #1396 dropped the inner contour only when the path itself fell in the hole, which takes a stroke more than twice as wide as the shape. Between one and two times the size (a 30 pt ellipse with a 50 pt stroke), and on rectangles with round or bevel joins, the hole stayed.
An offset contour is now left out when no point of it lies half the weight from its subpath: it is then nowhere the edge of the stroke. Subpaths are judged one by one, and only when the stroke is at least as wide as the subpath's bounds, so ordinary strokes take the same single call as before.
A closed path stroked wider than it is came back as a ring, because the inner offset crossed the middle. When that outline no longer covers the path, the outer contour is kept so the stroke paints solid.
With Double Click To Isolate on, the Selection tool isolated groups only. A
double-click on a single path, compound path, image, mesh or placed file now
isolates it too, as the public documentation describes. Type still switches to
the Type tool; blends, envelopes, repeats and symbol instances keep their own
editing modes.
While a single object is isolated only it is hit, marqueed and taken by Select
All, new art goes beside it in its group or layer, and a double-click on the
empty canvas leaves with it selected. object.isolate accepts any object except
type.
The renderer drew each symbol instance by copying its symbol's art,
staining the copy for a stained instance and moving every object in it
by the instance's transform, in every frame. The copies were new
nodes, so the caches the renderer keys by a node's address (cull
bounds, path geometry, glyph layouts, live-effect geometry) missed for
every object of every instance, and the copies stayed in those caches
until they were pruned. Stroke outlines missed as well, because their
cache uses an entry only when the entry holds the node being drawn.
The renderer copied and moved the art of inline graphics in type the
same way.
The renderer now keeps the art it places in a frame cache with a
64 MiB budget, under the address of the symbol's art, the transform,
whether strokes scale with it, and the instance's stain. When the art
is a group or a layer without an appearance of its own, the renderer
copies none of it in a frame whose instances and symbols did not
change, and the objects in it hit the caches keyed by their own
address (cull bounds and paths, glyph layouts, live-effect geometry).
The stroke-outline cache keys a stroke by its address in the
appearance. In the art placed for an unstained instance, each object
without a gradient fill or stroke shares its appearance with the same
object in the symbol's art. When a symbol has two or more unstained
instances, the renderer therefore still outlines the strokes of those
objects again for each instance in every frame. Moving or restaining
an instance, or editing its symbol's art, places that art again, and
the other instances keep theirs. Other art is placed again in every
frame, as before, and so is art that holds a symbol instance, type
with an inline graphic, an image, a placed document, a blend, an
envelope, a repeat or a raster effect. Art that holds type is placed
again when the fonts change.
vectorcraft-cli bench of a symbol of eight paths (three filled and
stroked, two only filled, three only stroked) shown by 2,000
unstained instances took 51.6 ms a frame on main and 32.3 ms with
this change, at 2880x1800 on 8 threads; the same paths in 2,000
groups took 26.0 ms. The peak working set of a bench run at that size
went from 150 MiB to 83 MiB. In the tests, a renderer that keeps
placed art draws the same pixels as a new renderer, and instances
draw the same pixels as groups of their placed art.
Each pointer move of a drag applies the move to the interaction's
snapshot, so the dragged object is a new node in every frame. The
renderer kept the rasters of an object's drop shadows, outer glows and
filtered content (Gaussian Blur, Feather and the Photoshop-style
filters) only for the same node, so every frame of a drag ran those
effects again. On main, a moved frame of texture_drag_perf (a CMYK
rounded rectangle at 190.07% and DPI 1.5 in an 1800 x 1500 view) took
112 to 197 ms in a release build.
The canvas now renders with RenderOptions::interacting while a drag or
a dialog's preview is in progress. When an object misses its cached
raster in such a frame, the renderer takes the raster an earlier frame
made for an object with the same id, slot and ink at the same zoom and
rotation, made by the same effects from content of the same size (to
within 0.000001 pt). It draws the object's content into a raster
placed as that one was and compares the pixels byte for byte (only the
alpha under a shadow or glow). For Feather it also compares the points
of the clip outline, to within 0.000001 pt. When they match, the old
raster is drawn at the new place, rounded to a whole pixel, as a pan
draws a cached raster. Content under De-Interlace never takes a moved
raster, and a raster made over moved rasters counts as moved itself.
A frame rendered without interacting never draws such a raster, or a
raster made over one: the frame after the drag runs the effects again
and draws what a fresh renderer draws. The canvas's cache key includes
whether an interaction is in progress. On the desktop, the canvas
sends the frame after an interaction to the render worker when the
frame shown drew moved rasters. Each cached raster keeps the content it
was made from, within the existing 512 MiB budget. The pixels kept
with a filtered raster take as many bytes as the raster, and the alpha
kept with a shadow or glow takes a quarter as many as the shadow.
texture_drag_perf now renders a drag's frames as the canvas does, then
the frame after the drag, and that frame once more with every raster
cached. A moved frame now takes 20 to 26 ms, close to the 18 to 25 ms
of the cached frame; the frame after the drag takes 110 to 189 ms.

--control took the next argument as its port and dropped it when it wasn't a number, so the app
started without a control server and `--control --automation-read-root DIR` opened DIR as a
document. automation_args::ControlArg now reads --control <port> or --control=<port> once and
requires a port from 1 to 65535; VECTORCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT must be one too, checked only when
--control isn't given so --control and --version win over a bad value. Errors go through the
same exit as the root flags (#1157).
Tests: unit tests in automation_args.rs; tests/automation_args.rs runs the binary for each bad
form and checks the exact message and a prompt failing exit.

Area type whose frame is too short for a line of the font it shows in here
drew nothing: a font that isn't available shows in the fallback font, whose
line may be taller than a frame made for one line of the file's font (overset
type isn't drawn). Where the file itself lays lines out in the frame, the
frame of the imported text object is made taller, from its top, by what its
first line needs, and the open result says how many frames were.
- The type in a text object's drawn look (1 /FreeUndo) is a story of the
undo-free text document, which counts its stories on its own. It was read
as the story of that number in the text document, so a label could show
another object's text in another object's frame. The object itself, which
follows the look, is the type now.
- The page's type of a text object on a hidden layer stays with that object
(hidden) instead of going to the nearest text object that shows.
- The type on the page of a later artboard is matched where the layers have
that artboard, not by the first page's place.
The editing data places a gradient with matrices after Bg: Xm for a linear
gradient's whole ramp and one Bm for each pair of stops next to each other.
The reader kept the last Bm, so a gradient of three stops drew only its last
part. It now uses Xm (or, without one, the span of the Bm's from the first
stop to the last), and a radial gradient's one Bm as before. The angle and
length are in the matrices, so Bg's own numbers are used only without them.
An object's own note of its gradient after it (Bb, Bg, BB with no path) no
longer becomes the fill of the next path.
A dialog opened by a click is drawn in the frame of that click, and in that
frame egui takes the focus from any field the click missed. The first time a
dialog's window shows, that frame only measures it, so its first field took
the focus a frame later and kept it; every later time the field took it in
the click's frame and lost it at once. The field now takes it the frame after
the click.
A .ai file with placed files opened from its PDF part (no guides, no sublayers,
no hidden objects), because the editing-data reader stopped at them.
- Lexer: a placed file's preview section is one token (it was skipped).
- Reader: %AI5_BeginPlace ... ~ becomes a linked image with the file's path,
showing the preview the data keeps of it (premultiplied ARGB, capped at
MAX_PIXELS, its rows checked against the bytes there), in its place: the
matrix takes the file's pixels from the canvas, where they start at the point
of art space's origin. A placed file without a preview, a path or a matrix
still makes the file open from its PDF part.
- The open result lists one warning saying linked pictures show the
low-resolution preview until their files are found (rows in the catalogs).
- Engine: a link nothing is known of whose image shows a preview is read where
it is found as the document opens, into the image's bounds, and isn't
reported as modified.
- Tests: lexer, reader (hand-written data), engine open with the link missing
and found, fuzz tokens.
- Docs: file-format-parity, target-app-parity, gaps, ROADMAP.
A PDF-compatible .ai opens on its trim boxes, its editor's artboards,
with the bleed boxes round them as the document's bleed (#1349). A PDF
saved with its editing data (#1345) keeps that data under
AIPDFPrivateData keys, which has_illustrator_data didn't look for, so
such a PDF with a bleed still opened on its crop box: the artboard took
the bleed in and the editing data was refused as being for a different
page. has_illustrator_data now finds either key. has_private_data, which
also decides how a page is clipped, is unchanged.
Test: a_file_with_a_bleed_opens_on_its_artboard_with_the_bleed_round_it
(the .ai case, and the same hand-written file with AIPDFPrivateData).
A character missing from every installed font was remembered as missing for the whole
session, so installing a font that has it didn't help until a restart. A rescan of the
font folders now forgets those misses, and a search a rescan overtook doesn't record one.
Taken from #992 by sanyamsingh001, without its font file probe.

A background drawn at the artboard's own position could sit 3e-14 pt outside it and
stay behind when the artboard moved, was copied or scaled its art. Art within a
millionth of a point of the artboard's edges now counts as inside it.
The fix and both tests are from #1295 by Luca Lorenz, without its change to art that
only partly overlaps the artboard.

Its View row asked for the row's whole width for its menu before its label was laid out, so
the row ran past the panel, the panel's content grew and the start of every label was cut off.
The buttons were placed (WIDTH - 36) / 2 from the panel's content edge, but
the docked panel's content is narrower than WIDTH: the 1.5 pt frame stroke on
both sides and the 1 pt separator line egui reserves on the right leave 44 pt.
So the single column sat 6.5 pt from the left border and 1.5 pt from the right
(2.5 pt right of centre), and the double column's second button ran over the
right border. Centre each row on the panel's inside instead, and widen the
double column to 80 pt so its two buttons fit with 2 pt either side.
Unlocked rectangle corners now each use their own radius and type (top left,
top right, bottom right, bottom left) instead of all following the first one,
and straight corners are cut across instead of rounded. patchy-shapes.af now
matches its embedded thumbnail (mean difference 1.91 -> 0.24) with no warning.

In builds with overflow checks (`cargo run`, `cargo test` and
`cargo xtask ci`), PDF export aborted the process when a number it
wrote rounded to -2,147,483,648 as an f32. pdf-writer 0.15 writes
-2,147,483,648.0 as an integer, and `Limits::register_int` overflows
when it takes the absolute value. krilla 0.8.2's `Surface` then fails
an assertion in its `Drop` while that panic unwinds.
`svg_hostile_markup_never_panics` in `import_fuzz` hit it with type
shifted 2,147,483,649 pt down. Paths, gradients, dash offsets, images
and artboards that far out hit it too, and so does a group around a
stroke wide enough to reach that far. Release builds have no overflow
checks.
PDF export now leaves out art whose coordinates or transform entries
lie beyond 1,000,000,000 in its own space or in the content stream it
is drawn into, and glyph lines whose spacing lies beyond 1,000,000,000
thousandths of an em. That covers paths and clipping paths, glyph
lines, images, gradients, strokes whose width, caps or miter spikes
reach that far, and the art and marks of a page whose artboard lies
that far, which is written blank. A dash offset beyond the bound is
written as its remainder after whole periods of the pattern.
The type's transform is now pushed inside the form that marks a fill
or stroke of type to overprint. The exporter checks what that form
holds through the type's transform, as it checks the same fill or
stroke without overprint.
Its samples follow a %%BeginData comment that comes after the %_ prefix, where the lexer
took it for a comment later in a line and read the samples as tokens: the rest of the file
was misread ("U closes something it didn't open") and the file opened from its PDF part.
A click with the Polar Grid tool opens the shared shape dialog (width, height, concentric and
radial dividers), as the Rectangular Grid tool does, and keeps the divider counts as the tool's
options.
Rounding a single corner is done by selecting that corner, then
dragging its widget: a drag on a path selected whole rounds every
corner with both tools, as before. What was missing is selecting the
corner on the widget itself. With the Direct Selection tool a plain
click on a corner widget (press and release, no drag) now selects that
corner, as a click on the corner's anchor does; Shift-click toggles it.
The widget is then the only one showing, and the next drag on it rounds
that corner alone.
Unchanged: Alt-click cycles the corner kind, the Selection tool's click
on a widget does nothing, corners picked by their anchors edit together.
Test: corners::tests::a_click_on_a_widget_with_direct_selection_selects_its_corner.

Object › Align ran object.align without to, so it aligned to the key
object while there was one and otherwise to the selection. With Align
to Artboard chosen it aligned two objects to the selection's bounds,
and it left a single selected object where it was, while the align
buttons of the Align panel, the Control bar and the Properties panel
move that object to the active artboard. The Align To choice was kept
in egui's temporary memory, so it went back to Align to Selection at
each launch, and ui.inspect did not report it.
The choice is now the UiState field align_to, which the desktop app
saves with its preferences and ui.inspect reports. A saved value other
than "artboard" reads as Selection, and the other preferences still
load. Object › Align now sends the to that the align buttons send: the
artboard when one object is selected, else the key object while there
is one, else the Align To choice. With anchor points selected it sends
its parameters as before, and the points align to their own bounds.
While one object is selected, the Align To row shows Artboard. Agents'
object.align calls without to keep the engine's default.

Preferences › Appearance of Black › On Screen was stored and never read.
Display All Blacks Accurately (the default) shows pure CMYK black, black
ink alone at 100%, through the working CMYK profile, a dark grey, as the
canvas always did. Display All Blacks as Rich Black now shows it on the
canvas as RGB black: fills, strokes, type, gradient stops, effect colours
and pattern tiles, and in CMYK documents drawn by ink planes a pixel
whose inks come out as black ink alone. Rich blacks, black tints and
placed images show the same either way; exports and printing are
unchanged (Printing / Exporting is a separate option).
The renderer gets RenderOptions::rich_black, painted with a new
Ink::RichBlack (screen colours with pure black as RGB black) and applied
by ink::compose. The canvas sets it from blackOnScreen and keeps it in
its cache key, so changing the preference redraws.
A headless frame test reads the canvas raster: K100 shows its profile
grey by default, RGB black with rich, a rich black unchanged, and grey
again with accurate. A render test covers the opaque and ink-plane paths
and checks that rich blacks, tints and images don't change.

With anchors of one path direct-selected and another object selected
whole, the arrow keys (object.nudge), path.moveAnchors and a Direct
Selection drag of the selected anchors moved that object without its
pattern tiles, whatever General › Transform Pattern Tiles was set to.
When the same object was selected on its own, the arrow keys and a
Direct Selection drag followed the preference. path.moveAnchors left
the tiles in place in that case too.
path.moveAnchors now follows the preference for the objects it moves
whole, as the transforms, Align and Distribute do. path.moveAnchors
and object.nudge also take a `patterns` param for one call. When those
objects use a pattern, the journal records the choice, and a recorded
action plays back with it. Partly selected paths still move only their
selected anchors.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (transformPatternTiles), docs/target-app-parity.md.
These commands moved selected objects into a hidden or locked layer,
or hid them, and left them selected, with the key object still set
when it was one of them:
- a row dragged into a hidden layer or group (layer.move);
- node.move into a hidden or locked layer or group;
- Merge Selected into a hidden or locked layer;
- Flatten Artwork into a locked layer;
- Collect in New Layer, when the topmost row it collects is in a
hidden or locked layer;
- applying a data set that hides bound objects (dataset.select,
dataset.next, dataset.prev).
They now call Selection::deselect_uneditable after the change, as
layer.setProps, layer.hideOthers and layer.lockOthers do. Every
selected object left hidden or locked is deselected, and the key
object is cleared when it is one of them. Undo restores the objects
and selects them again with the key object. A row drag into a hidden
layer and node.move into a hidden or locked layer still succeed. The
params text of layer.move, node.move, layer.merge, layer.flatten,
layer.collectInNew and dataset.select describes the deselection.
The Layers panel section of docs/mcp.md said that node.move has the
same rules as layer.move; it now says that node.move also moves a row
into a locked layer or group, which layer.move refuses.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
A PDF saved with the reference app's editing data keeps that data in
streams named AIPDFPrivateData1, AIPDFPrivateData2, ..., where a .ai
file uses AIPrivateData1, AIPrivateData2, .... illustrator_data read
only the .ai names, so such a PDF opened like any other PDF: plain
groups opened ungrouped, and hidden objects and guides were missing. The
import gave no warning that the PDF's editing data went unread.
illustrator_data now reads the AIPDFPrivateData streams when the file
has no AIPrivateData1, and the PDF opens from its editing data as a .ai
file does. editingData: false still opens it like any other PDF.
has_private_data still looks for AIPrivateData keys only.
layered_ai also returns whether it read the layers. When it did, art
reaching past a PDF's page opens whole, and through_editing_data drops
the PDF importer's note that such art was clipped (PAST_PAGE_NOTE, now
public) as it drops the off-artboard note. When it didn't, both notes
stay. On main, a .ai whose editing data can't be decoded or has no
layers opened from its PDF part without the off-artboard note.
testkit::ai::pdf writes the .ai file of testkit::ai::ai with the PDF
key names. The editing-data tests open it as a PDF, and the import fuzz
test opens the damaged sample as a PDF too.
Docs: the document.open params, docs/mcp.md,
docs/file-format-parity.md, docs/gaps.md (G9: the export direction of
#868 remains), one evidence line in docs/target-app-parity.md, and #868
moved from layer structure to editing data in the File formats row of
docs/target-app-parity.md and in docs/roadmap.md.
A PDF-compatible .ai with a bleed writes its PDF part's page as the
artboard grown by the bleed: the crop box takes the bleed in, the trim
box is the artboard and the bleed box the bleed. The importer made the
crop box the artboard, so the bleed opened as more white page with no
bleed guide; and since the editing data's artboard no longer matched
that page, its layers weren't read either ("its editing data is for a
different page").
Opening a PDF-compatible .ai with the crop box (the default) now takes
its trim boxes as the artboards. Any import on the trim boxes (Crop To
› Trim, for a PDF too) sets the document's bleed to how far the bleed
boxes reach past them on each side (ISO 32000-1, 14.11.2), kept to
0–72 pt, and the document read from the editing data keeps it. Art in
the bleed shows outside the artboard, within the bleed guide. Plain
PDFs still open on their crop box by default, and Place is unchanged.

A PDF, and the PDF part of a PDF-compatible .ai, writes a shape filled
with a gradient as a clip followed by a shading fill: the shape, W n,
then sh, which fills the clip's bounds. The importer kept that as a
clip group of the shape (a clipping path) and a rectangle the size of
its bounds filled with the gradient. The Shape Builder skips clipping
paths, so it built its pieces from the rectangles: two overlapping
gradient-filled diamonds gave three rectangles. The Fill swatch showed
? for such a selection, since it held groups.
A clip whose only content is one rectangle covering the clip, filled
with a gradient placed on the page and nothing else, now comes in as
one path: the clip's outline, its subpaths closed, with the
rectangle's fill, opacity, blend mode and mask. It draws as before and
edits like a gradient-filled path drawn in the app. Clips holding
anything else (a flat colour, several objects, a gradient that doesn't
cover the clip, a shading that doesn't extend past its ends) stay clip
groups.
Tests: a diamond clipping a shading imports as one closed path of four
anchors with the linear gradient where it was, and a gradient covering
only part of the diamond or a flat colour stay clipped. Two overlapping
diamonds in a hand-written PDF, clicked on their overlap with the Shape
Builder, give what is left of each (9000 pt² each) and the overlap
diamond (3000 pt²), each with its gradient; main gave three rectangles
of 12000 pt².

A CMYK page with transparency is drawn through an alpha soft mask that covers the page (a
non-isolated group). Its cover was black: opaque as alpha, but nothing shows in a reader that
takes the mask's luminosity. A white cover is the same mask either way.
Setting a tiling pattern went through every pattern made so far to
find one with the same PaintProc, cell and color, and went through the
document's patterns again to name a new one. Each spot ink was looked
up in the list of every ink used. When the reading ended, each ink and
each pattern became a swatch after a search of all the swatches, and
the second object of each clipping group of two was looked up in the
list of every shading painted. For a file that makes n of any of these,
the searches did work that grows with n squared: a dev-profile build of
vectorcraft-cli info took 99 user CPU seconds on a file that makes
160,000 tiling patterns, 35 on one that uses 160,000 spot inks, and 3.2
on one that paints 160,000 shadings through clips.
The patterns are now kept in a hash map, under a hash of the
PaintProc's storage, the cell, and the color, tint and swatch that an
uncolored pattern is set in. A lookup compares the patterns under the
same hash, with the comparison it made before. The inks are kept in a
map by name, and the shadings are kept in a set. The swatch names go
in a set while the swatches are made. The reader's document gets its
patterns only from tiling, so the name search always ended at Pattern
n+1 after n patterns, and that name is now made directly. A pattern
whose cell has a NaN corner never compared equal to another, and it is
no longer kept for lookups. The three files now read in 1.3, 0.6 and
0.9 user CPU seconds, and the documents read are the same as before.
Tests: a program that makes 200,000 tiling patterns and uses 200,001
spot inks reads within 20 seconds, with the patterns named in order;
a pattern made again from its prototype, and an uncolored pattern set
again in a color it was set in, are the same pattern.
The details name the copy's images, so the new document written before them paired with the old
details lost the images placed since the last copy (and a first copy lost all of them). Until the
new document is in, the details name the old and the new images.
Save serializes JSON straight into the compressor and writes images from their Arc into the
file; open reads each image into its own buffer, and NodeKind reads its tag first instead of
buffering every node. Already-compressed images are stored rather than deflated again in the
same gzip stream. Limits apply per section, so any file VectorCraft writes opens again. Data
Recovery writes each image once, content-addressed, instead of every interval. Native files open
on a background thread. Files stay readable by main both ways; JSON-only saves are identical.

Rarely set fields move into one optional boxed NodeExtras, and large NodeKind payloads (images,
live shapes, blends, envelopes) are boxed. Every object, and every undo step that copies it,
shrinks: a 50k-path move keeps ~24.5 MB per step instead of ~40 MB. Files stay byte-identical
(Node keeps its flat JSON through a borrowed Serialize and a from-wire Deserialize, no flatten),
and loading is slightly faster. Undo and redo reuse their step's size estimate instead of
walking the document again (8.3 -> 5.6 ms for a 50k-path move).

Text geometry, clips, clip paints, effect art, brushes, live effects, pattern tiles and freeform
grids were capped by entry count and cleared wholesale on overflow, so a document past the cap
(e.g. more than 4,096 type objects) recomputed every entry on every frame. A FrameCache keeps
per-entry byte sizes and last-used frames, drops the least recently used entries of earlier
frames, and sweeps stale ones. Text geometry keeps its glyph outlines once instead of twice.

The navigator re-rendered the whole document on the UI thread on every revision, including
each drag step, and layer thumbnails re-rendered whole layers the same way. Both now keep the
last image while an interaction runs, render on a background worker once the document settles
(synchronously on wasm and in tests), and turn on image mips. Thumbnails are keyed by node id
with a Weak, not by a reusable address.

History was limited by step count only; a whole-selection move of 50k paths keeps ~40 MB per
step. Steps now carry a size estimate (only unshared subtrees are visited) and the oldest are
dropped beyond a byte budget, keeping the last 8. Documents entering history drop their id
index, selections are shared between steps, the command journal is bounded (held while an
Action records), and document resources are copy-on-write. Saved files are byte-identical.

Decoded images were kept per Renderer at full resolution and never evicted, so the canvas,
render worker, thumbnails and panels each held their own copy (96 MB per 24 MP photo).
They now live once in a process-wide LRU store keyed by content, with optional mip levels
(RenderOptions::image_mips, off by default so exports stay identical). Thumbnail renders
now sweep their caches, and shadow/effect rasters share a 512 MiB budget and match by Arc.

Simplify and Add Anchor Points edited the document whenever the
selection held a path, so a call that changed no path still recorded
an undo step, emptied Redo, marked the document modified and turned
the selected live shapes into plain paths. OK in the Simplify dialog
did the same. Simplify at its default options leaves a rectangle, a
star, a line and a path with one anchor as they are, and Add Anchor
Points leaves a path with one anchor as it is.
Both commands go through edit_paths, which now computes the new paths
before it edits the document. When no path changes, the command
returns without editing the document, and the reply
({ids, before, after}) has the same form and counts as before. When
some paths change, the command replaces only those paths and records
one undo step, so a path that Simplify leaves as it is keeps its live
shape.
One line in the evidence list of docs/target-app-parity.md names the
commands.
Disable, Enable, Unlink and Link Opacity Mask and Opacity Mask Options
(transparency.setOpacityMask) edited the document whenever a target
had an opacity mask, even when every mask already had the flags the
call set. Such a call recorded an undo step, emptied Redo and marked
the document modified.
When every mask a call acts on has those flags already, the call now
returns without editing the document, whether it acts on the
selection, on id or ids, or on the object whose mask is being edited.
The reply is still null, and the journal still records the call. A
call that changes a flag on any of the masks is still one undo step.
One line in the evidence list of docs/target-app-parity.md names the
commands.
setdash took a dash array of any length, and the graphics state kept
a copy of it. gsave, gstate, currentgstate and setgstate copied the
whole pattern with the state, currentdash made an array of it, and
each stroke and strokepath copied and scanned it. Each of these
counted as one operation against the operation budget. Under a
pattern of 1,000,000 entries, a pass of gsave grestore took 0.38 ms
of user CPU time, and a pass of strokepath on a line took 2.05 ms.
Loops of the two would reach the budget after about 1.6 and 2.8
hours.
setdash now raises limitcheck for a pattern of more than 65,535
entries, the most elements an array has in a typical PostScript
implementation (PostScript Language Reference, third edition,
Table B.1). Saved and copied graphics states share the pattern.
setdash and each stroke count each entry they read or copy as one
operation, and currentdash counts the array it makes against the
memory budget. Under a pattern of 65,535 entries, loops of setdash,
currentdash, stroke and strokepath now run out of the operation
budget, or the memory budget for currentdash, after 0.08 to 0.31
seconds of user CPU time.
Tests: a pattern of 65,535 entries is set, and a pattern of 65,536
entries stops the reading with limitcheck. Under a pattern of 65,535
entries, 4,000,000 passes of gsave grestore and 2,000,000 passes of
gstate currentgstate setgstate finish, and loops of setdash,
currentdash and strokepath run out of a budget. The test of these
loops reads each program on a thread of its own and fails when no
result arrives within 20 seconds.
These commands edited the document even when nothing changed, so the
call recorded an undo step, emptied Redo and marked the document
modified:
- Fill, Stroke, None, Apply Last Color and Apply Last Gradient with the
paint the objects have already, also on characters selected with the
Type tool.
- stroke.set and stroke.setAdvanced with the options the strokes have
already.
- paint.editGradient, paint.setGradientGeom and the freeform point
commands when the gradient comes out as it was.
- Invert and Complement on the Appearance panel's selected row when no
color changes.
- Swap Fill and Stroke and Default Fill and Stroke when every object
comes out as it was.
- appearance.setItem with the values the item has or an index no
object has, and transparency.set with an item and the values that
item has; appearance.removeItem with indices past every stack;
appearance.moveItem, Reduce to Basic Appearance, Clear Appearance,
the Eyedropper (appearance.copyFrom) and appearance.transfer when
every object comes out as it was.
These commands now return without editing the document. The replies
have the same form as before. On a graph's series or labels, a fill or
stroke that the art has already still records one undo step when the
graph does not keep that paint for them (for example after the
Eyedropper painted the art), and the graph then keeps it.
The Eyedropper test whose second copy changed nothing gives its target
a green fill first, which the copy turns red again.
One line in the evidence list of docs/target-app-parity.md names these
commands, apart from Invert and Complement.
The operation budget counted each operator once, however long a path
it made or read. arc and arct with a huge radius make up to about a
million curve segments, strokepath makes a piece for each dash, and
rectfill makes five path elements for each rectangle in an array.
pathbbox, clip, clippath, shfill, pathforall, gstate, currentgstate
and setgstate read or copy the whole current path or clip path, and
in an encoded user path a byte of the operator string can repeat the
next operator up to 223 times. In a loop, each pass counted a few
operations. vectorcraft-cli info was still reading each of 15 files
that run one of these in "loop" when "timeout 300" stopped it, after
28 to 128 seconds of user CPU time. With a radius of 50 instead of
2.9e30, the loop of arc ran out of the budget after 6.9 seconds of
user CPU time.
Each of these operators now counts the path elements it makes, reads
or copies as one operation each. Making or reading an element took up
to about as long as an operation in a loop of pop, and copying one
took less. strokepath also counts each entry of the dash pattern in
each period of the path. An encoded user path counts each entry of its
data array, each byte of its operator string and each operator it
runs. The 15 loops now end with "the program runs too long" after 0.06
to 2.35 seconds of user CPU time, and the loop of arc with a radius of
50 ends after 1.9 seconds of user CPU time.
Tests: a loop of each of these operators runs out of the operation
budget. The loops cover arc and arct with a huge radius, strokepath
with a fine dash and with dashes of length zero, rectfill with 2,000
rectangles, the eight operators that read or copy a path of 10,001
elements, and uappend on three encoded user paths. The tests read each
program on a thread of its own and fail when no result arrives within
20 seconds.
A shading's Function can be an array of functions. eval evaluated every
entry of an array and the arrays inside it, with only a depth limit. An
array of 100 entries that all refer to the same array one level down,
nested that way a few levels deep, is small in memory, but each
evaluation visited about 100^levels functions, and a gradient samples
such a function 33 times. vectorcraft-cli info on a file with four
levels of 100 shared entries had used 90 CPU seconds, with a 12 MiB
resident set, when "timeout 120" stopped it. eval also counted nothing
against the operation budget: a loop that paints an axial or radial
shading counted a few operations a pass, however many functions each
pass evaluated. On a file that paints a gradient of one Type 2 function
with N 2 in "{ sh shfill } loop", vectorcraft-cli info ran for
209 CPU seconds, and its resident set reached 4 GB before the program
ran out of the operation budget.
eval now counts the functions one evaluation visits, as linear_points
counts its nodes, and raises limitcheck past 257. The PostScript
Language Reference defines a shading's function as one function
dictionary or an array of one for each color component. The reader
allows 32 components, and the depth limit allows each entry a chain of
8 functions. An array with more entries than the visits left raises
limitcheck before it is copied. Each function visited counts 8
operations against the budget: one visit took as long as 6 to 10
operations, measured with loops of pop and of a name lookup.
Tests: a shading over four levels of 100 shared entries raises
limitcheck, and the square drawn before it stays; a shading over one
array of 256 entries is drawn as a gradient, and one over 257 entries
raises limitcheck; a program that paints 2000 shadings over the
256-entry array runs out of the operation budget. The test reads each
program but the last on a thread of its own and fails when no result
arrives within 20 seconds.
Select All, All on Active Artboard and Inverse select from selectable:
the visible, unlocked objects on visible, unlocked, non-template
layers and sublayers, or in isolation mode the visible, unlocked
objects in the isolated group or layer and in its visible, unlocked,
non-template sublayers. Other Select menu commands did not use it:
- Clipping Masks, All Text Objects, Stray Points and Open Paths
selected hidden and locked objects and the objects in hidden or
locked groups and sublayers.
- Point Text Objects, Area Text Objects, Brush Strokes, Bristle Brush
Strokes and the Same commands for symbols, fonts and text colors
checked an object's own flags and its layer's, but not those of the
groups and sublayers between them.
- Next Object Above and Below selected the object beside the selected
one even when it was hidden, locked or a sublayer.
- A saved selection picked from the Select menu selected again the
objects hidden or locked since it was saved.
- Direction Handles direct-selected the hidden and locked paths in a
selected group.
- In isolation mode, the commands in the first two bullets, the other
Same commands, All on Same Layers and a recalled saved selection
selected art outside the isolated group or layer. Next Object Above
and Below and Direction Handles did so only when the selection
already held something that was not inside the isolated group or
layer.
In isolation mode selectable checked the flags of the isolated group's
or layer's objects and sublayers, but not those of the group or layer
itself or of the groups and layers it is in. Select All, All on Active
Artboard and Inverse still selected the isolated group's or layer's
objects after it, or a group or layer it is in, was hidden or locked.
In isolation mode selectable now returns nothing while the isolated
group or layer, or a group or layer it is in, is hidden, locked or a
template layer. walk_selectable visits the objects selectable returns
and the objects inside them, leaving out hidden and locked objects
with what they hold. It visits nothing in a hidden, locked or template
layer, sublayer or group. The commands in the bullets above now select
from it. All on Same Layers takes the objects on the selected objects'
layers that selectable returns. Next Object Above and Below pass over
the objects walk_selectable leaves out, and leave the selection as it
is when none is left in that direction.
The params texts of Direction Handles and Recall Selection,
docs/mcp.md (Object selection, Saved selections) and one line in the
evidence list of docs/target-app-parity.md describe the change.
Overnight doc conflicts were resolved by keeping both sides, which left two or three copies of
some milestone and parity rows (M1–M3, M5–M7, M14; six area rows; one type row). Each is now one
row with every note. The 2026-10-12 progress row takes the 30 PRs landed since and the Film
Grain row that #1282 added separately.
A subpath that geometrically closes (e.g. an ellipse outline) was always emitted
with SPLINE group 70 = 8 (planar only). Autodesk's DXF reference defines bit 0
of group 70 as 'closed', and CAM software such as VCarve relies on it to treat
the cut as a pocket or profile rather than asking the operator to join endpoints.
Now `self.e.int(70, if sub.closed { 8 | 1 } else { 8 })`.
Test: extend lines_are_lwpolylines_curves_splines_and_fills_hatches to assert
the existing closed ellipse's SPLINE group 70 is '9' (1 closed + 8 planar).
These commands edited the document even when nothing changed, so the
call recorded an undo step, emptied Redo and marked the document
modified:
- Change Case to the case the text has, Smart Punctuation on type with
nothing left to change or on a selection with no type in it, and
Find and Replace when every match is replaced with the text it is.
All three rewrite the text runs through edit_runs, which now edits
only when a run changes.
- Convert To Area Type with no point type among the objects, and
Convert To Point Type with no area type among them.
- Type on a Path Options given the values the type has, without Flip:
OK in the dialog with nothing changed, or a Type on a Path effect
the type has.
- Fill with Placeholder Text on type that holds its placeholder text
already.
- type.insert with an empty text on type that ends with a run of
text.
These commands now return without editing the document. The replies
have the same form as before. A call that changes something still
records one undo step.
One line in the evidence list of docs/target-app-parity.md names every
command above except type.insert.
An image larger than the tracer's 64 megapixels was refused. It is now
decoded and box-filtered down to the largest size of its aspect within
64 megapixels, and the traced paths are mapped back to the image's own
size. Images over 192 megapixels are still refused from their header,
before decoding.

moveto, lineto and curveto check that the current path holds fewer
than 1,048,576 elements before they add one, and they stop the reading
with "a path has too many points" when it is full. closepath added its
element without that check. In an encoded user path, a byte of 255
runs the next operator 223 times. vectorcraft-cli info on a 622-byte
file with one uappend that runs closepath 11,150,000 times peaked at a
memory footprint of 601.9 MiB and reported "the file draws nothing".
The string operator makes strings of up to 4 MiB, and one uappend of
an operator string that long would add about 468 million elements of
56 bytes, about 24 GiB.
closepath now makes the same check before it adds its element, in the
closepath operator and in the ClosePath arm of append_user. On the
file above, the reading now stops with "a path has too many points",
and vectorcraft-cli info peaks at 62.0 MiB. A path below the limit
closes as before.
Tests: a moveto followed by 1,100,000 closepaths, and a uappend that
runs closepath 1,059,250 times, are each read between two squares.
Each reading stops with "a path has too many points" and keeps only
the first square.
Each tool switch builds a new tool, and a new Artboard tool started on
Artboard 1 whatever artboard was active. With Artboard 2 active, after
the tool was chosen with Shift+O, its toolbar button, Edit Artboards in
Properties or Document Setup, or the Artboards panel menu's Artboard
Options…, the canvas outlined Artboard 1, and Delete, Cut, Copy, the
Transform panel and Artboard Options acted on Artboard 1. The first
pointer event over the canvas, a hover included, then made Artboard 1
the active artboard for Align to Artboard and Paste in Place too.
VectorcraftApp::select_tool now starts a newly chosen Artboard tool on
the active artboard, as the Artboards panel row's Options button does.
Choosing the tool again while it is in use leaves it as it was, and the
artboards Shift-clicked into its selection stay selected.
The test makes Artboard 2 active, chooses the tool with tool.select,
and checks the tool's active option, Artboard Options, a hover over
Artboard 1 and Delete. It then presses Shift+O with two artboards
selected and checks that both stay selected.

Add the Hungarian catalog (4,524 rows): every menu string, every `tl!`
literal, the contextual and `@id` rows, the plurals and the status and
error messages, written from the meaning of the English labels in
general Hungarian vector-illustration vocabulary. Conventions are in the
header of `hu.tsv`.
- Register `hu` ("Magyar") in `i18n::LANGUAGES` as a complete language
with `plural_none` (a count takes the singular); every `hu-*` locale
resolves to it.
- Tests: Hungarian joins the menu-label, menu-string, `tl!`-literal and
message coverage checks; `hungarian_reads_as_hungarian` pins the core
vocabulary, the plural, the `file.close` override and a nested
message; ő ű Ő Ű are checked in the bundled UI fonts.
- README, ROADMAP, docs/development.md and docs/localization-parity.md
list Hungarian.
Localize native/web file filters, diagnostic labels, numbered presets
and contributor tooltips with English fallback and Czech plural forms.
Fix gradient adjective agreement and disambiguate Japanese printer marks
in PDF/Print choices and summaries. Keep file extensions and names intact.
Add Czech catalog rows and regression coverage; update localization evidence.

Find in Folder… in Linked File Not Found and in the Links panel menu
looks in a folder the user picks, and in its subfolders, for the files
with the names of missing linked files, in any letter case. In the
Links panel menu it looks for the selected linked files when there are
any. It uses the folder search of the Missing Fonts dialog. Find
Linked Files lists each file it looks for with the files found for it.
A file with the size and contents saved with the link comes first. A
file of the saved size comes next when the link saved no hash or the
file is larger than 1 GB, and any other file of the name comes last.
Within each group, a file named in the same letter case comes first.
Then each file's folder names are compared with the saved path's, from
the innermost outward, up to the first one that differs, and a file
with more matching names comes before one with fewer. A file is chosen
when it is the only file found, or the only one with the saved
contents, and the user can choose another file or Don't Relink.
Relink relinks each file chosen, and each relink is one undo step.
With Copy into the document's folder, which shows for a saved
document, each image's file is copied next to the document first. The
file's name, then Name 2.png, Name 3.png and so on, are tried in turn
until one is free, which gets the copy, or is a file with the same
contents, which is used. A placed document is relinked where its file
is. The status line names the first file that fails to relink, and the
other files still relink. When Find Linked Files opens from Linked
File Not Found, the missing files left without a choice, and any that
fail to relink, go back to that dialog. On the web, Find in Folder… is
disabled in the Links panel menu, and links.findFiles can't start a
search.
- links.findFiles searches on separate threads and returns at once;
links.findFiles {} reports the search, and {stop: true} stops it. It
looks for at most 1,000 linked files at once: the active document's
missing ones, or those of the objects it is given. It hashes a file
only when a link of its name saved the file's size and a hash, and
only when the file is 1 GB or smaller. It ends once every linked
file has its same file, and it searches only the folders
text.findFontFiles may search, with the same maxSeconds, depth and
count limits.
- links.relink {copy} copies the file it is given into the saved
document's folder and links images to the copy; a call that includes
a placed document fails. Each name it writes is checked against the
automation write root. text.addFontFiles and links.relink {copy}
make their copies with fileio::copy_new, which never replaces a
file. The text.addFontFiles params text and docs/mcp.md say which
names are tried for a copy.
- vectorcraft-doc adds links::hash_reader, which hashes what a reader
reads as hash_bytes hashes bytes.
- ui.findLinksInFolder is the Links panel's Find in Folder… for agents;
docs/control-protocol.md lists the dialog's fields.

A click on a Layers row runs layer.setCurrent, which makes the row's
layer current whether it is hidden or locked and keeps the selection.
Object › Arrange › Send to Current Layer then moved the selected
objects into that layer, or into a sublayer of a hidden or locked
layer, and left them selected. In that case drawing, typing and
pasting put new art on the topmost layer that is shown and unlocked,
and since #1039 they fail with "the target layer is locked or hidden"
when no layer is shown and unlocked.
Send to Current Layer now fails with that error when the current layer
is hidden or locked, or is inside a hidden or locked layer. It makes
the check that DocState::target_parent makes for new art
(Document::is_editable) before it moves anything or records an undo
step. The objects stay where they are and stay selected. The message
already has a row in the cs, de, es, fr, it, ja, pt-br, ru and uk
catalogs.

Transform Again kept only the last transform's matrix and its Copy
flag. After a Selection tool handle drag resized area type, Transform
Again scaled the type instead of resizing the type area again. After
Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect or Shear with Transform Patterns set
differently from General › Transform Pattern Tiles, Transform Again
followed the preference, and after a scale whose strokes or corners
param differed from Scale Strokes & Effects or Scale Corners, it
followed those preferences. A recorded Transform Again played back
with the preferences in effect at playback, although its step records
the strokes, corners and patterns values it used.
last_transform now keeps the options with the matrix, as
last_perspective keeps the perspective.transform params.
apply_transform stores the copy, typeAreas and patterns values a
transform command used, and strokes and corners when it scales.
commit_interaction stores the params of a drag's last object.transform
preview with the values that preview noted. object.transformAgain
passes the options to the transform it repeats, and a true or false
value given in its own params under one of those names takes
precedence. A recorded step plays back with the values it records.
Three engine tests fail without the change: Transform Again after a
handle drag on area type, Transform Again after a Move with patterns:
false while Transform Pattern Tiles is on and after a Scale with
strokes: true while Scale Strokes & Effects is off, and a recorded
Transform Again played back with Transform Pattern Tiles on.

Preferences › Guides & Grid › Gridline every and Subdivisions set the
grid of the documents that were open when either value changed, and of
no other document. A document made with File › New, or opened from a
file VectorCraft reads no grid from (SVG, PDF, EPS, .ai and the other
imported formats), got a 72 pt grid with 8 subdivisions, whatever the
preferences were set to. After a restart the saved values applied to no
document, because the desktop app restores the preferences at launch,
before any document is open.
file.new now gives a new document the preferences' grid, and
document.open, file.newFromTemplate and file.revert give it to a
document read from such a file. A native file, and the native document
that an SVG, PDF, .ai or EPS file carries, keep the grid they were
saved with. Changing either preference still sets the grid of every
open document.

With Smart Guides off, the Selection tool grabbed the selection by the
pressed spot, so Snap to Point brought the pointer onto another anchor
while the object's own anchor stayed a few pixels off. A press within
reach of an anchor now grabs the object by that anchor (Smart Guides on
or off, also without a hover event first), and the arrow turns hollow
over such an anchor while Snap to Point is on.

The follow-up #966 left room for. With automatic kerning, horizontal type
with Proportional Metrics also applies `apkn`, and vertical type applies
`vkrn` and `vapk` along with `vpal`. Manual kerning turns them off, as it
turns off `kern`.
Vertical kerning used to cancel out: both top-to-bottom shapings had
harfrust's default `vkrn`. The baseline now has neither `vpal` nor the
kerning, so their difference carries both. A third shaping (`vpal` alone)
tells which advances `vpal` itself changed, and mojikumi steps aside only
for those. Vertical type without Proportional Metrics isn't kerned, as
before.

The endpoints of a selected segment are hollow, so select.anchors and select.anchorsMany now
start from no anchors of that path instead of toggling the endpoint off.
select.anchors in toggle and add mode now starts from all of a path's
anchors when the path is selected as a whole, as select.anchorsMany does.
Before, Shift-clicking an anchor of a fully selected path left only that
anchor selected.

The colour histogram used the top 5 bits of each channel, so tones less
than 8 values apart always shared a bin and could never get their own
palette entry, however many colours were asked for. A dark, low-contrast
photo (a book-cover texture with RGB 33..66) traced to 5 colours when 12
were requested, and eight grey stripes 32..39 traced to one:
vectorcraft-cli run --in stripes-32-39.png --cmd select.all \
--cmd imageTrace.makeAndExpand \
--params '{"params":{"mode":"color","colors":8,"noise":0,"method":"overlapping"}}'
-> {"anchors":4,"colors":1,"id":4,"paths":1}
The histogram keeps its 32x32x32 bins, now fitted to each channel's range
among the opaque pixels: a channel spanning at most 32 values keeps every
value apart, a full-range channel keeps the old 5-bit bins.

A loopback regression applies a rectangle then drops its reply. It reproduces two edits before the fix and verifies one edit, an error, and successful inspection afterward.
paint.setFill {"color": {"c": 18.16, "m": 13.39, "y": 13.9, "k": 0.79}} stored
K 79 %: recolor.colors listed the colour as "cmyk 18.16 13.39 13.9 79" and the
exported PDF printed it as a dark grey. color_value chose the scale for each
component on its own (above 1: percent, else a fraction), so a percentage of
1 or less beside larger ones became a fraction.
A {c, m, y, k} object now takes percent for every component as soon as one is
above 1, and fractions only when all four are within 0..1, as before.

The branch was cut from an older main, so its commit also removed four engine tests (stroke and

window.panel.float/dock parameter docs and the un-collapse on showing a floating panel. This puts
them back and adds the Horizontal & Vertical Align Center label to the complete catalogs.

https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/add-graph-data.html
and
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/adjust-column-width.html
describe, in place of a free-text CSV field.
- The first row holds the series labels, the first column the category
labels, the other cells the values. A click picks a cell, edited in
the entry box above the sheet: Tab enters it and moves right, Enter
down (Shift: the other way), the arrow keys move between cells.
Pasting tab- or line-separated text fills cells from the picked one.
- Import Data reads a tab-separated text file (UTF-8, or UTF-16 with a
byte-order mark), at most a graph's 10,000 × 256 cells.
- Transpose row/column and Switch x/y (scatter graphs) rearrange the
sheet; Revert reads the graph's data again; Cell Style sets the
decimals shown and the columns' width. Apply redraws the graph and
leaves the window open.
- The sheet reads and writes the graph's series, categories and rows
(not CSV), so labels with commas, quotes or `|`, blank labels and
graphs without category labels come back as they were.
- Only the cells in view are drawn, read in place, so a full-size sheet
stays responsive.
Own choices, as the pages don't say: Number of Decimals only changes
what the sheet shows; Transpose is off when it would make more series
than a graph holds; the arrow keys move between cells rather than the
caret. Dragging a column's edge to resize it isn't supported yet.
Text formatted in a graph, as
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/format-the-text-in-graphs.html
describes (the whole graph with the Selection tool, or labels picked
with Group Selection, through the Character and Appearance controls),
now survives the graph being drawn again from its data.
- A graph keeps a character style per kind of label: value axis
numbers, category labels (category axis, radar spokes, pie names)
and legend labels (beside or across the top, or in wedges).
- text.setStyle, text.setFormat and fill/stroke changes on a graph's
labels apply the same change to their kind's kept style, so only what
the user changed is kept and every label of that kind follows. A
change to part of a label's text isn't kept.
- Labels are told apart by where the graph draws them, not by their
text, so a category named "2" and the value axis' 2 stay apart.
- Label spacing follows a kept size (legend rows, offsets from the axes
and wedges), so bigger labels don't overlap; at 9 pt it's as before.
Wedge labels stay white on dark wedges unless given a colour.
- A kept style from a file is held to the Character controls' limits.
Own choice, as the page doesn't say what happens on a data change:
formatting one label formats its whole kind, since the labels are drawn
again from the data. Other ways of restyling text (eyedropper,
character styles, Find Font) aren't kept yet. New fields are written
only when set; graphs without kept formatting draw the same art as
before.
Graph Type's column, bar and cluster widths from 1% to 1000%, overlapping
past 100%, the overlap order, and Draw Filled Lines, as
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/format-columns-bars-and-lines.html
describes.
- Column and cluster widths take 1–1000% and are drawn as set: past
100% columns (or clusters) overlap. The legend moves past columns
that reach beyond the plot.
- firstColumnInFront draws the first series over the others (in each
layer); firstRowInFront draws each series' first category over the
next. Across series the series order decides, so each series stays
one group for Group Selection.
- filledLines draws the connecting lines of line, scatter and radar
graphs as 3 pt bands filled with the series colour (set as a fill or,
on a thin line, a stroke) with a thin black outline. A run with no
outline to make, or a graph past 20,000 data points, keeps thin lines.
- The Graph Type query lists the overlap options only for graphs with
columns or bars, and filled lines only for graphs with lines.
Own choices, as the page doesn't say: both overlap options start off
(today's order), and the band is 3 pt wide. New fields are written only
when set. Graphs with default options draw the same art as before.
Graph Type's Add Drop Shadow, as
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/add-drop-shadows.html
describes, and Add Legend Across Top, as
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/change-the-position-of-legends.html
describes.
- dropShadow: a shadow behind each column, bar, stacked segment, line
(line, scatter and radar) and pie wedge, just behind the series of
its layer, so areas and columns drawn in front don't hide the shadows
of the layer behind them.
- legendAcrossTop: the legend's swatches and labels left to right from
the plot's left edge, wrapping at the plot's width, the last row just
above the plot and anything drawn over it (radar and stacked-pie
labels).
Own choices, as the pages don't say: a shadow is a black copy 2 pt down
and right at 35% opacity; markers, areas and legend swatches cast none,
nor do stacked segments of 0; a graph with more than 200,000 shadowed
marks draws none.
New fields are written only when set. Graphs with default options draw
the same art as before.
Graph Data's Transpose row/column and Switch x/y, as
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/add-graph-data.html
describes, a `|` in a label as a line break, as
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/add-graph-labels-and-data-sets.html
describes, and the pie graph options of
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/format-pie-graphs.html
- graph.setData {transpose: true} swaps rows and columns (after any new
data in the same call); a graph with more categories than a graph can
have series (256) is refused rather than cut. {switchXY: true} swaps
each scatter series' y and x columns, labels included.
- A `|` in a category or series label starts a new line: legend rows
grow with their lines, labels beside an axis or in a wedge centre
theirs. A label of only `|` is blank.
- Pie graphs: pieLegend none|standard|wedges (Legends in Wedges puts the
series labels inside their wedges, in white on dark wedges, drawn over
the pies), piePosition ratio|even|stacked and pieSort all|first|none,
as dropdowns in the Graph Type dialog, which lists them for pie graphs
only.
Own choices, as the page doesn't say: Position and Sort keep today's
drawing by default (Even, None); Ratio sizes pies by area, the biggest
keeping the full size; Stacked pies share a centre, each drawn as the
ring outside the next smaller one so none covers another, with their
names over them.
New fields are written only when set. Graphs with default options draw
the same art as before.
The Graph Design dialog lists the designs with a preview of the
selected one and has New Design, Rename, Delete Design, Paste Design
and Select Unused, as the Graph Design dialog of
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/reuse-graph-designs.html
works; the Marker dialog lists the designs.
graph.design takes them as params:
- new: name or true (the selected art, named "New Design", numbered
when that's taken);
- rename + to: the graphs drawing the design follow it to its new name;
- delete: a name or a list of names;
- paste: as before;
- no params or selectUnused: the designs, and those no graph draws with.
The engine's drawing is unchanged.
Graph designs are named art a graph draws in place of its default
marks. Marker designs follow
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/apply-marker-designs-to-graphs.html
and the Graph Design dialog
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/reuse-graph-designs.html
- graph.design saves the selected art as a named design (Save Design),
pastes a copy of a design into the document, selected, to edit and
save again (Paste Design), and deletes one; graphs drawing a deleted
design go back to their default marks.
- graph.marker draws the data points and legend swatches of the series
picked with Group Selection (or listed, or every series) with a
design: its backmost object is scaled to fill the default marker's
square, strokes, effects and pattern tiles scaling with it. Line,
scatter and radar series; null goes back to the default square.
- Object › Graph › Design… and Marker… open dialogs listing the
document's designs.
Own choices, as the pages don't say: the backmost object's bounds, not
only a rectangle's, set the size (a single object uses its own bounds);
Delete Design manages the list; a design keeps its own paint, so
painting a series doesn't recolour it.
Designs are stored in a new `graphDesigns` list and series designs in
`seriesMarkers`, written only when present. A graph saved as a design is
kept as the plain art it draws. A design holds at most 2,000 objects, a
document 1,000 designs, and a graph whose designs would draw more than
200,000 objects draws default squares; a file's designs are tidied the
same way on open. Global swatch edits, image relinking and placed
documents see design art like symbol art. Graphs without marker designs
draw the same art as before.
These strings reach tl!/tr at render time but had no Czech entry; several are passed through variables or helpers, so the literal-based coverage test does not see them.

The key "Add" is shared by Effect > Pathfinder > Add (PathfinderOp::Unite),
the File Info button and a label in the raster effects dialog. One plain row
cannot fit all three: "Přidat" is right for the button, but the Pathfinder
effect unites shapes, so it reads "Sjednotit".
- cs.tsv: `@id pathfinder.add` = "Sjednotit"; the plain "Add" row stays
"Přidat".
- menus.rs: Effect menu items all run effect.apply / effect.dialog, so the
command id cannot tell them apart. effect_item_label() looks the effect's
own id up first (an @id row), and "Last Effect: {name}" does the same.
- appearance.rs: the Appearance panel's effect labels use the same lookup.
- i18n/tests.rs: an @id row may now name an effect id as well as a command
id; czech_reads_as_czech pins Add and pathfinder.add.
No other catalog has an @id row, so their behaviour is unchanged.

On Windows the Hand tool, Space and the Zoom tool showed the wrong
cursors: winit maps egui's Grab and Grabbing to the four-headed move
cursor (IDC_SIZEALL) and has nothing for ZoomIn/ZoomOut, so the hand
appeared as arrows and the magnifier not at all. Those four were the
only tool cursors left to the system.
They are now vector glyphs like the others (an open and a closed hand,
a magnifier with a plus or a minus), shown as OS cursors on the desktop
and painted on the web, and the canvas routes the Space, Hand and Zoom
states through the same path as the tool cursors.
Tests: the glyphs rasterize at every scale with the others; only the
busy states stay system cursors.

Clicking an anchor of a path selected whole (or one of several selected
anchors) with the Direct Selection tool left the selection as it was,
so the clicked anchor never became the selected one and Live Corners
and the anchor controls kept acting on every corner. A plain click now
selects that anchor alone, as the public documentation describes (a
click selects the anchor point, Shift-click adds others):
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/modify-paths/select-anchor-points-in-paths.html
The press keeps the selection so a drag still moves every selected
anchor with the one held; only the release without a drag narrows it.
Shift still toggles, Alt still picks the whole path, and an anchor that
wasn't selected is still selected on the press.
Test: direct::tests::a_click_on_a_selected_anchor_selects_it_alone.

`enveloped_type_exports_distorted_in_every_format` exports each format
twice and compares the two files without the lines that contain
`CreationDate` or `ModDate`. Two other lines of the PDF also change
with the time it was written. The XMP packet is one line that holds
`xmp:CreateDate`, `xmp:ModifyDate` and the file ID, and the trailer
holds the file ID as `/ID`. The file ID is a hash that krilla computes
over the bytes written before it, which include the dates. When the
two PDF exports were written in different seconds, these two lines
differed, and the test failed at "pdf exports are repeatable".
The comparison now also drops the lines that contain `xmp:CreateDate`,
`xmp:ModifyDate` or `/ID[`. A new check writes the PDF that
`document.export` writes, with its creation time set to Unix seconds 0
and then 1, and asserts that the comparison's filter leaves the two
files equal.
The engine's guard turns a panic inside a command into
EngineError::Internal and rolls the document back. The panic checks in
command_sweep.rs counted that error like any other error. They include
probe, which the empty-params, junk-params and structured-junk sweeps
call. The tests in import_fuzz.rs that open, place or paste a file
through a command counted it the same way. None of them reported the
panic.
Each of these checks now passes the command's result through no_panic,
which the library file tests in import_fuzz.rs already use, and the
change adds a copy of it to command_sweep.rs. A case whose command
panics now fails. The panic from no_panic reads "<command> panicked:
<message>", and the checks that print a panic's message show it. Each
check handles any other error as before.
The command palette listed select.key as Set Key Object. A pick runs
the command without an id, which cancels the key object (#541).
select.key is now labeled Cancel Key Object, the label of the Align
panel menu item that also cancels the key object. The palette lists
it once, and engine.commands reports the new label. The params text
and docs/mcp.md say that select.key {id} makes id the key object, and
that select.key {}, or an id that names no selected object, cancels
it. The Set Key Object rows are removed from the 10 catalogs that
had one.
Docs: the select.key params text, docs/mcp.md,
docs/target-app-parity.md.

Agents could set and clear the key object but not read it:
document.inspect, the control channel's ui.pointer reply and the
headless pointer_gesture reply left it out, and select.key returned
null. select.key with an id that was not selected, or with a value
that is not an id, such as "x", cleared the key without an error. A
compound-path member or an object inside a selected group could become
the key.
select.key now checks its id as select.set, select.add and
select.toggle do (#784). It returns an error for an id that is not a
selected top-level object and leaves the key as it was. Layers,
compound-path members and objects inside another selected object are
not top-level objects. select.key {id: null} used to clear the key and
is now an error; select.key {} still clears it. select.key returns
{key}, and document.inspect and both pointer replies include the key
object as "key".
In isolation mode a Selection-tool click can pick an object that
select.key does not accept as the key: a sublayer inside an isolated
layer, a member inside an isolated compound path, or an object in an
isolated group that is also selected. The tool no longer sends
select.key {id} for such an object. When the object is already the
key, the tool still sends select.key {}, which clears the key.
A recorded action whose select.key step names an object that is not a
selected top-level object when the action plays now fails and is
rolled back, as an action with a select.set step naming a deleted
object has failed since #784.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/control-protocol.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
With two or more objects selected and no key object, a click on Align
to Key Object in the Align panel stored Key as the Align To choice and
set no key. The align buttons of the Align panel, the Control bar and
the Properties panel then ran object.align with to: "key", which fails
with "no key object". Distribute Spacing sent the panel's spacing
value and kept the leftmost or top object in place. The stored Key
stayed until Align to Selection, Align to Artboard or Cancel Key
Object was chosen.
The button now runs select.key on the topmost selected object, the
last in paint order, whatever order the objects were selected in, and
the canvas draws that object with the key-object outline. The align
buttons in all three places and Distribute Spacing then use that key,
and Cancel Key Object clears it. A key that is already set stays the
key. With fewer than two objects selected the button is disabled, as
the Distribute buttons are. The button stores no choice, so once the
key is cleared by Cancel Key Object, by a click on the key object or
by another selection, Align To shows the stored Selection or Artboard
choice again. Cancel Key Object no longer sets that choice to
Selection.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
Since #1035 moved linesweeper to 0.5, the sweep can cut the paths
through one crossing at points more than its tolerance (eps) apart.
The planar map merged a point only into a vertex within eps of it, so
the two passes of an open path could end on two different vertices,
and it kept them as two edges with different ends. Past the crossing,
shape_builder then returned a line's loose end as one piece that runs
out to the line's end and back, and an extra piece of the line it
crosses, about 1.4e-6 long. In live_paint, the face around the loose
end ran out along it and back, and FaceMerger::merge of the faces
returned a second subpath along it. pieces_cut_out_of_their_inputs
fails on main for such an input.
The map now joins the ends of pieces whose middles and ends lie within
16 eps of each other. The two passes then share their ends and become
one edge. The new test is the failing input proptest saved for the
property. Lines that slope close to -1/32 in the document are nearly
level in the sweep's frame, and the change does not cover all of them.
artboard.move with moveArt (the Artboard tool's drag of one artboard or
several and, with copy, its Alt-drag), artboard.duplicate with art and
artboard.rearrange with moveArtwork moved the art, or its copies,
without their pattern tiles, whatever General › Transform Pattern Tiles
was set to. They now follow the preference as the transforms and
artboard.setProps do: with it on, pattern fills and strokes move with
the art. Each also takes a `patterns` param for one call. When the art
uses a pattern, the journal records the choice, and a recorded action
plays back with it.

These commands edited the document even when nothing changed, so the
call recorded an undo step, emptied Redo and marked the document
modified:
- All Artwork Above and Other Layers (Object › Lock and
Object › Hide) with nothing to lock or hide: no object above the
selection, no other layer, or every one already locked (Lock) or
hidden (Hide).
- Transform Each with no object to transform, and without Copy when
both scales are 100% and there is no move, rotation or reflection.
- Rearrange All Artboards when no artboard moves, or with no artboard.
- stroke.widthPoint.set and stroke.widthPoint.copy when the profile
comes out as it was, and stroke.widthProfile.set with the profile the
strokes have already.
- Liquify when the stroke reshapes no path, and Puppet Warp given the
pins the art holds already (rest: true), or without rest when every
pin stays where it is and turns the art by 0° or is free.
- Define Perspective Grid with the grid the document has, Attach to
Active Plane with no object, Release with Perspective on art that is
not in perspective, Move Plane to where the plane is, without copies,
and Move Plane to Match Object when the plane is there and active
already.
- Move, Nudge and Transform in Perspective without Copy when no object
moves (1e-9 pt or less along the plane or its normal, Snap to Grid
included, or the identity), and Transform Again after one.
These commands now return without editing the document. The replies
have the same form as before. Transform Each with Copy and no object
to transform no longer empties the selection. Puppet Warp without rest,
with every pin where it is and turning the art by 0° or free, no longer
turns a live shape into a plain path. All Artwork Above still deselects
selected objects that are hidden or locked. Width Point counts a change
of 1e-9 or less in a point's place or width factor (its width over half
the stroke weight) as none. OK in Width Point Edit with the widths it
shows, with or without Adjust Adjoining Width Points, records no undo
step. After a move in perspective that moved nothing, Transform Again
repeats the identity.
One line in the evidence list of docs/target-app-parity.md names the
commands.
Every edit of an object copied its whole appearance (its fills, strokes and effects, about
540 bytes for a basic object) into the new node, though a move leaves it as it is. Over 45
whole-selection moves of 10,000 paths, undo history grew by 589 MB; now 349 MB (41 % less), and
a nudge or a drag of the selection takes 12 ms instead of 15.
- Node::appearance is a vectorcraft_doc::Shared<Appearance>: copy-on-write. A clone shares it,
and the first change through DerefMut copies it (Arc::make_mut). Reads, writes, equality (also
against a plain Appearance) and the saved form are those of the Appearance itself, so call
sites read and change it as before. Sites that build or assign a whole appearance add .into(),
and the few that need a plain copy take (*n.appearance).clone().
- Node::transform changes the appearance only when it has gradients to transform, and pattern
paints are transformed only when there are some: a move no longer copies an appearance it
doesn't change.
The workspace suite (5,301 tests) and clippy pass with the change; the doc and engine suites
pass again after the transform guard.

At 50,000 paths unless noted, against main:
- Pathfinder Outline (300 paths): 145 → 7.5 ms. Each segment was tested against every junction
of the arrangement, and each chain against every chain kept so far. Now a segment tests only
the junctions inside its control box (junctions are sorted by x; a point within reach of a
curve is within reach of that box), with the same nearest-point test. Coincident chains are
found through a grid on their midpoints, taking the first match in the same order a scan does.
- export SVG: 267 → 176 ms. Path data is written straight into one string (`push_num`, the
same digits and trimming as `fmt_num`) instead of a string per number, point and segment.
- open .vectorcraft: 239 → 195 ms. The JSON was parsed once only to find where it ends:
- A file with no NUL has no data after it.
- Otherwise the marker (which holds the first NUL, as JSON can't) is taken when it directly
follows the JSON's last byte, as the writer puts it.
- Anything else takes the old parse.
`perf --deep` prints output hashes of an SVG export and a save → open → save round trip; main
and this branch print the same ones. pathfinder_pinned (Outline included) passes, and so do the
pathops, format and svg suites (345 tests).

Trim, Merge and Crop walk the arrangement once per input shape, and every walk tested each edge
side with a coverage mask built from a winding vector with one slot per input. On 300 paths,
against main:
- Trim: 362 → 31 ms
- Merge: 366 → 31 ms
- Crop: 303 → 28 ms
- Unite, Intersect, Exclude, Minus Front and Minus Back: unchanged or a little faster
- Multi, the arrangement's winding, keeps only the non-zero windings as sorted (input, winding)
pairs, added in place. A face is covered by a few inputs, so a test reads a few entries
instead of one per input. The winding arithmetic is unchanged.
- Arrangement::covered lists the inputs that cover a face (the true entries of its coverage
mask). Trim, Merge, Crop, Minus Front, Minus Back, Intersect and Exclude test that list; each
test's old mask form is in a comment beside it. mask() still builds the same mask for the rest.
pathfinder_pinned hashes the output of all ten operations on 2, 5, 12 and 30 overlapping
ellipses, rectangles and stars (even-odd and non-zero, shared keys for Merge). The 40 hashes were
computed with main's dense windings, and the new code gives every one of them. A wrong Crop test
fails it. The pathops suite (103 tests) passes.

The previous commit rebuilt the cache as soon as a cached path went stale, and built it as one
Vec path per node, hashed with SipHash. An edit that removes many objects one by one
(Pathfinder Unite of 1,000 paths) went stale on every removal, and Unite took 105 ms instead of
42 ms.
- The cache is now one flat table of (parent entry, index among siblings) with a one-multiply
id hasher, so a rebuild is about one walk and allocates nothing per node.
- A stale path walks, as an id the cache doesn't have does, and rebuilds only after a few.
Either way a lookup stays within a small factor of a walk.
At 1,000 paths, Unite takes 45 ms against main's 42. At 100,000 paths the gains of the cache hold:
hit test 1.7 → 0.36 ms, handle drag 6.5 → 2.7 ms per move. The cached-lookup tests pass unchanged.

A lookup by id walked the tree, so every edit, click and pointer move of a single object cost
time in proportion to the whole document. At 100,000 paths:
- hit test, per click: 1.85 → 0.35 ms
- handle drag, 5,000-anchor path, per move: 6.5 → 2.6 ms
- segment drag, per move: 5.8 → 2.7 ms
Document keeps every node's index path in a cache (id_index, never saved). The tree is edited
through public fields in many places, so the cache isn't kept in step with it; it is checked
instead. A cached path is used only while the node at that path still has the id, a check as deep
as the tree. A path that doesn't check out rebuilds the cache, and an id it doesn't have walks,
as before. A rebuild costs a few walks, so it happens only after a few such misses, which keeps
any edit pattern within a small factor of the walk. Ids that appear more than once are never
cached, so they keep their first place in tree order. index_paths uses the cache for small
batches and one walk for large ones.
The one case that answers differently from a walk: a second node with an existing id put in the
tree after the cache was built, earlier in tree order. The lookup then returns the original node,
also one with that id. The app doesn't make such nodes; damaged files with duplicates are cached
afresh when opened.
cached_lookups_follow_any_edit_of_the_tree checks index_path, node and index_paths against a
walk after inserting at the front, removing, swapping, moving between layers, deleting a layer,
and in a clone sharing the cache. Using cached paths without the check fails it. The doc and
engine suites (2,002 tests) pass.

The automatic rasterizer thread count was one per core up to 4. On a 10-core Apple M2 Pro, 8
workers are faster (9 are slower again), and vello_cpu draws the same pixels with any number:
- fit page, 50,000 paths: 66.7 → 56.6 ms; after a pan 66.4 → 51.2 ms
- 400 % zoom, 50,000 paths: 17.8 → 15.7 ms (back under its 16 ms budget)
- fit page, 100,000 paths: 137 → 105 ms; 400 % zoom 33.0 → 25.8 ms
Machines with 5 cores or fewer keep their count, and Preferences → Performance and
VECTORCRAFT_RENDER_THREADS still override it. pixels_do_not_depend_on_the_thread_count renders
a page of live effects and 400 overlapping translucent objects with 0, 1, 4 and 8 workers and

A node with live geometry effects (Offset Path, Outline Stroke, Warp, Transform, Roughen…) had
them computed again on every frame: Offset Path's curve offsetting and boolean sweep for every
object, every time the canvas redrew. Rendering 2,000 paths that each have Offset Path, warm:
175 → 11.8 ms.
The renderer keeps each node's effected geometry, and each appearance item's own geometry
effects on it, keyed by the node's Arc identity like its other per-node caches. The entry keeps
the Arc alive, so a hit is exact and an edited object (a new node) gets new geometry. Only the
node draw_arc is drawing uses the cache: its path comes from the node alone, so its effects give
the same result every frame. Entries not drawn for three frames are swept like the rest.
cached_effect_geometry_draws_the_same_pixels renders a page of Offset Path, Roughen + Drop
Shadow, Warp + Outline Stroke and Transform objects (with item-level Offset Path) cold, warm,
after a pan and with a fresh renderer, and gets the same pixels each time; after an edit, the
warm renderer draws what a fresh one does. Keying the cache by node id instead of identity fails
it. The render suite (216 tests, golden images included) passes unchanged.

Every lookup by id walked the whole tree, and the edit path did one per selected id, so editing
a selection of n objects cost O(n²). Measured with the new `perf --deep` rows at 25,000 paths:
- Select All: 458 → 3.5 ms
- nudge the selection: 3,517 → 34 ms
- drag it with the Selection tool, per pointer move: 3,413 → 35 ms
- undo / redo: 407 → 3.1 ms
- vectorcraft_doc: Document::index_paths (every id's index path, in one walk; the first in tree
order for a duplicated id, as index_path), node_at, node_mut_at (copy-on-write, as node_mut)
and ancestry_at.
- apply_transform, roots_of, transform_patterns, doc_sane, Selection::prune and
Document::paint_order look their ids up with one walk instead of one each.
- Selection::set dedups with a hash set instead of Vec::contains per id.
- vectorcraft-cli perf --deep: tracked rows for editing a whole selection (select, nudge, drag,
undo, redo), live effects, every Pathfinder operation, typing in a long story, and memory.
tests_lookups checks the batched lookups against the one-id ones on nested trees with missing and
duplicated ids; storing the last duplicate instead of the first fails it. The doc and engine
suites (2,000 tests) pass unchanged.

On a hybrid laptop whose Wayland compositor runs on the discrete GPU
(Hyprland with AQ_DRM_DEVICES naming the NVIDIA card first), the built-in
panel still hangs off the integrated GPU, so the display rule put it first,
and the window stayed empty: the compositor took the frames and showed
nothing, with no error, so neither the restart on a failed adapter (#502)
nor the first-frame watch (#964) noticed.
Which GPU drives a display stands in for which GPU the compositor draws
with. Under Wayland the compositor says so itself: the main_device of its
linux-dmabuf feedback (version 4), the device it imports client buffers on,
which Mesa's Vulkan device-select layer reads for the same purpose.
compositor_gpu.rs asks for it on a short-lived connection, maps the dev_t
to PCI ids through /sys/dev/char, and under Automatic adapter_order ranks
that adapter ahead of the display GPUs. No answer (X11, an older compositor,
a GPU no adapter matches) leaves the existing rules in charge; a user's own
choice, WGPU_ADAPTER_NAME and the restart skip list still come first.
wayland-client and wayland-protocols are already in the tree through winit;
they become direct Linux-only dependencies.
Adds the Character panel menu's Digits option (with the Middle Eastern /
Indic options, beside Paragraph Direction in the Paragraph panel) as a
character attribute: CharStyle::digits, saved only when set, with
text.setFormat {digits} and text.setRangeStyle {id, start, end, digits}
("default" | "arabic" | "hindi" | "farsi"; a bad value is an error).
Shaping draws every digit of the Western, Arabic-Indic (U+0660–U+0669)
and Eastern Arabic-Indic (U+06F0–U+06F9) sets in the chosen system,
whatever was typed, before font fallback, so a font without the
Arabic-Indic digits gets a fallback for them. The text, its clusters,
the caret, selection and search stay as typed, as with All Caps; SVG
export writes the digits as drawn.
Catalog rows for Digits, Arabic, Hindi and Farsi in the ten translated
languages. Docs: docs/mcp.md (Digits), type-parity.md (digit types
done; Character Direction, kashidas, composers and the split caret
still missing), target-app-parity.md and gaps.md.
Behaviour from the public documentation (a character-level option with
the values Arabic, Hindi and Farsi in the Character panel menu):
https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/desktop/language-and-proofing/arabic-and-hebrew/choose-digit-types.html
Tests: doc (the mapping and serialization), text (glyphs of "page 3" in
Hindi/Farsi equal the typed Arabic-Indic digits' on the typed clusters;
skips without a font covering the three sets), engine (setFormat,
setRangeStyle, undo, error), svg (digits written as drawn), ui-egui
(the menu shows with the Indic options).

language (language_and_appearance_are_in_the_app_menu), so "English" stays

Changes from an independent review pass over the Czech catalog. Short keys
shared between a menu and a dialog got the wording that fits both places
(All = "Vše", Add = "Přidat", Type: = "Typ:", Center = "Střed", Edge =
"Okraj", Advanced = "Rozšířené"); sentences that built a plural from a bare
count now read "Počet ...: {count}"; "Offset Path" is "Odsadit cestu", the
New... button is named consistently in the preset hints, "resolve" is not
translated as "rozlišit", and the rendering intent is "Záměr vykreslení".
Strings that need a context in the code to be right everywhere (Scale as a
dialog title, Random/Uniform as check boxes, Subset fonts below) are left as
they are.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Object › Expand, Expand Appearance and the rest of the catalog say
"Rozložit"; three older rows said "rozšířit" (widen) for the same
command: Expand Shaper Group and the two Revolve notes about expanding.

Czech is in COMPLETE_MESSAGES, so a new status or error message needs a
cs.tsv row too. czech_reads_as_czech checks the vocabulary (Nástroj
Pracovní plocha, Vzorník, Operace s cestami, Tah, Výplň), the three
plural forms of a layer count, the axis context and a nested message;
czech_plurals_have_three_forms now also runs every @plural row through
trn for one, few and other counts.

The Czech catalog covered every menu label (726 rows); panels, dialogs,
tooltips and status messages fell back to English. It now has a row for
every key of the complete catalogs: every menu string and tl! literal,
the 13 plurals in one/few/other form, the axis/effect/lighting/theme
contexts and every @msg status and error message (3,404 rows added,
4,130 in all). The existing rows are kept as they were; the header says
how the new ones were written and lists the vocabulary.
With the catalog complete, Czech sets complete_menus, so the coverage
tests now hold it to every menu string and tl! literal.

The leading of a text object made from the file's text document was the
distance between the first two lines of the file's own layout. Those lines
are where the paragraph spacing has put them, and the text object applies
that spacing again, so paragraphs with a space after (or before) came in with
their lines too close (negative space) or too far apart (positive).
The leading is now that distance less the space after the paragraph before
and the space before the paragraph after; two lines of one paragraph have
none between them.
Tests on synthetic stories: negative and positive spacing, a frame scale,
line breaks inside a paragraph, a single line.

The private data a .ai file opens with names fonts by PostScript name, and
the importer split the name at its first hyphen: rounded-x-mplus-1c-black
became the family "rounded", style "x-mplus-1c-black", which no font has,
so the type fell back to Source Sans 3 although Rounded-X M+ 1c is
installed. An installed or bundled face of that exact PostScript name now
gives its own family and style; other names split as before.

Read through its editing data, a .ai put the copies of area type and type
on a path on top of their original: the text document's frame of a copied
object keeps the original's path (with a matrix of its own that isn't
understood yet). The object's `/Art` path, which the layers' data keeps
for each text object, is where the file places it: area type and type on
a path now take it as their frame or path, by story and frame.
On a file of cards made by copying one, the type laid out from the text
document now lands on each card (515 text objects where its PDF part has
them, against 467, many on one card, before).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
With Smart Guides on, a selection moved by the Selection tool only lined
its bounds up with the other art: grabbed by an anchor and dropped near
another object's anchor, it could stop a fraction of a point beside it
where an edge lined up instead. When the grabbed point comes within the
snapping tolerance of an anchor or a centre, it now lands on it, as
Smart Guides' anchor snapping does.
With anchor points selected by Direct Selection, the Align buttons moved
the whole path, so two points couldn't be lined up. As in Illustrator,
they now align the selected points: to the points' own bounds (Align To
Selection) or to the artboard. A path selected whole still aligns as an
object.
wgpu's default DX12 shader compiler loads whichever dxcompiler.dll the
DLL search path finds first; VectorCraft ships none, so it was another
program's, and one without its dxil.dll warns that the DXIL is unsigned.
wgpu takes the warning for a compile error, the device is lost before
the first frame, and the app falls back to OpenGL. FXC (d3dcompiler_47,
part of Windows) compiles everything the window needs, as LightCraft
does since its #484; WGPU_DX12_COMPILER still picks another.
tests_place::a_file_placed_while_idle_follows_its_changes failed at
random in CI (twice on 2026-10-11): while the link scan ran on its
worker thread, the test's clock moved on by whole simulated seconds per
5 ms of real time, so on a busy machine the 10 simulated seconds ran out
before the scan had read the changed file. The clock now waits for the
scan (up to 20 real seconds).
Make Compound Path kept each path's direction under the non-zero fill
rule, so a shape drawn inside or across another, running the same way,
left the overlap filled instead of making a hole. The paths in front of
the backmost one now run against it, so where they overlap it they cut
holes, as users expect from a compound path.
Releases pinned craft-fonts at its first commit, with the Japanese fonts
only. The pin moves to its current main, as PdfCraft, LightCraft and
WordCraft have moved theirs: desktop builds embed Noto Sans Thai, Noto
Sans Arabic and Noto Sans CJK SC too (the web build still embeds only
the UI font and fetches Thai and Arabic beside the wasm). Packages
already copy every embedded font's licence.
The Thai loanword test no longer assumes the bundled fonts' widths: it
checks that no line ends inside โปรแกรม, whichever Thai font sets it.

Ctrl/Alt+arrows and double-click treated a run of Thai (Lao, Khmer,
Myanmar) without spaces as one word, and stopped at a word's tone and
vowel marks, which didn't count as part of a word. They now stop at the
word boundaries the line segmenter finds in those scripts (shared with
line breaking, so no more data ships), and combining marks count as
part of a word, also for combining accents in other scripts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The web build has no installed fonts, so Thai there showed as empty
boxes. With a craft-fonts checkout that has Noto Sans Thai, its Thai
font joins the document font database after the Arabic ones (the
fallback for Thai where no Thai font is installed) and the web build
fetches it before the app starts, as it does Noto Sans Arabic.

The font menu's script filter offered Japanese and Latin only, so Thai
fonts had to be found by name among every installed family. It now has
Thai too: the families whose character map has Thai. Latin lists the
families with neither Japanese nor Thai.

These scripts don't separate words with spaces, and lines only broke at
spaces, hyphens and CJK characters, so a Thai paragraph in area type ran
on to the next space (or was cut wherever it overflowed). Each
paragraph's glyphs now carry the word ends ICU4X's line segmenter finds
in text of those scripts (its dictionaries on the desktop, its far
smaller LSTM models on the web), and a line may break after them as
after a space. Other text keeps its own breaks, and clusters (a
consonant with its vowel and tone marks) still never split.

The Type tool's Left and Right arrows and Delete moved one code point at
a time, so the caret could stop between a Thai consonant and its vowel
or tone marks (or inside an accented letter or emoji sequence), where
typing or deleting splits the cluster. They now step over extended
grapheme clusters. Backspace still takes back one character at a time,
as Thai typists expect for a mistyped tone mark.

Thai typed in a font without Thai glyphs (Source Sans 3, a Latin font)
took the first loaded face that had them, or the first installed file
that did, in path order: on one Windows machine a display face (Kanit)
rather than Leelawadee UI. Characters of Thai, Lao, Khmer and Myanmar
now try fonts made for their script first, installed ones loaded on
demand (Leelawadee UI, Tahoma, Thonburi, Sukhumvit Set, Noto Sans Thai,
the TLWG fonts for Thai), then the fallback as before. Latin beside
them keeps the font chosen.

An agent driving VectorCraft over the confined MCP server had no way to
see which files it was given, so it guessed names. `file.list {path}`
lists a folder's files (with their sizes) and folders by name, held to
the automation read root like every read; links are listed as links and
not followed. At most 5000 entries, with `truncated` saying when there
were more.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
An agent's build over MCP left one undo step per batch step (about 280
for one job). `command_batch` takes `atomic: true` (and an optional
`label` naming the step) to make the whole batch one undo step. It runs
the batch in an undo group, opened and closed by the new commands
`edit.undoGroup.begin {label?}` and `edit.undoGroup.end {cancel?}`, so
every backend (headless or the connected app) supports it.

The report module moves to cmd/rasterfx/report.rs (the crate's foo.rs +
foo/ layout instead of #[path]). An object is the document's when its id
is below the document's next id, so building the report no longer walks
the whole document (and its symbols and patterns) on every PDF, SVG,
print and clipboard export. The parity docs say what changed in the
status line and one evidence bullet instead of a separate paragraph.

The 64 million pixel cap can silently lower raster-effect resolution. Report each original object's id and name with requested and achieved ppi through the existing export warnings, retaining the lowest resolution across its images.
Keep the cap and rendering unchanged, cover capped and uncapped exports, and record the evidence without changing parity scores.

the outlineText flag; reword the new-art sentence and point to paint.default.

Omitted paint fields keep the current appearance, so agents can get a black outline when they only set a fill. Document the initial white fill and 1 pt black stroke and recommend explicit paint for outline-free art.
Clarify SVG/SVGZ outlineText versus PDF options.advanced.outlineText and PDF's live-text default, noting DXF also accepts the top-level flag. Descriptions and documentation only; drawing and export behavior are unchanged.
render_preview only rendered the first artboard, so an agent couldn't
look at pages 2 and on of a multi-artboard document without switching
to screenshot. It now takes an optional 0-based `artboard` (as
screenshot does) and refuses an index the document doesn't have.

A path of several subpaths (an SVG `d` with several `M`s, PDF paths, a
path drawn in one go over MCP) is a compound path in Illustrator, and
Object › Compound Path › Release splits it into separate paths. Here
Release only acted on compound path objects, so such a path couldn't be
broken apart. Release now gives each subpath a path of its own, with the
path's paint, in stacking order; the first keeps the path's id. One undo
step, as before.

Hide Others, Lock Others and Outline Others left the layer they keep as
it was, so Alt-clicking the eye of a hidden layer hid everything and
Alt-clicking a locked layer's lock left it locked. As Illustrator's
Layers panel does, the layer clicked now shows (unlocks, previews) while
the others hide (lock, outline), in the same undo step.

The Anchor Point tool drags any segment of a selected blend's spine into
a curve, straight ones too, and Direct Selection reshapes a curved spine
segment as it does a path's (a straight one it leaves, as on paths). Both

with the same math as `path.reshapeSegment`, now shared as
`SubPath::bend_segment`.

did for mesh envelopes.

A marquee drawn wholly inside a filled shape counted as touching it, so
a marquee over a background (the usual way to pick small objects off it

crossing its edges.

Object › Path › Offset Path (and `ui.menuDialog` for it) opens on the

Effect › Distort & Transform › Zig Zag… lays out its options the way

A corner is now any anchor that isn't smooth where two sides meet at an
angle, straight or curved, as in Illustrator. The cut meets each side at
its setback measured along the curve, leaves both sides along their
tangents there, and each curved side is trimmed to what the cuts at its
ends leave of it. The largest radius is still the one taking the cut
halfway along the shorter side, measured along the curve. Corners
between straight sides draw exactly as before.

A property test of the importers (import_fuzz) crashed CI with
STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN: a shape with coordinates in the 1e20s from a
mutated file made vello_cpu either panic in flatten_simd on a rayon
worker (rayon then aborts the process, so the engine's panic guard never
sees it) or ask for a 132 GB allocation, which aborts too. A malformed
file could end the app and lose the user's work.
draw_shape now leaves a shape undrawn when its control points, through
the view, aren't finite or reach past 1e10 pixels, or a visible stroke
is that wide (MAX_DEVICE). A document's art stays within 4 million
points, 2.6e9 pixels at the closest zoom, and vello was checked safe
with 90,000 random shapes within 1e9 pixels and 30,000 within 1e12.

The Artboard tool and the Artboards panel only ever had one artboard
selected, so Shift-clicking another didn't add it. As in Illustrator:
- Artboard tool: Shift-click adds an artboard to the selection (it
becomes active) or takes one out; a plain click on a selected one keeps
the selection, so a drag moves them all (Alt copies them all, the
copies becoming the selection), and Delete removes them all, one
artboard always staying. The other selected artboards show dashed
bounds; `selected` is a tool option.
- Artboards panel: with the Artboard tool, Shift- or Ctrl/Cmd-click on a
row adds or removes it, every selected row is highlighted, and Delete
Artboard removes them all.
- `artboard.move` and `artboard.delete` take `indices` besides `index`:
several artboards in one undo step, each with its art (an object moved
once where artboards overlap).

Mask art that is all visibility:hidden imports as nothing, and opacity_mask
then returned no mask: the object was drawn whole. An empty mask is what the
file means (black all over); the renderer and the PDF and SVG exports already
draw empty mask art by its clip and invert options.
The canvas built its peniko gradients premultiplied (peniko's default), while
Gradient::sample, the PDF export (shading plus SMask) and SVG viewers blend
colour and opacity separately: a transparent white stop into black drew grey
127 halfway instead of 191. Opaque gradients are unchanged.

ask_update_changed (dialogs/missing_links.rs) is called only from
tick_link_updates, and is_c_locale (i18n/mod.rs) is called only from

Each function now has the same #[cfg(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))]
attribute as its caller. Native builds compile both functions as
before.
Remove Noise merged each small component into its most common neighbour
in one pass. When a speck was merged into a small region that was itself
merged away later, the region's flood fill skipped the speck's pixels
(already seen), so they stayed behind as a new island of the region's old
label. Higher Noise values merge more regions, so they left more such
islands: on noisy images the path count rose with Noise (70 -> 126 -> 206
paths from Noise 50 to 200 on one test image). denoise now repeats its pass
until one changes nothing; each merge joins two components, so it ends
(with a cap of 64 passes as a backstop). Labels shorter than w x h are left
alone instead of indexed past their end.
Tests: the minimal one-row case, a property test on random blocky noise
(no mergeable region under the minimum is left, and a larger minimum never
leaves more regions), and two noisy images whose path count must not rise
with Noise (both fail without the fix).

Icons are drawn in the theme's colour. The Selection tool's filled arrow

The ••• button at the bottom of the toolbar no longer opens All Tools as a
centred dialog. It opens the All Tools drawer beside the toolbar, next to the
button. Escape or a click outside closes it; a click in the toolbar doesn't.
Tools that are already in the toolbar show dimmed in the drawer.
While the drawer is open the toolbar can be edited, as the public
documentation describes:
- drag a tool from the drawer onto a toolbar button's top or bottom edge
(left or right edge in two columns) to put it in its own slot there;
- drag it onto a button's middle to add it to that button's group;
- drag a toolbar button into the drawer to take its tool out;
- drag a toolbar button to another place in the toolbar to move its tool.
A line or outline shows where the tool will go, and the dragged tool follows
the pointer. While the drawer is closed the toolbar can't be edited.
The Basic and Advanced toolbars each keep their own edits in
UiState::toolbar_edits, which is saved with the preferences. It is serde
default, so older preferences still load, and a hand-edited file is cleaned
up when it loads. An edit that brings back the default toolbar clears the
saved edits. New UI commands toolbar.addTool {tool, slot?, place?},
toolbar.removeTool {tool, group?}, toolbar.reset and
window.editToolbar {open?} let MCP and the control channel make the same
edits. The drawer also has a Reset button.
The drawer moved from dialogs/all_tools.rs into the new edit_toolbar.rs. It
is tested with headless egui frame tests driven by pointer events (placement,
Escape, click outside, dimming, drag and drop in each direction, the locked
toolbar), along with command, persistence and drop-zone tests. The three new
command labels are translated in every complete catalog, and the error
messages reuse existing translated templates.

A star's inner radius was always half its outer one while drawing, so
its ratio couldn't be changed. As Illustrator documents for the Star
tool: Ctrl/Cmd during the drag keeps the inner radius where it is while
the outer one follows the pointer (the new ratio stays once the key is
let go, for the rest of the drag and the next stars), and Alt keeps the
star's shoulders straight (each point's sides in line with the next
points', a ratio of cos(2π/n)/cos(π/n); five points or more).

Placing an SVG fitted and centred it by its art's bounds whatever `crop`
said, so art drawn on a shared canvas lost its place and scale, and
`crop: "crop"` and `crop: "bounding"` gave the same result without a
warning. With `crop: "crop"` given, an SVG is now framed and clipped by
its viewBox (its artboard, as File › Open has it), as a PDF is by its
page: `rect` and `at` fit and centre that frame. By default, as
Illustrator places an SVG, and with "bounding", it is still its art's
bounds.

A browser's Copy Image puts the picture on the clipboard with text next
to it. Paste already took the picture when that text was only the
image's address (#597), but some browsers (seen on Fedora with KDE) put
the image's HTML there instead, `<img src="…" class="…" style="…">`,
which isn't an address, so the markup was pasted as type.
names_a_picture also takes markup whose only content is <img> elements
(no text outside its tags) as naming the picture, and Paste then reads
the bitmap. Markup with words in it, and an address alone, still paste
as text.

The Fill/Stroke proxy stayed 36 pt and the Color, Gradient and None
buttons 7.5 pt in both toolbar layouts, so in two columns they sat small
in a wide strip and were hard to hit (in one column too). The proxy is
now 54 pt in two columns, the three buttons 11 pt in one column and
17 pt in two, and in two columns Draw Normal, Draw Behind and Draw
Inside sit side by side, each setting its mode (view.drawMode {mode}),
as Illustrator's two-column toolbar shows them; one column keeps the
button that cycles them.

The snap targets of a copy were gathered when Alt went down, from the document
as previewed, where the original had already moved with the drag, so the
original was never a target where it stays. Now both target sets (for a move,
and for a copy, which includes the original) are gathered when the drag
begins, and Alt picks between them each frame: for Direct Selection drags by
an anchor and for whole-object moves (the Selection tool's, and Direct
Selection's from a segment or fill).

Character tightening and optical kerning space each glyph differently, as
Japanese titles often are. The importer evened a line out with one
tracking value (type on a path took none), leaving glyphs up to an eighth
of an em out of place. When the file's font is installed and one value
can't place every glyph, each character now keeps its own tracking,
measured along the baseline (along the path for type on a path).
Glyphs closed up by up to half an em (the proportional widths of CJK
punctuation) also continue their line instead of starting another.

Pressing an anchor of paths that are all selected whole now moves them as
objects held by that anchor, so Alt pressed or released during the drag turns
the copy on and off (the original shows or not), as with the Selection tool.
The anchor keeps snapping all along, onto the original only while a copy
leaves it behind. With only some anchors selected the drag still moves just
those.
A committed move drag is now named for what it did in the end (Copy or Move),
for the Selection tool too.

Alt-dragging a path by an anchor moved the copy with whole-object snapping
(bounds only, from the press point), so the anchor couldn't land exactly on
another anchor. Now the pressed anchor (its own coordinates, not the pointer's)
snaps as a dragged anchor does: onto other paths' anchors and segments and
Smart Guides, and onto the original the copy leaves behind. The history says
Copy for an Alt-drag.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Alt-pressing a segment already picked the whole path and Alt-drag copied it,
but a press on an anchor ignored Alt and only moved the selected anchors. Now
Alt on an anchor picks the whole path too, so Alt-drag duplicates it as the
Selection tool's does.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A path with all its anchors selected is stored whole (no partial entry), so
pressing one of its anchors looked unselected and replaced the selection with
that anchor alone; the drag then moved just it. Now an anchor of a path
selected whole counts as selected: the press keeps the selection and the drag
moves every anchor. Shift-press still deselects that one anchor.

The second half of #966. With Proportional Metrics on, a vertical segment is
also shaped top to bottom, with and without `vpal`: the difference gives
each glyph's change of advance down the column and its x and y placement.
An upright glyph (not tate-chu-yoko) in a font with vertical metrics takes
them on top of its cell, so it moves with its shorter cell; a font without
vertical metrics keeps `upright_cell`'s cell, and with the switch off
nothing is shaped twice and the column is as before.
As in horizontal type, Line-end Punctuation Half Width takes nothing more
off the punctuation `vpal` re-spaced and trims the punctuation it leaves
full height as before. Docs: mcp.md, and Proportional Metrics leaves the
missing lists in gaps.md, type-parity.md and target-app-parity.md.

After linesweeper 0.5 (#1028 on main), uniting the faces of a grid of
lines could split the merged strip again even with their corners shared
exactly: a sweep over seven or more faces moved shared vertices by about
1e-6 (within its eps) and the edges between faces no longer cancelled.
Faces cut by open paths now merge like closed shapes' faces already do
(FaceMerger::exact): in the planar map itself. build() is split into
map() (the graph and its faces) and build(); Map::merge traces the
boundary of the picked faces along the map's own edges, dropping the
edges between two picked faces and the loose ends inside them, so no
sweep runs on the result. FaceMerger finds each face again by a point
inside it, checks the area, and keeps the boolean union as a fallback.
Tests: the regression test merges through FaceMerger; a grid test
covers a ring with its hole, cells touching at a corner, a loose end,
and that the map path (not the fallback) produced the result.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The planar map merged sweep endpoints within eps into one vertex id but
kept each segment's own copy of the coordinates, so faces meeting at a
vertex could disagree on that corner by ~1e-13. Uniting them then failed
to cancel their shared edge, and a merged strip came back as several
touching subpaths whose stroke drew the inner edges as leftover lines.
Pin every edge's ends to its vertex's canonical position, so faces share
their corners bit for bit. Regression test from the reporter's grid.

The crash: rfd's blocking dialog ran -[NSSavePanel runModal] inside
winit's event handler; when a resize of the panel ends, AppKit runs the
closures winit queued meanwhile, and winit's re-entrancy panic fires
inside an Objective-C block, where it can't unwind, so the app aborts.
As PhotoCraft (#673) and PdfCraft (#145) ship it:
- macOS: picks::ask shows an rfd::AsyncFileDialog as a sheet on the
window (beginSheetModalForWindow returns at once); a waiter thread
sends the paths and wakes the window. A pick asked outside an entry is
refused and logged instead of running a modal. Linux keeps its thread
(#592) and now also wakes the window; Windows is unchanged.
- Nine paths that asked outside an entry now run as entries: Load
Profile, Swatches and Graphic Styles Other Library, the shortcut
editor's Import and Export, and the presets dialogs' Export.
- While a dialog is open: the macOS menu bar is inert except Hide, Hide
Others and Minimize; Quit, Close, Close All and the close button are
refused; Finder/Dock opens and the IME discard wait; another dialog
is refused with a status message. The answer re-activates the
document that asked (by uid) and Save Changes finds its document by
uid; a frame guard clears a stale picks entry after a recovered panic.
- ui.inspect reports fileDialog.

The name was placed at the top-left corner of the artboard's bounding box

the artboard's on-screen width.

swatch.library.save replied with the number of solid colors and
gradients it was asked to save, including the gradients the format
leaves out. For a new document saved as .ase, count was 50 and the file
held 46 colors. The .gpl and .ase writers keep solid colors only, and
the CSS writer leaves freeform gradients out.
count is now the number of swatches written. The new
PaletteFormat::holds returns whether a file of a format keeps a swatch
with a given paint, and swatch.library.save counts the swatches for
which it returns true. The reply has the same fields as before.
Tests: after a freeform gradient is added to a new document's swatches,
the test checks that count has these values: 51 for .vcswatches, 46 for
.gpl and .ase, and 50 for CSS. Each file holds that many swatches.

Object › Lock › All Artwork Above and Object › Hide › All Artwork Above
lock or hide the objects that are above the selection in its layer and
overlap it. Such an object can be a group or a sublayer that holds
another selected object. The commands left that object selected, the
key object included. Align then moved the locked object, or aligned
the other selected objects to the hidden key object. object.lock and
object.hide clear the selection, and layer.setProps, which the Layers
panel's eye and lock columns run, deselects what it hides or locks.
Both commands now deselect every selected object that is locked or
hidden after the command, as layer.setProps does, and clear the key
object when it is one of them. Undo selects the objects again and
restores the key object.
Docs: the object.lock.above and object.hide.above params text,
docs/target-app-parity.md.
object.align, object.distribute and object.distributeSpacing moved
objects without their pattern tiles, whatever General › Transform
Pattern Tiles was set to. They now follow the preference as Move,
Nudge and the Selection tool do: with it on, pattern fills and strokes
move with the art. Each also takes a `patterns` param for one call, as
the transforms do. When the art uses a pattern, the journal records the
choice, and a recorded action plays back with it.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (transformPatternTiles), docs/target-app-parity.md.
object.setProps with visible: false or locked: true left the objects
it hid or locked selected, the key object included, and kept selected
objects inside a group or layer it hid or locked. Align then moved a
locked object, and aligned the other objects to a hidden key object.
object.lock and object.hide clear the selection, and layer.setProps,
which the Layers panel's eye and lock columns run, deselects what it
hides or locks.
After a call with visible: false or locked: true, object.setProps now
deselects every selected object that is then hidden or locked, as
layer.setProps does: the selected objects it hides or locks, selected
objects inside them, and selected objects that were hidden or locked
before the call. It clears the key object when the key is one of
them. Undo selects them again and restores the key object. A call
with visible: false or locked: true that changes nothing records no
undo step and still deselects them, as object.lock and object.hide
do. A call that sets neither, such as an opacity change from the
Control bar or the Transparency panel, leaves the selection as it is.
Docs: the object.setProps params text, docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
object.align with neither horizontal nor vertical returned success
and moved nothing. The command palette, and a key bound to it in
Keyboard Shortcuts, run it with no params. It now returns
"give horizontal or vertical", as object.distribute already did.
An action recorded while Align ran from the palette or a bound key
contains an object.align step with no params. Playing that action now
fails at that step, and command.batch rolls back the whole action.
Values outside a parameter's choices were read as another choice or
ignored. Align ignored an unknown horizontal or vertical and aligned
to the selection for an unknown to value. Distribute read an unknown
direction as center. Distribute Spacing and Shear read any axis other
than "vertical" as horizontal, and Reflect read any axis other than
"horizontal" or a number as vertical. A bounds or to value that was
not a string fell back to the default, and a spacing that was not a
number gave automatic spacing. The commands now return an error that
names such a value, before they move anything or record an undo
step. When a to, bounds, axis or spacing value is missing or null,
the command uses the parameter's default: Distribute Spacing without
an axis spaces the objects horizontally.
The run_command description and docs/mcp.md showed object.align with
an align param it does not have; they now use horizontal. The new
status-bar messages have rows in the de, es, fr, it, ja, ru and uk
catalogs.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Align to Artboard aligned the selection to the artboard under its
center, or to the first artboard when no artboard was under the
center. A press with a selection tool inside an artboard makes that
artboard the active one (#693). With the Selection tool, a
Shift-click on an empty spot inside an artboard also makes it active
and keeps the selection. Align to Artboard did not use the active
artboard.
object.align takes artboard, a 0-based artboard index, and uses it
when its to param is "artboard". The app passes its active artboard,
the one the Artboards panel highlights, to each object.align it runs
that names none, as it does for Paste in Place, Paste in Front, Paste
in Back (#693) and Select › All on Active Artboard (#1006). MCP calls
in remote mode also get it. Without artboard (headless MCP and the
CLI), or with an index the document doesn't have, object.align aligns
to the artboard under the center of the selection, or to the first
artboard when no artboard is under the center.
command.batch takes artboard too, and the app passes it the active
artboard. The batch passes it on to each step of these five commands
that names none, when the step runs. When the document a step runs in
has no artboard at that index (for example, after an earlier step
deleted the active artboard when it was the last one), the step gets
that document's last artboard. A step in a document that an earlier
step opened, created or switched to gets the same index, not that
document's own active artboard.
With Align to Selection, one selected object aligned from the Align
panel, the Control bar or the Properties panel is aligned to the
active artboard too, unless it is the key object.
Recorded actions leave out the artboard that the app passes to these
commands and to the batch. The Actions panel plays an action as a
batch. Its Align to Artboard, All on Active Artboard and in-place
paste steps that name no artboard use the artboard that is active
when it plays, and the default Center on Artboard action now centers
on the active artboard. In-place paste steps recorded since #693 and
before this change still paste onto the artboard that was active when
they were recorded.
Tests cover object.align with and without artboard on three artboards;
a Shift-click that makes an artboard active, after which Align to
Artboard aligns to that artboard but keeps an artboard the call names;
a batch that passes its artboard to each step when the step runs,
after a step deletes the last artboard and in a new document; recorded
actions that leave the artboard out; and recorded Align to Artboard
and Paste in Place steps and the default Center on Artboard action,
which play on the artboard that is active when they play.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Align to Artboard), docs/target-app-parity.md.
Selecting two objects, clicking one to make it the key object and then
Shift-clicking the other left the remaining object as the key. The
canvas still drew that object with the thick key-object outline. The
Align panel aligned the object to itself, so the object did not move.
The key is now cleared after any change that leaves no other selected
object outside it, such as a Shift-click, or hiding or deleting the
other object's row in the Layers panel. On a single selected object,
or on a group selected with only its own members, select.key sets no
key.
With one object selected and Align to Key Object chosen, the Align
panel, the Control bar and the Properties panel ran object.align with
to: "key", which fails with "no key object" when the selection has no
key. All three now align a single selected object to the artboard
whatever Align To is set to.

With a document open, the desktop app ran File › Place on a swatch or
graphic style library, a Libraries panel file, a presets file or a
plug-in dropped on it. A desktop drop has no position, and without one
the app opened only documents and ran File › Place on every other file.
On the web, the app also ran File › Place on these files when they were
dropped on the canvas. File › Place can't read them, and the drop
failed with "Couldn't place X: ... not a format VectorCraft reads".
VectorcraftApp::drop_target now returns Open for these files, with or
without a drop position, and they open as File › Open opens them:
plug-ins are installed, presets are imported, swatch and graphic style
libraries open in the library panel, and a Libraries panel file is
added to the Libraries panel as a new library. A dropped library,
presets file or plug-in that has a path is added to Open Recent Files
when it opens, as File › Open adds it. io::opens_as returns the kind of
each of these files from its extension, and drop_target and
io::open_bytes both call it. The rules from #472 still apply to
documents, pictures and text. On the web the browser gives no file name
before the drop, so the app still outlines the canvas while such a file
is dragged over it.
Tests: drop_target returns Open for each of the eleven extensions, with
no position and with a position on the canvas. A .gpl dropped through
the desktop drop path loads in the library panel and is added to Open
Recent Files, and a .vclibrary dropped the same way becomes a new
library in the Libraries panel.

Since #1025 reads global colours, more Illustrator EPS files open through
their layers, and for one reported file that gave a worse result than its
page did in 0.8.0:
- the page became the editing data's artboard (344 pt tall) instead of the
file's own bounding box (358 pt), cutting off art reaching above it. An
EPS whose page is its art's box now keeps that page on the layers path
too, as it does on the page path.
- prune_unseen took out text objects the page does draw: a red stroke
stacked over a dark red one differs from it by less than the lightness
margin, so the page looked no different without it. Pruning now weighs
each text object by colour (any of red, green, blue more than 64 apart);
the page check itself still compares by lightness, so colours written
as their CMYK equivalents still match.

stroke.widthPoint.set and .copy read `index` with `as_u64() as usize`:
a malformed index ("bad", -1, 1.5) was taken as no index, so set added a

They now read it through point_indices, as remove does since #1079:
anything but an index of an existing point is "no such width point".
A null index is still no index (set adds a point).

When a .ai's layers can't be read from its editing data yet, it opens as
its PDF part, which lists the artboards as pages; those were laid out in
a row, so a grid of artboards (or any other arrangement) was lost. The
editing data's artboards are now read even then (ai::artboards, as far
as the reader gets) and, when there are as many as pages and of the same
sizes, each page goes where its artboard is, with the art on it (the art
of a page: the objects mostly on it, else nearest it). Otherwise the
pages stay in a row as before.

Align and Distribute Spacing move a selected compound path or group as
one object, and they found the key object only when its own id was
among the objects they move. When the key was inside a compound path
or a selected group, aligning to the key moved that compound path or
group like any other object, and the key moved with it. In that case,
Distribute Spacing with a spacing held the first object still instead
of the key.
The key object can end up inside a selected group or a compound path.
Dragging its row into a group in the Layers panel (layer.move) keeps
the selection and the key. A Selection-tool Shift-click on that group,
when it is unselected and directly in a layer, then adds it to the
selection (select.toggle) and keeps the key. Other ways of adding the
group keep the key as well: a Shift-click in the Layers panel's
selection column or on the group's target circle, a Group Selection
click that hits the key itself, select.add, and select.anchors or
select.anchorsMany in add or toggle mode. In isolation mode, a
Selection-tool click on one of several selected objects in the
isolated group makes that object the key. In an isolated compound
path, the same click on the outline of a selected member makes that
member the key.
Align to the key object and Distribute Spacing with a spacing now keep
in place the selected object that is the key or contains it. Both
commands look for that object among the key and its ancestors, so a
group around the key's group also stays in place. Aligning to the key
still lines the others up with the key's own bounds.

arc raised its second angle by 2π in a loop until it was no longer
below the first, and arcn lowered it the same way. For an angle of
1e18 degrees that loop takes about 3e15 steps: vectorcraft-cli info
was still reading an EPS file with "newpath 100 100 50 1e18 0 arc
stroke" when "timeout 20" stopped it. For 1e308 the loop never ends:
from 2^56 radians (about 4.1e18 degrees) up, adding 2π leaves a double
unchanged. The import fuzz test eps_hostile_programs_never_panic builds
programs from tokens that include arc, arcn, 1e308 and 1e15.
arc now raises the second angle by multiples of 360 until it is at
least the first, and arcn lowers it until it is at most the first, as
the PostScript Language Reference defines them. The code works out both
sweeps from the remainders of the two angles after whole turns, and it
places the first endpoint at the remainder of the first angle. Ordinary
angles give the same arcs as before, apart from rounding in the last
digits. One case changes: when raising (arc) or lowering (arcn) the
second angle by whole turns makes it equal to the first, as in
60 -300 arc or -60 300 arcn, rounding sometimes made the old loop add
another turn and draw a full circle. Those arcs are now empty, as the
PostScript Language Reference defines them.
Tests: 1e18 0 arc, 1e308 0 arc, 0 1e18 arcn and 0 1e308 arcn draw the
arc between the angles' remainders and leave the current point at the
second angle. The test reads each program on a thread of its own and
fails when no result arrives within 20 seconds.
A malformed id gets the existing object-id message, and a listed anchor
that is not a corner the existing "give corners of the path" one, so
only the malformed-list message is new (translated in every catalog
that covers messages).

The sweeps `every_command_with_junk_params` and

`object.distributeSpacing`'s `spacing`, or `artboard.setProps`'s `x`,
`y`, `width` or `height`. The comment above `KNOWN_BUGS`, the list of
those (command, param) pairs, referred to `#[ignore]`d repro tests, but
`bug_huge_transform_makes_document_unloadable` and
`bug_artboard_huge_props_break_svg` have no `#[ignore]` and run with the

`Session::edit` returns an error when an edit leaves an artboard or a

`MAX_COORD`, and `object.transformEach` clamps `scaleH` and `scaleV`.
The list and its two checks are removed, so both sweeps run those
cases.

A .ai or PDF whose spot colours are defined in Lab opened them wrong:

header names the Lab data colour space, is now read as Lab;
- the editing data writes them as `c m y k L a b (name) tint 2 Xx`,
type 2 being Lab, and only the CMYK equivalent was read. Type 2 now
gives the Lab colour, in the swatches and on the art.

These Object commands edited the document even when nothing changed, so
the call recorded an undo step, emptied Redo and marked the document
modified:
- object.align, object.distributeSpacing and object.distribute (three
or more objects) when no object moves. With one object selected,
Object › Align aligns it to its own bounds, so it recorded a step
every time. Calls on objects that were already aligned or evenly
spaced also recorded a step, including objects that an earlier Align
or Distribute left a rounding error away from the position the next
call computes.
- Move, Rotate, Scale, Shear, Transform and Nudge by an identity
transform without a copy, Transform Again after one, Set Bounds with
the current position and size, and a Selection tool drag that ends
where it started.
- Nudge by 0 with anchors direct-selected or with only ruler guides
selected, and Transform with nothing selected or with ids that name
no object, with or without a copy.
- Bring to Front and Bring Forward on objects already in front, Send to
Back and Send Backward on objects already at the back, and Send to
Current Layer on objects already on top of the current layer.
- Ungroup, Release Compound Path and Release Clipping Mask with none of
their objects selected, and Expand Shape with no live shape selected.
- Lock with every selected object already locked, Hide with every one
already hidden, Unlock All with nothing locked and Show All with
nothing hidden.
- object.setProps with the values the objects already have, or with no
object.
- object.setLiveShape with the values the shape already has: a
polygon's sides, angle, radius or equal sides, or a side length that
gives exactly its current radius; an ellipse's pie, including Invert
Pie on a whole ellipse; and a corner radius or kind that the corners
already have.
These commands now return without editing the document, and Align and
Distribute count a move of 1e-9 pt or less on both axes as none. Such a
call records no undo step, keeps the step to redo and leaves the
document unmodified. In these cases Ungroup no longer resets the
selection, and Release Compound Path, Unlock All and Show All no longer
empty it. A Transform with a copy of no object keeps the selection.
Lock and Hide still deselect the objects. A Nudge by 0 no longer
expands a live shape whose anchors are direct-selected. The replies
have the same form as before. An identity transform still sets what
Transform Again repeats. The journal still records each call, so the
Actions panel records it as before.
When every value given to Set Bounds is the current one, it now applies
the identity transform instead of the transform computed from those
values, which can differ from the identity by a rounding error on a
rotated object or with Use Preview Bounds.
When a drag comes back to its start, the identity preview no longer
edits the document. Session::preview now advances the revision when it
undoes the previous preview, so views redraw that drag.
The undo and redo row of docs/mcp.md now notes that many calls that
change nothing record no undo step, so undo after one undoes the step
before it.
A character attribute (Character panel menu with the East Asian options;
`text.setFormat` / `text.setRangeStyle {proportionalMetrics}`), saved only
when on. In horizontal type it applies `palt`; vertical type sets as before
until the vertical shaping change (`vpal`) follows.
Line-end Punctuation Half Width takes nothing more off the punctuation
`palt` re-spaced (the flush opening bracket, consecutive punctuation, the
line-end half width): the segment is shaped once more without `palt`, and
the glyphs whose advance differs are marked. Punctuation the font leaves
full width is trimmed as before. SVG writes `"palt" 1` with the
character's other features.

After scaling 12 pt type 2x, the Character panel still showed 12 pt and
typing 10 pt gave 20 pt type. Character controls and text commands now
work in document points: the size, leading and baseline shift shown and
set are the stored ones times the text's scale along its em height, and
horizontal scale includes the ratio of the transformed em axes. Rotation,
reflection and shear stay in the transform, so text remains editable.
Groups' text counts, keyboard increments use the same units, Shrink
Text to Fit works in document tenths, and a collapsed transform rejects
dimensional edits without touching the document.
text.getRange takes effective: true for the document-space values.
Choosing a fill or stroke (Color panel, Swatches, the proxies) while the
Type tool had a few characters selected painted every run of the type
object. As in Illustrator, it now goes to the selected characters only:
the runs are split at the selection's ends and the paint is placed on
the runs in between, as one undo step; a stroke gets a 1 pt weight
where it had none. With only a caret, or with explicit ids or an item,
paint.setFill/setStroke behave as before.

A .ai in PostScript form went only to the PostScript interpreter, which
stopped on the first operator its missing prolog would define
(`Adobe_packedarray`, `Lb`, `Np`): files from Rhino and other CAD apps name
the procsets without including them.
- Such a program is its own editing data: when it has layers
(`%AI5_BeginLayer`) and no private data, the editing-data reader reads it,
compared with the page when the program runs, from the layers alone when
it can't be run. If the layers can't be read either, the error says why.
- The reader takes the legacy ten-operand `Lb`, ignores flatness `i`, and
uses the bounding box as the page when nothing else says where it is.
- Tests on synthetic files; fuzz fixture and hostile-program layers added.

The editing-data reader stopped on `Xk`/`XK` (global process colours) and
on `p`/`P` (pattern fills), so the file fell back to its PDF part, which has
only the top-level layers.
- `Xk`/`XK` read like `Xx`: a global swatch (not a spot ink), linked at its tint.
- `%AI3_BeginPattern` sections are read by a reader of their own into
pattern swatches (tile from `(name) llx lly urx ury`, art in pattern space);
`p`/`P` fill or stroke with them, placed by the operator's matrix. A pattern
it can't read whole still makes a fill with it unreadable, as before.
- Tests on synthetic editing data; fuzz tokens and fixture extended.

- Guides on a hidden or locked layer leave the selection (Selection::prune,
run after every edit and selection change), their Layers rows neither
select nor drag them, and guide.move / guide.remove / guide.setLayer
refuse them; guide.setLayer refuses a locked target layer, as dragged
rows are refused there.
- A new guide goes where new art goes (the current layer, else the top
shown and unlocked one; refused when there is none), so it never lands
on a hidden layer and vanishes.
- Layer commands keep guides with their layers: Duplicate (and Alt-drag
copies of rows) copy a layer's guides onto the copy, Merge Selected and
Flatten Artwork put the merged layers' guides on the merged layer and
Flatten discards a hidden layer's. One shared doc predicate for "the
layer a guide is on"; the deleted-layer cleanup moves into the doc.
- Tests: engine tests for the above and their undo, a doc check that an
old guide reads with no layer and none is written, and a headless
Layers panel test of guide rows (select, drag to another layer, locked).
- Translations for the new message; docs and a ROADMAP progress line.

The sweep under Offset Path (linesweeper 0.4) never finished on some
miter offsets: on the reported glyph and on a synthetic outline it kept
allocating until the app ran out of memory. linesweeper 0.5 fixes that
infinite loop ("Fixed an infinite loop", 0.5.0 changelog), and builds
without changes.
0.5 can hand back a curve piece that doesn't follow the input curve it
was cut from. In the Shape Builder rosette test, a contour runs out along
one petal and back by such a piece, which became a 59 x 4 pt hole in the
merged shape. Tidy::repair rebuilds a piece that strays from the one input
curve through both its ends as that curve's exact sub-curve (input curves
are indexed by their bounds' left edge, so it stays cheap). The there-and-
back then encloses nothing and is dropped as a sliver. Pieces on their
curve, and pieces whose ends two input curves pass through (a real lens),
are left alone.

The Selection tool shows it over the rotate zone and while rotating (it

fill_contains promised to close open subpaths (as their fill does) but
counted kurbo's winding, which leaves the closing edge out: a point beside
it read as outside. An open path (an anchor deleted from a closed one) lost
its fill clicks on that side, and a reflection moved the edge across, so it
looked like Reflect broke selection. Open subpaths are now closed by a
straight line back to their start before the winding is counted; closed
paths are borrowed as they are.
Tests: the open path from the report, on both sides and even-odd; reflected
shapes, imported SVG hearts, a selected shape dragged by its fill.

The link watch wakes the app every two seconds only while the last look
found links (068a934, #967). A file placed less than two seconds after a
look that found none asked for no more frames, so while the window sat
idle nothing stamped it; a change made meanwhile was taken for the file
as first seen and never acted on. The watch now remembers the active
document's uid and revision at each look and, when they differ on a
later frame, asks for one wake when the next look is due. There is
still no per-frame walk of the links, and no two-second wakes for a

A root such as width="96pt" height="96" took CSS pixels (0.75 pt) along x and points along y,
so a square came in 24 x 32 pt and the artboard 96 x 96 instead of 96 x 72; with a viewBox the
art was stretched too.
When either root side is absolute, both axes now take CSS pixels at 96 per inch (usvg already
parses at that resolution): the unitless or px side is the same CSS length it would be in a
browser. The root scale is one number.
The test opens width="96pt" with height 96, 96px and 72pt, and width 128 with height 72pt: a

Reversal read the midpoints after Gradient::reverse had reordered the stops, so each stop
took the wrong segment's midpoint: red-to-blue with its midpoint at 20% reversed to a 50%
midpoint instead of 80%, moving the transition.
Gradient::reverse now mirrors each segment's midpoint with it, so a reversed gradient is the
same ramp the other way round; paint.editGradient's own (wrong) pass is gone, and the SVG
importer's reflect spread, which had a correct copy of the same mirroring, uses it too.
Tests: two- and three-stop gradients with off-centre midpoints sample the same reversed (t vs

With every layer hidden or locked, the insertion layer fell back to the top layer anyway, so
drawing a shape, typing, pasting, making a graph, a flare, a grid, trim marks or a symbol put
the art on a hidden or locked layer: invisible, or unselectable by Select All. Illustrator
refuses to draw on a locked or hidden target layer (public forum answers, e.g.
https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/can-t-draw-a-new-object-in-my-document/m-p/11107182).
DocState::target_parent is insertion_parent for new art, failing with "the target layer is
locked or hidden" when it would be a layer that isn't editable; those creation paths use it.
Another layer that is shown and unlocked still takes the art, as before. The message is in the
de, es, fr, it, ja, ru and uk catalogs. File > Place is left as it is (another branch reworks
it).
The test hides, then locks, the only layer: an ellipse, a polar grid, text and a paste each
fail with the message and leave the document unchanged; a new layer then takes a rectangle.

Asset Export, File › Export, Save for Web and Object › Rasterize drew

edge (Divide, Shape Builder, abutting art) both half-covered the pixels

the size (three or two times for large images, within a 40-megapixel
budget and the renderer's 65,535-pixel side) and each block averaged
into one pixel. Pixels shared by two shapes are fully owned by one or
the other at the finer size, so no seam is left, and the outer edges
are still smooth. The canvas keeps shape-by-shape smoothing for speed;
None and Type Optimized are unchanged.
RenderOptions::supersample turns it on (exports and Rasterize set it).

towards white chalk at high brightness or black ink at low brightness;
Smoothness also leaves the faint edges out. The shape stays as it was.
- Angled Strokes (directionBalance 0..100, 50; strokeLength pt 3..50, 15;
sharpness 0..10, 3): light areas in right diagonal strokes, dark areas
in left diagonal ones; 0 makes every stroke a left diagonal, 100 every
stroke a right diagonal. Sharpness brings detail and bristles back.
- Crosshatch (strokeLength pt 3..50, 9; sharpness 0..20, 6; strength
1..3, 1): the detail kept under pencil hatching along both diagonals,
Strength passes of it, the edges roughened.
- Dark Strokes (balance 0..10, 5; blackIntensity 0..10, 6;
whiteIntensity 0..10, 2): short strokes towards black in the dark
areas, long strokes towards white in the light areas.
- Ink Outlines (strokeLength pt 1..50, 4; darkIntensity 0..50, 20;
lightIntensity 0..50, 10): black outlines over the edges, ink hatching
in the shadows, shadows darkened and highlights lightened.
- Spatter (sprayRadius pt 0..25, 10; smoothness 1..15, 5): each pixel
shifted by noise up to 0.4 x the radius; Smoothness makes the grains
larger and smoother.
- Sprayed Strokes (strokeLength pt 0..20, 12; sprayRadius pt 0..25, 7;
strokeDirection Right Diagonal, Horizontal, Left Diagonal or Vertical):
strokes along the direction, scattered by up to 0.3 x the radius.
- Sumi-e (strokeWidth pt 3..15, 10; strokePressure 0..15, 2; contrast
0..40, 16): wet strokes, ink bleeding from the darks along paper
fibres, more ink with pressure and an S-curve contrast for rich blacks.
It works in value only: hues and saturation stay, and so does the
object's shape (no fringe in the transparency).
A stroke averages the colour along a segment through the pixel (16
samples at most, the art softened first when they lie more than a pixel
apart); strokes lie in rows around the object's centre, each row
starting at random and each stroke shifted along itself, with streaked
noise for the bristles. Everything is in document space, so the effects
look the same at any zoom or resolution, move with the object and draw
the same every time; outsets and reaches are exact. On a 2000 x 2000
raster in release the slowest settings take 0.3-2.0 s (Crosshatch at
50 pt with 3 passes the most).
Shared helpers instead of copies: edges::sobel (Glowing Edges now uses
it, unchanged), distort::displace and texture::Tones are pub(super).

With High Performance chosen on a hybrid laptop, the window's first
frame never reached the screen: no error, no panic, the app stayed in
the background without a window and the log stopped after "rendering
with". The start-up recovery of #502 only saw failures.
A watch thread now gives the first frame 20 seconds from the app's
creation (after the files named at the start opened). When the second
frame hasn't begun by then, so the first was never presented, the app
starts again without that adapter, as it does after a graphics failure,
and this process ends. A window minimized at the start isn't counted.
When the hung processor was chosen in Preferences, the status bar's
note after the restart points to Automatic.
docs/development.md explains it and how to recover from a Graphics
Processor choice that doesn't work; ROADMAP Last updated.

As Window's other panel items do, and as the reference's Window menu has
it, Window › Variables is the panel itself instead of a submenu of
eighteen commands. The panel menu gains Make Text Dynamic, Make
Visibility Dynamic, Unbind Variable and Delete Variable beside the
bottom bar's buttons, which share one reading of what the selection
allows; every command stays in the command palette. The labels only
the submenu used leave the catalogs.

- Dataset and variable names are the user's: the panel's Data Set dropdown and
the dialogs' name dropdowns show them as they are instead of translating
them; the dialog's Kind dropdown shows translated kind names.
- Choosing the empty option in a dialog dropdown picked the first name.
- The panel reads the art once per frame for every row's italics, the dialog
no longer clones the document's variables every frame, and slices are
matched instead of indexed.
- "No document" and "Define a variable first" go through tl!, and the dialog
headings Variable Options / Edit Data Set, Text and Visibility have rows in
every complete catalog; the unused "{name} · {kind} · {count}" row is gone.
- German rows for every Variables string (the catalog predates this branch).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- A visibility variable could hide an object but never show it again: dataset
application, capture and binding refused any object that wasn't visible
(`is_editable`), so a row that hid an object left it hidden for good and a
capture after hiding it in the Layers panel didn't record it. They now use
`Document::variable_target`, which ignores the object's own visibility
(locked art and art on hidden or locked layers are still skipped).
- Renaming a variable renamed the active dataset when the two shared a name,
leaving it pointing at a dataset that doesn't exist.
- `variable.delete` and `dataset.delete` without `names` act on the
highlighted variable and the active dataset, so Window > Variables > Delete
Variable / Delete Data Set no longer fail with "missing `names`".
- `ids` is checked like other commands' explicit targets (a non-list no longer
falls back to the selection, bad ids are errors), names are trimmed and
capped at 255 characters, and the bind checks are shared by Bind and Make
Dynamic.
- Make Dynamic's fallback name no longer becomes " 2" for unnamed art.
- `dataset.list` reads the art once for every row's drift check, and
`Variables::prune` looks names up in a set.

Select Bound Object ran variable.unbind on the selection, so choosing it silently
removed the bindings; Delete Variable and Delete Data Set deleted every row. Now
the panel keeps a highlighted variable row (a click highlights and selects what
it drives, as the reference panel does): Select Bound Object selects what the
highlighted variable drives via select.set, Delete Variable deletes only it, and
Delete Data Set deletes only the current set. Variable Options and Rename Data
Set open their dialogs preselected with the highlighted variable / active set
(the double-click used to invoke variable.rename with a bare name, which only
errored). Unbind enables only over a bound selection; Make Text Dynamic only for
exactly one type object.
The highlight is per-document session state with its own command
(variable.highlight, no undo step, like layer.highlight): rename carries it,
delete clears it when stale. New engine tests (18) and panel tests cover the
reviewer's regression case, verified to fail on the old wiring.
Opening the panel from the Window menu worked, but collapsing the dock did not
show it: `ICON_PANELS` only registers a panel (so `window.panel` finds it) while
`ICON_PANEL_GROUPS` is what the collapsed column actually draws, and `variables`
was in the first list only. Sixteen panels are registered without a group; for
the ones meant to live in the column, the entry in `ICON_PANELS` alone is not
enough.
`variables` gets a row of its own at the bottom of the column, where the
reference app keeps it. Both lists now say which is which, so the next panel
does not repeat this, and a test asserts a registered panel reaches the column
(it fails without the group entry) and that every grouped id names a registered
panel with an icon.
`floating.rs`'s icon test counted the column's icons, which only means
"one left" while the column is tall enough to show them all — past that, one
scrolling into view replaces the one that left. It runs on a window tall enough
for every icon now, and checks the count is the number of registered groups'
icons rather than a number that happens to pass.
Dragging a panel into the icon column still doesn't work, and is not something
this PR changes: tearing a panel off makes it float, for every panel. Docking it
back into the column would be a dock feature of its own.
cargo xtask ci: all 7 steps pass on Rust 1.99.
The engine side was called a solid base, but the panel could only list and
apply: variables and datasets were made through commands, which most people
won't find. The reference app's Variables workflow is now what the panel does,
and every button runs a `variable.*` / `dataset.*` command, so the panel and an
agent drive the document the same way.
New commands (all also in Window › Variables, the palette and over MCP):
- `variable.makeTextDynamic` / `variable.makeVisibilityDynamic`: define a
variable of that kind over the selection, named after what it drives, and
bind it — one step, as the panel's two buttons.
- `dataset.capture`: record what the bound objects hold right now as a new row
("Data Set 1"… ) and make it active. This, rather than typing values, is how
rows are made: change the art, then capture.
- `dataset.update`: write what the art holds now into the active row. Without
an active row it says so rather than picking one.
- `variable.rename` / `dataset.rename` (Variable Options…, Rename Data Set…):
a name is how a variable is referred to, so renaming carries its bindings and
its values in every row with it.
- `dataset.list` reports `matches` per row: whether the art still holds what
that row says.
`Document::captured_values` is the one place that reads a bound object's value,
so capture, update and the drift check can't disagree about what the art says.
Panel: the current data set across the top as a dropdown with ◀ ▶; variable
rows with their kind's icon and the name of the object they drive ("Multiple
objects" when it is more than one), a click selecting it and a double click
opening Variable Options; a dataset row in italics once an edit has moved the
art away from what it says; Make Text/Visibility Dynamic, New, Unbind and Delete
below, Capture and Update on a second line; and a (≡) menu with the same
commands for the ones that act on a row rather than the selection.
Checked on Rust 1.99 (the current stable), which is what the review asked for:
cargo xtask ci, all 7 steps pass.
`bindings` mapped an object id to a single variable name, so binding an object
to a second variable silently dropped the first — a binding lost with nothing
to show for it. The reference app binds the selected object to the selected
variable, one click at a time, and nowhere says a second binding replaces the
first (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/
automate-actions/work-with-variables.html), so this allows several instead.
`bindings` is now a set of variable names per object. `dataset.select` walks
them in the order the variables are defined, which keeps two text variables on
one object deterministic (the later one's value is what is left, and `applied`
counts both). `variable.bind` reports `bound` (added) and `already` (was there
already); `variable.unbind` takes an optional `variable` to drop one binding
instead of all of them.
This is done before the field ships rather than after: `variables` has never
been in a released file, so the shape can still change for free. Once a version
with it is out, the same change would need a format version bump and a
migration, since `crates/format` keeps every version from 1 loading.
A strict superset of what worked before: every binding a document had is still
there and still applied, in the same order.
cargo xtask ci: all 7 steps pass.
Review of #761 turned up three real defects and a feature that was visible
but not usable. All of it is fixed here, each defect with a regression test
that fails without the fix.
- A binding outlived the object it named. Deleting art left its entry in
`variables.bindings` forever: it counted as a skip in every dataset
application, `variable.list` counted it, and the saved file grew with every
delete. `Document::prune_variable_bindings` now lets them go after each
edit, as `prune_assets` does for Asset Export's.
- `Variables::prune` cleared `active_dataset` by comparing it against the
*variable* names being deleted. A dataset named like a variable lost its
active state when the variable went. The two are separate namespaces; the
block is gone (dataset.delete already did it right).
- `variable.delete` reported the number of names asked for, not the number
deleted, so deleting a name that was not there still said `deleted: 1`.
- `dataset.set` (new): a dataset's values could only be set when it was
created, so changing one meant deleting and rebuilding the row — losing its
place in the list and the active one. This replaces the row's values and
reports what it dropped.
- Window › Variables, and dialogs for the "…" commands. Every command had an
empty menu path and the command palette runs those with `{}`, so nothing
could be defined from the UI at all. The commands now carry their menu
path, the "…" ones open a Variables dialog (a name and a kind; a name and a
field per variable, its kind's editor), and `dataset.set` opens with the
row's own values.
- Locked art is neither bound nor rewritten by a dataset, and says so.
- `set_plain_text` told a node that existed but was not type that it was
missing.
- The panel had Document Info's icon, so the two were indistinguishable in
the collapsed column; it gets its own, plus New/Delete buttons, and its
rows say what their count is.
Format round trips now cover variables (the testkit fixture defines both
kinds, binds them and applies a row), and ROADMAP/README no longer list the
feature as missing.
cargo xtask ci: all 7 steps pass.
Three raster effects on the pixel-filter pipeline
(vectorcraft_effects::pixel::distort), under a new Effect › Distort
submenu between Blur and Pixelate in the Raster Effects section (the
vector Distort & Transform stays its own submenu):
- Diffuse Glow (graininess 0..10, default 6; glowAmount 0..20, 10;
clearAmount 0..20, 15): the highlights, softened over 2 points, glow
white from the brightness Clear Amount leaves clear; white grain as
dense as Graininess says is sprinkled over the object, thicker in the
glow. Transparency stays as it was.
- Glass (distortion 0..20, 5; smoothness 1..15, 3; texture Blocks,
Canvas, Frosted or Tiny Lens, default Frosted; scaling % 50..200, 100;
invert): the object seen through a glass surface; each pixel takes the
colour the surface's slope bends it to, sampled between pixels. Slopes
are taken over a span Smoothness widens. The surfaces are made in code
(Canvas is Texturizer's weave); Load Texture is left out.
- Ocean Ripple (rippleSize 1..15, 9; rippleMagnitude 0..20, 9): smooth
noise ripples about Ripple Size + 2 points across shift the object by
up to 0.03 x magnitude x their size.
The shifts are capped, so the effects' outsets and reaches are exact,
and every surface lies in document space around the object's centre:
the same at any zoom or resolution, moving with the object, identical
on every redraw.
Catalogue rows with parameter docs, menu entries, the Texture dropdown,
translations (and German's missing Canvas), tests (parameters and
clamping, outsets, each texture and Invert, the ripples' reach, the glow
and its grain, resolution and move invariance, canvas, multithreaded,
PDF and SVG, the command sweep with junk parameters, the menu) and

Short and Full Width, the Graph Type dialog's new Length choices, in the
complete catalogs (None was there). The Value Axis dropdown keeps the
one that landed with #971. ROADMAP Last updated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Each axis now takes its own tick marks, and the value axes a prefix and
suffix for their numbers:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/change-graph-value-axes.html
- Value axes (the left one, or a bar graph's bottom one, and the right
one): tick marks of no, short or full length, and a count per
division; labels stay at the divisions.
- Category axis: the same, at the labels or, with Draw Tick Marks
Between Labels, between them (halfway between labels when they sit
at the plot's edges).
- Add Labels: prefix and suffix per value axis ($, %).
- The Graph Type dialog offers the lengths and value axis sides as
choices, and counts it sends back as floats are read.
Own choices, as the page doesn't say: the lengths are none, short (the
4 pt ticks as before) and full (across the plot); category axes start
with no tick marks, as they had none before. Counts are capped at 20
per division and 10,000 category tick marks, affixes at one line of 64
characters. A full-length tick on the zero line or an axis line is left
out.
The legend moves past a bar graph's last value label when a suffix
runs it into the legend's gap. New fields are written only when set;
graphs with the default options draw the same art as before.
The generic Graph Type dialog showed `valueAxis` as a text field. It now
lists On Left Side, On Right Side and On Both Sides, translated in the
complete catalogs, with a test that the choices match the command's
params and that OK moves the axis. ROADMAP Last updated.

The value axis can now go on the left side (as before), the right side
or both sides of column, stacked column, line, area and scatter graphs:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/change-graph-value-axes.html
With the axis on both sides, Separate Scales gives the series assigned
to the right axis a scale of their own there, with its own tick values
(rightTicks, rightAxisMin, rightAxisMax):
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/assign-different-scales-to-value-axes.html
- A series goes on an axis with Group Selection (or `seriesIndexes`)
and `valueAxis` left or right. Without separate scales both sides
show the one scale.
- Each axis stacks its own stacked columns and areas; stacked columns
of the two axes take a slot of the cluster each instead of covering
each other.
- An axis with no series of its own shows the other one's scale. The
right scale's zero gets a line of its own when it isn't the left's.
- The right axis' labels push the legend further right.
- With series on both axes picked, the Graph Type query returns no
value axis, so the dialog's OK leaves each series where it is.
- Graph Data drops right-axis assignments for series the new data no
longer has.
Own choices, as the pages don't say: bar graphs keep their value axis
along the bottom, and scatter graphs draw every series on one scale.
New fields (valueAxis, separateScales, rightSeries, rightTicks,
rightAxisMin, rightAxisMax) are written only when set, so other files
are unchanged and older versions draw the left axis as before. Graphs
with the axis on the left draw the same art as before.

of the English labels in the vocabulary German-speaking users of vector
illustration software know (Zeichenfläche, Farbfelder, Kontur, Fläche, Pfad,

coverage checks; `german_reads_as_german` pins the core vocabulary, the
plurals, a nested message, the joined "…format" style names and the theme
context ("Erscheinungsbild" vs the Appearance panel's "Aussehen"); ä ö Ä Ö ß
are checked in the bundled UI fonts. The "unsupported locale" cases use
Dutch now that German is supported.

AppKit places close, minimize and zoom in a standard title bar, shorter
than the 44-point app bar they sit over, so they rode high on it. They
are now moved to the middle of the bar, inset from its left as far as
from its top, with the title bar container made as tall as the bar so
they stay clickable. AppKit lays the title bar out again on resize and
when leaving full screen, so the placement runs every frame and sets a
frame only when it is out of place. The app bar keeps the room the
buttons take, measured, instead of a fixed 78 points.

The link watch checks the active document's linked files every two
seconds and as the window comes back to the front, so the separate check
on focus that #925 added (missing_links::after_focus and its asked-files
set) goes: with both, a change was acted on twice. The watch also
walks the document's links only when a look is due, not every frame, and
wakes the app every two seconds only while the document has links. The
doc comments of status and links::groups are back on their functions.

Linked files another app changes while their document is open now follow
Preferences > File Handling > Update Links, as they do when it opens:
Automatically reads them again (an Update Links undo step), Ask When
Modified offers to (a question worded for files changed on disk while
working), Manually leaves them modified in the Links panel.
The desktop app stamps the active document's linked files (size +
modification time) on a worker thread every two seconds and when its
window comes back to the front; no look starts while a dialog is open.
Stamps are kept per document; a change is acted on once; a file still
being written is tried again. links.updateChanged reads changed files
again regardless of the preference (CLI, MCP).
New strings translated in all ten catalogs; ROADMAP updated.

Graph Type on series picked with Group Selection (or listed in the new
`seriesIndexes` param) now sets the type of those series only, so a
column graph can carry a line series:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/combine-different-graph-types.html
- Column, stacked column, line and area mix on the vertical value axis;
bar and stacked bar on the horizontal one. Scatter, pie and radar take
no other type. The help page doesn't list which types mix, so this is
our own choice: types that share the value axis.
- Stacked columns take one slot of the column cluster (a graph of
stacked columns only is unchanged); stacked series stack with each
other, areas with each other, and the value axis covers both totals.
- Areas draw at the back, lines in front of columns. Category labels,
areas and lines sit at the category centres once a series that isn't
edge to edge is in the graph.
- With only series selected, the Graph Type query returns their type,
so the dialog's OK keeps it, and they stay selected after the change.
An explicit `id`, or anything else in the selection, is the whole
graph, as before.
- A series given the graph's own type follows the graph again. A type
the graph's type can't take is drawn as the graph's and kept.
Series types are stored in a new `seriesKinds` field, written only when
a series has its own type; versions that don't know it draw the whole
graph as the graph's type. Graphs of one type draw the same art as
before.
Six raster effects on the pixel-filter pipeline
(vectorcraft_effects::pixel::texture), under a new Effect › Texture
submenu between Sharpen and Video in the Raster Effects section:
- Craquelure (crackSpacing pt 2..100, default 15; crackDepth 0..10, 6;
crackBrightness 0..10, 9): the object on relief plaster that cracks into
plates about Crack Spacing apart (a Voronoi network over jittered points)
and along the quarter, half and three-quarter contours of its softened
tones. Depth sets how dark and wide the cracks are and how high the
plates' bevels and the tones stand (lit from the top left); Brightness
how brightly the surface is lit.
- Grain (intensity 0..100, 40; contrast 0..100, 50 = unchanged; grainType
Regular, Soft, Sprinkles, Clumped, Contrasty, Enlarged, Stippled,
Horizontal, Vertical, Speckle; default Regular): coloured 1-point grains,
smooth ones, clumps, 2-point grains, streaks along rows or columns, dark
specks; Sprinkles and Stippled use the background colour, white.
- Mosaic Tiles (tileSize pt 2..100, 12; groutWidth 1..15, 3; lightenGrout
0..10, 9): irregular tiles bevelled at their edges, with sunken grout half
a point wide per step, lightened as Lighten Grout says.
- Patchwork (squareSize pt 0..10, 4; relief 0..25, 8): squares filled with
the colour around their centres, raised to heights that follow the
highlights and shadows, a little more or less at random.
- Stained Glass (cellSize pt 2..50, 10; borderThickness 1..20, 4;
lightIntensity 0..10, 3): single-coloured panes leaded in the foreground
colour (black, half a point per step), lit from behind at the object's
centre and fading out towards its corners (PixelSpace gains `extent`).
- Texturizer (texture Brick, Burlap, Canvas, Sandstone, default Canvas;
scaling % 50..200, 100; relief 0..50, 4; lightDirection Bottom, Bottom
Left, Left, Top Left, Top, Top Right, Right, Bottom Right, default Top;
invert): the object on a surface in relief. The four surfaces are height
fields generated in code (bricks in stretcher bond, plain weaves coarse
and fine, octaves of smooth noise); no image files. Load Texture is left
out.
Every pattern lies in document space around the object's centre, so the
result is the same at any zoom or raster resolution, moves with the object
and is identical on every redraw (hash noise of cell indices); slopes are
taken in document units. Work per pixel is bounded (a 5 x 5 cell search,
four or five height samples, box blurs); parameters are clamped to their
ranges and finite-checked. The Pixelate helpers (Place, the cell search,
the softened colours) are shared, Mezzotint uses the shared smooth noise,
and the effect dialogs' dropdowns translate their labels in an "effect"
context where the plain word means something else (Soft, Horizontal and
Vertical are type settings in Japanese and Chinese).
Catalogue rows with parameter docs, outsets and reaches, menu entries,
dropdowns (Grain Type, Texture, Light Direction), translations, tests
(parameters and clamping, cracks and contours, ten distinct grains, tiles
and grout, squares in relief, leaded panes and the centre light, the
textures lit and inverted, the same at twice the resolution and when
moved, canvas, multithreaded, PDF and SVG, the command sweep with junk
parameters, the dialogs and the menu) and ROADMAP.

the UI fonts lack, the first time a frame paints one (ui_fonts): reading
a system CJK font at every startup duplicated that, cost a font file's
read and memory for interfaces that never show CJK, and broke its test.

- Add missing Simplified and Traditional Chinese translations
- Add entries to other language catalogs for consistency
Artboard names are drawn at a fixed screen size above each artboard, so
zoomed out, where artboards shrink on screen, the names ran past them
and over their neighbours. A name is now no wider than its artboard on
screen, ending in an ellipsis when longer, and an artboard narrower
than 24 px shows none.

A graph's data can now hold blank cells: an empty CSV cell, a null in
`rows` (any cell that isn't a finite number), the rest of a short row,
or a row that has only a label.
- Columns, bars and stacked segments leave a blank cell out instead of
drawing a zero-height mark.
- Line and scatter graphs break their lines around it and draw no
marker there; the value axis ignores it.
- Area, pie and radar graphs draw it as 0, which is what it adds to
them.
The help pages don't describe blank cells, so this is our own choice:
a cell with no value has nothing to draw, which also matches how a
series with a missing year reads in a report.
In the file a blank cell keeps a 0 in `rows` and is listed in a new
`blanks` field ([category, series] pairs, written only when there are
any). A version that doesn't know blanks ignores the field and reads
the zeros, so files still open there, and files without blanks are
unchanged.
A number in straight quotes is a label, as the help page on graph
labels says (a year as a category name, for one). The CSV reader used
to strip the quotes first and read it as a value. Label columns are now
decided for the whole column: once any row starts with a label, every
row's first cell is its label, so a row with an empty label no longer
shifts its values one place left. The data window writes a header row,
labels that are empty, read as numbers or have spaces around them in
quotes, and blanks as empty cells, so they come back as they were.
graph.setData {} returns blanks in `rows` as null, so the rows it
returns can be edited and sent back. A label-only row keeps its place
with blank values; a row with neither a value nor a label is dropped,
and a first row that is a label followed by empty cells (`Year,,`) is
still read as a header with no series names.
The data grid is built in full for drawing and for the data window, so
it now stops at 10,000 categories of 256 series, which keeps a file
with one very long row from allocating without bound.
Behaviour (quoted labels): Add graph labels and data sets:

A /ForeignObject (non-native art: the content of a placed PDF, which
Illustrator shows but doesn't edit) was left out with a note. The
letterhead of #861 keeps its fan of swooshes that way: a radial gradient
in a 3-point PDF, scaled 271 times and clipped by the swoosh paths, so
the page lost its main graphic.
The reader now decodes the object's ASCII85 /Data, has the PDF importer
read the PDF, and fits its art to the object's box as a group named
"Non-native art": /Bounds measured from /Origin with y down, then
/RTransform, which lands exactly on the clipping paths around both
objects of that file; the PDF's content is kept in its own y-up
coordinates, so it is flipped into the box. Ids are the document's and
the PDF's swatches stay unlinked; its images join the document by
content key. A PDF that can't be read is left out with a note, as
before.
The EPS crate now uses the PDF crate (same layer; allowed in the layer
check like render and metafile).

Double-clicking a Scatter, Art or Pattern brush in the Brushes panel (or the
panel menu's Brush Options...) now opens its options dialog, as Calligraphic
and Bristle brushes already did. OK runs brush.options and every stroke
painted with the brush redraws.
- Scatter Brush Options: Name; Size (10-1000 %), Spacing (10-10000 %),
Scatter (-1000-1000 %) and Rotation (-180-180 deg), each Fixed (the first
value), Random (between the two values) or Pressure (the first value at
the lightest pen pressure, the second at the heaviest); Rotation relative
to Page or Path. Scatter brushes now keep these modes (`modes`); brushes
saved before keep their look (Random where the two values differ).
- Art Brush Options: Name; Width (1-1000 %); Scale Proportionately, Stretch
to Fit Stroke Length or Stretch Between Guides with the guides' Start and
End (% of the art length); the four Directions; Flip Along and Across.
- Pattern Brush Options: Name; Scale (1-10000 %), Spacing (0-10000 %); the
five tiles (Outer Corner, Side, Inner Corner, Start, End) drawn with their
art or None; Flip Along and Across; Stretch to fit, Add space to fit or
Approximate path.
- All three: Colorization (None, Tints, Tints and Shades, Hue Shift with its
Key Color picked from the art's colours, the most used one by default) and
a live preview of a stroke painted with the edited brush.
Brush definitions from files and commands are now kept within these ranges
(Brush::sanitize, also for Calligraphic and Bristle values); unknown modes,
directions, fits or colorization methods are refused. The brush.options and
ui.brushOptions docs list the new params and fields. Tests: the brush model
(modes, pressure, sanitizing, art colours), engine params reaching the
brush and strokes redrawing, junk params in command_sweep, and headless
dialog tests for each dialog.

New line graphs put their points at the centres of their categories, the
option's default in the reference app; graphs saved before the option
existed were drawn edge to edge and keep it (a field default of its own).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Line graphs take the Edge-to-Edge Lines option (`edgeToEdge` on
graph.setType). On, the lines run across the whole plot, which is how
they always drew and stays the default, so existing graphs and files
look the same. Off, the points sit at the centres of their categories,
like the columns of a column graph, so a line graph lines up with a
column graph of the same size. The page describes only what the option
does when on; the off position is its opposite.
Radar graphs drew their ring and markers whatever Mark Data Points and
Connect Data Points said. They now follow both, like line and scatter
graphs.
Behaviour: Format columns, bars, and lines, Graph Type options for
line, scatter and radar graphs (Mark Data Points, Edge-to-Edge Lines,
Connect Data Points):

The corner widgets only showed when the selection was exactly one path.
Now every selected path that has them shows its widgets: live rectangles
and polygons with the Selection tool, any path with Direct Selection,
each with its own corners (all of a path selected whole, the
Direct-Selected ones otherwise). Dragging any widget rounds every shown
corner of every path in one step, Alt-click cycles their kind, and the
red limit outline covers them all; a double-click opens Corners for the
path it was on. Each widget is drawn in its own layer's colour.
object.setLiveShape takes items: [{id, corners?}], several objects each
with its own corners, which the drag sends.

Search: a search field at the top of the Libraries panel filters the
current library's colours, character and paragraph styles and graphics
by name, ignoring case; groups without a match are hidden, groups with
one open, and a search nothing matches says so ("No results").
Groups: items can be put in user-named groups, kept in the library file
(`groups: [{name, items: [{kind, item}]}]`, left out when there are
none, so files written before groups load as they are). New commands:
library.createGroup {library?, name?, items?}, library.renameGroup
{library?, group, name}, library.deleteGroup {library?, group} (its
items stay, ungrouped) and library.moveItem {library?, kind, item,
group?}. An item is in one group at most; deleting an item takes it out
of its group. The panel shows each group as a collapsible section with
its item count after the ungrouped items (rename and delete on its
context menu), each item's context menu has Move to Group (No Group,
the groups, New Group...), and a New Group button sits in the footer.
library.get lists the groups, library.list counts them. The generic
command dialog takes fixed params in `__params` for this.
Export / import: library.export {library?, path?} writes a library
(colours, styles, graphics with art and thumbnails, groups) as a
.vclibrary file, the JSON the library folder keeps (without a path:
{data}); library.import {path | data | dataBase64, name?} adds one as a
new library, made current, numbered on a name clash ("Brand (2)").
The panel menu has Import Library... and Export Library..., through the
app's file dialogs (the web downloads, and picks through File > Open,
which now lists Libraries files). Imported and folder files are made
safe: at most 10,000 items of a kind and 1,000 groups, names clipped and
made unique, sizes finite, thumbnails kept only when their PNG header
says at most 1024 px a side, group entries naming missing items or
unknown kinds dropped; a file over 512 MB or that isn't a library is an
error. Paths go through the engine's file helpers (automation roots).
The importer is fuzzed (import_fuzz: garbage and mutated libraries).
Also fixed: the third graphic added to a library got the second's id
(`graphic-2` twice).
Docs: the commands' params docs, docs/mcp.md, ROADMAP.

Adds the Video group to the raster effects, after Sharpen:
- De-Interlace…: Eliminate Odd or Even Fields, Create New Fields by
Duplication or Interpolation. The fields are the rows of the document's
raster grid (Document Raster Effects Settings › Resolution, carried to
the filters as PixelSpace::line) counted from the top of the page, so
the result is the same at any zoom and moves with the page. A line
taken out copies the line above (the one below at the top), or takes
the average of the two.
- NTSC Colors (no options, applied at once): colours a composite
television signal can't carry, with luma plus chroma past 110 % of white
or luma minus chroma below -20 % in YIQ, have their chroma cut to fit,
keeping their luma. Saturated yellow, cyan and pure red lose some
saturation; legal colours stay as they are.
Catalogue rows with parameter docs, dialog dropdowns, menu, translations,
tests (effects, canvas, command sweep junk, menu) and ROADMAP.

In a PDF (or the PDF part of an .ai file), a glyph of a subset font that
no ToUnicode map, CID table or character map of the font program names
was drawn as outlines, so one text object came in split: "RADA" as the
type "ADA" plus the R's outline.
Such a glyph is now looked for in the installed face of the font's name:
the first character (of those single-byte fonts encode: ASCII, Latin-1,
Latin Extended-A, punctuation, the euro and trade mark signs, fi and fl)
whose glyph draws the same outline, point for point within 2/1000 em,
names it. A subset carries the font's own outlines, so an installed copy
of the same font finds every glyph. Other versions of the font, empty
glyphs and glyphs that are no character still keep their outlines, with
the warning as before. Results are cached per glyph.

A Direct Selection (or Group Selection) marquee only gathered the
anchors of paths, so type, images, symbols and other objects without
anchors to pick were never selected by it. They are now selected whole
when the marquee touches them, as with the Selection tool, next to the
path anchors it holds; locked and hidden objects stay out.

File › Place and File › Open read PSD and PSB files: the merged image
every such document carries after its layers, which is what a linked PSD
shows. A placed PSD links like any image, so the Links panel updates and
relinks it, and it is sized by its ResolutionInfo resource.
The reader is written from the public file format specification. It
reads Bitmap, Grayscale, Duotone, Indexed, RGB, CMYK (through the colour
settings' CMYK) and Lab, at 1, 8, 16 and 32 bits per channel (32-bit
values are linear), raw, PackBits or zipped with or without prediction.
A document with transparency stores its merged image on white with the
alpha in the first extra channel. It comes back with straight colours,
also for 16- and 32-bit files, which say so in their Lr16/Lr32 block.
Multichannel files are refused with a message. The file is untrusted:
every read is bounds-checked and the image's size is checked against
the decode budget before anything is allocated.
PSB is a read-only format of its own, so exports never write a PSD under
a .psb name. The desktop packaging still doesn't associate either
extension with VectorCraft (UNASSOCIATED_EXTS): they belong to raster
editors. Layers (import options) are left for later.

Both fields read their text from the tab stop again every frame, so each
keystroke was lost before Enter or a click away could apply it: the
field seemed to clear itself while typing. They now use the panels' text
field, which keeps the text being typed until it is committed. The
leader keeps spaces (". " for spaced dots), up to eight characters.

With both axisMin and axisMax set, the value axis now runs exactly from
one to the other, split into the tick count (5 when automatic). Before,
the override went through the same rounding as the calculated axis, so
asking for 0 to 12000 drew 0 to 12500 and the columns came out shorter
than the data. With only one bound set the axis is still calculated
around the data, as before.
Ticks are now counted from the minimum instead of added up, so the last
tick lands on the maximum (an offset range like 1e10..1e10+1 lost it to
rounding) and a step too small for the range can't loop forever. An
override too wide for f64 used to give a NaN axis and an internal error
in graph.setType ("min > max, or either was NaN"); it now falls back to
the calculated axis.
graph.setType {} also reports axisMin and axisMax.
Behaviour: Change graph value axes, Tick Values > Override Calculated
Values (minimum, maximum and divisions):

Preferences › File Handling › Update Links only acted when a document
opened, so a linked image edited in another app while VectorCraft stayed
open kept its old pixels until Update Link in the Links panel, even with
Automatically chosen.
When the window comes back to the front, the active document's links
are now checked. With Automatically, changed files are read again; with
Ask When Modified, they are offered for update, once per change of a
file (keyed by path, size and modification time, since two saves can
share a time); with Manually, the Links panel shows them as modified.
Nothing is asked while a dialog is open.

Four Photoshop-style raster effects on the pixel-filter pipeline
(vectorcraft_effects::pixel::pixelate), under a new Effect › Pixelate
submenu between Blur and Sharpen in the Raster Effects section:
- Color Halftone (maxRadius 4..127, default 8; channel1..channel4 screen
angles -360..360, defaults 108/162/90/45): each colour channel is
screened at its angle in square cells sized so a dot of Max. Radius
fills one; each cell's dot covers the share of the cell that is the
channel's coverage-weighted mean there (white stays white, black
black). RGB documents screen R, G, B (channels 1 to 3); CMYK documents
screen C, M, Y, K inks (channels 1 to 4), also when they are drawn ink
plane by ink plane (the K plane uses channel 4).
- Crystallize (cellSize 3..300, default 10): every pixel takes the
colour at the nearest of one jittered point per cell (exact Voronoi
over a 5 x 5 neighbourhood, pruned by distance).
- Mezzotint (type: Fine/Medium/Grainy/Coarse Dots, Short/Medium/Long
Lines, Short/Medium/Long Strokes; default Fine Dots; a dropdown in the
dialog): each channel is turned fully on or off against its own random
threshold pattern, so the object becomes pure colours.
- Pointillize (cellSize 3..300, default 5): one dot of random size per
cell at a jittered point, coloured by the softened object there and as
opaque as the object at its centre, stacked in random order over a
white canvas where the object is.
Lengths are in points (Scale Strokes & Effects scales them) and every
pattern lies in document space around the object's centre, so the
result is the same at any zoom or raster resolution, moves with the
object, and is identical on every redraw (hash noise of the pattern's
cell indices, no state). Work per pixel is bounded whatever the
parameters, which are clamped to their ranges and finite-checked; the
halftone's cell grid is capped by the raster's size and a screen finer
than 3 pixels leaves the image as it is (its average). PixelSpace gains
`channels` so the renderer tells the filters what the channels hold.
Catalogue rows with parameter docs, outsets and reaches for cropping,
menu entries, dialog labels (Max. Radius, Channel 1-4, Cell Size), the
Mezzotint Type dropdown, translations, and tests: parameters and
clamping, tone and coverage, CMYK inks, polygon crystals, pure-colour
mezzotints with ten distinct patterns, dots on a white canvas, the same
result at twice the resolution and when moved, the canvas, PDF and SVG
through the engine, the command sweep with junk parameters, the dialogs
and the menu.

Painting looked up each selected object's graph by walking up through
parent_of, a search of the whole document per level, so a fill or stroke
change on a large selection grew with the square of the document. The
series art of every graph is now mapped in one pass, and documents with
no graph skip the lookup.
A series index comes from the file: one past the graph's series grew the
graph's series paints to that length. Such a group is no longer taken
for a series.

Group Selection's fill and stroke on a graph series are kept on the graph,

Effect › Distort & Transform › Transform… was a plain list of fields.
It now has Transform Each's layout: Scale and Move with sliders, Rotate
with an angle dial, then Copies, Reflect X and Y, the reference point and
Random, kept with the effect so editing it from the Appearance panel
shows them again.
- The effect scales, rotates and reflects about the chosen point of the
9-point grid (`reference`, the centre by default).
- Random takes a share of each value, drawn from the object's id: each
object varies its own way and keeps its result on every redraw; a
group's members move together.
- Copies stop before one reaches past 1e9 pt, and the scale and move are
capped, so large values can't overflow.
- Transform Each and the effect share the sections and options code; the
angle dial is a new widget.
- A plain number field now takes the focus when it is a dialog's first
field, so both dialogs open with Scale › Horizontal ready for typing.
Transform Objects, Transform Patterns and Scale Strokes & Effects are not
in the effect yet: the geometry effects reshape paths only.

vectorcraft-cli mcp and vectorcraft --control take the flags PhotoCraft
takes. While roots are in force, every path a command reads (open, place,
relink, SVG image links, library and profile loads, plug-ins, preset
imports, font searches) must lie inside the read root and every path it
writes (save, export, package, Export for Screens and for Web, print to
file, captures, library saves) inside the write root. Paths are made
absolute, links are followed (a missing file's nearest folder's), and the
result is compared by whole components, ignoring case on Windows; `..`
below a missing folder, dangling links and device names are refused. A
root left out grants none of its access; without the flags nothing
changes.
The checks live in one place, vectorcraft_engine::file_access, consulted
by the engine's file helpers and the app's file services. The headless
server confines its whole process; the app confines control requests,
the frames carrying input they inject and the background saves they
start, leaving the person at the keyboard and the app's own folders
alone. The screenshot tool now has the backend write its file.

The Flare tool keeps its options (Center: Diameter, Opacity, Brightness;
Halo: Growth, Fuzziness; Rays: on/off, Number, Longest, Fuzziness; Rings:
on/off, Path, Number, Largest, Direction) as persistent tool options,
saved with the preferences. The next flare dragged out uses them (the drag
still sets the centre and diameter, and Up/Down the ray count), a click
with the tool opens them filled in, and double-clicking the tool (or
tool.options {tool: "flare"}) opens them to edit: OK keeps them and draws
nothing. Before, the click dialog was the generic parameter form with
fixed defaults and the drag always used the command's defaults.
The new Flare Tool Options dialog lays the four groups out in two
columns; Rays and Rings have their checkboxes, and every value is kept
within its range. Its labels are translated in the eight complete

A selected live polygon now shows Illustrator's Polygon Properties in the

angle, corner type and radius, radius, side length and Make Sides Equal
(enabled once an uneven scale has made its sides differ). Before, only the
side count and corner radius were there.
object.setLiveShape takes polygonAngle (degrees counterclockwise),
polygonRadius and sideLength (points, centre to vertex / side) and
makeSidesEqual, which drops the uneven scale and shear and keeps the
polygon's centre, angle and mean radius. Each call is one undo step; a
radius or length that isn't a number above 0 is an error. A star stays a
plain path, as in Illustrator.

Double-clicking a brush in the Brushes panel (or the panel menu's Brush

The Paintbrush records the pen pressure along a stroke (path.freehand

Brushes saved before keep their Random variation. Pen pressure doesn't

The renderer composited in 8-bit integers, so where a partly transparent

composite in floating point (vello_cpu's f32 pipeline, enabled as a

the faster 8-bit path.

The Curvature tool only edited the path it was drawing. It now edits any
selected path, whatever drew it, keeping its shape except where edited:
a click on a point makes it the current (direct-selected) point and a
drag moves it, re-curving only its two segments (the neighbours keep
their handle directions); Alt-click or double-click toggles it smooth or
corner and Delete removes it; a click on a segment adds a smooth point
without changing the shape, and a drag moves it in the same undo step.
With an end of an open path current, clicks go on from it (the old
segments keep their shape) and a click on the other end closes it.
The edits go through a new path.curvatureEdit command (move, insert,
extend, close), path.convertAnchor and path.removeAnchor, one undo step
each. The tool now claims Delete/Backspace while it has a point to
remove, so the key no longer deletes the whole path.

The ROADMAP's last-updated line names this batch's fixes and the two
community PRs that didn't add themselves (#792, #765); the platforms
paragraph says Windows starts on Direct3D 12 and loads no Vulkan driver
unless asked (#806); the guides row has ruler guides with Smart Guides
on and the hover labels (#812). Window › Swatch Libraries › Other
Library's description lists .acb color books (#831).

With Smart Guides on, hovering the Selection tool near an object's centre
or one of its anchors now labels it ("center", "anchor"), as
Illustrator does, and a press there grabs the object by that point, so
the point follows the pointer and snaps.

A raster effect painted below its object (Drop Shadow, Outer Glow) is
written as an image under the object's vector art. The image was
rendered over nothing and placed with Normal blending, so a Screen glow
or a Multiply shadow came out as Normal in the PDF. Each image is now
composited with its effects' blend mode, one image per mode when an
object's shadows and glows use several.

Drawing with Smart Guides on ignored the ruler guides: only with Smart
Guides off did Snap to Point use them (a vertical guide seemed to work
when it lay on the artboard's centre line, which Smart Guides follow).
With Snap to Point on, the ruler guides now pull drawn and dragged
points with Smart Guides on too, also while a point slides along a
construction guide or Shift's angle, as in Illustrator.

A run (vectorcraft-cli run, the MCP command_batch tool) had no way to use
an id an earlier step returned. A parameter string that is exactly
$N.path or $last.path now takes that value from step N's result
(0-based), e.g. {"id":"$1.id"}; $$ starts a literal $, and a
reference to nothing fails the step. Objects given to a command are now
used as given: an ids element or id that isn't an object id (or an
unresolved reference) fails instead of the command acting on the
selection. text.setRangeStyle styles the selected type object when no
id is given, as text.setStyle does.

Opening a file that fails (File › Open, Open Recent, the Home screen, a
drop, the Finder or the command line) only set the status bar's

agent's file.open {path} still just answers with the error.

Color books such as the Pantone books a user owns (.acb) couldn't be
opened. They are now read (never written), from public descriptions of
the format: their RGB, CMYK or Lab colors, named with the book's prefix

them as process colors, leaving out the pages' unnamed padding. They
open from Window › Swatch Libraries › Other Library…, File › Open and
the user library folder like .ase files.

While a group or layer was isolated, clicks, hovers and drags still
reached the art outside it, and that art drew as usual. Now only the
isolated container's contents hit: the art around it is locked and
clicks pass through it. On the canvas it draws at half opacity, above
the group as well as below, each run of it as one dimmed layer.

With type selected, the Properties panel's Paragraph section had only
Align Left, Center and Right. It now has the Paragraph panel's seven

Align to Key Object and Align to Artboard worked only from the Align

They are now one set of buttons that follow Align To (and the key
object), and the Properties panel's Align section gets the "…" button
that opens the Align panel for Distribute and Align To.

In the gradient stop popover (and the Color panel), clicking a recent
colour replaced the whole gradient with that colour, while the sliders,
spectrum and Black and White chips recoloured the selected stop. The
recent colours now go through the Color panel's target like the chips.
The Swatches panel's recent colours still paint the fill or stroke, as
its swatches do.

Opened from a stop on the Gradient tool's annotator, the colour popover

only when there is none.

With Rotate View, each ruler measured document x (or y) along a line
that crossed both axes: its ticks covered only a short stretch and the
numbers bunched up. Each ruler now measures along its own edge in the
canvas's coordinates turned with the view, so it is ticked over its
whole length at every angle, and reads x and y as before at 0°.

The dialog's W and H fields send decimal numbers (300.0) and the settings

With the Artboard tool, the active artboard's name was drawn twice: by

Creating a Vulkan instance loads every installed Vulkan driver into the
process, and a faulty one (Intel's igvk64.dll) crashed VectorCraft

Before deciding to use the layers of an Illustrator file, the import
drew them again for each text object made from the file's text
document, to see whether the page draws it. When the layers differ from
the page by more than the check allows even with every such object
gone (taking one out only changes what is drawn in its box), the
layers aren't used whatever is taken out: that weighing is now
skipped.

Gaussian Blur and Feather drew through a filter layer whose blur works on
a coarser grid tied to the canvas: the blurred art moved by up to about
a pixel, and its steps showed, as the view moved by parts of a pixel
(scrolling, zooming about the pointer). They now blur the content's own
pixels on the CPU, as the Photoshop-style effects already do: the same
look wherever the view is, cached while only the view moves.

Raw app.quit closed the window and answered null at once, so a client

The effect versions of Offset Path, Zig Zag and Roughen showed Joins and

Illustrator EPS and .ai type is made whole from the file's text
document, shown or hidden: point type, area type (a story in several
frames as threaded type that flows when the file opens) and type on a
path, with its fonts, size, leading, tracking, scaling, baseline shift,
fill and stroke colours (grey, RGB or CMYK), alignment, indents and
paragraph spacing. The page's drawing of that type, often in pieces, is
left out; where the text document can't say, type that shows still
comes from the page.

The output multiplied the glow's colour by its opacity a second time, so outside the shape (where

The edge filter read `y * w + x` for x = w (the next row's first pixel)

Add Fonts adds only files a folder search found.
- macOS declares .suit as the extension of a font suitcase
(com.apple.font-suitcase), and the font scan reads a suitcase
whatever its name. A search considered only suitcases without an
extension. It now also considers files whose extension is .suit, in
any letter case, and reads one only when it is a suitcase font.
- Add Fonts copies at most 256 MB a file. A search also read larger
font files, and a search that found one for a font could end before
it found a smaller copy. A search now skips font files over 256 MB.
Docs: docs/mcp.md.
A folder search reads at most 8 MB of each font file. The suitcase
reader reads a suitcase font's resource fork whole, up to 256 MB.
Before this change, the search applied its limit to each font only
after that read. One search thread could read 256 MB from a single
suitcase and hold a copy of its fonts as well. The search now reads a
suitcase font only when its resource fork is 8 MB or less. The font
scan still reads each suitcase font's resource fork whole, up to
256 MB.
Docs: docs/mcp.md.
When a document opens with fonts that aren't available, fonts used
only in its symbols included, VectorCraft lists them in a Missing
Fonts dialog after the missing linked file questions, one document at
a time, with Find Fonts and Close. Find Fonts opens Type › Find Font
on the first missing font of the layers' type, to replace it. After
Find Fonts or Close the dialog doesn't open again for that open; when
another dialog replaces it, it opens again once that dialog closes.
Search Fonts Folder (the Fonts folder File › Package writes next to
the document) and Find in Folder… search a folder and its subfolders
for the fonts' files, and Add Fonts copies the files the user chooses
into a Fonts folder next to the preferences. The desktop app and
vectorcraft-cli read that folder with the system's font folders. Type
› Find Font has a Find in Folder… button too when fonts the document
uses are missing. The web app shows no dialog; a status message says
how many fonts aren't available.
- text.missingFonts lists each missing family and style once,
whatever version the document's type names, and leaves out CSS
generic families such as sans-serif. text.findFontFiles searches a
folder on up to 8 threads and returns at once; text.findFontFiles {}
reports the search, and {stop: true} stops it. A search reads only
what the font scan reads of font files (their table directories and
name, fvar and OS/2 tables) and, on macOS, of suitcase fonts, and
lists a file for a font only when the file makes the font resolve
exactly. It does not enter app packages, the Program Files and
ProgramData folders, the system's folders at the root of a volume,
the Shared and Public folders in Users, a home folder's Library,
AppData, Applications, snap and dot folders, a Library folder's app
data folders or the folders the environment names for apps, and it
skips other hidden folders and does not follow links below the
picked folder. It ends after 60 s by default, after 10,000,000
entries listed, with more than 1,000,000 folders waiting, after
10,000 font files read or 1,000 kept, or once every font has a file;
Stop and Close end it too.
- text.addFontFiles copies only files the last search found. Of
those, it copies only regular .ttf, .otf, .ttc, .otc, .woff and
.woff2 files and suitcase fonts with their resource fork, at most
256 MB a file and 1 GB in all. It never replaces a file: a file with
the same contents is kept, and when another file has that name, the
copy gets a number (Name 2.otf). The fonts are then scanned again,
and type set in them redraws.
- ui.missingFontsDialog and ui.findFontsInFolder open the dialog for
agents; docs/control-protocol.md lists its fields.
- File › Package gives a font file whose name has no font extension
the extension that matches its data (.ttf, .otf or .ttc).
- vectorcraft-text adds set_app_font_dir, which system_font_dirs
reads, WantedFonts, which reads a font file's names as the font scan
does, is_font_file and is_suitcase. #762 split its face reader, which
now takes read budgets: file_face_names_within tries the suitcase
reader first, and reader_face_names_within applies the budgets to
each font. vectorcraft-format adds write_new_with.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/control-protocol.md, ROADMAP.
The PDF part of an .ai stands in for the editable document, whose art crossing
the artboard edge isn't clipped, so it keeps opening whole and editable (#646).
Plain PDFs still get the clip to the crop box. path_count is back to counting

A clip to the page box is dropped as redundant (by hayro, and by
push_clip_path), so art a file hides outside the page - a mock-up backdrop
thousands of points across, say - came in unclipped: it showed, and it sized
Fit to Artwork Bounds and CropTo::Bounding to metres. Viewers show a page
through its crop box, so each object reaching past it now keeps its own clip
to it, with a warning. Art inside the page is unchanged (no clip groups).

A letterhead saved by Illustrator 28 without PDF compatibility wouldn't
open: "its editing data can't be read (it ends inside a layer)". Its
layer starts with a /ForeignObject (non-native art: the content of a
placed PDF), whose /Data entry is the PDF as ASCII85 in comment lines.
ASCII85 includes `_`, so about one line in 85 starts with `%_`, which
the lexer reads as hidden tokens; a `(` in such a line opened a string
that swallowed the dictionary's end, the rest of the art and the
layer's LB.
The reader now skips to the data's `~>` after `/Data ,` in a
/ForeignObject, as it already did for a /Binary dictionary's ASCII85,
and leaves the non-native art out with a note (nothing draws its PDF
from the editing data yet).

- Fit to Artwork Bounds fits the art exports draw: hidden objects and
layers, guides and template layers don't count, and the bounds stop at
a layer's clip.
- The comparison with the page catches an object one draws that the
other doesn't (pixels whose neighbours all differ, away from type), a
light colour against white, and, for an EPS whose page is its art's
box, art the layers print outside it.
- textAs: outlines opens a .ai whose type shows from its PDF part, which
has the outlines.
- document.open takes editingData: false to open an Illustrator EPS or
.ai as its page or PDF part only, for print pipelines.

On a desktop with a Ryzen integrated GPU without a monitor and an NVIDIA
card driving both monitors, Automatic (power saving on Windows) picked
the integrated GPU; Windows presented every frame across adapters and
the integrated GPU's driver reset, losing the graphics device or taking
every monitor down for minutes (same bug as pdfcraft#378).
Automatic now asks the system which GPU drives which display (Windows:
EnumDisplayDevices through winsafe; Linux: /sys/class/drm) and ranks the
GPU driving a display, and among those the primary display's, ahead of
the power preference. Where the system can't say, or no adapter's PCI
ids match (OpenGL, Metal), the order is the power preference's as
before, so nothing gets worse. Power Saving and High Performance chosen
by the user, and WGPU_POWER_PREF, keep ordering by kind alone.
The log now lists the display GPUs, which adapters drive a display, and
the adapter drawn on with the reason, the first question in every
black-window report. Tests cover the device-id parser, the rankings
(desktop with all monitors on the discrete GPU, hybrid laptop, a monitor
on each GPU, no match), the sysfs reader and a live EnumDisplayDevices
call.

The styles were stored on the text and written to SVG's text-decoration,
but the type was drawn without the lines. vectorcraft_text::decorations

metrics (with fallbacks for fonts that have none). The canvas, Create

swatch.library.copyToUser {library} copies a library loaded from
another folder into the user library folder of the desktop app. A
.vcswatches, .gpl or .ase file is copied as it is; the swatches of a
document and a library loaded from the data or dataBase64 parameter are
written as a .vcswatches file. The copy gets a name that no file in the
folder has, and when a file with the same extension and bytes is
already there, that file is used. The library is then listed as User
Defined only. Until the app quits, commands given its loaded id use the
copy, unless another library is loaded under that id. Without a user
library folder (the web and headless sessions) the command is disabled.
A file with the same extension and bytes as a User Defined library
opens as that User Defined library. The unchanged original of a copied
.ase file is one such file. Graphic style libraries open the same way.
An ellipse kept pie angles in its model, but nothing drew or set them. Now

counterclockwise on screen from the start angle (0 at 3 o'clock) to the
end angle and closes through the centre; 0 to 360 is the whole ellipse,
an end of 0 means 360, and Invert Pie swaps the angles to show the other
part. One undo step each; a bad angle is an error. The labels are
translated in every complete language. The on-canvas pie widget is still

A font library can hold two versions of one family and style (a new
Montserrat-Bold.ttf beside an old montserrat.ttf). The font database kept
only the first one loaded, so type set in the other couldn't be matched
when a PDF or .ai was opened: it came in as outlines. Now every version
loads (the first stays the one family and style resolve to), PDF import
tries the other versions when the glyphs differ, and type set in a version
the family and style alone wouldn't pick names it in CharStyle::font_version
(left out when None, so documents without it are unchanged). Layout,
shaping, the substituted-glyph highlight, Find Font, Package and Document
Info follow it; changing the font clears it.

- Artboard Options listed its fields by key (Height, Name, Width); it now
lists Name, then Width and Height.
- One-key tool and command shortcuts (V, P, X, D…) matched the character

the key's position stands in: the V key selects the Selection tool
whatever it types. Latin layouts (AZERTY…) keep the letter typed.

key_equivalents_run_through_the_normal_shortcut_path_once failed about one
full ui-egui run in four ("the menus weren't read again", 5 vs 4). Each
app mirrors its shortcut overrides into a process-wide store every frame,
bumping shortcut_editor::GENERATION, and the plug-in registry's revision is
process-wide too. Tests running alongside with other shortcuts flip them,
which rightly makes the menus read again. The test now checks two idle
frames during which those generations held still (trying up to 50 times),
so it still fails if idle frames re-read the menus on their own.

As in Illustrator, the Pen shows its continue cursor over an end of any
open path, selected or not, and a click there selects the path and draws
on from that end (reversing it from its first end). While drawing, it
shows a join cursor over an end of another open path, and a click joins
the two into one path, in one undo step, which finishes the path.
path.join takes {ids: [a, b], ends: ["first"|"last", "first"|"last"]}
to join the ends asked for (the Pen's join); without them it joins the
selected paths' nearest ends as before. Joining a path with itself, or
anything that isn't a path, is an error.

Object › Crop Image and the image's Crop Image buttons (Control bar,

artboard; its handles and its inside drag it, always within the image, and
the image outside it is dimmed. The Control bar shows its X/Y/W/H with

File › Package and Document Info › Font Details looked fonts up with
FontDb::face and compared the face's family with the name the document
stores. A font a document named by another of its names (a PostScript
or localized name, as SVG and PDF files do) was reported as not
available and left out of the package, although the canvas drew it and
exports embedded it.
- Package and Font Details resolve fonts with FontDb::resolve, as
text.fonts and the renderer do. A style the family lacks is still
copied as its closest style; the report now names the style it
copies, and Font Details lists the font as substituted, with that
style's file and permission.
- FontFace::embeddable reads fsType as exports do (Embedding), so fonts
that allow bitmap embedding only (bit 9), or that set the restricted
bit together with reserved bit 0 (0x0003), are no longer copied.
Document Info's permission labels follow the same rule: when a font
sets more than one usage bit, the label names the most permissive
one.
- The Package dialog and its status line name the fonts it didn't copy.
The source audit linked commercial template listings and other pages it
didn't use, and described the environment it ran in. Keep the two sources
the corpus uses, say in a sentence what kinds of sources were left out and
why, and state plainly that reopening our output in Affinity is still to do.

The font scan read only the macOS font folders and the Additional
Fonts Folder, so fonts that apps and font managers register with
CoreText from their own folders were missing from the font menus, and
exports set such type in the fallback font. CoreText's font manager
lists them with the installed fonts.
- `mac_fonts.rs` lists the files of the fonts the font manager has
available (`CTFontManagerCopyAvailableFontURLs`, through
objc2-core-text), keeping only file URLs as `open_documents.rs` does
(#433). The desktop app and `vectorcraft-cli` install it as they
install the DirectWrite lister on Windows, and the scan reads the
files outside the font folders in place.
- The scan leaves out faces with no outlines the font engine draws (no
glyf, CFF, CFF2 or VARC table), on every platform. CoreText lists
Apple's PingFang UI interface font (macOS 27), whose outlines are in
an hvgl table; if the scan cataloged it, PingFang SC would count as
installed, and Chinese characters in fallback text, Japanese kanji
included, would draw blank.
- Tests: the list holds the installed fonts by full path, a font
registered from another folder is listed while it is registered, and
a face without outlines the engine draws isn't cataloged.
The Save Swatch Library dialog lists Swatch Exchange (.ase) as a
format, and swatch.library.save takes format: "ase" or a path ending
in .ase. Each solid color keeps its model (RGB, CMYK, Lab or Gray) and
its type (spot, global or process), and color groups stay groups.
Gradients and patterns are left out, and a tint swatch is written as
the color it shows. Without a path or user: true, the command returns
the file as dataBase64.
A swatch exchange library opens under the name of its file. When Save
Swatch Library or Save Graphic Style Library saves to a file, the save
panel suggests the Name from the dialog as the file name, as a save to
User Defined does, and the web app downloads the file under that name.
A name made only of dots and spaces, such as "...", gives the file name
Library (Library.vcswatches) in place of a hidden file.
palette_io::write returns the file's bytes. A property test writes
generated libraries and reads them back, and an import fuzz test loads
mutated copies of a file the writer wrote.
Clippy 1.99.0 added `chunks_exact_to_as_chunks`, which fails `cargo xtask ci`
at its clippy step. Eight uses of `chunks_exact(_mut)` with a constant size now
use `as_chunks(_mut)` (stable since 1.88, within the 1.95 minimum): four in
crates/affinity, three in crates/effects and crates/engine tests, and two in
xtask's sha256. docs/development.md says the gate targets the current stable.

References can share data, so a damaged fork could make the scan copy one
large resource up to 256 times: cap the total copied like the fork itself.
Off macOS no file has a fork, so the scan doesn't look at each font file twice.

With View › Snap to Grid on, a selection moved with the Selection, Group
Selection or Direct Selection tool lands on the grid: on each axis,
whichever of its two edges and its centre is nearest a gridline (every
subdivision, 9 pt by default) moves onto it. Snap to Grid takes over from
Smart Guides and Snap to Point while it is on, as it does for drawn points.

The test took the first installed family that isn't bundled and expected its
PDF text to stay live. The PDF doesn't embed the font, so the page draws a
stand-in and text stays live only where the installed font's glyphs match it.
With suitcase fonts now found, the first family on a Mac is a condensed
display face whose glyphs don't, so the importer rightly kept outlines and the
test failed. Which family comes first depends on the machine's fonts: the test
now tries up to 200 families and checks the first that stays live.

Replace the Trunk post_build hook packaging/web/copy-fonts.sh with `cargo xtask web-fonts` (xtask/src/web_fonts.rs), so the web build only needs trunk, the wasm32 target and cargo, with no POSIX shell, and works the same on Windows.
The new task reuses crates/text/build/web_fonts.rs for list parsing and URLs, so build.rs and the copier can't disagree on fonts/<sha16>/<file>. It still does nothing without CRAFT_FONTS_DIR, checks each file's SHA-256 against the manifest, and copies the licence next to each face. A listed face that an older craft-fonts checkout lacks is now skipped with a warning, as build.rs does, instead of failing the build. A relative CRAFT_FONTS_DIR is resolved from the workspace root.
Update the references in Trunk.toml, fonts.rs, build.rs, craft_fonts.rs and web-fonts.txt, and document the web build's requirements in docs/development.md. Add tests for the copy, a hash mismatch and the no-op case.

macOS lists fonts such as the ones Microsoft Office installs in
/Library/Fonts/Microsoft (Bookman Old Style, Impact, Georgia, Tahoma, ...) but
their files have nothing in the data fork and no font extension: the fonts are
`sfnt` resources in the resource fork. The font scan only read data forks of
.ttf/.otf/.ttc/.otc files, so those families were never cataloged and a file
using one (an EPS naming BookmanOldStyle-Bold) showed the font as missing.
The scan now catalogs a file with an empty data fork and a resource fork by
the fonts in that fork, and loading reads them the same way. The fork reader
(crates/text/src/suitcase.rs) follows Apple's published resource file format,
caps what a damaged fork can make it read and never panics. macOS only.
Tests: the fork reader on a synthetic fork built around a bundled font,
including truncated and garbage forks; a macOS scan of a suitcase file.

Double-clicking the MSI used to flash a progress bar and close, so users couldn't tell it had
installed. It now opens a wizard: Welcome, install folder (remembered across upgrades), Ready,
progress, and a Finish page that says where to find the app with a ticked "Launch VectorCraft"
box. Every page names the full version, pre-release tag included. The wizard art is drawn from
the app icon at package time; msiexec /qn still installs silently.

Each comparison of the layers' art with the page made a new renderer and
drew both again, so the page was drawn and every image decoded once per
text object weighed, plus once more for the final check. The page is now
drawn once, and the layers keep one renderer (with its decoded images)
across their draws. The page's images keep a renderer of their own, as
their keys can match the layers' without their pixels doing so.

The Libraries panel was a placeholder: it invited dragging art onto it,
but nothing happened. It now keeps local libraries (no account, no
cloud), as Illustrator's Libraries panel does:
- drag art off the canvas (or a swatch) onto the panel to add it, or use
+ to add the selection's graphic, fill or stroke colour, character
style or paragraph style;
- drag a graphic onto the canvas (or double-click it) to place a copy,
click a colour to paint the selection through the active Fill/Stroke
proxy, click a style to apply it to the selected type;
- the library picker and the panel menu create, rename and delete
libraries; each is a .vclibrary file in a Libraries folder next to the
preferences (session-only in the web app, headless sessions and runs
without preferences).
Engine: library.list/get/setCurrent/create/rename/delete/add/use/
removeItem. A graphic is stored as a native document with a thumbnail:
adding copies as Copy does and placing pastes as Paste does, resources
and swatch-name conflicts included. Using a style adds it to the
document and applies it in one undo step.
Clipboard::to_document gave its layer the id u64::MAX, which made a
saved copy overflow Document::fix_next_id when read back; the layer now
takes an id above the objects', and fix_next_id saturates.

Desktop builds made with CRAFT_FONTS_DIR now load craft-fonts' 12 Arabic families into the document font database. Noto Sans Arabic comes first and is the fallback for Arabic text. Cairo, Tajawal, Almarai, IBM Plex Sans Arabic, Noto Kufi Arabic, Amiri, Alexandria, Fustat, Reem Kufi, Aref Ruqaa and Gulzar can be picked by name from the font menus.
The web build doesn't embed these fonts because they would make the wasm too large. It fetches them from beside the wasm instead:
- crates/text/web-fonts.txt lists each face as startup or background.
- build.rs turns that list into vectorcraft_text::WEB_FONTS, with each face's URL (fonts/<sha16>/<file>) and SRI hash taken from the craft-fonts manifest.
- packaging/web/copy-fonts.sh, a Trunk post_build hook, copies the font files and their OFL licences there.
- apps/vectorcraft-web/src/fonts.rs fetches Noto Sans Arabic before the app starts, so Arabic text never shows as boxes. It loads the other faces in the background and logs `web font …` for any that fail.
Because fonts can now arrive after startup, the Type tool's layout cache also checks the font database's generation, so text lays out again when new fonts arrive.
_headers and .htaccess serve fonts/* as font/ttf and cache it as immutable. packaging/web/README.md and docs/development.md explain the fonts folder, and ROADMAP.md lists the Arabic typefaces under Type. Also adds Ahmed Moussa to contributors/people.toml.

With more documents open than the tab strip holds, the tabs past its

A text matrix that shears the glyphs (type turned and slanted as a whole)
came in as point type turned by the baseline's angle only: the glyphs stood
square on the baseline, so the type drew somewhere else (60 pt type leaning
by 0.25 came back about 10 pt off its outlines). The placement now keeps the
slant (the em's lean along the baseline per unit of its height, the height
measured across the baseline), lines only join glyphs with the same slant,
and the type object's transform shears by it.

The PDF writer defaulted to Convert Text to Outlines, so every glyph of
every page became a path: a text-heavy PDF grew several times larger on
export (a 7-page document went from 27 KB to 226 KB) and its text could
no longer be selected or searched. Illustrator's PDF presets embed font
subsets and keep live text; that is now the default too
(advanced.outlineText: false). Outlining stays available as an option,
fonts that can't be embedded still become outlines with a warning, and
printer's marks (page information) are drawn as shapes as before.

`artboard.setProps {scaleArt: true}` maps the art fully inside a resized
artboard (as Move Artwork with Artboard gathers it) and its artboard guides
from the old rectangle onto the new one, each side by its own ratio, in one
undo step, and returns the ids scaled. Strokes, effects and corners follow
Scale Strokes & Effects and Scale Corners (`strokes`, `corners`), pattern tiles
Transform Pattern Tiles (`patterns`); locked and hidden art follows
`lockedAndHidden` (default: prefs moveLockedWithArtboard). The resolved choices
are journaled, so a replay scales the same objects the same way. A move that
keeps the size scales nothing.
The Artboard tool's `scaleArt` option (saved with `moveArt`) makes handle
drags proportional, as the public help describes, keeps them proportional at
the 1 pt minimum, and leaves the scaled art out of the Smart Guide targets.
Move and Scale Artwork with Artboard are check boxes in the Control bar and
Properties' Edit Artboards; the artboard size fields there and in the
Transform panel pass the option. Translated in the eight catalogs that have
Move Artwork with Artboard. docs/mcp.md and the ROADMAP updated.

During a Selection-tool drag the bounding box and its handles stayed on
screen while the art moved, so the content looked as if it slid inside
a box of its own. The box now hides once a drag moves, scales or
rotates the selection, as in Illustrator, and comes back on release. A
press that hasn't moved, and a marquee, keep it. Tools gain
`transforming()` (Session::tool_transforming) for this.

Designers coming from page layout apps expect Cmd+Shift+B to bold the
text they are editing. Type > Bold and Type > Italic switch the selected
type (or the Type tool's selection) to its family's own Bold or Italic
face, and back to the regular weight or upright face when it already is,
keeping the face's other words (a Narrow face stays Narrow). There is no
fake bold or slant: a family without the face is left as it is and the
status bar says so. While the Type tool edits text, Cmd+Shift+B and
Cmd+Shift+I apply them; elsewhere Cmd+Shift+B still hides the bounding
box. Both can be given other shortcuts in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.

The Tabs panel's ruler was a fixed strip in the panel, at no relation to
the text on the canvas, so stops couldn't be placed by eye. Above Text
(Position Panel Above Text) floats the panel just above the selected
text, as wide as its ruler needs to put 0 on the text's left edge and
its marks at the canvas zoom: each stop sits over the column it sets.
Floating panel groups keep a width they are given.

Such a file's PDF part is a placeholder page, which was refused. When
the file carries editing data, it now opens from that alone: its
structure as a PDF-compatible file's, its point type made from the text

with pages picked or layers off, the placeholder is refused as before;
damaged editing data says so.

The layers reader of the editing copy (operators translated into
PostScript for the interpreter, any file with RGB colours, gradients,
transparency or images falling back to its page) is replaced by a reader
of the whole structure (import/ai): layers and sublayers with their
options, groups, compound paths, clipping groups and layer clipping,
names, hidden and locked objects, RGB, CMYK, grey, named and spot
colours, gradients, transparency, fill rule, overprint, embedded images
with their alpha channel, guides and every artboard, and objects drawn
as their look when they have several fills or strokes, effects or a
brush. Containers: Zstandard, zlib or plain data in EPS and .ai.
The text placement, the comparison with the page and the overwrite guard
stay around it. The page's type takes its text object's place without a
group; the comparison is by lightness, on nothing, without layers that
don't print. Symbols, pattern fills, placed files and unknown operators
make the file come in as its page where they show, and are left out of
layers that don't.

An Illustrator EPS is a flattened page plus, after %%EOF, an editing copy of
the document; a PDF-compatible .ai carries the same in its private data.
Importing only the page lost layer names, order, visibility, hidden layers
and hidden objects and hidden text.
- eps: read the editing copy (Zstandard %AI24_DataStream, older zlib
%AI9_DataStream) into layers, sublayers, groups, compound paths, clip
groups and hidden objects, run by the existing PostScript interpreter.
Falls back to the page, with a warning, when a shown layer uses an
operator that isn't read or the art differs from the page by over 5%.
- eps: read the text document (ate.rs) to place type on hidden layers and
objects; the page's type is matched to the file's text objects by
position (pieces of a line included) and kept with the nearest one when
none claims it. Area type and type on a path are left out with a note.
- pdf/engine: .ai files go through the same reader.
- engine/cli: a file whose import left things out isn't overwritten unless
asked (acknowledgeLoss, --replace-lossy).
- eps: font names re-encoded with a *<n> suffix resolve to their family.

A PDF or PDF-compatible .ai whose ToUnicode map gives some glyphs U+FFFD (as

U+FFFD now counts as no mapping. Such a glyph takes its character from the
embedded font where it can (Adobe's CID tables for CID-keyed CFF, as before,
then the font program's own cmap), and otherwise keeps its outline from the
embedded font, so it looks as the file draws it. The import warns which font
had characters the file doesn't name.

A fourth Image Trace mode for flat-colour logos. The existing tracer follows hard pixel
edges, so an outline can only be as good as the pixel grid; here each pixel is read as a
blend of the logo's flat colours, the blend is interpolated smoothly (cubic B-spline), and
every outline is placed where two colours are equally present, to a fraction of a pixel.
Outlines are then cleaned the way a person would:
- corners the blur rounded are put back (line fits either side of a bend, intersected);
- near-straight runs and near-circular arcs become exact lines and arcs (Snap Curves To Lines);
- the rest is fitted with as few cubic Beziers as the tolerance allows (Schneider);
- touching colours overlap by 0.06 px so no hairline gap opens between independent fits;
- shapes are painted biggest first; transparent areas fully enclosed by artwork (letters
knocked out of a badge, the counters of an "o") are painted white so the logo reads the
same on any background, or become real holes with Ignore White (each hole belongs to the
smallest outline containing it);
- an outline whose fit strays more than 1.4 px from the raw contour is fitted plainly.
Colours are found automatically (and completed from pixels no blend of the known colours
explains, so a small accent is not lost) or named with `logoColors: ["#rrggbb", ...]` (white is
always its own class; colours closer than 12 count as one; at most ten). Gradients and photos
are refused with advice to use Color (a flat-colour score of the solid areas, 0.93). A
hard-edged source with no anti-aliasing is softened by under a pixel and fitted with looser
snap tolerances. Images over 1024 px on the long side are averaged down first (further, if
they are busy enough to make the unmixing expensive) and the result is mapped back exactly.
More real outlines than we will fit are refused, not silently truncated.
Also: a "Flat Logo" preset, the mode in the Image Trace panel (Method hidden: it always
stacks), the command docs and MCP prompt, es/fr/it/ru translations for the two new messages
and the mode name, and the ROADMAP.
Never-crash: no unwrap/expect/panic, every size and float is bounded and checked, with
tests for degenerate and extreme input (NaN/infinite parameters, 0x0 and 1x1 images, sparse
outlines, an anchor budget, a 200,000-entry palette) and a 250-run randomised no-panic
property test. The B-spline interpolation follows Unser et al. and Thevenaz et al., and the
curve fitter follows Schneider (Graphics Gems); both are written from the papers.
Measured (local experiment, not in CI): a flat-colour logo's vector original rendered down
to a soft 199x100 px PNG and traced. Mean edge error vs the original at 1600 px wide:
built-in colour presets 2.5 to 3.4 px, Flat Logo 0.78 px (0.48 px from a crisp source);
region overlap 0.88-0.91 vs 0.966. About 0.1 s for a 200 px logo.
Tests: 60 new in the trace crate (unmix, field, contours, geometry, Beziers, corners,
outline fitting, palette, end-to-end on synthetic shapes made in code) and 3 in the engine.
cargo xtask ci passes (fmt, clippy, test, assets, brands, layers, wasm): 4,290 tests.

The Shaper fits a hexagon's rotation by scoring 0, 90, 180 and 270
degrees, but a hexagon at 180 is the one at 0 (and 270 the one at 90):
those pairs score the same up to rounding, so the platform's atan2 picked
between them. FreeBSD's libm gave 270 where Linux gives 90, failing
tilted_rectangles_ellipses_and_hexagons_snap_to_their_angle_steps on the
FreeBSD build+test job. Candidates a whole number of periods from an
earlier one are now dropped. A new test reproduces the flip on Linux
with the old code (180 instead of 0 at tilt -9).

- A press with a selection tool inside an artboard makes it the active one, as
the Artboard tool's does; before, only the navigator and the Artboards panel
changed it.
- Paste in Place, in Front and in Back take `artboard` (the UI passes the active
one): the objects go where they were on the artboard they were copied from,
on that artboard. Without it, they paste where they were, as before.

Windows shows a window's big icon (ICON_BIG) in the taskbar and Alt+Tab.
eframe sets only the window icon (the small one, in the title bar), so the
taskbar showed a generic window instead of VectorCraft's icon. The app now sets
the big icon from the same 256 px image when the window is created.

VectorCraft found fonts only in the system's font folders (and, on Windows,
those font services activate). A new preference names one more folder, read
with its subfolders after the platform's: its fonts are listed in the font

system_font_dirs adds to every scan (none on wasm).
- prefs fontsFolder (Type > Options > Additional Fonts Folder), trimmed; when

With the Artboard tool, the Properties panel showed the active artboard's name,
position and size but no quick way to turn it between portrait and landscape.
It now has a row with:
- Preset: New Document's saved and built-in presets, by category, matched in
either orientation (Custom when none matches); choosing one sizes the
artboard in its current orientation;
- Portrait and Landscape (the New Document toggle): the other one swaps the
artboard's width and height.
The artboard's top-left corner stays put, so no art moves with it.

A value takes about 40 bytes in memory however few it took in the file,
and a bool array packs eight in a byte, so a small, highly compressed
doc.dat could declare billions of values and make the import abort on
allocation (review on storytold/vectorcraft#667). The parser now counts
fields and array elements against a 2^24 budget before allocating, and
reserves array storage fallibly, returning Error::Limit either way.

object.cropImage {trim: true} cuts the selected image to the box of its pixels
with any alpha, copying them as they are (no re-render, no resampling) and
placing them where they were. An image with nothing to cut is left as it is

opens. Print-ready PNGs usually carry transparent padding; with this, Fit to

On every quit (Cmd+Q, VectorCraft > Quit, the close button) on a MacBook Pro
with a Touch Bar, AppKit threw from -[_NSTouchBarFinderObservation invalidate]
and macOS reported a crash. AccessKit's macOS adapter subclasses the window's
content view and gives it back its own class when the window is torn down;
AppKit's Touch Bar support observes the view under the subclass, so removing
that observation throws (the same cause Zed fixed in zed-industries/zed#65186).
On macOS with accessibility, the app now ends the process at the end of
on_exit, once the preferences are saved, before eframe tears the window down.
Nothing after the window is needed on a normal quit. While the window is still
starting up it doesn't, so a graphics failure still starts the app again on
another adapter (#651).

CMYK went to RGB through display sRGB: CMYK -> sRGB (clamped) -> working RGB.
Into a wider space (Wide Gamut RGB, the 1998 primaries) that clipped every
colour sRGB can't hold - CMYK cyan's red channel landed at 99 instead of 0 -
and the black-point compensation setting had no effect (moxcms leaves it
unimplemented). An ICC CMYK profile now converts directly into the RGB
profile: into its primaries with linear curves, where compensation is a
linear remap from the profile's black (found by sending black through the
profile and reading it back), then onto its own curves. The canvas uses the
same conversion into sRGB, so what shows is what an RGB export writes.
Checked against Ghostscript with the same profiles (relative colorimetric,
compensation on and off): exports into Wide Gamut RGB and the sRGB display
agree within 1 level in 255. The built-in CMYK spaces are unchanged (Generic
CMYK compensates in its own model).

A CMYK image with an /SMask, /Mask or colour key was handed to the
interpreter and stored as an RGB PNG, converted with hayro's own bundled
profile (Perceptual) rather than the working CMYK, so it showed 10-30 levels
lighter than other CMYK images and lost its ink amounts. It now keeps its
inks as other CMYK images do (#320), and its alpha becomes a greyscale
opacity mask. PDF export already writes that as a DeviceCMYK image under a
soft mask, so a round trip keeps the inks.

The image decoder can't read a CMYK TIFF with an alpha channel at all

alpha divided back out and the inks converted in the active colour settings.

A pinch already zoomed the canvas and a second finger already cancelled the
first finger's press, but dragging two fingers together did nothing: the
canvas only read wheel scrolls, and a touch screen sends touches. The fingers'
movement (egui's multi-touch translation) now scrolls the canvas under either
Zoom with Mouse Wheel setting, and zoom and scroll apply in the same frame, so
a pinch that also slides pans too. Trackpads send scrolls, so nothing counts
twice.

Layout (vectorcraft-text tests_combos): every pair of ligatures under tracking,
the paragraph composer, vertical alignment, Shrink Text to Fit, per-paragraph
attributes and inline graphics, and all six at once. Commands
(vectorcraft-engine tests_textcombos): Auto Size and Shrink Text with inline
art, paragraphs, composer and alignment; editing and undo across them; a save
round trip with everything on.
auto_height lays the text out in a very tall probe frame; with Center, Bottom
or Justify the lines moved down inside it and the frame grew to tens of
thousands of points.
The fit scaled each run's size, leading and baseline shift but not an inline
graphic's own shift (points), so shrunk symbols sat off the cap-height centre.
align_vertically moved lines and glyphs but not TextLayout::inlines, so inline
symbols in a centred or bottom-aligned area stayed where top alignment put them.
The reflow path for non-rectangular frames also kept the previous pass's
inlines, drawing each symbol twice.
Metal reports no PCI ids, so both GPUs of a dual-GPU Mac had the adapter key
Metal:0000:0000. When the integrated GPU failed at start-up, the restart left
out both and the app quit, although the discrete GPU works. An adapter without
ids is now keyed by its name, so the restart leaves out only the one that
failed.
The failure itself was wgpu's indirect-call validation compute shader, which
OCLP-patched Metal on an Iris Pro can't compile. Nothing in VectorCraft or
egui draws indirectly, so that validation is off (WGPU_VALIDATION_INDIRECT_CALL=1
turns it back on).

Advanced › Create: Fills and/or Strokes, with Stroke (the widest line, px).
With Strokes, each colour's 8-connected parts no wider than the stroke width
(chamfer distance transform) trace as open centre lines instead of filled
outlines: the line is thinned to one pixel (Zhang-Suen with each removal
re-checked, so two-pixel lines survive; staircase corners dropped), its
skeleton becomes runs between ends and junctions (junction pixels merged,
spurs pruned, runs through two-way junctions joined, rings closed), and each
run is simplified and fitted with curves. The stroke width is the line's mean
width (pixels over length). Traced lines get round caps and joins in the
document. Without Fills, wider areas become 1 px stroked outlines.
`imageTrace.make` takes fills, strokes and strokeWidth, and refuses neither
fills nor strokes and a non-positive width.

Color mode's colours now come from a Palette (`palette` in imageTrace.make's
params), shown in the Image Trace panel under Mode:
- Limited: the `colors` best colours (what Color did before; the default).
- Full Tone: median cut until no colour box spans more than 96 (Less) … 8
(More) levels per channel, up to 256 colours, set by `colorDetail` 0-100
(the panel's Colors slider for this palette).
- Automatic: flat art (90% of the pixels in a few tight colours) traces with
exactly its colours, anything else as Full Tone.
- Document Library: the most used (at most `colors`) colours of the
document's swatches or of a swatch library (`library`: "document" or a
library id or name, chosen in the panel's Library list), used as they are;
traced shapes fill with the swatch's own colour, its colour model kept.
The library's colours are looked up at every trace, not saved.

canvas only (RenderOptions::trace_views): exports, printing and Expand keep

The Artboard tool handled Delete/Backspace in Tool::key, but never claimed
the keys through Tool::claims_key. The UI only routes Delete/Backspace to a
tool that claims them, so the keypress went to the Clear shortcut instead
and the artboard stayed. The existing tests called the tool directly and
missed it.
The tool now claims Delete/Backspace while no drag is in progress and more
than one artboard exists. With only one artboard left, the keys stay with
the shortcut.

Other editors export a document with a single layer without a layer group:
the layer's name goes on the root <svg> (id, or data-name) and its art sits
directly inside. Such a file opened as "Layer 1"; now its one layer takes the
root's name. Files whose top-level groups are the layers are unchanged, and an
Inkscape root's generated id (with inkscape:version) isn't taken as a name.

The panel laid out a row (with its thumbnail and several whole-document
lookups) for every open row each frame. A layer of 5,000 groups of 10 paths,
all open, took about 29 s a frame headless. Now the rows shown are listed once
per document change (with their layer colour and dimming worked out on the
way down) and ScrollArea::show_rows lays out only those in view: 0.4 ms a
frame. A row highlighted out of view is scrolled to.
The open rows move from UI state into the document's state
(DocState::layers_open, OpenRows): a document opens with only its top-level
layers open, and native files save the open rows (Document::layers_open,
written only when not the default, at save time like the view, so opening or
closing rows never marks the document modified).

Top-level groups already opened as layers named from data-name, else their
id. Now that also holds when one more id-less group wraps them (a transform
on all the art, or a <switch>'s chosen group), and hidden objects inside a
<switch> are kept (hidden) instead of dropped.
Nested groups stay groups unless something marks them as layers: the SVG
export now writes data-vc-layer="sublayer" on layers inside layers, and
import makes such a group (or an Inkscape layer group) a sublayer of the
layer holding it, in that layer's colour. A marked group anywhere else
stays a group.

Pixel Preview only switched the pixel grid on from 600%: the art was still
rendered for the screen and drawn with linear filtering, so curves and
strokes stayed smooth vectors. Now, while a document pixel is bigger than a
screen pixel, the canvas renders the visible document pixels one per point
(anti-aliased by coverage), uploads them with nearest filtering and places
them over the document rect they cover, turning with a rotated view.

Type pasted or imported from another app (Illustrator, PDF, SVG) arrives
without cached_bounds, which is not serialized. TextObject::bounds() then
falls back to estimate_bounds(), a rough 0.55 em per character, so the
selection box came up short of the last character and alignment looked off
until the file was saved and reopened (Session::add_document refreshes it).
Refresh the bounds of pasted text in paste_clip, covering paste and paste in
front/back/in place and every clipboard flavour, with a regression test.
In the Fill or Stroke chip's popover (Control bar, Properties ›
Appearance), the Swatch Libraries Menu button at the foot of the
swatches closed the popover and showed nothing, as in the video on
#536; Show Swatch Kinds did the same. egui remembers one open popup per
window: the chip's popover was such a remembered popup, so the button's
menu, opening as another one, closed the popover and itself with it.
The popover now keeps its own open state with widgets::popover (made for
popovers that open menus of their own), so the libraries menu opens over
it and a library chosen there opens in the library panel. Escape, a
click outside and a click on the chip still close it.
Test: tests_paintchips::the_popover_swatch_libraries_button_opens_the_libraries_menu
(fails before this change: the popover closes).

Document symbols placed inline in a run of type (beyond Illustrator; like
InDesign inline anchored objects): TextRun.inline holds the symbol, scale and
shift; the run is one U+FFFC laid out as a glyph sized to the art, centred on
the cap height. text.insertInline and Type > Insert Inline Symbol; editing
keeps the graphic whole; canvas, SVG (<use>) and PDF draw the art; Create
Outlines turns it into a symbol instance.
The DirectWrite font lister (#594) was installed in the desktop app only:
`vectorcraft-cli` (convert, run, MCP) didn't see fonts that font services
such as Adobe Fonts load on Windows, so its exports set such type in a
fallback font.
- The CLI shares the app's `system_fonts.rs` and installs it first thing
on Windows (not the win7 build). The text crate stays free of unsafe
code; the CLI denies unsafe code instead of forbidding it, so the
shared module's own allowance applies.

Preferences › Devices › Enable Touch Gestures (on by default) was stored
but nothing read it: no touch gesture was implemented.
- `touch::Taps` follows the fingers egui reports (winit reads them from
the system: WM_POINTER on Windows): fingers down together and lifted
within half a second, none moved more than 16 points, is a tap. Two
fingers undo, three redo, with the preference on.
- egui makes the first finger the pointer too, so it has pressed on the
canvas by the time a second lands: that press is dropped then (its tool
interaction rolled back), and the rest of the gesture presses nothing.
The tap so undoes what came before it, not the first finger's mark.
- A pen is one contact, so pen strokes and taps are unaffected; pinch zoom
is unchanged.

top left holds Constrain over the tool's three modes: Free Transform,
Perspective Distort and Free Distort. Before, the modes were reachable

`tool.setOption`, as agents do. Constrain acts as Shift held and is
greyed in the distort modes, where it does nothing. The modifier keys
keep working while dragging.

A browser's Copy Image puts the picture on the clipboard with the image's
address as text (and HTML). Paste takes text before bitmaps, as word
processors offer a picture of copied text, so it pasted the address.
- `clipboard::is_address`: text that is only an address (http, https,
file, ftp, data or blob).
- Desktop paste (Windows, macOS, Linux): such text gives way to the
clipboard's bitmap when it has one. An address alone pastes as text, as
before; nothing is fetched.
- Web: a paste whose text is only an address takes its picture file.

swatch.library.load as dataBase64 instead of as lossy UTF-8 text.
Swatch and group names in a library are now unique, in .gpl files too.
Add to Swatches puts each color group of a library into one document
group when the document already has a swatch with the group's name.
The library fuzz helpers fail when a command panics.
macOS's Geeza Pro is an AAT font: its morx shaping takes no context from
outside the run, so different_style_arabic_boundary_receives_joining_context
failed on Macs (reported in #610). The tests now use the first candidate
with a GSUB table and skip when there is none.

An anchor was picked within the selection tolerance (3 px), the same reach
as its segments: a press a little off the anchor's 5 px square took the
curve instead.
- `ToolContext::point_tol`: anchors and direction handle ends are picked
within the selection tolerance, but at least 2 px past the drawn point
(4.5 px at the default Size 3, more with a larger Size). Anchors are
tested before segments, so where both are within reach the anchor wins.
- Direct Selection (presses, Highlight anchors on mouse over, blend spine
points and handles), the Anchor Point, Delete Anchor Point and Scissors
tools, and the Pen (its Alt conversions; its close/continue reach stays
5 px unless the points are drawn larger) use it. Segments, objects and
frame edges keep the selection tolerance.
- Of the topmost path with anchors in reach, the nearest anchor is picked.

Each paragraph has its own alignment, indents, spacing, hyphenation, tab
stops and paragraph style (TextObject.paras; para stays paragraph 0's, so
old files and readers work). Layout, editing (split/merge), threads, the
Paragraph/Tabs/Paragraph Styles panels, ranged text.setStyle/setFormat/
tabs/paraStyle.apply, SVG export/import and the fuzzers follow.
#606 adds a second area type (Shrink Text to Fit) to the rich fixture: the
vertical-alignment test now picks the centred area type by its text and
strips verticalAlign from every area for its old-file case, and the
composer test checks the Single-line text and the rest at the default.

VectorCraft asks for a path where it needs one and goes on with it at
once, so its file dialogs ran on the UI thread. Windows and macOS dialogs
run the window's events meanwhile; on Linux nothing answered the Wayland
compositor's pings while a dialog was open, and Hyprland offered to kill
the window as not responding.
- ui-egui `picks`: every file dialog (open, save, folder, place) goes
through one place. With the host's `start_pick` (desktop Linux) the
dialog shows on a thread of its own; what asked (the command, the
dialog's OK, a panel's or dialog's button) gives up for now and runs
again with the picked path when the dialog answers. Another dialog
waits for the open one.
- The desktop app passes its window as the dialogs' parent on Linux (the
portal can then associate its window, "Unhandled parent window type"
before) and Windows; macOS shows them as before.

Area Type Options gain a fit: none, autoHeight (Illustrator's Auto Size:
the frame's height follows the text after every edit, resolved in
refresh_bounds inside the edit so it shares the edit's undo step) and
shrinkText {minPercent} (beyond Illustrator: overflowing text scales its
sizes, leading and baseline shifts down at layout time by the largest
factor, in 0.1 pt steps of the first run, that fits). The Auto Size New
Area Type preference now applies. text.areaOptions and document.inspect
report overflow and the shrink factor; the Area Type Options dialog
offers fit and first baseline as dropdowns.
A `.ai` file's PDF part is what apps that don't read VectorCraft's native
document open. It had no PDF layers: hidden layers and sublayers were left
out of it and everything else was flat page content.
- `.ai` files (Save As, exports, the CLI) write PDF layers unless
`createLayers` is false (a PDF standard still decides for itself).
- createLayers writes sublayers too, as optional content groups listed
under their layer's in `/Order`, hidden ones off with their art.
- A layer's form gets a box round the whole page instead of its art's
bounds, which readers made a clipping group of, gathering a layer's art
and its sublayers' in one group.
- PDF import: art inside a group, clip or form that dissolves into its
parent keeps the layer it was drawn in, so sublayers nested in their
layer's content import as sublayers.
- Save PDF: "Create PDF layers from layers and sublayers" (ja, es, it,
pt-br, ru, zh-hans, zh-hant).
Hidden objects (not layers) still aren't in the PDF part.

Area Type Options > Align: Top / Center / Bottom / Justify (AreaOptions.verticalAlign,
LayoutOptions.vertical_align). Each row/column cell is aligned on its own; rectangular
cells shift their lines, other frames and text wrap reflow until settled without
losing text. Justify shares the leftover space equally between line gaps. Area Type Options
shows Align and First Baseline as dropdowns (the parameter dialog's choices table).
Font services load their fonts with GDI at run time, from files in their
own folders, without installing them: neither the font folders nor the
registry list them, so the font scan never saw them. DirectWrite's system
font collection holds them since Windows 10 1607.
- vectorcraft-text: `set_platform_font_files` lets the app name font files
the platform knows; each scan and each check for installed fonts asks
again and reads those outside the font folders. A file named by itself
is read whatever its extension (font services keep fonts in files
without one).
- The desktop app lists the local files of DirectWrite's system font
collection on Windows (`system_fonts.rs`, through the windows crate
already in the build), read in place.
- The check for fonts installed while the app was in the background runs
on a thread: DirectWrite's check for updates takes about 50 ms.

Illustrator's Every-line Composer balances the breaks of the whole
paragraph for left/centre/right aligned text too, not only justified
text. VectorCraft only composed justified area text; ragged text was
always broken greedily.
- Model: ParaStyle.composer (vectorcraft_doc::Composer, re-exported by
vectorcraft-text), Every-line by default like Illustrator, saved only
when Single-line. layout() reads it from the object;
LayoutOptions.composer is now an Option override for tests.
- Composer: the justified gate is gone. Ragged lines never shrink (a
line that doesn't fit ends the node), badness is 100*r^3 with r = the
line's leftover space over a rag zone of 1/6 of the width (finite for
lines without spaces); the last line is free unless shorter than 1/3
of the width (measured in zones of 1/3), so a lone short word on the
last line pulls a word down. Hyphens cost 25 in ragged text (50 in
justified). Knuth-Plass fitness classes with adjacency demerits
(justified 10000, ragged 1000). Lines past the last width change
share one node key, active nodes are capped (4096) and paragraphs
over 200k glyphs break single-line, so work stays bounded; ragged
tries a tolerance of one rag zone, then any fitting breaks, then
falls back to greedy.
- text.setFormat {composer: "singleLine"|"everyLine"}; the Paragraph
panel menu's composer items work with a check mark (Reset Panel goes
back to Every-line).
- Tests: ragged Every-line moves "or" down in "Destroy all creatures
with toughness X or less." where greedy leaves "less." alone; the rag
of long paragraphs is no worse than greedy (sum of squared leftover
and of neighbour differences); Single-line is greedy; the 10k-char
layout budget covers ragged text; command test with undo; native
format round trip (rich_session's text is now Single-line).
No existing test needed changing: the justified tests and
hyphenated_layout_adds_hyphens (ragged, now Every-line) still pass.
Auto alignment (start of the paragraph direction) is ragged; a wrapped
line's Mojikumi flush opening bracket gives its half em back to the
composer, as in the line loop; tests cover Auto in both directions.
Layout of 10k chars, release: justified Every-line 5.6 ms, ragged
Every-line 5.8 ms, ragged Single-line 4.8 ms.
The Color panel shows the out-of-gamut and out-of-web warnings under its
proxy only when the colour needs them, so the panel grew and shrank with
the colour. Dragging on the spectrum's pale top edge, a colour out of
gamut added a warning, the spectrum moved down under the pointer, the
pointer then picked white (above the spectrum), the warning went away,
the spectrum moved back up: the colour flipped every frame.
The panel now keeps room for the warnings its mode can show, so its
height no longer depends on the colour.

#583 kept ligatures within +-50/1000 em. Adobe's composers are described
as dropping them past about -8% and +22% of the word space (John Hudson,
www-style, 2012-07): about -20 and +55 for a typical 250/1000 em space.
Condensed type shows a fixed ligature sooner than expanded type does.

The Gradient panel's colour chip opens the stop popover on a click. The
popover closes on a click elsewhere, and the opening click itself, which
is released in the frame the popover first draws and lies outside it,
counted as one: the popover closed at once (a double-click got through,
as the popover lets the double-click that opens it from the canvas pass).
The popover now records the frame it first drew in and only a click in a
later frame closes it.

Add ru.tsv with the full interface coverage: every menu string, every
tl! literal, the plurals (one/few/many) and the status/error messages
(@msg). Registered as complete_menus with the Russian plural rule;
every ru-* locale resolves to it. Keeps the product, workspace and
perspective preset names in English like the other complete catalogs.
Tests: russian_reads_as_russian, russian_plurals_have_three_forms,
russian_glyphs_are_available_without_system_fonts; ru added to
KEEPS_MENU_NAMES and COMPLETE_MESSAGES.
Clean-room: written from the meaning of the English labels in the
vocabulary Russian-speaking users of vector illustration software know
(Слой, Образцы, Обработка контуров, Монтажная область, Обводка,
Заливка), matching the Russian catalog of the sibling app PhotoCraft.
No other application's localisation was copied.
An SVG used as an animation rig lost its hidden alternates and their
rotation pivots: the exporter left hidden objects out (only hidden layers
could be kept), and the importer dropped data-* attributes.
- SVG export: hiddenLayers (on by default for document.save, as before)
now keeps hidden objects too, each written display="none" on its own
element (path, image, text or group). Exports still leave them out
unless asked; the CLI's convert asks, as a conversion keeps the
document.
- An object's own data: ObjectAttributes.data, the data-* attributes in
order (ours, data-name and data-vc-*, aside). The importer keeps them on
the objects and layers they belong to (at most 64 per element), the
exporter writes them back, the native format saves them (missing in
older files), and object.setProps {data: {key: value|null}} sets or
removes them.

file.saveAs and document.save wrote a PDF-compatible .ai, but
document.export (and with it the CLI's run --export x.ai and convert
in.svg out.ai, and MCP's export) refused it as a format that can only be
opened, and --help didn't list it as writable.
The .ai encoder is now shared: save.rs's ai_params and encode_ai (a PDF
of every artboard with the PDF options, carrying the native document,
blank pages with pdfCompatible: false) serve Save As and the exports
alike. The .ai format is writable, so document.formats, --help and the
MCP export tool list it; an export leaves the document's own path alone.
Export As and Export for Screens keep leaving .ai to Save As.

Merging regions united the faces' outlines with a boolean union. Each
face had been refit on its own, so two faces' shared edge could come out
a hair apart: the union then kept the edge between them, or a spur of
it, and a stroked merged shape (unfilled art) showed a stray line inside.
Subtracting the merged shape from the others left slivers along it too.
pathops::FaceMerger merges faces from the planar arrangement itself,
made once per merge: their contours share their edges exactly, so the
edges between merged faces vanish. The Shape Builder builds the merged
shape that way, and what is left of each shape from its faces not merged
(rather than subtracting the merged shape from it). Selections with open
paths keep the old union.

Only real letterspacing (|tracking| > LIGATURE_TRACKING_LIMIT = 50/1000 em)
drops standard ligatures now, and an explicit liga/clig in the character's
features always wins. The OpenType panel's hint follows the same rule.
The Properties panel's Edit Artboards turned on the Artboard tool but the
panel went on showing the document's sections, with no way there to add
an artboard (only dragging on the canvas, which the hint bar names, or
the Artboards panel's button). While the Artboard tool is on, the panel
now shows the active artboard: its name and X, Y, W and H (editable,
artboard.setProps), New Artboard (which becomes the active one), Delete
Artboard (with more than one), and Exit back to the Selection tool.

With the Selection tool, a click (no drag, no modifier) on one object of a
selection of several makes it the key object (select.key); a click on the
key again lets it go. The key object is drawn with a thicker outline,
Align aligns to it (the Align panel shows Align to Key Object while there
is a key, and choosing Selection or Artboard lets it go), and
object.align without `to` aligns to the key when there is one, so the
Control bar's and the Properties panel's Align buttons do too. With a
spacing, Distribute Spacing keeps the key object still and spaces the
others from it, and it reports too few objects instead of indexing an
empty list.

egui's combo box puts its own scroll area around a combo's list, so the
font menu, which scrolls its families itself, had two scrollbars: once
the families reached their end the wheel scrolled the outer one, taking
the search field and the filters out of view.
The font menu (widgets::combo with searchable) now opens its list in a
popup of its own, drawn like the combo box, without that outer scroll
area: below the button, or above it when there is more room there. The
families list fills the popup's room under the search field and filters,
which stay at the top while the list scrolls.

Open and Place read Affinity documents natively (.af from Affinity 3,
.afdesign/.afphoto/.afpub from Affinity 1 and 2): layers and sublayers,
groups, artboards with their names and backgrounds, Publisher pages side
by side, curves with live corners, parametric shapes, compound shapes,
clipping by nesting, vector and pixel masks, solid and gradient fills,
strokes, fill layers, artistic and frame text, placed images (their
original JPEG/PNG), pixel layers, embedded documents as their cached
picture, opacity, visibility, locking and blend modes, at the document's
resolution in points. Unsupported content (effects, adjustments, brushes,
master pages, special shapes, Affinity-only blend modes...) is listed in
the import warning, one line per kind. A file whose native data can't be
read opens as its embedded preview with the reason, and that preview
cannot be placed or used as a template or library. Save never writes back
over the Affinity file and there is no Affinity export.
The document semantics were fitted to the thumbnails Affinity embeds in
176 public documents. `cargo xtask corpus --affinity` fetches 22 public
CC0/MIT/Apache-2.0 documents at pinned commits, sha256-verified; the new
engine test renders each and compares it with Affinity's own thumbnail
(0-4.4 of 255 mean difference, per-file ceilings). import_fuzz mutates a
synthetic native document's stream and container through open, render
and export; the fuzz crate gains a stream target.

Read the native container beyond its preview: the chain of allocation
tables (#FAT, #FT2, #FT3, #FT4) with newest-revision selection, CRC-checked
extraction of stored, zlib and zstd entries with their byte predictors,
and the self-describing tagged object stream in doc.dat as a generic tree
of shared, inline and positional objects.
Every declared size is checked against per-entry and per-import budgets
before allocation; the zstd window is capped at 64 MiB; table chains are
cycle-checked; arrays are checked against the remaining bytes; object
nesting stops at 384 levels.
The header now accepts container versions 8 to 12 and the flag values 4
and 8 that real Affinity 3 files carry (the previous check rejected the
public CC0 Affinity 3 documents); the thumbnail record is the same in all
those versions. Checked against 176 public documents saved by Affinity 1.x
to 3.x: every doc.dat decompresses with a matching CRC and parses with no
bytes left over.
A test-only `synth` feature builds synthetic containers for unit tests
and fuzz seeds; it is not an Affinity exporter.

and what's next; [`docs/target-app-parity.md`](docs/target-app-parity.md) the full parity assessment and
[`docs/gaps.md`](docs/gaps.md) the ranked list of what's missing.
**Where we are (2026-10-07):** roughly 69–75% of Illustrator's features exist and work, and about 40–55% of
"a power user can't tell the difference". Everyday vector illustration is close to usable: drawing and path tools,
**Where we are (2026-10-10): alpha.** About 88% of Illustrator 2026's menu items, tools, effects and formats exist
(92.5% of menu items do something), feature depth is ~75%, and we estimate ~65% "ready for real work" for a mainstream illustrator (~62% against
all of Illustrator): everyday
vector illustration is close to usable: drawing and path tools,
Pathfinder and Shape Builder, paint, gradients, appearance and transparency, type with styles, threading and Hebrew/Arabic bidirectional layout, and
files (SVG, PDF and PDF-compatible `.ai` with PDF/X, EPS, DXF, EMF/WMF, raster formats and PSD, Print, Package). The interface
speaks English, Japanese, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Italian (and Czech and Brazilian Portuguese in the menus).

Affinity documents (`.af` from Affinity 3, `.afdesign`, `.afpub` and, by their content, `.afphoto` from Affinity 1 and 2) open
and place natively: layers, groups, artboards and pages, curves and shapes, fills, gradients and strokes, clipping
and masks, text and images, with what didn't come in (effects, adjustments, brushes, master pages…) listed in the
import warning; a file whose native data can't be read opens as its embedded preview, saying why. VectorCraft
doesn't write Affinity files. Current `.af` validation includes 33 pinned files, native save/reload
and every-board SVG/PDF/PSD export, with fixes for Affinity 3 artboards, source-backed JPEGs and text runs.

**What's missing:**
-3D and Materials;
- the Photoshop-style raster effects (Effect Gallery);
- CJK composition for vertical type (vertical type itself has initial support, with a Japanese interface);
- Variables and scripting;
-reliable exchange of Illustrator's own `.ai` files (layer structure in real files; Illustrator's editing data isn't written);
- an interaction-fidelity pass covering every tool's modifiers and small behaviours;
-packaging for Windows and Linux.
-3D and Materials beyond the initial live Revolve (Extrude & Bevel, Inflate, Rotate, materials);
- about half of the Photoshop-style raster effects (28 of 57 still missing; Film Grain is available under Artistic) and the Effect Gallery;
- CJK composition for vertical type (vertical type itself has initial support, with a Japanese interface);
- scripting, and the rest of Variables (image and graph kinds, dataset import);
- generative AI features.
**Where we're going:** next is the interaction-fidelity pass alongside the raster-effects package, then 3D and
advanced type, then hardening and packaging for 1.0. The prioritized list is in
VectorCraft is a clean-room, open-source, pure-Rust reimplementation of the Adobe Illustrator workflow. It runs on macOS, Windows, Linux and the web (WASM), and agents can drive it fully over a JSON control channel and MCP.
- UI.5: Shared docking adds tab reordering, docking into other groups, dock splits and resizable floating panel groups. Panel positions and return locations persist with workspaces; the native icon rail and Tools panel remain available.
This file tracks **how far we are and what's left**. Time estimates are wall-clock hours of continuous Claude Opus 5.5 agent work (including builds and the CI gate), given both for **one agent** and for **4–6 parallel agents** on disjoint crates. They are counted from the remaining work (see [Parity estimate](#parity-estimate)), calibrated against measured throughput, and updated as work lands.
- UI.4: Dock and floating-panel headers use shared accessible tabs with bounded overflow. Widget-state theme application uses `craft-ui`; all four palettes, font stacks and preferences remain app-owned.

VectorCraft is a clean-room, open-source, pure-Rust reimplementation of the Adobe Illustrator workflow. It runs
on macOS, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and the web (WASM), and agents can drive all of it over MCP, the CLI and a JSON
control channel. This page is the summary; the evidence is in [`docs/target-app-parity.md`](docs/target-app-parity.md)
and the work list in [`docs/gaps.md`](docs/gaps.md).
## Honest assessment (2026-10-05)
**Why alpha:** the core workflows exist end to end (drawing and path editing, Pathfinder, paint and appearance,
type, SVG/PDF/EPS, print, export) and feature depth is ~75%, but a professional can't yet switch: Illustrator's
own `.ai` files open with a wrong layer structure in real cases and can't be saved back with Illustrator's
editing data, the interaction details have never been checked side by side, and some machines fail to start the
app. Beta needs those closed (the beta list in [gaps.md](docs/gaps.md)). It passes the core-workflow
gate: all six core workflows (path drawing and editing, paint and style, type, layers/artboards/export, print
production, file exchange) work end to end on macOS with save and reopen, and only the last is partial, without
blocking it ([Alpha gate](docs/roadmap.md#alpha-gate)).
**In one line:** about two-thirds to three-quarters of Illustrator's features exist and work, and for everyday
vector illustration (drawing, paths, paint and appearance, SVG/PDF/print) VectorCraft is close to usable. Measured
against "a power user can't tell the difference", it is closer to 40–55%. What stands between here and "anyone can
switch" is a handful of large subsystems plus a fidelity pass, not a long tail of small fixes.
## Headline numbers
**How much to trust the numbers:** area scores are graded by the agents that built the features, from behaviour docs
(`plan/illustrator/`) and tests, not by side-by-side use of Illustrator. Treat them as upper bounds. Look & feel is
the only dimension measured against the reference app. Performance budgets haven't been re-run on an idle machine
since 2026-10-01.
### By dimension
| Dimension | Estimate | Evidence and what's missing |
| | Value | Kind |
|---|---|---|
| **Breadth:**menus, tools and panels exist | ~90% | 13 menu items still stubbed; every tool implemented except Touch Type; 51 panel modules |
| **Depth:**each feature behaves like Illustrator | ~69–75% | Strong: paint, appearance and colour (M3), Pathfinder and booleans, selection, drawing, files (M4). Weak: advanced type (~45%), brushes and symbols (in progress), raster effects (~20%) |
| **Large missing subsystems** | 0–20% | 3D & Materials (0%), Photoshop-style raster effects and the Effect Gallery (~1 of ~56 filters), SVG Filters, CJK composition (vertical type with kinsoku, tate-chu-yoko and the font's vertical metrics; ruby, mojikumi and proportional vertical metrics open), Variables (data merge), scripting |
| **Interaction fidelity:**modifiers, cursors, small behaviours | ~30–40% | The dedicated pass hasn't started, and there has been no side-by-side session with Illustrator yet. A power user notices this first |
| **Look & feel** | ~75–80% | Measured against Illustrator 2026 screenshots (2026-10-02); the panels added since haven't been re-measured |
| **File interop** | ~85% | SVG/SVGZ, PDF and PDF-compatible `.ai`, EPS, DXF, EMF/WMF, raster formats, PSD export, Place and Links, Package, Print, clipboard flavours. Native `.ai` private data is out of scope by design; DWG has no open spec |
| **Bundled content:** brush, symbol, style and swatch libraries | ~30% | Ours are original and generated in code, and far fewer than Illustrator ships; brush and symbol libraries are still missing |
| **Performance** | unverified | Multithreaded, off-thread rendering and caches are in place. The last budget run (2026-10-01, loaded machine) measured 290 ms for a 50k-path fit against a 16 ms budget. Re-run `vectorcraft-cli perf` on an idle machine |
| **Robustness** | good, new | ~2,840 tests, property tests, no panics in shipped code (lints, the `guard` safety net, import fuzzing), Data Recovery. Missing: a corpus of real-world files, Windows/Linux/browser QA |
| **Platforms and 1.0 polish** | ~60% | The macOS app and the web build work, and Finder opens every readable format with the macOS app (#295, #354); on macOS the menus are in the system menu bar, laid out as a Mac app's, with the in-window menus as a fallback (`--in-window-menus`; verified on Windows and by cross-compilation, not yet by hand on a Mac); hybrid-graphics laptops render on the power-saving GPU by default on Windows and macOS (#306), and Windows renders through DX12 before Vulkan (#545: Vulkan flickered black on an Intel GPU, DX12 and OpenGL didn't; verified by unit tests and the reporter's runs with `WGPU_BACKEND`), and Linux on the GPU the desktop runs on, since a Wayland compositor may refuse frames from the other one; a window that fails on its GPU while starting up starts again on the next one instead of crashing (#502; the dual-GPU Wayland case is verified by unit tests and cross-compilation, not on such hardware); web drops land in the document they were dropped on (#359); desktop drops carry no pointer position (winit 0.30), so a dropped document opens as a tab of its own and a picture or text is placed in the middle of the view, while the web places anything dropped on the canvas and opens what is dropped off it, as Illustrator does (#472); a web page that loses its WebGPU device or WebGL context restarts its graphics with the same documents (#369); on Linux/Wayland the clipboard reads the compositor's own (data-control) and copied image files paste, but files can't be dropped on the window under Wayland until eframe moves to winit 0.31 (#398; the Wayland side is verified by compilation only); on Linux the Paste menu checks the system clipboard on a background thread, so a clipboard owner that never answers no longer freezes the window, while Windows and macOS keep their quick in-line check (#510; the X11 hang verified by the contributor, here by headless tests); on KDE Plasma 6.3+ under Wayland, pens and pen displays reach the app only under XWayland (`WAYLAND_DISPLAY=`) or with KWin's `KWIN_WAYLAND_EMULATE_TABLET=1`, since winit 0.30 has no Wayland tablet input (#491, not verified on hardware); Windows/Linux packaging and accessibility are pending; an experimental, unsupported Windows 7 x64 OpenGL build exists (community-contributed, not verified by maintainers) |
| **Agent automation** | beyond Illustrator | Every command, gesture and dialog is drivable over MCP, the CLI and the control channel |
| **Scrubby numeric fields** | beyond Illustrator | As in Photoshop, dragging a numeric field's label (`W:`, `Opacity:`, the Character panel's icons) left or right steps its value live; one undo step per drag, Escape cancels (#400) |
| **Feature breadth**(Illustrator's menu items, tools, effects, formats exist) | **~88%** | measured in part: menu items 348/375 wired (92.8%), tools 89/92, Illustrator effects 44/50, Photoshop effects 29/57, 3D 4/4 (initial types, no materials) |
| **Feature depth**(weighted by use, scored by behaviour) | **~75%** | estimated |
| **To beta** | **~170–270 h** one agent · ~50–80 h with 4–6 agents | estimated |
| **To full parity**| **~360–590 h** one agent · ~95–165 h with 4–6 agents | estimated |
### Where we're lacking (in priority order)
**Readiness by audience** (all estimated; method in [target-app-parity.md](docs/target-app-parity.md#ready-for-real-work)):
Ordered by how much each gap blocks someone from switching. Sizes are one-agent hours from the parity table.
| Audience | Ready % | Opus 5.5 agent hours to ~95% (one agent) | With 4–6 agents | Work that dominates |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---|
| **Full Illustrator** (ready for real work; decides the stage) | **~62%** (57–67%) | **~340–560 h** | ~95–160 h | the mainstream work below, plus 3D (50–85 h), raster effects (23–39 h), advanced type (20–28 h), generative AI (30–60 h), localization (55–90 h) and ecosystem |
| **Mainstream illustrator** | **~65%** (60–70%) | **~230–380 h** | ~65–110 h | the interaction-fidelity pass (60–90 h), hardening and QA (30–50 h), stability (20–35 h), performance budgets (15–25 h), `.ai` exchange (10–20 h), the remaining depth of the everyday areas |
| **Essentials user** | **~75%** (70–80%) | **~60–105 h** | ~25–45 h | launch and stability on Windows (20–35 h), in-app help and onboarding (8–15 h), basic QA (10–15 h), Shape Builder regions (4–8 h), UI polish |
1.**Interaction fidelity:** go tool by tool and panel by panel against `plan/illustrator/05-tools.md`,
`06-panels.md` and `09-shortcuts.md`, covering modifier keys, cursors, the Properties panel per context and
isolation mode. Do it side by side with Illustrator where the owner allows. 60–90 h.
2.**Photoshop-style raster effects and the Effect Gallery:** about 55 filters (Artistic, Brush Strokes, Distort,
Pixelate, Sketch, Stylize, Texture, Video) on the raster pipeline that drop shadows already use, applied at
Document Raster Effects Settings resolution. Parallelizes well across agents. 28–42 h.
3.**3D and Materials:** Extrude & Bevel, Revolve, Inflate and Rotate with lighting and materials, using a software
renderer in its own crate (layering allows it below L6), with output in SVG/PDF as rasters or projected vectors.
The largest single gap. 50–80 h.
4.**Advanced type:** CJK composition for vertical type (ruby, mojikumi, proportional vertical metrics, manual
tate-chu-yoko), Optical Margin Alignment, the composer/hyphenation options, tab leaders, a
spell-check dictionary (open licence), Touch Type and Snap to Glyph. Vertical point, area and path type have
initial support. 35–48 h across type core and advanced.
5.**Brushes, symbols and libraries:** brush options depth; original brush, symbol and graphic-style libraries
generated in code (never Adobe's); dynamic symbols; Start Global Edit; brushes driven by pen tilt, bearing and
barrel rotation (6D art pens, #372), which needs tablet input beyond pressure on every platform. 20–32 h.
6.**Automation:** Variables (data merge), a scripting surface over the command registry, batch. 8–12 h.
7.**Views and windows:** multiple windows and arrange, Consolidate All Windows, video
rulers. 15–25 h.
8.**Hardening at scale:** a corpus of real-world SVG/PDF/EPS files, idle-machine perf budgets, Windows, Linux and
browser QA, pen tablets on Wayland and pen pressure beyond Windows (winit 0.31's tablet input, #491), accessibility, packaging. 50–80 h.
Hours are Opus 5.5 agent wall-clock hours, calibrated from this repo's merged-PR timestamps (e.g. 0.7–1.2 h per
Photoshop-style filter, ~0.8 h per medium feature); see [calibration](docs/target-app-parity.md#calibration).
The installed Illustrator was **not** inspected: the clean-room rule in [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md) forbids it, so
everything is measured from our code against Illustrator's public documentation.
### Where we're going
## By dimension
- **Next:** start the interaction-fidelity pass (1) in parallel with the raster-effects package (2). Both are broad,
so they split well across agents, and they move the "can't tell the difference" number most.
- **Then:** 3D (3) and advanced type (4), each a focused milestone with its own plan in `plan/` before coding.
- **Alongside:** keep closing the stubbed menu items. Run `vectorcraft-cli perf` on an idle machine, and fix any
budget it misses before 1.0.
- **1.0:** feature parity plus the fidelity pass, hardening (8) and packaging for all three desktop OSes and the web.
| Dimension | % | One agent (h) | Doc |
|---|---:|---:|---|
| Features (depth) | 75% | 220–360 | [target-app-parity.md](docs/target-app-parity.md) |
**For agents:** pick work from the list above (or the milestone rows below), and write a task plan before coding.
When a task lands, update this section, the parity table and "Shipped so far" in the same PR. Keep the scores honest:
grade by behaviour against `plan/illustrator/`, not by whether a menu item exists.
The dimension hours overlap (feature rows hold some UI, format and AI work), so they don't add up to the total.
## Shipped so far
- **Architecture:** 19+ crates with enforced layering (`cargo xtask layers`). Every action is a command (~400 engine + ~50 UI). Undo is unlimited via structural sharing. `command.batch` runs several commands as one transaction.
- **Automation:**
- Actions panel (record/playback, persisted), generic parameter dialogs for every "…" command.
- JSON-lines control channel with real egui pointer and keyboard injection.
- MCP server with 25 tools (drawing, text, effects, Pathfinder, transforms, graphs, text wrap, export, screenshots, any command), attached to the running app or headless. Tool descriptions and replies agree with the engine: format lists come from its format table, `save_file` says it keeps the document's own format, `inspect_document` reports the paint type's characters show, and selection exports report the encoder's warnings.
- MCP protocol: five prompts (`prompts/list` / `prompts/get`: poster, icon set, recolour, trace-and-style, export set), `completion/complete` for prompt arguments and template variables read from the live catalogues (formats, effect ids, command ids, trace presets, swatch and object ids), four resource templates (`vectorcraft://object/{id}`, `//command/{id}`, `//effect/{id}`, `//swatch/{name}`) so an agent reads one thing instead of the whole document, and `logging/setLevel` with `notifications/message`. `window.panel` ids are case-insensitive (display labels work too), `vectorcraft://object/{id}` reads through `document.node {summary: true}` (the same reply bytes from one lookup instead of summarizing the whole document: a leaf read on a 2,000-object document drops from ~20 ms to ~0.06 ms), large containers slice with `document.node {depth?, childLimit?}` (truncated levels report `childCount`), `document.inspect` and the `inspect_document` tool slice the same way so a depth-0 read is the layer skeleton (~9.7 KB instead of ~2 MB on a 2,000-object document), `document.find` locates nodes by name/kind/text with ancestor paths, and the CLI sweeps the protocol surface over stdio against the compiled binary. `docs/mcp.md` has a Protocol section covering the capability table and what is deliberately absent (subscriptions, progress, cancellation, sampling, elicitation, Streamable HTTP — all of which need the transport to interleave reads).
- Actions panel that records and plays back commands.
- **UI:** Illustrator 2026 layout restyled to measured values:
- Medium Dark theme, categorized and Advanced toolbars (a tool group's flyout opens on a right press, a long press or a press on its corner triangle), 35 pt document tabs, 33 pt panel tabs.
- Hint bar, contextual task bar, 19 dock panels with ≡ menus.
- The contextual task bar's handle drags it anywhere on the canvas (kept whole on it as the window resizes); unpinned it keeps that offset as it follows the selection, and its More Options menu hides it, pins its position across selection changes (`window.taskBar.pin`), resets it under the selection (`window.taskBar.reset`) and shows the Properties panel. As in Illustrator the position isn't kept across launches. Not done: the bar's tool-specific variants (only the selection tools show it).
- Tool flyouts tear off: dragging or clicking the tear-off bar on a flyout's right side (or releasing the long press over it) floats its group as a strip of tool buttons, moved by the same bar and put back in the toolbar by the × at its top (`window.floatTools`). While a group floats, the presses that would open its flyout raise the strip instead. Floating strips are kept with the preferences and in user workspaces. Not done: turning a strip vertical, docking it.
- Panels undock (#495): a dock tab, a panel icon or a popped-out panel's title dragged out of the dock floats that panel inside the window, and the strip right of the dock's tabs floats the whole tabbed group. A floating group moves by its title bar, a tab dragged out of it floats on its own, and dropped on another group's title bar or tabs it stacks with that group; dropped on the dock, which lights up under the pointer, its panels go back where they live (the tabbed group or the icon column), as its × and the panel menus' Float Panel / Dock Panel do (`window.panel.float`, `window.panel.dock`). The Tools panel floats by its title bar and docks again on the window's left edge. Floating panels and the Tools panel's position are kept with the preferences and in user workspaces, and clamped into a smaller window. Not done: panels in separate OS windows, docking a panel into a dock group it doesn't belong to, reordering tabs by dragging, collapsing a floating group to icons, resizing floating panels.
- The dock's double arrow collapses Properties, Layers and Libraries to icons at the top of the icon column, popping out like the other icon panels, and expands them again (`window.collapseDock`, kept with the preferences and in saved workspaces). The icon column's own arrow (expanding the icon panels into a full column) is not done.
- Localised UI: menus (in-window and native), panels, dialogs, toolbar and Preferences read from per-language catalogs (`crates/ui-egui/src/i18n`, see `docs/development.md`); Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), Simplified Chinese (mainland), Japanese, Spanish and Italian ship complete, and Czech and Brazilian Portuguese cover every menu label (and more), with system-locale detection on macOS, Windows, Linux and the web (the browser's languages, or `?lang=`), a VectorCraft ▸ Language menu and a Language preference. Names are never translated (fonts and their styles, layers, artboards, saved presets, user libraries, custom workspaces, recent files, plug-ins).
- Native macOS menu bar, vector tool cursors, a ⌘K command palette, middle-button panning with any tool.
- The macOS menu bar is built from the in-window menus (one model, `native_menu`) and laid out as a Mac app's: the VectorCraft menu holds About, Settings ▸ (each Preferences page, General… ⌘K), Language ▸, Appearance ▸ (UI brightness), Services, Hide VectorCraft ⌃⌘H (⌘H stays Hide Edges), Hide Others, Show All and Quit; Window gains Minimize ⌃⌘M, Zoom and Bring All to Front, and Help the system's search field. Its key equivalents go back to egui as key presses, so user shortcuts, focused text fields and the Type tool's input method behave as in the window, and nothing fires twice; enabled, check marks and labels update in place. `--in-window-menus` or `VECTORCRAFT_IN_WINDOW_MENUS=1` keeps the menus in the window; `ui.inspect` reports `nativeMenuBar`.
- macOS: Finder opens every format File › Open reads with VectorCraft (double-click, Open With, a drop on the Dock icon, `open -a`), at launch or while it runs; the release and `cargo xtask bundle` apps share one `Info.plist` that declares those document types, owning only VectorCraft's own formats. The DMG opens on a designed Finder window, VectorCraft.app beside the `Applications` link over a background with the app icon (#493).
- A canvas context menu: right-click selects the object under the pointer and lists what applies to the selection (Undo/Redo, clipboard, group, isolation, join, Remove Anchor Points when anchors are selected, masks, compound paths, guides, Transform, Arrange, Select, Export Selection), or the view commands on empty canvas.
- Save / Don't Save / Cancel before closing or quitting with unsaved documents (tabs, Close, Close All, Quit, window close).
- Four brightness themes, persistent preferences.
- Preferences that act (#394, in part): Show Tool Tips, Double Click To Isolate, Zoom with Mouse Wheel (the wheel zooms about the pointer, Shift-wheel scrolls up and down, Cmd/Ctrl-wheel sideways; Alt/Option-wheel and a trackpad pinch zoom about the pointer either way), Use Precise Cursors; Selection & Anchor Display › Tolerance (objects, anchors and handles), Object Selection by Path Only, Command Click to Select Objects Behind (cycling down the stack), Zoom to Selection, anchor Size, Highlight anchors on mouse over; Type › Number of Recent Fonts (up to 15); Guides & Grid › guide and grid Color and Style (lines or dots) and Grids In Back. Then Snap to Point (its distance, for moves, drawn points and reference points), Move Locked and Hidden Artwork with Artboard, Enable Rubber Band for the Pen and Curvature tools, Handles style, Show handles when multiple anchors are selected, Hide Corner Widget for angles greater than; General › Transform Pattern Tiles (the transforms' and dialogs' Transform Patterns) and Select Same Tint %; Type › Size/Leading, Tracking and Baseline Shift increments (`type.step`, Cmd+Shift+. and Cmd+Shift+, for the size, the Type tool's Alt+arrows), Enable Missing Glyph Protection and Fill New Type Objects With Placeholder Text. Then Smart Guides › Color, Alignment Guides, Anchor/Path Labels, Measurement Labels, Transform Tools, Object Highlighting (with Smart Guides on) and Snapping Tolerance (4 px by default, for every smart guide snap), then Construction Guides and their Angles (#506: a drawn point near a line at one of those angles through the point it leaves from lands on it). Then Type › Type Object Selection by Path Only (type is picked on the baseline of any of its lines, area type's frame or the path of type on a path, no longer anywhere in its bounds; the Type tools and the Eyedropper still take a click among the characters). Then General › Anti-aliased Artwork (off, the canvas draws the art with hard edges). Then Guides & Grid › Show Pixel Grid (Above 600% Zoom), a line at every document pixel over the art in Pixel Preview, turning with a rotated view as the document grid now does too. Then General › Show The Home Screen When No Documents Are Open (off, closing the last document leaves an empty window; the Home button still opens the screen). Then Units › Numbers Without Units Are Points (on by default: a number typed with no unit into a field in picas is read in points, a typed unit still wins; dimmed unless a unit is Picas). Then User Interface › Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels (off by default: on, a click away from a panel popped out of the icon column puts it away). They reach agents too (`prefs.set`, then `pointer_gesture` or `press_key`; `ui.wheel` on the control channel). About 30 stored options still do nothing yet (the rest of #394: Auto Size New Area Type, Show Font Names in English, Highlight Alternate Glyphs, Spacing Guides, performance, devices…).
- Dialogs move by dragging their heading (the band down from the top edge, as a title bar), stay on screen and keep where they were moved for the session; the form dialogs' choices are dropdowns (Offset Path's Joins, Average's and Shear's and Reflect's axis), and Offset Path lists Offset, Joins, Miter Limit and previews (#423).
- Dialogs open with their first field focused and its value selected: type a value and press Enter (Move, Rotate, Scale…). Number fields in panels, the Control bar and dialogs (preferences too) step with Up/Down, or with the mouse wheel over the focused field (#485: a notch a step; the panel under it then stays put, and an unfocused field leaves the wheel to scrolling) (Shift: ten, Ctrl/Cmd: a tenth of their unit), applied at once.
- Scrubby labels (#400, beyond Illustrator, as in Photoshop): dragging a numeric field's label left or right (the ↔ cursor shows over it) steps the value one unit every 2 points (Shift: ten, Ctrl/Cmd: a tenth; counts stay whole), in the field's unit and within its limits, applied live as the art follows; the whole drag is one undo step and Escape puts the value back. 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. Preferences › General › Scrub Numeric Fields by Dragging (on by default) turns it off.
- The Control bar's underlined Transform link opens the Transform panel in a popover under it (reference point, X/Y/W/H, Rotate and Shear with their icons and angle presets, flips, shape properties, Scale Corners and Scale Strokes & Effects), as its Stroke link does the Stroke panel; X/Y/W/H also show inline while the bar has room. The reference point locator is nine squares, the outer eight joined around the box.
- Tab shows and hides the panels (in the Type tool it types a tab) without moving the keyboard focus onto a field, so the next shortcut or letter still works; in dialogs and panel fields it moves between fields.
- Cmd/Ctrl+A follows the keyboard: in a panel, dialog or search field it selects the field's text, while the Type tool edits it selects all of that text (also `select.all` over MCP), and only otherwise every object. On macOS the menu bar's Select All, Cut, Copy and Paste (keys or clicks) act on a focused field too, and elsewhere the in-window menus' do: the field that had the keyboard when the menu opened gets them, with its selection, and the keyboard back (#516). Not yet: Select All across threaded frames (one frame's text is selected).
- On Windows and Linux the app bar is the window's title bar (its own minimize, maximize and close buttons, drag to move, edges to resize), with the dragon app icon as the brand mark; dialogs and menus size to their content. As on a native menu bar, once one menu is open, moving the pointer onto another title opens that one.
- **Tools:**
- **Selection:** Selection, Direct/Group Selection, Magic Wand, Lasso. A Shift-drag marquee toggles what it reaches: objects with the Selection tool, anchors with Direct and Group Selection (#483); the Lasso adds with Shift and subtracts with Alt. Dragging a path segment with Direct Selection bends it when it's curved (its anchors stay) and moves its two anchors when it's straight, one undo step; the fill, Shift or Alt still pick the whole path (Alt-drag copies it).
- **Saved selections:** Select ▸ Save Selection… asks for a name and keeps the selection in the document (saved with the file, undoable, up to 25); each one is listed at the bottom of the Select menu and a click selects its objects again; Edit Selection… lists them to rename or delete, applied together on OK. A file's saved selections are capped and checked against its objects when it opens. Not yet: Update Selection and the Layers panel's saved-selection menu.
- **Drawing:** Pen, Curvature, anchor tools, Pencil, Paintbrush, Blob Brush, Smooth, Path Eraser, Join. Direction handles dragged with Direct Selection or the Anchor Point tool snap to smart guides, and Shift keeps them at 45° steps from their anchor. Every point a drawing tool places snaps to Smart Guides through one snapper (#506): the Pen's and Curvature tool's anchors, the Pencil's ends, the shape tools' start and dragged corner or radius (Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon, Star, Line Segment, Arc, Spiral, the grids), the Type tool's click and frame, a new artboard's corners.
- **Shapes:** all shape tools (including Flare) and the line, arc, spiral and grid tools. Space held while dragging out a shape, line, arc, spiral or grid moves it at its current size. While a grid is dragged out, Up/Down change its rows (concentric dividers) and Left/Right its columns (radial dividers).
- **Cutting:** Eraser, Scissors, Knife, Mirror & Cut, Line Cut and Rectangle Cut (real geometry, compound paths keep their holes).
- **Transform:** Rotate, Reflect, Scale, Shear (click or Alt-click snaps the reference point to anchors and centres; Alt-click opens the tool's dialog, and a drag with Alt down at the release, from the press or pressed mid-drag, transforms a copy), Reshape, Free Transform (free and perspective distort and shear, switched by the keys held during a handle drag).
- **Live Corners:** drag a live rectangle's corner widgets (Selection or Direct Selection) to round all corners, with a radius readout; with Direct Selection, select corner anchors to show and round just those corners (#381). Each corner keeps its own radius and kind (Round, Inverted Round, Chamfer): Alt-click a widget to cycle the kind, double-click it for the Corners dialog, and the Properties and Transform radius fields set the selected corners (`object.setLiveShape {corners, radius, kind}`). Corners stay circular when the rectangle is scaled unevenly or along its own sides when rotated (the radius keeps its size, or scales by the mean scale with Scale Corners on); only a shear distorts them. On a rectangle that isn't square every corner is the same circle: a radius past half the shorter side stops there for all of them, the widgets sit on the corners as drawn and turn the edited corners red at that limit, CSS export writes the drawn radii, and rectangles saved stretched by older versions get circular corners when their corners are next set (#442). Live Corners work on any path's corners too, as on a rectangle's (#511): a star's, a live polygon's (which also shows them to the Selection tool, has a Corner Radius field in the Properties and Transform panels and keeps its radius as its sides change) and a pen path's, wherever two straight sides meet at an anchor. Direct Selection shows the widgets of every corner, or of the corners holding selected anchors; each corner is a circle tangent to both sides, drawn no larger than takes its cut halfway along its shorter side; a path keeps its uncut outline so its corners stay editable, and the same command, dialog, angle preference and View › Hide Corner Widget apply.
- **Pen:** Alt pressed in the middle of dragging out an anchor splits its handles and keeps the curve already shaped into it (only the outgoing handle follows the pointer); Space held while dragging out an anchor moves it, handles and all. A press on the first anchor of the path being drawn closes it whatever the drag then does: the drag shapes the closing curve (symmetric handles, Alt breaks them) and the release closes the path wherever it ends (#501). Clicking the last anchor of the path being drawn retracts its outgoing handle (convert cursor), and dragging from it pulls out a new one on its own. Auto Add/Delete: over a selected path, a click on a segment adds an anchor and a click on an anchor deletes it (add and delete cursors); Shift held, or Preferences › General › Disable Auto Add/Delete, starts a new path instead. Alt held over a handle end or an anchor of a selected path (the one being drawn too) works as the Anchor Point tool, with its convert cursor: dragging a handle moves it alone, clicking a smooth anchor makes it a corner, dragging an anchor pulls out new symmetric handles, dragging a segment reshapes it; drawing then goes on. Cmd (Ctrl) held drags with the selection tool chosen last, Direct Selection until one is (handles, anchors and segments of the path being drawn or another), and the Pen then goes on drawing its path while that stays selected; the pointer shows that tool's while Cmd is held. The same holds for agents (`pointer_gesture` with `mods.cmd`), as the borrowing now lives in the engine (#494).
- **Path editing (#494):** the handles shown are the handles that drag: Direct Selection drags those of a path selected as a whole (as the Pen leaves it), the Anchor Point tool and Pen+Alt no longer grab handles that Show handles when multiple anchors are selected hides, a handle shorter than the tolerance leaves its anchor to be picked, and the anchor tools pick within Selection & Anchor Display › Tolerance. A dragged segment keeps a smooth anchor at either end smooth. With Direct Selection, the Pen, the Curvature and the anchor tools, a path selected as a whole shows all its anchors selected, and the Control bar and the Properties panel offer Convert (corner, smooth) for them too; Remove and Cut wait for anchors direct-selected (#504). A handle drag gathers its snap targets once per drag (it took 21 ms per pointer move on a 20,000-path document, now 1 ms; `vectorcraft-cli perf` measures handle and segment drags on a 5,000-anchor path).
- **Graphs:** Column, Stacked Column, Bar, Stacked Bar, Line, Area, Scatter, Pie and Radar graph tools with Graph Data and Graph Type.
- **Other:** Eyedropper, Gradient annotator, Artboard (Alt-drag duplicates an artboard, and its art with Move/Copy Artwork with Artboard on; Copy, Cut and Paste take the artboard with its art, Paste right of the last artboard, Paste in Place where it was, into this or another document, #446), Measure, Type, Hand, Zoom, Rotate View.
- **Editing type:** double-clicking type with a selection tool switches to the Type tool with the caret where it was clicked.
- **Temporary tools:** Cmd with any other tool drags with the selection tool used last (Selection, Direct Selection or Group Selection). Held Space pans and Cmd+Space zooms (Cmd+Alt+Space out) whatever the tool.
- **Panel drag and drop:** art dragged off the canvas onto the Symbols panel becomes a symbol, onto the Swatches panel a pattern swatch and onto the Brushes panel an Art brush; a symbol dragged onto the canvas places an instance where it is dropped, and a brush dragged onto a path is applied to it.
- **Tool double-clicks:** double-clicking a tool's button opens its options: Hand fits the artboard in the window, Zoom shows 100 %, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear open their Object › Transform dialogs, the Selection, Direct Selection and Group Selection tools the Move dialog (Enter opens these seven tools' dialogs too), Gradient, Eyedropper, Blend and the Liquify tools their panels or options, and the Pencil, Paintbrush, Smooth, Blob Brush and Eraser tools their Tool Options (Fidelity, fill, the tolerances, the brush size).
- **Layers panel:** every layer, sublayer, group and object is a clickable row at any depth: a click highlights it and makes its layer current (new art goes there), Shift-click a range, Ctrl/Cmd-click toggles. Sublayers are no longer treated as objects: clicks, marquees, Select All and the Select menu take the art inside them, and each sublayer selects in its own colour. Selection squares on rows with selected art (click selects a row's art, Shift adds or removes; dragging the square moves the selection to another row, Alt copies), the eye and lock on every row with drag-down-the-column (one undo step), Ctrl/Cmd-click an eye for per-layer Outline, Alt-click an eye or lock to hide or lock the other layers (again: show or unlock them all), triangles with Alt to open or close everything inside, drag and drop rows above, below or into layers and groups with a drop line (Alt copies) and a dimmed copy of the row under the pointer (dropped on the trash rows are deleted, on New Layer duplicated, as in Illustrator), inline rename, Delete key on highlighted rows. 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; drawn points, #506: hovering shows where the press goes, the point lands on the other objects' anchors, centres and paths ("anchor", "center", "path") or lines up with their anchors, edges and centres ("align"), the Pen's on the path being drawn too, near a construction guide through the anchor before it on that guide (Preferences › Smart Guides › Construction Guides and Angles), and with Shift kept to its 45° step or a square's diagonal it slides along that way into line; the targets are gathered once per document state, from the art in the window, and the anchors, centres and lines near the pointer are found by bisection, so hovering never rescans the document), 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), a right-click on either ruler or the origin box to pick the document's units (the current one checked; `document.setUnits`, one undo step, #528), 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.
- Live effects with previewing dialogs: Distort & Transform, Path, Convert to Shape, 15 Warp styles, Round Corners, Scribble, Effect → Pathfinder (all 10 operations, live on groups; several loose objects are grouped first, in one undo step), Color Adjustments (Brightness/Contrast, Curves, Levels, Hue/Saturation, Shift to Color, Temperature/Tint, on vectors, live type and embedded images), and raster drop shadow, glows and feather. SVG and PDF export keep live effects (geometry baked; SVG raster effects as filters).
- **Type:** Text Wrap, Type on a Path effects (Rainbow/Skew/3D Ribbon/Stair Step/Gravity) and Options (Flip, Align to Path, Spacing; OK keeps the type where it is), type on a path's start, centre and end brackets (Selection and Direct Selection drag them to set where the type runs, slide it along its path and, across the path, flip it: #429), Character and Paragraph Styles (override-preserving redefine), Area Type Options (rows/columns/inset/first baseline), threaded text across any closed shapes, Fit Headline. Area type resizes like Illustrator's type areas: a bounding-box handle drag (Selection tool) or Area Type Options Width/Height size the frame and the text reflows at its size (threads too); Direct Selection drags a frame corner or edge (`text.reshapeArea`). Point type still scales. The Selection tool shows the type widget beside selected type's bounding box (hollow on point type, filled on area type); double-clicking it converts between them (Type › Convert To Area Type / Convert To Point Type), keeping the text and its styles in place. Variable fonts list every named instance as a style of their family (Figtree Light to Black and their italics, Bahnschrift, Segoe UI Variable), and the instance chosen is shaped, drawn, outlined and measured at its axis settings; PDF and SVG embed it as that instance. Variation axis sliders are not done. Hebrew and Arabic are laid out right to left with the Unicode bidirectional algorithm (embedded Latin and numbers keep their direction, lines put in visual order after wrapping) in point, area and path type, with caret, selection and arrow keys in visual order; each paragraph's direction comes from its first strong character unless Paragraph Direction sets it (Paragraph panel with Show Indic Options, `text.setFormat {direction}`), and new type aligns to the start of its direction. SVG export outlines right-to-left text. Font Size and Leading are combo boxes in the Character and Properties panels (Font Size in the Control bar too, beside the Character link, font family and style): type, step with ↑/↓ or the spinner, scrub the label, or pick a preset (6–72 pt, shown in the type unit; Leading also Auto), each pick one undo step; Kerning and Tracking list -100…200; a size, leading, kerning or tracking the selected text doesn't share shows blank (#458).
- **Interface languages, vertical type:** VectorCraft ▸ Language (or Preferences ▸ User Interface) picks Automatic (the system locale) or a registered language, persisted as `interfaceLanguage`. Translations come from per-language catalogs (`i18n/*.tsv`): Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Spanish (neutral international Spanish, for every `es-*` locale) and Italian (every `it-*` locale) cover the whole interface, Czech and Brazilian Portuguese every menu label, Brazilian Portuguese the shell's `tl!` literals too (tested); Spanish and Italian also translate status-bar and error messages as they are shown (`@msg` templates, every message literal tested; the messages themselves stay English for agents); untranslated text stays English. Japanese and Chinese glyphs come from the craft-fonts build input (release builds) or the installed fonts, Czech, Spanish and Italian ones from the bundled UI fonts. The web app follows the browser's languages (or `?lang=`). The Basic toolbar's Type button holds Vertical Type in its flyout. Vertical Type, Vertical Area Type and Vertical Type on a Path create vertical text (columns right to left, upright CJK glyphs and marks with `vert` alternates, Latin and longer numbers on their side, two- and three-digit numbers set as tate-chu-yoko in one em of the column (kept whole when justified), upright glyphs centred on the column (tracked or justified too), point type's anchor on the first column's centre line); kinsoku (the strict set) applies to horizontal and vertical Japanese, and justified Japanese lines spread their room between characters (not inside Latin words); Paragraph panel › Mojikumi Set (shown with Preferences › Type › Show East Asian Options, `text.setFormat {mojikumi}`): None or Line-end Punctuation Half Width (new type's default, as in Illustrator; older documents and imported text keep None) shares one half-em space between consecutive punctuation, sets a closing mark ending a line half width and an opening bracket starting a wrapped line flush with its start, and puts a quarter em between Japanese and Latin letters or digits; Paragraph panel menu › Top-to-Top / Bottom-to-Bottom Leading measures leading from em box top to top (area type's first line touches the frame) or from baseline to baseline (new type in a Japanese interface starts top to top, with em box centre character alignment, #432); Paragraph panel menu › Burasagari None / Regular / Force (`text.setFormat {burasagari: "none"|"standard"|"forced"}`) hangs an East Asian comma or full stop (、。，．､｡) ending an area type line outside it, Regular (new type's default) when it doesn't fit and Force always (the rest of the line then fills the measure; closing brackets and Latin punctuation don't hang); Character panel menu › Character Alignment (with the East Asian options; `text.setFormat` or `text.setRangeStyle {charAlign}`) lines characters smaller than the largest on their line up on the Roman baseline or the em box top/right, centre or bottom/left (ICF top and bottom not yet); Type ▸ Type Orientation switches existing text; caret, selection, hit testing and arrow keys follow the writing direction. Vertical text exports to PDF as real text and to SVG as outlines.
- **Transparency:** opacity masks (clip/invert/disable/link), exported as SVG `<mask>` and PDF soft masks.
- **Advanced art:** live Blends (steps/distance/smooth colour, editable spine, anchor-targeted Blend tool, faithful interpolation, knockout), Envelope Distort (warp/mesh/top object, Reset, full Envelope Options, mesh handles, Edit Contents; type, images, symbols, gradients, patterns and appearance distorted everywhere), Liquify tools with options and pen pressure, Puppet Warp with rotating pins, Perspective Grid with presets, movable planes and projected type (choosing a perspective tool shows the grid; Hide Grid hides it with the tool still chosen), Gradient Mesh, Shape Builder (stroke-only open paths and lines cut the regions they cross and enclose regions of their own; filled open paths count as closed; erase mode while Alt/Option is held: a minus pointer, red highlights of what will go, a click or drag deletes the regions touched, the pieces of open lines and the edges (outline pieces between the points where paths meet, opening their paths there) it passes over, one undo step, `shapeBuilder.merge {erase}` and `shapeBuilder.regions` edges over MCP), Live Paint (every path an edge, open lines included), Image Trace (12 presets, colour layers traced in parallel; a trace past two million anchor points or an image over 64 megapixels is refused with advice rather than running out of memory, and a selection too large to outline shows its bounds (#525); Object › Image Trace › Make and Make and Expand trace at once with the Default preset, #543; with an image selected the Control bar and the Properties panel show Image Trace, whose arrow traces with any preset, Mask (`object.maskImage`: a clipping path on the image's outline, selected so its handles crop), Crop Image and Embed or Unembed in place of Fill and Stroke; with an Image Trace object selected, its Preset (choosing another traces again), the Image Trace panel and Expand, plus Release in Properties; the View modes are not done), pattern swatches with pattern editing mode, live Repeat (radial/grid/mirror).
- **Paint and appearance (M3):**
- **Swatches:** names follow the colour model and are unique; Swatch Options (process/spot, Global, Gray/RGB/HSB/CMYK/Web, live preview); editing a global or spot swatch recolours every linked fill, stroke and text run in one undo step; multi-select and delete with confirmation; New Swatch and New Color Group dialogs (a group from the selected artwork's colours); swatches in colour groups convert, separate and count like any other. The Swatches panel selects ranges and whole groups, has a find field, and drags swatches to reorder, regroup or paint art; Add Used Colors, Select All Unused, Merge, Ungroup and Sort by Kind; a CMYK document keeps applied colours in CMYK. Swatch libraries: nine generated colour libraries and five gradient libraries in a library panel, saved and loaded as `.vcswatches`, `.gpl` or CSS. Tints of global and spot colours ("Name 40%") stay linked and separate as a percentage of their plate. Spot colours can be defined in Lab (Spot Colors options). A built-in [Registration] swatch prints on every plate.
- **Colour:** a Color Picker (colour field, H/S/B/R/G/B channel slider, HSB/RGB/Lab/CMYK fields, hex, web-only snapping, out-of-gamut correction); the Color panel follows each colour's own model and Alt-click paints the other proxy; proxies look through groups and show "?" for mixed paint; Invert, Complement, Apply Last Color (`,`) and Apply Last Gradient (`.`) keep the colour model; every paint command feeds the recent colours. The Color Guide has 21 harmony rules, Steps and Variation options and Limit to Library. Adjust Color Balance (its Global mode shifts tints) and Saturate preview live; Edit Colors and Recolor also reach meshes, images and patterns. Recolor Artwork has colour reduction, five recolour methods, presets, Limit to Library, a colour-wheel Edit tab and Edit Color Group; a local Color Themes panel saves five-colour themes. Fill/Stroke chips open swatch and mixer popovers (the Properties panel has the Control bar's Fill and Stroke chips, Stroke link and weight spinner, with nothing selected too), panels have Illustrator's Window menu keys (Align Shift+F7, Transform Shift+F8, Pathfinder Cmd+Shift+F9, Layers F7, Character Cmd+T…; every panel can be given one in Edit › Keyboard Shortcuts), and Eyedropper Options pick up and apply chosen attributes (Alt and Shift+Alt, image pixels). Fills and strokes can overprint (Attributes panel, Overprint Black options), and CMYK documents blend in inks on screen, in PDF and when flattening. Document Color Mode converts the art, symbols, pattern tiles and swatches through the colour settings: Gray stays Gray, RGB greys separate into four-colour greys and a rich black as Illustrator does, or go on the black plate only with `grays: "black"` (also for `document.open {colorMode}`).
- **Gradients:** lossless, validated gradient params; gradients follow rotate, reflect, shear, non-uniform scale and distortions; the Gradient tool edits the fill or stroke of the active proxy, type included; an interactive on-canvas annotator (move, length/angle, rotate, add/move/delete/duplicate stops, midpoints, a stop popover, Delete and arrow keys). The Gradient panel has the Fill/Stroke proxy, a gradient-swatch dropdown with Save to Swatches, midpoint locations, Alt-drag to copy or swap stops, swatch drops on the ramp and a stop eyedropper; copied appearances and graphic styles place gradients on each target's own bounds; gradient handles snap and honour Constrain Angle. Gradient stops stay linked to global and spot swatches. Freeform gradients (points and lines) are edited on the canvas; radial gradients have an extent ellipse, an aspect handle and an off-centre focal point (SVG `fx`/`fy`, PDF two-point radials). A stroke's gradient runs within, along or across it. Object ▸ Expand turns gradients into N objects or a gradient mesh.
- **Strokes:** one stroke-geometry module shared by the canvas, SVG, PDF and Outline Stroke; dotted lines (zero-length dashes draw dots or squares); arrowheads with hollow outlines, tip-on-end or extend-past-end alignment and one opacity for line and head. SVG and PDF export arrowheads, width profiles, brushes and aligned strokes exactly as the canvas draws them; Outline Stroke and the live Outline Stroke effect outline every stroke item as drawn (dashes, heads, profiles, alignment); dashes can be fitted to corners and path ends; width profiles carry through dashes, and their corners take the join. The Stroke panel edits type's character strokes, follows the stroke units (its weight presets are round values in that unit: `0.25 mm`, `0.0625 in`, `1 px`, #426; fields show four decimals in mm, cm and inches, three in points), shows mixed values blank and opens from the Control bar. A width profile library, thirty more arrowheads, and Width Point Edit with multi-select and discontinuous points. Visual bounds and clicks cover the whole painted stroke. Scale Strokes & Effects, Scale Corners and Use Preview Bounds work everywhere, and new art inherits stroke options, a graphic style or the whole last appearance.
- **Appearance:** the Appearance panel's selected row drives every paint, stroke, gradient and transparency edit (`item` on the commands); effects apply to one fill or stroke; per-item Opacity popups, whose blend-mode list and opacity slider stay open inside them (#430; the Control bar's Stroke popover too); Mixed Appearances, Layers target dots and basic-appearance rules. Effects can be reordered, moved between items and copied by dragging; Show All Hidden Attributes; clicking an effect edits it in place; the object thumbnail drags onto art; effects render on type, images, symbols, blends, envelopes, meshes and repeats, and per-item raster effects export. Groups, layers and type have their own fills, strokes and effects (Contents and Characters rows); the Layers panel's target circles target layers, groups and objects; Expand Appearance turns fills, strokes, effects and brushes into objects.
- **Masks and clipping:** opacity-mask controls work while the mask is being edited; transparency commands take ids and work without a selection; clipping sets clip by compound paths, even-odd paths, text and groups on screen and in raster export, matching SVG/PDF. Alt-click shows only the mask; SVG masks keep Clip and Invert; the transparency grid is per-document state; a clipping path's own fill and stroke paint behind and over the clipped art; layers can be clipping masks.
- **Transparency:** three-state Knockout Group (on, neutral, off), Opacity & Mask Define Knockout Shape, Page Isolated Blending and Page Knockout Group, on screen and in SVG/PDF. Blend modes match the standard formulas on screen, in SVG and in PDF, and non-isolated groups blend with the art below. Flatten Transparency with presets, a dialog and a Flattener Preview panel.
- **Graphic styles:** styles keep opacity and blend mode, capture groups and type, apply on top with Alt, and link to the objects using them; Redefine, Break Link, Graphic Style Options, Select All Unused, Sort by Name, and Select > Same Graphic Style / Appearance Attribute. The panel has list and thumbnail views with rendered previews, merge, reorder and drag and drop, plus a Control bar Style picker; six generated style libraries save and load as `.vcstyles`.
- **Neutral wording:** labels, MCP tool text, docs and packaging use neutral names, and `cargo xtask brands` (part of `cargo xtask ci`) fails on vendor names.
- **Colour, type and file workflows:** Recolor Artwork (dialog with harmonies), Edit Colors, Find & Replace, Change Case, Smart Punctuation, Guides, Lock/Hide Above, Transform Each, Rasterize.
- **Fonts:** a font is found by any of its names (family and style in every language of its name table, legacy family/style pairs, PostScript name), so documents from other apps open with the font they name; Find Font and `text.fonts` say for each font whether it was found exactly, by another name, substituted or missing, and how many glyphs are missing. PDF and `.ai` import brings Japanese text back as live type: CID fonts without a ToUnicode map read through the standard CMaps, vertical columns (WMode 1) as vertical type, letter spacing as tracking; a glyph is live type only when the installed font (in the closest style of its family) draws the same glyph, and text in a font that isn't installed comes in as live type shown in the fallback font until the font is installed (exports that draw it — PDF, EPS, EMF/WMF, raster, SVG outlines or embedded fonts — warn that they wrote the fallback font; `textAs: outlines` keeps the PDF's embedded glyphs).
- **Files (M4):**
-`.vectorcraft` (lossless JSON, compressed, atomic saves, save down to v1), Save As with a format chooser, Save a Copy, Revert, templates, Data Recovery after a crash (browser tabs hold their copies with Web Locks too, so a background tab's copies are never taken for a crash's, and a tab repairs copies another removed when it resumes: #367), background save and export. The desktop app writes its warnings and errors (graphics adapter, a lost graphics device, panics the guard recovered from) to standard error and to `logs/vectorcraft.log` next to the preferences, the two previous runs kept and each file capped at 16 MiB, so a launch without a terminal still leaves something to attach to a bug report (#465).
- SVG/SVGZ in and out with SVG Options, Preserve Editing, symbols, filters, rich text and physical units (SVG type under a transform or `viewBox` scale opens at the size it draws at, the scale moved into its size, leading, baseline shift and strokes, a stretch, skew or rotation kept as its transform: #396; a top-level group with a clip path, such as a clipped Inkscape layer, opens as a layer with a clipping mask, its name kept: #420); PDF and PDF-compatible `.ai` in and out (layers, with hidden ones kept hidden with their art and nested ones as sublayers, on pages of up to 64 million operators, art whose layer can't be told going to a hidden, non-printing layer rather than showing or printing: #419; strokes kept live, a fill and a stroke of one outline as one object; a type object's stroke written as each glyph's outline stroked back on the type, so it stays one editable object; lines wrapped in a frame (each wrapped line ending in a space, one left edge, leading and font) back as one area type object, left aligned or justified with its paragraph spacing, where laying it out breaks the lines where the file does; glyphs set apart by gaps wider than a space (a barcode's digit groups) keeping their places; layers stacked as the pages mark them even when one first paints on a later page, art ending a layer's marked content or a clip closing in a later layer kept in its own layer, and layers with no art kept empty: #508; masks, editable text with type set along a curve coming back as type on a path, each artboard's art on its own page only, an `.ai`'s white page under its layers left out rather than coming in as art, spot colours, presets, security, marks and bleed, ICC output intents, raster effects, subset fonts, PDF/X, PDF layers, overprint, page thumbnails, fast web view, PDF 1.3). CMYK images keep their ink amounts from PDF import (and from placed CMYK TIFFs) to PDF export: a CMYK JPEG passes through unchanged, others stay CMYK (DeviceCMYK, or ICC-based CMYK in PDF/X-3/X-4) unless the Output settings convert them; the canvas shows them through the working CMYK profile (#320).
- 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 a PostScript Level 3 interpreter written from the PostScript Language Reference: resource categories and `resourceforall`, local and global VM (`currentglobal`/`setglobal`/`gcheck`), `clipsave`/`cliprestore`, subarrays and substrings that share storage, the standard dictionaries in `systemdict`, `dictstack`, `internaldict`, executable filters and strings, `load` by any key, `//name` immediate names, `token`, `execform`, user paths, `cshow`, `rootfont`, `cachestatus`, colour rendering and halftone queries, file `status` and data read with `flushfile`, and `pdfmark` marks dropped (Discord feedback, #466, #469, #474). Masked images (`ImageType 3` in its three interleavings) and reusable streams are read, and an image's several data sources are read in turn, as the reference defines (procedures that read one file get their own rows: such images came in banded, #498). `restore` puts dictionaries back as they were at the `save`, so programs that count their saves in a dictionary read to their end (part of #505). 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. It is tested with programs written from the specification in the ways common generators use these features; Inkscape/cairo EPS files open as vectors. 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).
- Place and the Links panel, Package, File Info, Print with print presets, PostScript output and print tiling, slices and Save for Web, Export for Screens and Asset Export, CSS Properties, PNG/PDF/SVG/text clipboard flavours; files copied in a file manager paste as art (SVG, PDF, EMF/WMF, bitmaps) on every desktop platform, and Linux/Wayland reads the compositor's clipboard (#398); on Linux the Paste menu checks the clipboard off the UI thread, so an X11 owner that never answers can't freeze the window (#510); screenshots and other copied pictures paste as embedded images at the view centre everywhere, the web included (#457).
- **Performance:** 20k shapes + 1k texts render in 27 ms per full-retina frame (7.8 ms zoomed), 7× faster than the first version. The UI thread never blocks. The web build is 7.1 MB gzipped.
- **Graphics processor:** the canvas is rasterized on the CPU and the GPU only composites it, so any GPU that can show the window will do. Preferences › Performance › Graphics Processor (`gpuPreference`) is Automatic by default: the power-saving GPU on Windows and macOS (the integrated one on hybrid-graphics laptops, where presenting from the discrete GPU made the window flicker, #306), and the GPU the desktop runs on under Linux, where KWin on an NVIDIA GPU refused frames from a Ryzen's integrated GPU and 0.5.0 crashed at startup (#502). Power Saving and High Performance pick a kind of GPU; `WGPU_POWER_PREF`, `WGPU_ADAPTER_NAME` and `WGPU_BACKEND` override them. The app picks among the adapters that can present to the window (native backends before OpenGL, hardware before software, and on Windows a GPU's DX12 adapter before its Vulkan one: Intel's Vulkan driver made the whole window flicker black, #545), and if the window fails on one while starting up it starts again without it instead of crashing; Help › About, `ui.inspect` and the log name the adapter in use. When the browser drops the page's WebGPU device or WebGL context, the web build writes recovery copies, starts again on new graphics with the same app and uploads its textures again; if it can't, it removes the stale canvas and says to reload, which offers the copies back. The desktop app writes the copies and says to restart (#369). 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). Pens and touch drive the tools as the mouse does, and a tap pressed and lifted within one frame clicks where it tapped (#491); pen pressure reaches the Liquify tools' Use Pressure Pen on Windows, while winit 0.30 reports none on macOS or Linux and egui none on the web. On Linux, see `docs/development.md` for pens under Wayland.
- **Tests and robustness:** ~2,840 automated tests: model-based property tests, a junk-parameter sweep over every command, import fuzzing (SVG, PDF, libraries), golden renders, and MCP end-to-end tests over stdio. Shipped code never panics (workspace lints and a rollback safety net; see `docs/development.md`).

Weights, evidence and the missing items per area: [target-app-parity.md](docs/target-app-parity.md#feature-areas).
## Parity estimate
## Languages
_Method (2026-10-02; M3 rows re-derived 2026-10-04, file, export, print, links and UI-chrome rows after M4 on 2026-10-05):_ Illustrator's feature surface is split into 22 areas, weighted by how much of the app (and of
real users' work) each represents. Each area is scored by depth of behaviour, not by presence of a menu item: an area
is 100% only when every feature in it behaves like Illustrator. Feature parity = Σ weight × score / Σ weight. Remaining
time is counted per area from what is missing, calibrated on measured throughput: in the last session one agent landed
about 20 medium features (Text Wrap, Graphs, Effect → Pathfinder, export baking…) in ~16 h wall clock including builds
and CI on a heavily loaded machine — about 0.8 h per medium feature; large subsystems (3D, raster filters, vertical type)
are counted bottom-up. The M3 rows (colour, strokes, appearance) come from a detailed 92-task M3 plan whose review
found more missing depth than the first estimate; all 92 tasks landed on 2026-10-04 and 2026-10-05 with 6–8 agents in parallel; its packages, planned at 5–11 h each, took
about 1–1.5 agent-hours each, so the other rows (estimated on the older scale) are likely high.

| Libraries, Links, Package | 2 | 50% | a local Libraries panel (no cloud by design); Links and Package are done | 5–8 |
5.**Raster effects** (G2) alongside: 28 filters and the Effect Gallery, 23–39 h.
6.**Then:** type core and advanced type (G4), the Illustrator 2026 additions (G13), 3D (G3).
## Out of scope (by design or by law)
- **Native `.ai` private data:** it's undocumented. We read the PDF-compatible part, so Illustrator-only live objects arrive as appearance, and plain groups arrive ungrouped: that part draws each object on its own and marks only layers, clipping groups and groups with opacity, blending or a mask (those come back). Art outside the artboards isn't in that part at all (Illustrator's PDF part leaves it out), so it doesn't open; the import says so in a note (#472). That part also has no paragraphs: area type is written line by line, and comes back as area type only where its font is installed and lays the lines out with the same breaks, else as a point type object per line (#508). Art off the page that a PDF does draw opens on the pasteboard.
- **Adobe cloud services** (Libraries sync, Adobe Fonts, Firefly/generative): these are pluggable provider APIs, not built in.
- **Speed:** off-thread multithreaded rendering, instant startup, a responsive UI on huge files.
- **Robustness:** exact curve booleans (no "cannot perform operation"), property-tested undo/redo and file round trips.
- **Openness:** a documented native format, first-class SVG, and the same app in the browser.
- **Automation:** every command, gesture, dialog and widget is drivable by agents (JSON channel + MCP), with headless batch mode.
| Date | What landed |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-13 | Image Trace's colour presets trace flat art with its own colours however many are asked for (noise no longer shatters it: 16 Colors 70 → 4 paths on the harness's flat art; no slivers of in-between colour along anti-aliased edges), and the photo presets trace a photo into smooth tones without specks or hairlines (High Fidelity Photo 3,653 → 121 paths, colour error 2.30 → 1.75; 16 megapixels traced where 4 were refused) ([`docs/image-trace-quality.md`](docs/image-trace-quality.md)). |
| 2026-10-13 | Image Trace traces anti-aliased and blurred images to a fraction of a pixel in Black and White, Grayscale and Color, with corners put back, straight edges as lines and round outlines as circles; a harness measures every preset before and after ([`docs/image-trace-quality.md`](docs/image-trace-quality.md)): outlines 0.31 → 0.09 px off on average (Default), 0.27 → 0.06 (Black and White Logo). |
| 2026-10-13 | Effect › 3D and Materials: Inflate takes Twist, Taper and Cap (Hollow leaves the back open), as the 3D docs list for every type. |
| 2026-10-12 | Effect › 3D and Materials: Extrude & Bevel (depth, twist, taper, solid or hollow caps, five bevel shapes with repeat, spacing, inside and both sides), Inflate (volume, both sides) and Rotate, with Position presets and the rotation and light gizmos; live, exported as vector faces, expandable (#1407). |
| 2026-10-12 | `convert --editing-data` (`editingData: "always"`) opens a `.ai` from its editing data even where its page, which can be older, draws differently, with a note. |
| 2026-10-12 | `.ai` import reads an object's art style (a fill and a stroke, variable widths too, with an Outer Glow or Drop Shadow) as its own appearance, paints a clipping path's own fill under what it clips and keeps a group's transparency as its PDF part draws them. |
| 2026-10-12 | `.ai` import reads gradients with their matrix (radials and skew too), focal point and stop order, gradient meshes and the artboards' names from the editing data. |
| 2026-10-12 | The Rectangular Grid and Polar Grid tools take their options: a click opens the size, the divider counts with a skew slider each, Use Outside Rectangle As Frame (rectangular) or Create Compound Path From Ellipses (polar) and Fill Grid; the choices stay with the tool, so dragging draws with them, and scripts and agents pass them to `shape.rectangularGrid` and `shape.polarGrid` (#1377, in part). |
| 2026-10-12 | A `.ai` file with placed (linked) pictures opens from its editing data, with its guides, sublayers and hidden objects: each picture is a linked image in its place, showing the low-resolution preview the file keeps until its file is found or relinked (#1264). Scores unchanged. |
| 2026-10-12 | Desktop printing adopts the shared `craft-print` spooler with exact physical sheet sizes. Windows 7 retains its WMI/viewer transport and excludes the shared backend; compatibility CI checks the dependency tree and PE imports. Scores unchanged. |
| 2026-10-12 | Graphs: Object › Graph › Design… and Marker… (designs with a preview, New Design, Rename, Delete Design, Paste Design, Select Unused, and markers drawn with a design or None) (#1092); Graph Data opens as a worksheet with Import Data…, column width and decimals (#1138), and takes Transpose, Switch x/y, `|` line breaks in labels and the pie Legend, Position and Sort options (#1115); Graph Type adds Add Drop Shadow and Add Legend Across Top (#1119), widths past 100%, First Row and First Column in Front, and Draw Filled Lines (#1136); graphs keep their label formatting when drawn again (#1137). Align: a Horizontal & Vertical Align Center button (#1073); Align to Key Object makes the topmost selected object the key (#1221), and the palette's key entry reads Cancel Key Object (#1224). Pen: the nearest end wins over snapping, Alt on the last anchor edits it, and Enter, Escape or a tool switch finish a handle preview as one undo step (#821). Direct Selection: a click on an anchor of an already selected path selects that anchor alone (#1237). Make Compound Path keeps the backmost object's paint, and a selected member reads and changes the compound's fill rule (#1225). Shape Builder and Live Paint no longer turn a line's loose end past a crossing into a piece that runs out and back (#1230). Art moved or duplicated with an artboard follows Transform Pattern Tiles (#1219). A click with the Rectangular Grid tool opens its options dialog (#1169). Commands that change nothing (Lock, Hide, Transform Each, Rearrange Artboards and others) add no undo step (#1233). Saving with missing placed files keeps their relink data, and .ai export honours the chosen artboards (#718). SVG export keeps Unicode data-attribute names, and SVG Options refuses an invalid artboard range (#989). CMYK colours given in percent with a component under 1 keep their scale (#1249). Colour Image Trace keeps close dark tones apart (#1247). macOS: the Save sheet has a Format menu (#1235). The Hand and Zoom tools show drawn cursors on every platform (#1238). Czech: the remaining strings are translated, and Pathfinder's Add reads "Sjednotit" (#1226). MCP: a lost reply reports that the edit may have happened instead of replaying it (#1246); `select.key` checks its id and agents can read the key object (#1222). Tests: the command sweeps and import fuzz tests fail on a panic caught by the engine's guard (#1218), and the envelope export test ignores PDF dates and file IDs (#1220). Effect › Artistic › Film Grain (Grain, Highlight Area, Intensity; Photoshop-style filters 29/57) (#1282), and Craquelure, Mosaic Tiles and Stained Glass redraw 25–30% faster with identical pixels (#1265). Direct Selection: clicking a segment selects only that segment, and Delete removes just it (#1300); Shift-click deselects one anchor of a path selected whole (#1263). Pen + Alt converts anchors of paths inside a selected group or compound path (#1306). The Curvature tool shows circular point markers without direction handles (#1284). Snap to Point: pressing near an anchor drags by that anchor, with Smart Guides on or off (#1313). Transform Again repeats the options of the transform it repeats (#1303). Aligning anchors that are already aligned adds no undo step (#1276), and type commands that change nothing record none either (#1316). Simplify keeps the path selected with its new anchors, and its dialog previews and shows the anchor count (#1305). Adding a stroke colour to an unpainted zero-width stroke gives it a visible 1 pt width (#1256). The Eyedropper samples locked objects, template layers and art outside isolation mode (#1260), and shows a pipette cursor (#1288). Fonts named by their full name resolve to the right face (#1267), and Proportional Metrics brings the matching kerning (`apkn`, `vkrn`, `vapk`) (#1291). Artboards: Escape leaves Artboard editing (#1296), Document Setup's Edit Artboards switches to the Artboard tool (#1294), and the Artboard tool starts on the active artboard (#1309). New and imported documents use the Gridline every and Subdivisions preferences (#1314). Send to Current Layer refuses a hidden or locked current layer (#1301), and layer row commands check explicit ids (#1255). Links: Find in Folder… finds missing linked files in a folder and its subfolders and can copy them into the document's folder (#1287). Image Trace traces images over 64 megapixels scaled down instead of refusing them (#1315). DXF export marks closed curves as closed SPLINE entities (#1320). EPS import: closepath respects the path size limit (#1311). The interface is available in Hungarian (#1302), and more Czech labels are translated (#1259). Linux RPMs declare shared-library capabilities (#1290). CI pins every third-party action to a verified commit (#1321). Select menu commands skip hidden and locked art and stay inside the isolated group in isolation mode (#1325). Fill, stroke, gradient and Appearance panel commands that change nothing add no undLine truncated
| 2026-10-11 | Effect › Brush Strokes: Accented Edges, Angled Strokes, Crosshatch, Dark Strokes, Ink Outlines, Spatter, Sprayed Strokes, Sumi-e (G2). Command parameters from agents and files checked before anything changes (paint, place, cuts, dashes, crop, asset ids, anchors, paths, distort; #984–#999); command dialogs keep whole numbers whole, so Create Object Mosaic takes the tiles typed (#1000); stepper arrows take Shift (×10) and Ctrl/Cmd (÷10) like the arrow keys (#991). Exports and Rasterize supersample Art Optimized edges, so shapes meeting edge to edge leave no seam (#983). Character and paragraph styles take leading, kerning, mojikumi and the other attributes left out at their defaults (#1001). Drawing, typing and pasting with no layer shown and unlocked is refused instead of adding art to a hidden or locked layer (#1002). MCP `add_text` gives type on or in a path the colour asked for (#1003). MCP `screenshot` of a connected app renders the artboard asked for (#1004). `vectorcraft-cli run` ends quietly when its reader closes early (#1005). Select › All on Active Artboard selects on the artboard made active, not always the first (#1006). Reverse Gradient keeps off-centre midpoints, mirrored (#1007). A polar grid with no radial dividers draws none (#1008). Use Precise Cursors also covers the Pen's join pointer (#1009). SVGs with one absolute and one unitless root side import at their size, unstretched (#1010). DXF US survey inches, yards and miles open at their size and name (#1011). A file placed into a document with no other links follows its first change even while the app sits idle (#1031). PDF import keeps the style a font name says when the file doesn't embed the font (#1023). Shift selects ruler guides and art together, and Delete removes both (#1022). Open filled paths are hit by their fill on every side, the rotate cursor bows around the corner it is at, the flip icons match their flips, the Color Picker previews on the selection, and Properties › Transform reaches Scale Corners and Scale Strokes & Effects (#1036). Offset Path and the other booleans finish on outlines where the sweep used to loop until memory ran out (linesweeper 0.5, #1028). Floating panel groups stack into sets that move together, collapse to their tabs and dock as extra dock columns that scroll (#1020). Ruler guides live on layers: listed in the Layers panel, shown, hidden, locked, duplicated, merged and deleted with their layer, and moved between layers (#1021). A `.ai` whose editing data uses global process colours (`Xk`/`XK`) or pattern fills keeps its sublayers: the colours come in as global swatches at their tint, the patterns as pattern swatches (#1025). A `.ai` in PostScript form opens through its layers, read from the program itself, also when it names the prolog defining its operators without including it, as Rhino and other CAD apps write it (#1027). A fill or stroke chosen while the Type tool has characters selected colours just those characters (#1063). Scaled type shows its scaled font size, leading, baseline shift and horizontal scale in the Character panel, and a size typed there is the size you get (#1034). Character panel menu › Proportional Metrics sets Japanese and Chinese full-width glyphs on the font's proportional widths in horizontal type (#966). Align, Distribute, Move, Arrange, Lock, Hide, Ungroup and other Object commands that would change nothing no longer record an undo step or mark the document changed (#1060). Spot colours defined in Lab open with their Lab values from `.ai` and PDF files, instead of as wrong RGB colours or their CMYK equivalents (#1032). Build scripts leave a generated source they wouldn't change untouched, so the next build doesn't compile most of the workspace again where file times lose their sub-second part (#1051). A fill colour recolours the gradient mesh point last clicked with the Mesh tool or Direct Selection, and a Mesh tool click on a mesh's point selects that mesh (#1052). The All Tools drawer stays two tools wide instead of filling a wide window (#1054). Text Wrap's Make, Release and Options refuse a list of object ids with a malformed or unknown id instead of skipping it (#1055). A freeform gradient line with a malformed point index is refused instead of being shortened to the indices that are valid (#1056). The Corners dialog (`ui.corners`) refuses a malformed object id or a listed anchor that isn't a corner instead of editing the selection or the other corners (#1057). New View refuses a centre that isn't exactly [x, y] and a rotation that isn't a number, instead of trimming the one and saving the other as 0° (#1058). The command sweeps try junk scale, spacing and artboard values too, which they had skipped since before those bugs were fixed (#1059). EPS and PostScript `arc` and `arcn` with huge angles no longer hang the import, and an arc whose angles are whole turns apart is empty, as the PostScript reference defines it (#1062). Align and DisLine truncated

## How to update this file
After each milestone task lands, update the status column and remaining estimates, and move items into "Shipped so far". Keep estimates honest: re-derive them from what remains, never from wishful velocity.
The full pre-standard record of what landed is kept in [docs/roadmap.md](docs/roadmap.md#progress-log-before-the-progress-docs-standard).
## Revision history

An independent, bounded Rust reader for native Affinity documents: `.af` from Affinity 3 and
`.afdesign`, `.afphoto` and `.afpub` from Affinity 1 and 2 (container versions 8 to 12). It reads
the archive, the tagged object stream in `doc.dat` and the part of the document model listed below,
and hands the engine a document in pixels with every transform composed. It does not write
Affinity files.
## What is imported
| Affinity | VectorCraft |
|---|---|
| Pages, Publisher spreads (one or two pages) | artboards, spreads side by side |
| Artboards (legacy `ABEn` or Affinity 3 `phrp`/`aprp`), with name, paint and any transform | artboards plus a clip group with the actual vector outline, background and stroke |
| Layers (`Scop`), groups (`Grup`), pass-through or isolated | layers and sublayers, groups |
| Curves (`PCrv`): cubic subpaths, closed flags, live corners (`CnrD`) | paths (multi-subpath curves fill even-odd) |
| Rectangles with corner radii (relative or absolute, locked or per corner) and round or straight corners, ellipses, polygons (smooth too), stars, square stars, pies, triangles, trapezoids | paths |
| Compound shapes (`Comp`, add and subtract) | one even-odd path |
| A shape or curve with children clips them | clip group whose clipping path keeps its fill (behind) and stroke (over) |
| Vector masks (`AdCh` curves and shapes) | clip group |
| Pixel masks (`MRst`, attached or as a layer in a group) | opacity mask |
| Solid fills: RGBA, HSLA, CMYK, grey, Lab (D50) | fill appearance (alpha as fill opacity) |
| Linear, elliptical and radial gradients with Affinity's midpoint bias | gradients (the bias as the midpoint where the blend is half way) |
| Strokes: weight, scale with object, dash pattern and phase, alignment, miter limit, behind the fill | stroke appearance |
| Fill layers (`FRst`) | filled rectangles |
| Artistic and frame text: Unicode scalar-indexed runs, stored fallback font, family/weight/style, boolean OpenType features, all caps, size, tracking, fixed leading, colour, paragraph alignment, first baseline | point type and area type |
| Placed images (`ImgN`): the original JPEG/PNG embedded in the file | embedded images |
| Pixel layers (`Rstr`): RGBA 8/16-bit and CMYK 8-bit tiles, cropped to their content; source-backed RGBA8 JPEG/PNG tiles with matching dimensions and zero origin | embedded PNG images |
| Embedded documents and symbols (`EmbN`) | the picture Affinity cached of them |
| Opacity, visibility, lock, names, the blend modes VectorCraft has | the same |
Everything else is reported in the import warnings, one line per kind with a count, never
dropped silently: layer effects, adjustment layers and live filters, brush and pressure strokes,
special shapes (cloud, heart, cog, callouts, arrows…, imported as their bounding ellipse), corner
types other than round or straight, stars with rounded points, several fills or strokes on one object (the
active one is used), outlined or scaled text, text fields such as page numbers, frames with
columns or a curved outline, paragraph indents/spacing, mixed paragraph alignments, unsupported font selectors, grey/Lab/32-bit pixels, CMYK pixels (converted to RGB without the
document's profile) and Affinity-only blend modes (Add, Linear Light… as Normal).
When the native document can't be read at all, the engine opens the embedded PNG preview instead,
with a warning that names the reason; that preview can't be placed, used as a template or mined
for swatches and styles. Save never writes back over the Affinity file.
## Provenance and clean-room
Affinity has no published file-format specification, so this reader is built only from a public
description of the format and from public files, never from Affinity itself. This is how the sibling app PhotoCraft already treats formats that
are only partly documented:
its PSD reader fills the gaps in Adobe's specification from the MIT-licensed psd-tools and
ag-psd, and its camera raw decoder recovered Nikon's compression tables by black-box analysis
of CC0 sample files.
* **No Affinity software.** Affinity was never downloaded, installed, run, scripted, screenshotted or
disassembled for this work, and nothing from an Affinity installation (program code, resources,
presets, fonts, colour profiles) was read. No file was made with Affinity for it: every sample
is a document its author published.
* **A public, permissively licensed description.** The container and object-stream layout was
learned from [VMDevCpp/afread](https://github.com/VMDevCpp/afread) (MIT, at
`04b672334a43e3e37ded6b5ffc57af231d589774`, written for container versions 7–11) and re-described
in our own words before this Rust code was written; no code was translated. No GPL/AGPL code (such
as Inkscape's Affinity extension) was read.
* **Every structure checked against public files.** afread doesn't say how its author learned the
format, so nothing here rests on it alone: each structure the reader relies on is confirmed by
the public documents. Every archive entry carries a CRC-32 that must match, and every field in
the object stream names its own type, so a misread layout fails loudly instead of producing
plausible wrong data.
* **Meaning fitted to Affinity's own pictures.** What shapes, paints, text and pixel data mean was
worked out by comparing our render with the thumbnail every Affinity document embeds (Affinity's
render of itself), on 176 public documents saved by Affinity 1.x, 2.x and 3.0/3.1 on Windows,
macOS and iPad. The collection has since grown to 189 distinct documents, and the reader opens
all of them. Most are published under CC0, MIT, BSD, Apache-2.0 or CC BY (-SA); the others
(no licence stated, or GPL or non-commercial terms) were only opened locally to compare
pictures, never committed or redistributed. The corpus test keeps the comparison for the pinned
files, which are CC0, MIT or Apache-2.0 only.
* **Nothing of Affinity's is in this repository**: no program code, assets or documents. The test
files are fetched at pinned commits and sha256-verified, never committed.
* **Read-only.** Nothing is written in Affinity's format; export waits until someone can check
written files in Affinity itself.
The reader also has an independent copy in PhotoCraft's `photocraft-affinity`.
## Validation
* Unit tests on synthetic containers built by the `synth` feature (stored, zlib and zstd entries,
checksums, budgets, cycles, hostile streams, every truncation) and property tests of random
mutations.
* `cargo xtask corpus --affinity` fetches 51 public CC0/MIT/Apache-2.0 documents at pinned
commits, SHA-256 verified against `xtask/affinity-corpus.sha256`, with upstream license notices.
Of these, 33 are current `.af`: four CC0 vector illustrations and 28 original Affinity 3.2.3
feature probes plus one separately identified derived regression input from
[SethRobinson/Patchy](https://github.com/SethRobinson/Patchy). Only document data and provenance
notices were inspected, never that project's importer or authoring scripts.
* `tests/real_files.rs` parses every file and freezes the modeled features of all 33 current
