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.

Fixes#1273. A selected group or compound path shows its paths' anchors
with the Pen, but Pen + Alt only looked at paths selected directly, so an
Alt-click there started a new path instead of converting the anchor.

Add deterministic document-space grain, highlight controls and a live
dialog with preview, cancel, undo and appearance editing. Preserve
coverage, support existing native and raster export paths, translate
new labels and update parity documentation.
Validate the tonal curve, stationarity, subpixel strength, zoom filtering
and tile seams. Full cargo xtask ci passes all seven gates.
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.
Follow-up to #1237 / #1254.
