Opacity mask detection and text inside
Sometimes we need to convert all text in the document to shapes (Create Outline) to be in the save side in print process.
When we have opacity masks that have text inside the mask layer, we can't edit it until we find the mask. Sometime, we receive documents that we didn't make ourselves and it will be not be easy to find all masks.
The suggestion is to:
- Have a command to find out all opacity masks.
- Have a command to select text in the whole document even inside the masks.

Same issue here. Our client delivered an outlined Illustrator file, but the font inside the opacity mask was still live text. No missing fonts warnings when the file was opened in Illustrator. However the missing font still got replaced with the default font, without headsup warning.
The mistake was only noticed later on when a proof was sent to the client for approval.
