2. Unable to get AppleScript that worked in AI 2019 to work in AI 2020.

   We have an export in AppleScript we run for our AI 2019 graphics, but when we run it in 2020, we get an error that the file we're working in cannot be found, even though the path is correct. I can delete everything but one line (doesn't matter which line) in the script and I still get the error. Is there a basic trick tog et AppleScript that work in 2019 to work in 2020?

4. Expose 'Export Selection as' functionality

   Without this functionality in the SDK, we have to copy the selection to a new document, export, and close the temporary document. Would it be possible to expose the export selection functionality to avoid these steps?

5. Add 'Convert to Shape' to the menu command notifier list

   Please add the menu option: Object->Shape->Convert to Shape to the menu command notifiers list. (I've noticed other menu commands that also need to be added, but I only care about this one).

   I'm using Illustrator CC v.23.0.3 on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

6. Wish Applescript could create more extensive dialog boxes in Illustrator.

   It would be great to be able to create dialogs with radio buttons, check boxes etc., as can currently be created with Applescript in InDesign.

7. CC2019 CoordinatePrecision2 in Preferences

   When doing operations on small vector objects I found that the precision was weird.

   After checking the Preferences files I found that the key
   plugin/SVGFormat/CoordinatePrecision was set to 3 (like in CC2018 were it works fine)

   But also found a new key:
   plugin/SVGFormat/CoordinatePrecision2 set to 1!

   After closing Illustrator and updating that value to 3 it works again.

   I didn't see any mention of that change in any docs.

   Is "CoordinatePrecision2" the new value from CC2019? and "CoordinatePrecision" deprecated?

   Thanks!

8. accented charaters bug?

   Hi

   (Illustrator 2015-3, mac)

   I try to put this text in a frame.

   &éèçà€ù~©®πRUNNING

   Before insertAfter, the text ( as a char *) is correct

   After the insertAfter, it is also correct ( via getContents).

   But garbage is displayed as seen in the screen capture.

   Dropbox - Capture d'écran 2018-04-25 05.39.42.png

   I'm stuck.

   Thanks for any help.

   He re is some code I use.

   // get contents

   TextFrameRef textFrameRef = NULL;

   AIErr result = sAITextFrame->GetATETextFrame(bloc, &textFrameRef);

   ATE::ITextFrame textFrame(textFrameRef);

   ATE::ITextRange textRange = textFrame.GetTextRange();

   // textRange.Select();

   //debug

   int longueur = textRange.GetContents(s, 255);

   // set contents to contenu

   // Set the contents of the text range.

   TextRangeRef range = NULL;

   result = sAITextFrame->GetATETextRange(bloc, &range);

   ATE:: crange(range);

       crange.Remove();
   
    crange.InsertAfter(ai::UnicodeString(contenu).as_ASUnicode().c_str());
   
   
   
       // crange or textRange give the same result
   
   
   
   
   
       //debug text is OK in s
   
       longueur = textRange.GetContents(s, 255);
   

   Best regards

9. [Feature] Ability to embed HTTPS sites into extension HTML via iFrames

   Currently it is not possible to embed HTTPS sites into extension HTML via iFrames because it results in a mixed-mode security violation. It would be nice to have the CEF used in the extension ignore this error when using extension html installed on the local system.

   I've attached a simple file demoing the problem.

14. weird unicode file names in CEP panel scripts

    Files with unicode names should report correctly in the documentAfterActivate and documentAfterSave events.
    I just noticed that there are not only strange sequences of escaped and unescaped characters, but they can even differt between these two events.
    A € sign produces 0x80 in the activate event and %e2 0x82 %ac in the save event

15. how can i call these functions in AI via script?

    -I would like to open a Multipage PDF with settings set to open "all pages" and "import pages as links".
    If the pdf has only one page import it also as a link (if possible do it)

    • Import an Illustrator *.ai file Multi-layouts by importing them as links across multiple layouts.

    • Set flattener presets:

    • preset name

    • various parameters...

    • Select all (Select / All)

    • Run the command: Object / convert transparency / Previously saved preset / OK

    • I saw among the commands that there is an openOptionsFreeHand could I create a script that opens the freehand files for me?

    How could I do? some things I found but others not.
    I can't find a manual that explains how to use the various script commands and options. All very technical and not very intuitive and detailed. An infinite list of commands but then how to use them is not understood.

18. ExtendScript Debugger 2.0.3 for VSCode fails on "doScript" method

    When a script containing "doScript" method is run from VSCode to AI 2022 using any version of ExtendScript Debugger 2.x it locks up Ai 2022 requiring a force quit. VSCode must also be reloaded before any debugging can continue.

    Rolling ExtendScript Debugger back to v1.1.2 eliminates the failure at the expense of the more advanced features of v2.x.

19. exportForScreens() file output naming issues
