import graphic styles from file or library with javascript, there is no way to import graphic styles from libraries or files. there is a way to open ai documents as graphic style libraries but then there is no script access to that library.
currently what i have to do is have an ai file with objects with graphic styles assign to them. with my script i open that file, select the objects, copy them, close the file, switch documents, paste objects, delete objects.
this can take a while and it is a very ugly solution. ideally there should be something as simple as importGraphicStylesFromFile(File)
or at least …

settings raster effects value visible main screen I need to view somewhere in the Illustrator interface, the value set in the "raster effects settings" panel.
Is there a scripted way to implement this?
I've created actions that set this value to 72ppi / 300ppi so that I can change it when the document becomes heavy and unmanageable (thanks to using only 1 CPU CORE, thanks Adobe ❤).
The problem is that if I save the file, I will probably save it at 72ppi, but for printing the effects are poor and you have to set them to 300ppi.
So having the value always visible on the screen,…2 votes -
More notifiers for live effects Ai provides a live effect notifier that triggers when an object is scaled, but not when it’s moved. Same problem with rotating — the absence of these does not allow to recalculate effects properly, like one when an object with a shadow is rotated, and a user wants to rotate the shadow with the object (there is a quite popular request about this one already — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/32468149-effects-do-not-rotate-drop-shadow-or-scale-e-g)

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?

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).

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!

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

[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.

exportFile doesn't work with NoUI document trying to create a "NoUI" document and export as SVG like this:
opendoc = app.documents.addDocumentNoUI();
opendoc.exportFile(file, ExportType.SVG);I get the attached error in AI
I can't think of any other way to export an SVG via script. Obviously there are scripting things that don't work with NoUI documents, but it seems like this one should. Am I doing something wrong?

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.
