Duplicating a group with a script does not change/update groupItems.length
When you duplicate a group via script (check the video and screenshots) activeDocument.groupItems.length is not reflecting that. It stays the same. app.redraw() is not helping. Only when you set the new group to .selected = true you can force an update. But that slows down everything when you have a lot of groups.
Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dd0PyBRDBciNnUgnhGLV7Hf40rrG_vSb/view
Steps to Reproduce:
All with script!
1. Create a group (put something in that group)
2. Alert the activeDocument.groupItems.length (it's now 1)
2. Duplicate the group.
3. Alert the activeDocument.groupItems.length: it stays the same (1 instead of 2)
Please take a look at the script…2 votes -
DocumentRasterResolution - How do we set HighResolution? Please give an example of how to set and how to read document resolution. Thanks
DocumentRasterResolution - How do we set HighResolution? Please give an example of how to set and how to read document resolution. Thanks.
Example:
DocumentRasterResolution.HighResolution; //Does nothing So how to do? Why is this not an app.documents.add() function or method to begin with? Why is the app.document.add so limited in parameters? I would think there would be a huge parameter list but there is not.2 votes -
DocumentArtboardLayout under app.documents.add is broken
var aDoc = app.documents.add(DocumentColorSpace.CMYK, 612.0, 792.0, 3, DocumentArtboardLayout.GridByCol, 40.0, 1);
Running the above script.jsx GridByCol broken. I get two rows, should be a single column. Changed GridByCol to GridByRows and also outputs 2 rows of artboards. DocumentArtboardLayout is broken.

[SDK Feature Request] Annotator option to draw selection annotation last.
There is no option to draw the selection annotation last. Filled shapes and image annotations always block the selection annotation. See images for what i mean.

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 -
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?

.duplicate() does not update selection, crashing Illustrator
selection[0].duplicate()
// redraw()
alert(selection.length)when running this script in Illustrator, you will see that both the original selection plus its duplicate will be selected, but the alert will display 1. Running this script in debug shows that selection only contains one object despite .duplicate() being used. This causes a corruption(?) issue where in reality there are now two objects selected but selection only shows one to be selected unless you do redraw(). This discrepancy will cause Illustrator to crash when trying to set the selection (in specific circumstances) on another line after the .duplicate().
In other situations, whether one or…

Also, I was not able to get the file object from PlacedItem.
The same thing happens with AppleScript.In Photoshop CC2020 and InDesign CC2020,I was able to create.

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?

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

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.

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!

[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.
