1. Please update "Planet X" in backend to "Live Paint"

   Actions read from API are named "Planet X".
   In AI menu, they are "Live Paint"

   Additionally, there is one typo: "Marge Planet X" = "Merge Live Paint"

   When Loupedeck reads the actions from API, they appear with outdated names in Loupedeck UI.

7. Allow C++ SDK to load swatch library (ase) from filepath

   Currently, with ExtendScript, we're able to load a swatch library from a filepath and show its panel. In the C++ SDK, we're only able to open a library with the OpenNthLibrary function from the SwatchLibrariesSuite.

   It would be nice, similar to ExtendScript, to be able to load an .ase from a filepath and open the panel.

8. Using method duplicate() on a group of threaded text frame items will lose threading

   Hi together,
   if we duplicate a group of threaded text frame items to a different Illustrator document the story's threaded text frame items will not be threaded anymore in the target document.

   If you duplicate the group in the same document the threaded text frame items remain threaded.

   All details here at Adobe Illustrator Scripting Forum:

   [BUG] copying threaded text-frames.
   Silly-V Mar 22, 2019 9:30 AM
   https://forums.adobe.com/message/10991060#10991060

   One has to rethread the text frame items in the target document.
   That should not be necessary.

   No issue if we copy and paste grouped and threaded text frame items using the menu commands.

9. Last frame in a story: textFrameItem.nextFrame is not null

   Hi together,
   the value of nextFrame of the last textFrameItem in a story should always be null. Otherwise you could thread the outport of a text frame item with the inport of the same text frame item.

   And indeed that's the case!

   See details in this thread at the Adobe Illustrator Scripting Forum:

   Since this IS POSSIBLE it creates a rather strange text composition in the affected story. So my suggestion: nextFrame of the last threaded text frame item in a story should always be null.

   Here an example where I used one single text frame item that is threaded with itself:

11. [BUG] Error during evaluation of conditional (ternary) operator

    The script in the Illustrator produces an error during evaluation of a conditional expression that includes a nested conditional expression without parenthesis.

    This breaks JavaScript optimization tools e.g. Google Closure Compiler.

    Scenario:
    alert(true ? true ? 1 : 2 : 3);

    Expected:
    Standard dialog with message: "1".

    Actual:
    Dialog with message "Error 25: Expected: :."

    Workaround:
    alert(true ? (true ? 1 : 2) : 3);

    System info:
    Illustrator Version: 23.0.1
    OS: OS X
    Version: 10.14
    System Architecture: x64

14. Justification.FULLJUSTIFYLASTLINELEFT

    In Illustrator scripting, the constant Justification.FULLJUSTIFYLASTLINELEFT does not work as expected.
    It behaves the same as FULLJUSTIFY, with no option to align the last line left (or center, or right).

    InDesign scripting supports full justify with last line alignment correctly, which makes it possible to automate proper typesetting.
    Illustrator should support the same behavior, so scripts can handle justified text layouts consistently.

    This limitation makes it impossible to automate professional typography workflows in Illustrator.
    Please fix this or implement the same functionality as in InDesign.

    Thank you.

15. [BUG] AICloudDocument API is broken

    Adobe Illustrator 29.6.1 + Adobe Illustrator SDK Build 207

    The AICloudDocument suite’s GetFirstNRecentCloudDocuments function contains 2 suite-breaking bugs:

    1. The numRecentDocuments argument is being ignored, e.g. if its value is 10, the function SHOULD return the asset refs for the 10 newest AIC documents stored in the user’s Adobe Cloud. Instead, it ALWAYS returns an unpredictable number of asset refs, usually 110-120.

    2. The reqHandleOut argument SHOULD return a bookmark pointer to the user’s remaining AIC documents, which can be passed to GetNextNRecentCloudDocuments to get the next batch of asset refs. Instead, it ALWAYS returns NULL. This means that GetNextNRecentCloudDocuments CANNOT be used.

    --

    The GetFirstNRecentCloudDocuments and GetNextNRecentCloudDocuments functions are the ONLY way to obtain valid asset refs from Adobe Cloud. Other AICloudDocument suite functions, e.g. OpenCloudDocument(), REQUIRE a valid asset ref to access an AIC document stored in Adobe Cloud.

    e.g. If the user’s Adobe Cloud contains 2000 AIC documents, all 2000 documents ARE accessible in Illustrator’s File > Open > Open from Creative Cloud dialog. However, approximately 1900 of these documents CANNOT be opened by the plugin as their asset refs cannot be obtained.

    These bugs render Adobe Illustrator’s AICloudDocument suite practically unusable.

    Here is an Xcode project which demonstrates this bug:

16. Dialog display in the event of a path segment exceedance during script processing is displayed with 8191 pieces.

    Illustrator ver.29.3.1

    The current Illustrator specification allows "31999" segments to be included in a single path, but the exceedance error displayed during script execution is displayed at "8191" segments. This is the value of the limit in past versions and has not been updated when the specification was changed.

    When run the following script, we get an error dialog with 8191 segments, but there are 32000 path points and 31999 segments added to the path on the document.

    var depth = 8;
    var size = 500;
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var layer = doc.layers.add();
    layer.name = "Hilbert Curve";
    var pth = layer.pathItems.add();
    pth.stroked = true;
    pth.strokeWidth = 1;
    pth.filled = false;
    var points = [];

    drawHilbert(depth, 0, 0, size, 1, 0, 0, 1);

    for (var i = 0; i < points.length; i++)
    {
    var pt = pth.pathPoints.add();
    pt.anchor = points[i];
    pt.leftDirection = pt.anchor;
    pt.rightDirection = pt.anchor;
    }

    function drawHilbert(d, x, y, size, xi, xj, yi, yj)
    {
    if (d <= 0)
    {
    var px = x + (xi + yi) * size / 2;
    var py = y + (xj + yj) * size / 2;
    points.push([px, -py]);
    return;
    }
    drawHilbert(d - 1, x, y, size / 2, yi, yj, xi, xj);
    drawHilbert(d - 1, x + xi * size / 2, y + xj * size / 2, size / 2, xi, xj, yi, yj);
    drawHilbert(d - 1, x + xi * size / 2 + yi * size / 2, y + xj * size / 2 + yj * size / 2, size / 2, xi, xj, yi, yj);
    drawHilbert(d - 1, x + xi * size / 2 + yi * size, y + xj * size / 2 + yj * size, size / 2, -yi, -yj, -xi, -xj);

    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, I can have more control in knowing which value is set...
    The problem: Can it be done and how is it done?
