New Document matches the clipboard (as PhotoCraft, photocraft#2034) - #1842
This is the VectorCraft version of storytold/photocraft#2045 (Smart Clipboard Matching, photocraft#2034).
The request
photocraft#2034: "If there is an image in the clipboard and its size is 100 x 200 pixels, then whenever the New Document dialog is opened, its initial size should be 100 x 200 pixels to match the clipboard." PhotoCraft has the feature. PR #2045 made the control API use the same initializer as File › New. VectorCraft did not have the feature, so this PR adds all of it, so that the Craft apps behave the same.
What changed
When the clipboard holds art or a picture, New Document opens at that size. The size comes from a Clipboard preset, which is the first card in the Recent category.
A picture that another app copied (a screenshot, an image from a browser) gives its pixel size, in Pixels. New Document reads only the image header, so this works with no document open.
Objects copied in VectorCraft give the box they draw in (strokes and effects included), in the default units.
Another app's copy that is not a picture replaces what was copied here (as Paste does), so then no Clipboard preset shows. A picture that another app copies later replaces the copied art, as Paste takes it.
A size larger than New Document can make (newdoc::MAX_SIDE) offers no preset, so Create never refuses it.
All ways of opening New Document come through one initializer (new_document::open): File › New, Cmd+N, the Home screen, and the control channel and MCP (file.newDialog). photocraft#2045 closed this gap for the control path; here the control path uses the same function from the start, and a test covers it.
How to test
Take a screenshot to the clipboard (on macOS: Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4), or copy an image in a browser.
File › New (Cmd+N). Make sure that the dialog opens on Recent, with the Clipboard card selected and the width and height of the image, in Pixels.
Click Create. Make sure that the artboard has that size.
Copy a shape in VectorCraft and open New Document. Make sure that the size is the shape's size.
Copy some text in another app and open New Document. Make sure that no Clipboard card shows.
Checks
New tests:
tests_sysclip::new_document_takes_the_size_of_a_copied_picture (100 × 200 picture, no document open, Create makes that size);
The New Document dialog can use a copied picture’s pixel dimensions or copied artwork’s bounds, including strokes, to set the new document size.
When available, the Clipboard preset appears first under Recent and is selected automatically. If the clipboard contains text or another non-image item, the preset is not offered.
Clipboard-based sizing is available when opening New Document from the menu, keyboard shortcut, Home, or supported control interfaces.
Documentation
Updated New Document guidance to describe clipboard-based sizing.
Thanks @Gamedirection. I read the whole change: one initializer for every way of opening New Document, the size check against MAX_SIDE, only the image header read, and tests that use an injected clipboard rather than the real one. Nothing in it worries me on safety or quality.
I am holding it for the owner's decision, because it changes a default of the New Document dialog and the public documentation of the reference dialog does not describe it:
New Document dialog overview and Create documents using presets (read 2026-10-14) list the category tabs (Recent, Saved, Mobile, Web, Print, ...) and the Preset Details pane. Neither mentions a clipboard preset or a size taken from the clipboard.
The source for the behaviour is PhotoCraft (photocraft#2034), a sibling app, not the application VectorCraft measures itself against.
For the owner to decide:
Whether VectorCraft should have a Clipboard preset at all (consistency across the Craft apps against parity with the reference dialog).
If yes, whether it should be selected when the dialog opens. As written, anything on the clipboard (including art copied in VectorCraft a while ago) replaces the most recent settings as the starting size, so someone who copies an object and then presses Ctrl+N no longer gets their last document size. Offering the card under Recent without selecting it would keep today's default.

ReviewerA — source-read COMMENT (not an approval)
I read the head of the diff: New Document matches the clipboard, as PhotoCraft does (photocraft#2034), also when it is opened through the control channel. MAX_SIDE becomes public so the UI can clamp, and the test opens a new document through the control channel and checks that copied art sets the size and the Clipboard preset. Illustrator's New Document does offer a Clipboard preset when art is copied. The clipboard size must be clamped to MAX_SIDE and be finite, and reading the clipboard must not block the UI. This copies a behaviour from a sibling application, which is the right way to keep the suite consistent. I have not run it, and no exact-head CI result exists for this head. Nothing was run.
I ran nothing and have no exact-head CI result for this PR, so this is not an approval. Where a diff was long I read its code hunks rather than every generated or documentation line.
Rebased onto current main. Main had moved the tests to tests/sysclip.rs and control/tests.rs, and changed MAX_SIDE to MAX_COORD - 2 × MAX_BLEED with side_in_range. The Clipboard preset now uses newdoc::side_in_range, made pub for the UI, so a size that is not finite or is beyond what file.new accepts offers no preset, as @FredApps asked. Reading the clipboard is unchanged: it reads only the image header, once, when New Document opens. Edit: my earlier local cargo xtask ci run turned out to have checked a different worktree, so I am re-running it at this head and will post the result.
The New Document dialog uses eligible clipboard images or copied artwork to set initial dimensions and offer a Clipboard preset. The preset appears first under Recent. Tests and documentation cover clipboard behavior through multiple dialog entry points.

Summary
Resolve clipboard dimensions and offer preset crates/engine/src/cmd/newdoc.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/new_document.rs
The dialog uses eligible bitmap dimensions in pixels or internal copied-artwork bounds in default units. A non-image external clipboard payload prevents fallback to internal artwork. When dimensions are available, the dialog selects the Clipboard preset and lists it first under Recent. The engine exposes MAX_SIDE and side_in_range publicly; their calculations are unchanged.
Verify and document clipboard defaults crates/ui-egui/src/tests/sysclip.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/control/tests.rs, docs/control-protocol.md, docs/roadmap.md, docs/ui-parity.md
Tests cover dialog dimensions, preset selection, control-channel opening, and artboard creation. The documentation records the clipboard behavior and listed entry points.

New Document now sizes itself from the clipboard. A few edge cases remain: a copy in an unsupported format can still bring back old artwork dimensions, and the Clipboard preset may not be selected when preset or tab state changes. These are minor and mergeable with follow-up.

The title names the main change: New Document now matches the clipboard, which sizes the dialog from clipboard content. The changeset adds a Clipboard preset, clipboard-based sizing for pictures and copied VectorCraft art, and tests for these. The parenthetical reference to photocraft#2034 is extra context, not a defect. The title fits the main change.

When the clipboard holds art or a picture, New Document opens at its
size, on a "Clipboard" preset that leads the Recent category. This is
the PhotoCraft behaviour of photocraft#2034 and its PR
storytold/photocraft#2045, so the Craft apps behave the same.
- A picture that another app copied (a screenshot, an image from a
browser) gives its pixel size; New Document reads only the image
header, so this works with no document open.
- Objects copied in VectorCraft give the box they draw in (strokes and
effects included), in the default units.
- Another app's copy that is not a picture replaces what was copied
here (as Paste does), so then no Clipboard preset shows.
- A size larger than New Document can make offers no preset.
- Every way of opening New Document gets it: File > New, Cmd+N, the
Home screen, the control channel and MCP (all go through
new_document::open). photocraft#2045 closed that gap for the control
path; here one initializer serves every path.
Tests: a 100 x 200 picture from another app with no document open
(size, Clipboard preset, Recent, Pixels, and Create makes that size);
copied art, then another app's text, then a picture; New Document
through the control channel. "Clipboard" is translated in all 15
catalogs.

Include Clipboard when selecting the first preset of Recent.
Open New Document with a clipboard image and no recent documents. Select Print, then return to Recent. This lookup returns an empty list, so the details retain the Print preset. The rendered Recent list then contains only Clipboard, but Clipboard is not selected.
Use the same augmented preset list for tab initialization and card rendering. This preserves the existing contract that a tab selects its first preset.

Resolve the offered Clipboard preset when synchronizing fields.
With a clipboard image available, select Letter and then set preset to "Clipboard" through ui.dialog.set. This branch searches saved and static presets through newdoc::find; it does not read offered_clipboard(d). The dialog therefore retains Letter’s dimensions instead of restoring the offered clipboard dimensions.
Resolve the dialog’s Clipboard settings before the engine preset lookup.

Do not restore copied art after an unsupported external copy.
If another app copies only formats outside PASTE_ORDER, holds_ours() is false, the bitmap read returns None, and has(&PASTE_ORDER) is false. Execution then reaches app.session.clipboard.bounds() and offers the old VectorCraft art as Clipboard.
This contradicts the stated behavior that another app’s non-picture copy replaces copied VectorCraft art. Distinguish clipboard ownership from supported paste formats before using internal bounds.

Document the size limit for clipboard defaults.
If either dimension is outside the New Document range, the dialog does not use the Clipboard preset. Add this condition so users can understand why a copied picture or artwork may not set the size.

That comes from main: main's Cargo.lock currently has two vectorcraft-geom packages (0.24.1 and 0.18.0 from a git dependency), and this PR doesn't touch Cargo.toml or Cargo.lock.
