What and why

Opening an .ai file compares at most 256 objects with their drawn art, from one budget: MAX_CHECKED (crates/eps/src/import/ai/envelope.rs:61), which the reader starts each import with (crates/eps/src/import/ai/read.rs:783). It spends one check on each envelope (crates/eps/src/import/ai/read/containers.rs:904) and one on each embedded image with a Warp art style (crates/eps/src/import/ai/read/ops.rs:788-789); with none left, the object opens as its drawn look. Saving the .ai editing data counted only envelopes against that limit. A file with more than 256 envelopes and images with a Warp in all was saved with the images past the budget written live and no warning, and it opened with those images as their drawn look.

  • The writer's budget (checks_left, crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer.rs:280) now counts every image written with its Warp as well as every envelope, in the order they are written, which is the order the reader spends its checks in. An image with a Warp past it is saved as its drawn look, without its Warp, with a new warning (check_left, crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer/styles.rs:728). An envelope past it is saved as its distorted art with the envelope warning, as before.
  • An image whose pixels can't be read is written as its gray outline, which the reader does not check, so it takes no part of the budget and keeps only the warning about its pixels. image (crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer/images.rs) now returns whether it wrote an image, and a check is charged only then.
  • The envelope warning now says "after the first 256 envelopes and images with a Warp". docs/target-app-parity.md has one new line and updates the envelope paragraph's wording.

The writer writes each counted object in the form the reader above reads, and the round-trip tests below save and reopen the files through that reader. Type with a Warp needs no change: the writer outlines type that has visible effects of its own (crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer/texts.rs:314-318, crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer.rs:1301-1302), so it never writes warped type live and takes no check. The limit of 256 and the order of spending are VectorCraft's own rules. The Warp effect applies to bitmap images as well as vector art (Distort and transform effects).

How it was tested

New tests in crates/eps/src/ai_editing/tests.rs, each saving through the editing-data writer and reopening through the .ai reader. Each fails without its part of the change:

  • warped_images_past_the_readers_checks_are_written_as_their_drawn_look: 255 envelopes, then two images with a Warp. The file opens with 255 live envelopes and one live warped image, the save warns about the image, and the open adds no drawn-look note.
  • envelopes_get_the_checks_warped_images_left: two images with a Warp, then 255 envelopes. The file opens with both images live and 254 live envelopes, and the save gives the envelope warning.
  • a_warped_image_written_as_its_outline_takes_no_check: an image whose pixels can't be read takes no check, so the warped image after it, the 256th object, stays live.
  • an_unreadable_warped_image_past_the_checks_is_warned_about_its_pixels: past the budget, such an image gets only the pixels warning.

Focused checks on Linux. The branch is one commit on main at 1e4e3534f5 and merges cleanly with it.

  • cargo test -p vectorcraft-eps filtered to the envelope, image and new tests: 181 passed.
  • cargo clippy -p vectorcraft-eps --all-targets -- -D warnings: no warnings.
  • cargo check --workspace --tests: passes.
  • cargo xtask brands (no vendor names), layers (30 crates) and assets (337 files): pass.
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check reports only crates/svg/src/lib.rs:491, which this branch does not touch; it is unformatted on main at 1e4e3534f5, and open fmt: format crates/svg/src/lib.rs #7400 and Fix main CI after the craft-libs migration (fmt, wasm) #7407 format it.
  • cargo xtask ci runs in this pull request's CI.

It conflicts with open #7394 in crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer/images.rs, crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer/styles.rs and docs/target-app-parity.md, and with open #7268 in crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer.rs and crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer/images.rs.

Checklist

  • cargo xtask ci passes (fmt, clippy, tests, assets, brands, layers, wasm).
  • No panics in shipped code: no unwrap(), expect(), panic!, unreachable!, todo! or
    unimplemented! outside tests, and no unchecked indexing on data from files, parameters or
    messages. Errors are returned as Result and shown to the user
    (why and how).
  • Clean-room: nothing copied from Adobe products or GPL/AGPL code (AGENTS.md).
  • Every new asset has a row in ASSETS.md.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Saving documents now applies a shared limit of 256 checks to envelopes and readable images with a Warp, in write order.
    • When the limit is exceeded, affected images and envelopes are saved as drawn art, with a warning. Images that cannot be read are saved as gray outlines and do not use a check.
  • Documentation
    • Updated guidance to describe the shared save limit and resulting behavior.

Opening an .ai file compares at most 256 envelopes and embedded images
with a Warp with their drawn art, from one budget. Saving the editing
data counted only envelopes, so a file with more than 256 of them in all
was saved with images past the budget written live and no warning, and
it opened with those images as their drawn look.

- The writer's budget now counts every image written with its Warp as
  well as every envelope, in the order they are written. An image past
  it is saved as its drawn look with a warning, and an envelope past it
  as its distorted art, as before.
- An image whose pixels can't be read is written as its gray outline,
  which the reader does not check, so it takes no part of the budget
  and keeps the warning about its pixels.
- The envelope warning names the shared budget.

Walkthrough

The AI editing writer now shares its 256-check allowance between live envelopes and readable images with a Warp. Unreadable warped images do not consume a check. Tests and parity documentation cover the shared limit and fallback behavior.

Changes: Shared Warp and envelope check limit

Layer / File(s) Summary
Warped-image check accounting
crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer.rs, crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer/images.rs, crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer/styles.rs
The writer tracks a shared check allowance. It counts an image with a Warp only when writing the image succeeds. If no checks remain, an unreadable image does not consume one; a readable image triggers WARPED_IMAGES and is written without its Warp.
Envelope integration and validation
crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer/envelopes.rs, crates/eps/src/ai_editing/tests.rs, docs/target-app-parity.md
Envelope writes use the remaining shared allowance. Tests cover warped images and envelopes in both orders, including unreadable images. The parity documentation describes the limit and fallback behavior.

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: ruchirguitar

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 87da8

The change makes .ai saves count readable images with a Warp against the same 256-check limit that the reader uses, so saved files reopen consistently. No runtime defect was found. Before merging, add the missing dated row to the Feature revisions table in the parity doc.

Explanation

The title names the main change: .ai saves now count images with a Warp against the envelope limit. The raw summary and objectives confirm the writer now uses one shared checks_left budget for envelopes and warped images, with images past the limit written as drawn art and a new warning added.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template sections (What and why, How it was tested, Checklist). It explains the reader budget, the writer change, the unreadable-image case, the new tests, and the test results, with conflict notes. The template's first checklist item is unchecked while the author reports cargo xtask ci runs in CI, which is consistent with the template. The other checklist items are marked done.

- **Warp as a Bézier patch per style:** each of the fifteen Warp styles bends the object's bounds as one Bézier patch whose control points the style sets from the bend and the size of the bounds; the horizontal distortion then scales each column of control points about its middle and the vertical distortion scales each row. The Warp effects and warp envelopes share the map, and content with no width or no height takes the middle of the patch along that side. New warps, the built-in graphic styles' Warps and warps opened from `.ai` files carry `version` 1 for it. Warps in `.vectorcraft` documents saved before it read as `version` 0 and keep their earlier look, and edits keep a warp's version; a `version` 0 warp saved to `.ai` opens again with `version` 1, since the file holds only its settings. The patches are VectorCraft's own rules; the styles and ranges are those of the Warp options in [Distort and transform effects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/reshape-transform-objects/distort-and-transform-effects-in-illustrator.html) (doc `live::tests::warp_nets_bend_each_style_as_its_own_patch`, `warp_net_arc_edges_are_concentric_circles`, `warp_net_distortion_scales_the_columns_then_the_rows`, `warp_net_takes_any_numbers`, `warp_net_bends_a_huge_box_without_overflowing`, `warp_envelopes_bend_flat_content_as_the_middle_of_the_patch`, `warp_envelopes_write_their_map_version_only_when_it_has_one`, `style_libs::tests::builtin_warp_styles_take_the_nets_map`; effects `tests::a_warp_draws_with_the_map_its_version_names`, `tests::a_warp_bends_a_flat_box_as_the_middle_of_its_patch`, `tests::new_warps_take_the_nets_version`; engine `effectedit::warps_keep_the_map_their_version_names`, `envelope::new_warp_envelopes_take_the_net_and_saved_ones_keep_their_map`; eps `ai_editing::tests::every_effect_a_graphic_style_holds_is_read_back`, `import::ai::tests::a_warp_envelope_opens_live`, `import::ai::tests::warp_envelopes_read_every_style`, `import::ai::style::tests::a_stack_of_fills_with_effects_of_their_own_is_read_as_itself`; ui-egui `dialogs::tests_warp::warp_options_edit_keeps_each_targets_map_version`). Scores and hours unchanged.
- **Warp effects bend images:** a Warp effect on an image, or on a group that holds one, bends the image's pixels with its frame, as the Warp effect is documented to distort bitmap images in [Reshaping with effects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/reshaping-objects-effects.html): after the last effect, the image is cut into 10 × 10 cells of two triangles, each a clipped piece under its own affine map. Effects after the Warp reshape only the frame, a second Warp bends the same pieces, and warps saved without a version bend the pixels with their earlier map, as they bend the frame. A placed gradient on a group that holds the image follows the group's bounds as the pieces draw them. SVG writes the image once for the pieces; PDF, EPS, `.ai` and PNG write the bent pieces. The images stay unbent when their pieces would make the art pass 2 million objects, and so does an image whose frame keeps its shape past the anchor budget. A grayscale image's fill color now colorizes the pieces of a warp or an envelope, and an image under any geometry effect keeps that color and its smoothing setting. Existing documents with a Warp effect on an image, or on a group that holds one, draw differently: before, the image showed unbent, cut by the bent frame. So do existing documents with a colorized image under an envelope or a geometry effect, or an image drawn without smoothing under a geometry effect: before, those lost the color or the setting. The cell count and the limits are VectorCraft's own (effects `tests::warped_images_stay_within_the_object_budget`, `tests::warped_images_keep_document_keys_and_hidden_images_apart`, `tests::an_image_whose_frame_passes_the_budget_stays_whole`, `tests::effects_after_a_warp_reshape_an_images_frame_and_not_its_pieces`, `tests::an_images_pixels_take_the_map_their_warps_version_names`, `tests::an_image_under_a_geometry_effect_keeps_its_color_and_smoothing`, `tests::a_nested_groups_gradient_follows_its_warped_image`; engine `warp_images::an_images_pixels_bend_with_effect_warp`, `a_warped_image_keeps_its_bend_in_svg`, `a_warped_image_keeps_its_bend_in_pdf`, `a_warped_image_keeps_its_bend_in_ai`, `a_warped_image_keeps_its_bend_in_eps`, `a_warped_image_keeps_its_bend_in_png`, `svg_writes_an_image_clipped_twice_in_a_users_group_twice`, `expand_appearance_of_a_warped_image_draws_as_the_canvas_did`, `a_colorized_image_keeps_its_color_when_warped`, `a_warp_on_a_group_bends_the_image_in_it`, `envelope_distort::a_colorized_image_keeps_its_color_in_an_envelope`). Scores and hours unchanged.
- **`.ai` files keep an image's Warp live:** an embedded image whose appearance is one Warp effect, with no opacity mask, is saved to the `.ai` editing data with an art style of that Warp: its bent pieces are its drawn look, and the image itself follows on `%_` lines, as for other styled objects. Opening an `.ai` file reads such an image as the image with its Warp live, its pixels, placement, name and opacity kept, when the live warp draws as the file's drawn look and the import has a comparison left; otherwise the drawn look stays, with the drawn-look note. The Warp effect applies to bitmap images ([the help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/reshape-transform-objects/distort-and-transform-effects-in-illustrator.html)), and native files keep live effects ([the help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/get-started/learn-the-basics/supported-file-formats-in-illustrator.html)). Images with an opacity mask, and images with a Warp and another effect or with another geometry effect, are saved and opened as their drawn art. Existing `.ai` files with an embedded image on `%_` lines open differently: before, that image also came in beside its drawn look. Which images keep the Warp and the comparison are VectorCraft's own rules (eps `ai_editing::tests::an_image_with_a_warp_reads_back_with_its_warp_live`, `an_image_whose_warp_draws_otherwise_than_its_look_keeps_its_look`, `an_image_on_hidden_lines_does_not_come_in_beside_its_look`, `other_warped_images_are_written_as_their_drawn_art`, `import::ai::read::ops::tests::an_image_takes_a_style_of_one_warp_alone`). Scores and hours unchanged.
- **`.ai` saves count images with a Warp against the envelope limit:** opening an `.ai` file compares at most 256 envelopes and images with a Warp with their drawn art, and saving the `.ai` editing data now counts both against those 256, in the order they are written. An image with a Warp past them is saved as its drawn look, without its Warp, and an envelope past them as its distorted art, each with a warning on saving. An image with a Warp whose pixels can't be read is saved as its gray outline and is not counted. Before, saving counted only envelopes, so images with a Warp were saved live past the 256 without a warning, and the file opened with the ones past them as their drawn art. The limit of 256 is VectorCraft's own (eps `ai_editing::tests::warped_images_past_the_readers_checks_are_written_as_their_drawn_look`, `envelopes_get_the_checks_warped_images_left`, `a_warped_image_written_as_its_outline_takes_no_check`, `an_unreadable_warped_image_past_the_checks_is_warned_about_its_pixels`). Scores and hours unchanged.
