This is a small release with one bug fix:
* try to maintain consistent density in satin columns when rails expand or contract from each other
|
|
try to fix satin density issues
|
|
|
|
This uses some trig to try to reduce the excess density we were seeing with
rails that expand or contract from each other. While I was in there I
redid the satin algorithm, making it much simpler and less magical-seeming.

Bug fixes:
* properly handle black fill (#362)
* don't create paths with empty "d" attribute when importing DST, PES, etc (#363)
* properly encode trims in JEF files (#377)
* significantly improve error messages for crashes in auto-fill
* informative error message for auto-fill of extremely tiny shapes
* fix file corruption in "Save As" JEF, DST, etc (all formats) (#387)
* Ink/Stitch was erroneously adding a carriage return at the end of the file
* fix print metadata (#372)
* fix adding presets in Params (#381)
* fix crash if fill start and end points are very close
* don't crash on a design with no stitches
* support manual stitch paths with a single stitch
New feature:
* option to skip the last stitch in each row of fill stitch
* usually that stitch is unnecessary and will be very close to the stitch at the start of the next row
* this can reduce stitch count for "free" in most cases

It looks like an extra "self" parameter was added to the store_preset call in the add_preset function.
This prevents add_preset from working.

This branch adds a new extension, Auto-Route Satin Columns, implementing #214! This is a huge new feature that opens the door wide for exciting stuff like lettering (#142).
To use it, select some satin columns and run the extension. After a few seconds, it will replace your satins with a new set with a logical stitching order. Under-pathing and jump-stitches will be added as necessary, and satins will be broken to facilitate jumps. The resulting satins will retain all of the parameters you had set on the original satins, including underlay, zig-zag spacing, etc.
By default, it will choose the left-most extreme as the starting point and the right-most extreme as the ending point (even if these occur partway through a satin such as the left edge of a letter "o"). You can override this by attaching the new "Auto-route satin stitch starting/ending position" commands.
There's also an option to add trims instead of jump stitches. Any jump stitch over 1mm is trimmed. I might make this configurable in the future but in my tests it seems to do a good job. Trim commands are added to the SVG, so it's easy enough to modify/delete as you see fit.
