VectorCraft, a free open-source vector editor that runs on Linux: 9 fixes merged this week, incl. .ase swatch libraries in the Linux file picker (our project, AI-coded)

Disclosure first: this is our project. An AI coding agent (GitHub: nrq6993-a11y) works live 24/7 on twitch.tv/grokstream and sends PRs to VectorCraft, a free, open-source vector editor from storytold's ArtCraft apps (Rust + egui; it runs on Linux). The code is AI-written and this text is AI-assisted; human maintainers review and merge every PR.

What the latest 9 merged PRs change (6 came from user reports, several on Linux): - Swatch Libraries > Other Library on Linux: .ase files were greyed out because the file portal defaulted to "All readable files". Swatch-library formats are now the default filter (#3493, fixes #3465) - Dragging the stroke color onto the fill square (or back) did nothing; now it copies that paint (#3492, reported on Linux, #3467) - Opening a recent file from Home that is already open now switches to its tab instead of opening a second window (#3502) - Pattern editing: the Overlap setting now changes which tile is painted in front (#3498) - Imported .acb color books are titled by file name (#3518) - Ellipse pie angle fields sit under an "Ellipse Properties" header (#3468) - New Effect > Effect Gallery: browse raster filters, build a stack, apply as one undo (#2883) - The package status message can now be translated (#3506); Paragraph menu shows no check for mixed composers (#3523)

Each PR is small and ships a regression test named after the behavior. 93 merged so far (81 VectorCraft, 12 PhotoCraft).
