Changed

• Better support for working offline

Added

• Disable app switch button to prevent opening multiple versions of Ae

Fixed

• Update license authentication system for better stability

Changed

• Migrate off Gumroad license authentication (hotfix required for any keys purchased from gumroad.com)

Fixed

• Extending the 1.23 macOS fix to Windows

Fixed

• (macOS 12) Sending shapes from Ae to Ai

• Switch button opening multiple versions of Ae

Changed

• More intelligent handling of nested groups with center anchor point enabled

• Support for clipping masks with center anchor point enabled

• Removed debug code that introduced errors on line 1920 and 1178 on text layers with center anchor point enabled

• Bug that tried to download updates like the updatable version

Added

• Both panels open is no longer required. Just open the one you like using. Thanks to Remco Jansen for the help on this.

• Native Ae guides support for CC2019+

• Support for All Caps text options by transforming text

• Support for Ai symbols with Break Symbols button

• Text layer blending modes

• Deauthorize button for removing license key from a shared machine

• Holding SHIFT when pressing the New Artboard/Comp, does the inverse –new Ai comp button (orange) becomes a new comp button (purple). Thanks to Lars Jandel for the idea.

FIxed

• Zeroing anchor points from v1.11 failed to fully move paths

• Center layer did not work on text layers

• Text not aligning when comp and artboard were different sizes

• Error when holding shift while a lower level property group is selected

• Text layer opacity

• Text layer rotation

• Holding shift when transferring text with a shape selected

• Prevent error when dropping file into panel

Changed

• Reintroduced an old behavior with a preference when updating shapes to respect comp position or local layer position

• Moved parametric shape positions to the group transform rather than the shape itself

Removed

• Updatable version has been removed for added stability

Fixed

• Accidentally left some debugging code in v1.11 release

• Error on line 1745

• Error on line 1331

• Error on line 1822

Changed

• Zeroing out the anchor point on paths and parametrics when Center Anchor Point is enabled

• Removed redundant fill opacity and replaced it with group opacity to reduce stroke transparency as well

Fixed

• Error on line 1247 - clipping masks on compound shapes

• Error on line 1247 - clipping masks on groups. Single clipping groups on a layer become layer masks to simplify layers.

• Text along a path isn’t supported but now the won’t make transfers fail

• Better detection of group blending modes

• Better detection nested group opacity

Added

• Support for Ai gradient fills and strokes (yayayayaya)

• Update fill and stroke colors from Ai

• Support for clipping masks

• Factored in Ae layer Position/Anchor Point transforms when transferring to Ai

Changed

• Hidden Ai objects within a group will not be transferred to Ae

Fixed

• Text alignment

• Text leading (supported in Ae CC2017.2)

• Empty text layers broke the whole transfer

• Text not transferring from Ai CC2014

• Further corrected the addition of type name line breaks

• Smarter layer adding when Ae layers selected

• Moved parametric shape positioning into the parametric group itself to simplify keyframing and make converting to bezier much cleaner

Thanks: This update would not have been possible without the generous testing time of: Kyle Martinez, Jeff Salvado, Drew Jackson, Nicolas Doretti and Wojciech Piekarczyk.

Added

• Support for Ai Spot Color tints

• Preference to use New Artboard button to create a new Ae comp from an artboard’s dimensions

Changed

• Created two install versions: Updatable and Stable. Updatable will allow the panel to be updated by opening Settings and downloading directly without needing to download, install or restart Ae/Ai. For users experiencing issues with the panel not displaying buttons immediately, the Stable version provides a less dynamic system of loading the required files. With Stable, Overlord updates will need to be downloaded manually from gumroad.com/library.

• Optimized Settings panel

Fixed

• Accidentally added line breaks to text layer naming which broke expressions that used a layer name

• Unnamed shapes were naming their shape groups “null"

Added

• Preference in settings to disable app switching when pushing shapes to Ae. Some Windows users report Ae resizing when switching which is terribly annoying.

Fixed

• Layer blending modes (Color Burn, Color Dodge, Soft Light, Hard Light, Saturation, Color) failed to transfer

• Compound paths failed when explode modifier enabled

• Empty layer name when Ai=Ae when sending a single, unnamed layer. Now it defaults to an incremented layer name.

• Panel failed to resize on some systems (requires zxp install)

• Core CEP now overwrites existing bundle files

• Removed error when transferring Ai pattern fill/stroke

Fixed

• A glitch with the licensing unlock
