## [Family Names Tree Ornament](https://cuttle.xyz/@cuttle/Family-Names-Christmas-Tree-Ornament-3TGvZj8E49p7): Inline symbols 🐾

On the [Family Names Tree Ornament](https://cuttle.xyz/@cuttle/Family-Names-Christmas-Tree-Ornament-3TGvZj8E49p7), many people wanted to add a paw print next to a name, or a heart between two names. You can now insert these symbols in line with any name!

Simply type **(paw)** in the `names` field — including the parentheses — and it will be replaced with a paw symbol. The supported symbols are:

-   (paw)
-   (heart)
-   (star)
-   (left-wing) and (right-wing) for left and right angel wings

This feature only works on the [Family Names Tree Ornament](https://cuttle.xyz/@cuttle/Family-Names-Christmas-Tree-Ornament-3TGvZj8E49p7) but we’re thinking about ways to enable inserting symbols inline with text everywhere in Cuttle.

## [Paw Ornament](https://cuttle.xyz/@cuttle/Paw-Ornament-irWGANS1uLkF): Claws option for cats 😻

By popular request, we added a `claws` option on the [Paw Ornament](https://cuttle.xyz/@cuttle/Paw-Ornament-irWGANS1uLkF), for your feline friends.

## Better file names 📁

We updated how we generate the file names on all our [Customizable Text templates](https://cuttle.xyz/templates).

Before, the file name came from the project name and was always the same. You ended up with lots of files with cumbersome names like “Family Names Christmas Tree Ornament - Tree (4).svg”.

Now, the file name is derived from your personalization. For example, the [Family Names Tree](https://cuttle.xyz/@cuttle/Family-Names-Christmas-Tree-Ornament-3TGvZj8E49p7) creates a file name based on the first three names you typed, like “Tree - ava aiden mason.svg”.

For those of you generating lots of files with Cuttle, we hope this helps you stay organized!

## Customize the file name on your own projects using a parameter 🤖

Power users of the Cuttle editor will be pleased to learn that you too can automatically derive custom file names for your projects!

To do this, create a component parameter called `_filename`. This parameter should return a string. You can reference other parameters, for example personalized text or a relevant dimension.

Thank you to **HasanCreates** and **Ralph U.** for requesting this feature.

## New free fonts 🔠

We pulled in the latest free fonts from Google Fonts into Cuttle. Here are a few of my favorites from the new batch:

## Other Improvements and Fixes 🐞

-   When you select a closed path in the editor, it will show a light-blue preview of the area inside the path. We call this the “fill preview”. It’s designed to help you visualize the difference between compound paths — like the result of a boolean difference — and overlapping paths. Federico touches on this in his recent video on how to join shapes. [Check it out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Otn0elKD43Y)!
-   Fixed rendering of certain True-Type “single line” fonts with doubled closed paths. Thank you **Jennifer A** for reporting this bug.
-   Fixed a visual glitch with “Browse All Shapes” specific to Firefox on Windows.
-   Clarified the wording of the license in copies of Cuttle Pro templates.
-   Fixed a minor visual glitch with “Copy link” in the Share menu.
