Generate .ico file from Illustrator (AND Photoshop)
I just used https://icoconvert.com/ to convert a 32x32 PNG to ICO.
This is something that, in 2020, Illustrator -- AND Photoshop! -- ought to be able to do natively. I mean, if a WEBSITE can do it....

Customizing any toolbar by right click on any empty space on it
customizing any toolbar by right-clicking in an empty space as well as the three dots underneath any toolbar.
Illustrator becomes popular for developers around the world and every day there is a new plugin to enhance working in Illustrator. but in some small resolution PC / Laptops when some plugins add new tools the toolbar becomes very tall and could not reach the (customize this toolbar) the three dots that arrange and customizing my tools.
this feature will allow managing any numbers of tools as well as managing the toolbars itself. and it will improve the user experience related to…3 votes -
The order of the Undo history after executing the script is incorrect.
I checked with macOS X Mojave, Illustrator24.3, and Yosemite, Illustrator CS6.
Below is a sculpt to create a new document, create a rectangle, select and copy, paste and cut. Try it first.
var doc = app.documents.add ();
var rect = doc.pathItems.rectangle (0, 0, 50, 50);
app.copy ();
app.paste ();
app.cut ();After execution, the user can undo it.
The final process is "cut", but what appears in the menu is "undo paste".
Let's cancel it again. The second thing that appears is "undo cut".
Because of this, when you try to return to the pre-execution state, Illustrator almost always thinks…3 votes -
Better fine tuning blob brush
Hello,
I would like to have a better setting option for the accuracy of the blob brush. The middle setting is actually too straight for me. Lines are straightened mercilessly. If you move the slider one point to the left, they are not straightened enough. That's why it would be great to have four additional options (see screenshot, red lines).Thanks a lot

Like in Photoshop, I'd like an option in Illustrator to duplicate the entire file, opening the duplicate in a new tab.

Little display problem with GPU enabled
Hi, I bought an Imac 27" with 5K Retina display.
I noticed that when I zoom some vector shape, the lines are not too clean. They seem like bitmapped. When I click Command+Y (show outlines) and I click it again, the lines appear clean. I uploaded a little video about my problem.
I wrote in Adobe community, they suggested me to turn off GPU Performance. If i do that the images appears fine but Illustrator become too slow.
So they recommended me to report my issue here.
Thanks for your time.

More appropriate way of having straight lines and adding arrow head easily
I am an academic and use straight lines and block diagrams for illustrating my methodologies. Although having a rectangle or square is super easy, it is not straightforward to create straight line or arrowhead. Please make sure these features can be used appropriately. Thanks

Add 'Relink image' in the right click (contextual) menu
would speed up productivity when replacing multiple linked images by allowing users to control-click or right-click on an image to relink files, rather than going to the menu bar every time.

Name Change Improvement
Dear Adobe, upon using the software for some years now I have got the impression of the software being related to illness, us being ill and traitor (although spelt a bit differently). So it's like 'ill' 'us' 'trator'.
I know it might sound quite out there but there could be some reasoning to it. I for one have experienced some illness since using it (not to say the program is at fault) and an impression gets made and then I'm more cautious to use the program. The words 'ill us trator' come to mind many times and sometimes in this…

'Reverse Order' option for Transform Effect
When you set several copies in Transform effect, Illustrator makes them stack under original art, 'going backwards'. Sometimes it's better to have an opposite behaviour, with copies stacking up, 'towards' viewer.
Please add this checkbox near 'Copies" field.

don't let me draw on a locked layer (or store the shape I draw)
I often draw a shape in illustrator with the pencil tool then find it was time wasted because the layer was locked.
Either give me an alert so I know to unlock the layer, or store the shape so I can then put it in a new layer.2 votes -

Library search and place behaviour
As I drag an item out of the library panel, as soon as the item clears the edge of the panel, the search results reset to whatever library I was looking at before; the search results are lost.
This frequently results in me having to repeat the exact same search multiple times over which can be madening. Consider the following situations:
1) I forgot to alt-click/my alt-click didn't register, and I'm stuck with a linked file which can't be converted to a useful vector (I've never yet actually wanted to place a linked file from the library, so having that…

How much the arrow keys move a selected object around in any direction **w.r.t. the zoom level**
I think the primary goal of letting us control the object with the arrow keys is so we can be accurate with its placement on the artboard. But this becomes completely useless if the zoom level is very high, in which the arrow keys move the object a big distance. This forces us to use the mouse to get an accurate position for the object.
What I really need: If we've zoomed in on an artboard, then let the arrow keys move the object a smaller distance than usual so that we can be more accurate with an object's placement…

Paint, Draw, Spatter on Vector like Raster for Visual Digital Artisans
It takes conversations like this to know what customers want to dive into if they see Adobe, & for years I tried but run away from Adobe, it was extreme, even Illustrator. It didn’t feel like the art drawing, medium, etc.
I grew up learning. No one grew up as a child to use Adobe. But they can if it feels like it on screen. You are #1 and growing too, my voice hopefully adds more light that.
Combine easier icons that newbies know, more raster in style (Rebelle, Artrage), but Adobe all in one vector that combines the two,…

New larger Free Distort effect interface
We really need a global, accurate transform and distort window in the application. It needs more detail, the ability to recall the last applied action and interaction with bitmaps. This is a feature people have been asking for nearly 20 years - I've even designed it for you! Can you build it now?
