1. Imported SVG path elements - always black fill

   I am using the latest version of AI (early 2019).

   I notice that SVG path elements often lose their fill color. (They are always black.)

   Have not been able to pin down the exact circumstances where this fails, but I am attaching a bare bones file which exhibits the issue clearly.

   This file displays perfectly in (e.g.) chrome. There's a red and a green filled path.

   But when importing the SVG to AI, the 'red' path loses its fill and becomes black. The green fill is honored on input. I can't see any meaningful difference between the way the fill is described. The two paths are congruent.

   Note: The file was originated in AI. The 'red' fill CSS rule was added manually in a text editor after export. I believe it is well-formed SVG code.

   You can swap the class attributes between the two paths (in a text editor) and it will fail to import the fill for the other path.

   If you change the classname from "aha_red" to "st1" (both in the style element and in the class attribute for the path) it works fine.

   Can it be that AI is fussy about classnames 'not originated here'?

   No problem with polygon, rect, circle etc. Only path elements!

   And (BTW, GRR!) this webform wont accept SVG files. Had to rename it to .txt.

2. Syncable Color Swatch/Palette Library

   it would be nice to have one library with different categories.. you update it once and see it in every illustrator file!
   this would be very useful for personal use but also in teams, somewhat like a kuler for illustrator.

3. You can't enter isolation mode when nothing is selected

   Sometimes I want to create artwork without messing up with existing one, and without locking/hiding anything (because it's require for other operations).
   Sane way is to enter isolation mode and start there.
   But NO, AI won't let you isolate empty space! And I have to create one thing (trying to not auto-connect to existing paths), then isolate it and finally draw in peace.
   If you afraid that many users will double-click nothing and struggle understanding what has happened, make it an option.

5. CC cloud library "view by group" option when relink images...

   The addition of "view by group" option to organize assets has become paramount to manage great projects. But... I've faced the problem that when I want to relink any file from Cloud Libraries, the panel appears without any grouping or organization, needing to search through houndreds of individual asstes, manytimes sharing same name, and small enough to be undifferenciated each other.

6. Make it easier to use the color in paint bucket. it defaults to greyscale and hard to find way out of that. it should just be intuitive.

   JUST MAKE IT EASY TO USE

   I just want to get things done quick. why will an image we import to vectorize automatically be greyscale? AND WHY DO YOU MAKE IT HARD TO FIND HOW TO GET COLOR IN THERE??????

   old forum articles are obsolete, so why not just make it easier to use in the first place

7. Adobe Illustrator Scripting VERY slow - C#

   Adobe Illustrator Scripting VERY slow - C#
   Hello,

   i'm developting a small library to access PathObjects in Illustrator (works fine for CS2, CS5) - but i have massive performance problems with CC2019. I am using VS2017.

   Code looks like:

   Type AIType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID(AIAppName);
   dynamic illuApp = Activator.CreateInstance(AIType);

   if (illuApp == null)
   {
   return;
   }

   if (illuApp.Documents.Count < 1)
   {
   return;
   }

   System.Array lll = illuApp.ActiveDocument.selection;
   if (lll != null)
   {
   for (int i = 0; i < lll.Length; i++)
   {
   dynamic path = lll.GetValue(i);
   if (path != null)
   {
   var lll2 = path.PathPoints;
   Application.DoEvents();
   int iSelCount = lll2.Count;
   if (iSelCount >= 4)
   {
   string sss = path.typename;
   float dH = (float)(path.Height / dScale);
   float dW = (float)(path.Width / dScale);
   float dL = (float)(path.Left / dScale);
   float dT = (float)Math.Abs(path.Top / dScale);
   dynamic obCol = path.FillColor;
   sss = obCol.typename;
   Color col = Color.Black;
   if (sss.Contains("CMYK"))
   {
   var r = (int)(255 * (1 - obCol.Cyan / 100) * (1 - obCol.Black / 100));
   var g = (int)(255 * (1 - obCol.Magenta / 100) * (1 - obCol.Black / 100));
   var b = (int)(255 * (1 - obCol.Yellow / 100) * (1 - obCol.Black / 100));
   col = Color.FromArgb(r, g, b);
   }
   else if (sss.Contains("RGB"))
   {
   int r = (int)(obCol.Red);
   int g = (int)(obCol.Green);
   int b = (int)(obCol.Blue);
   col = Color.FromArgb(r, g, b);
   }

               Data.Add(NewInfo (dL, dT, dW, dH, col);
           }
       }
   }
   

   }

   Until CS5, processing 1000 selected rectangles need a couple of seconds, but on newer CC Versions it needs MINUTES.

   I use exactly the same code - is there something i am missing?

   Mainly accessing "path.PathPoints" (needs ~ 15 msec.) and "path.FillColor" (needs ~ 20 msec.) are time consuming.

   Thanks in advance for any hint! I have the performance issues on Win 7 and on Win 10.

8. Dark mode / Light mode (Automatic)

   Now that macOS support a real light/dark mode, it would be really nice to have this option enabled automatically in any Adobe products when I switch from light to dark and vice versa in my system preferences.

   It would be even cooler if you added an option to change the interface automatically depending on the time of the day.

10. Please remove the pop-up tip from the Color Themes panel

    It's difficult to try out colors in this panel, because a pop-up tip appears right underneath your pointer every time. I'd love to see the "Click to set active color" pop-up removed, as it makes the colors difficult to select and it really isn't even that informative.

11. Backward compatibility

    Making an artwork for some laser wood cutting machines suppose to save as old AI versions, as CS2. No problem with backward compatibity until CC 2019, where all strokes are converted into thin fills.

12. Smart Guides limited to current artboard

    An option to have Smart Guides only snap to things that are actually on the current artboard.

    It's annoying to be working on an empty artboard and have everything snap to things far off the screen on some other artboards. That can be pretty annoying.

13. Make Pen and Scissors tools prioritize editing to a selected path

    Am I missing something? can the pen and scissors tool prioritize editing to the selected path? If I'm editing a path behind another path it is often a complete guessing game when I'm trying to edit a selected path if it is anywhere near the top path.
    I just don't understand why anybody would find it useful that a selected path would be ignored for another overlapping path when using the pen or scissors tools

14. Make 'Recent fonts' section in Character palette work alongside with selecting current font in font list

    Recently AI made focus in font list in Character palette jump to the top of the list, in 'Recent fonts' part, thus making impossible to browse fonts in alphabetical order — you have to scroll font list manually to position.

    This is stupid.

    In 22.1.0 this request has been realized:
    https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/32044567-option-to-disable-recent-fonts-feature

    Now user can set '0' in Preferences to completely eliminate 'Recent' section in font list — and this magically 'fixes' selection of current font in context.

    This is stupid.

    I personally want to use BOTH 'Recent fonts' AND current font focusing.
    I don't care about it won't be selected in Recent: just show me chosen number of recent font options above the line (without selection), make it fixed (or make it go away right after I start scrolling) and select current font in the main list.

    Just like CorelDraw does (see image attached).
    Don' t do as Microsoft Word does (it does it wrong too).

    The current workaround for completely eliminating 'Recent' section in font list is to set '0' in Preferences > Type: Number of Recent Fonts.

    But since it’s stupid, please add votes to make it work properly.

15. Drag and snap by specific point

    Sometimes I want to drag a specific point of a path and move it to another specific part of another path but Illustrator makes it difficult to do it precisely. I wish it was easier to do that without having to create more anchor points.

16. Paste and match style within illustrator

    When copying from one text box with style A, then pasting into a text box with style B -- provide the ability to paste as style B in a single keystroke or step. Currently the default is to keep style A when pasting which requires an additional step to convert the style B.

20. Rotation of the Canvas

    Like in Photoshop it would be great if an Artist could rotate the artboard/canvas in Illustrator. If you draw a line from left to right it's never the same stroke as from up to down.

    Hi friends! I have some great news for your today. Rotate View (Canvas) feature is available in Illustrator 25.3 (Desktop) now. Thank you all for your feedback which helped us shape up this feature.
