2. User folder for custom brushes and graphic styles

   It would be great if there were a way to quickly save a selected custom brush and/or graphic style to a single user folder. This would make access easier, and enable better organization.

3. Remove Single Handle from Within the Pen-Tool

   If you want to REMOVE a handle by clicking, this can be achieved by using the Convert Anchor Point-Tool and Clicking on it.

   Now, all other Pen-Tool Functions can be accessed by pushing modifier keys like Ctrl and Alt, except for this one. It requires you to change out of the tool.

   I therefore suggest adding the functionality to the ALT-Mode of the Pen-Tool, which activates the Anchor Point-Tool, that if you click on a handle, this handle gets removed.

   This does NOT conflict with the current function, which is to disconnect handles, since this require Click and Drag.

4. A preference to not select objects by center point

   I do not want to select objects by their center point. I never do. I do not want to have to change this setting in the Attributes panel every. single. time. I want to disable object selection by center point.

5. Illustrator forgets which color mode is set in the Color palette (and Gradient)

   Color panel always starts with RGB values. That's useless or very hard to use 99% of the time. So first thing for me is to set my Color panel to HSB and it stays like that for that session, but after a restart it's RGB again. Always!
   Gradient panel is even worse because it forgets instantly.
   Standard gradient's pop up color select is a Grayscale slider. I've never in my life needed that - not to mention HSB has the same with the value slider. But this bothers me less than what follows:
   If I change Grayscale to HSB and do anything (click away, select same object again) it goes to what? RGB. Always.

   Please make this consistent and make AI remember my color mode choice permanently (until purposeful change)

   I don't dare to ask for HSB as the default program-wise, but to be honest that would be the best.

6. Illustrator 88's pen tool worked better than this one

   Please, please... does anyone at Adobe actually draw with the current pen tool? This is the main tool in your toolbox and it hasn't had a good flow since Illustrator 10. You should be able to draw and use modifier keys to change to the +, - and ^ with ease. Instead, the cursor flashes and gives you one teensy moment when any of those are available resulting in additional points being placed when you might, for instance, be trying to remove a point. The direction handles get in the way of reaching points. Segments are selected too easily when you are trying to get a point. It's just too touchy and a miserable ghost of the original pen tool.

   In trying to accommodate "new features", you have reduced the ability to create precision. And you have caused me to throw my Wacom pen across the room ...multiple times.

   Bring back simplicity. Mess with other programs.

7. Option to Have Golden Ratio & Rule of Thirds Grid (like PS)

   For a canvas, if there is an option to get a Grid for 'Rule of Thirds' or Golden Ration.

   This will make a lot easier for the designer and will be more effective in Illustrator as compared to PS (where this option is available) where vector designs are being created.

8. An ability to permanently move the transformation center (pivot, anchor) when rotating, scaling, etc.

   Rotation center point should be able to remain with objects and groups and then used when rotating an object using the bounding box controls.

   I want to be able to permanently edit (and reset) an object's (or group's) rotation axis (center point). I want the new rotation axis to apply for subsequent rotation transformations, for example when using the bounding box controls.

   Currently, the rotation tool (r) allows you to pick up and move an object's center, and then rotate the object around that point. Great, except that point disappears as soon as you exit the rotation tool, which isn't very helpful.

   I'm told Corel Draw had something like this... I can't overstate how much power and efficiency it would add to my workflow. For instance, with figures, It would enable something akin to rigging!

9. Allow users to set direction for X and Y axes

   Several versions ago Adobe decided to flip Y-axis, so origin now is placed TOP-left instead of BOTTOM-left, as it was before.
   They say it was done for compatibility with Photoshop and InDesign, which both have y-axis going down.

   I think that breaking people's workflow, deciding only ONE direction is right, was wrong.

   InDesign is a publishing software, it works with a flow. I don't know anybody who reads from bottom to up (RTL — yes). When you move an object there, you don't move it up, you move it backwards

   Photoshop is raster graphics editor, it works with a readable grid of pixels, which are written from top left (we see it every time when images load slow in browsers). Using Photoshop since version 5 I never experienced any trouble with axis going down, because it just never mattered! I retouch photos mostly. People, who uses it for drawing web-design (!) are still OK, because web pages go down. Anyway, PS even hasn't precise move dialogue controls.
   And of course, the fact y-axises go one direction, is just a coincidence (when there is only two variants for y-axis to go — it's highly occasional) — because these two programs care for different fields.

   But Illustrator is about vectors.
   Y-axis goes up in Cartesian coordinate system.
   We move objects up meaning up here.
   It was a consistency for the sake of consistency.
   It was convenient for devs and not end users.
   It was a mistake to do.
   Adobe should have asked users to vote about denying common sense.
   And Adobe should never ever ever had not given users ability to flip it.

   In fact, there IS a way to make y-axis to go down, as it was before: you have to manually set flags in prefs file:
   /isRulerIn4thQuad 0
   /isRulerOriginTopLeft 0

   BUT it causes Move dialogue to be broken (I also have this bug reported). And since there is such an ability and I can flip it in Prefs file — I will fight for an ability to work fully (the worse thing Adobe can do now — is to kill this opportunity).

   I don't ask for ruler origin to be changed to bottom left by DEFAULT, NO, Adobe already had given us an opportunity to change this by editing flags! The ideal outcome would be just a switch in Preferences within AI (and a bugfix for Move dialogue that is set upon existing and approved behaviour).

   I know quite a lot of highly valuable people from Adobe forums who still votes for y-axis go up:
   CarlosCanto (he even wrote a script to undo your unexpected making, https://forums.adobe.com/message/3859338)
   JETalmage (you should have seen this post back in 2009! https://forums.adobe.com/thread/497089)
   Jacob Bugge and all other people who agree with them in comments.

   Nobody among my colleagues I know personally likes this. And only two of them having spoken about it at forums. Imagine how many just cry silently.

   Xara allows to flip axes.
   Canvas allows to.
   Inkscape seems to be able too.
   Affinity can't, but YET.

   Please.

10. Select more than one layer at once

    Okay if you have more than one layer...let's say 50 and I need to select 20 of them. Why can't someone select them with a single click instead of selecting every single layer? With shift selected I can mark more than one but they aren't selected. Same thing for sublayers and so on.

    Hi Everyone, This feature has been available since August 2020 release (version 24.3). Please update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html Thank you for all the feedback.

    
    

    You can now select multiple layers in Layers panel. Click the bars (they get highlighted blue) if you want to operate layers and not their content (e.g. to drag to reorder) or click their markers to select their content — circle (target ones) or square (selection ones) next to them. There is no real difference which to pick, but if you want to select a range of layers, using Shift, use target markers.

11. All letters turning to CAPS when "all caps" is selected - ð/Ð always stays lowercase (Icelandic)

    All letters turning to CAPS when "all caps" is selected would be nice. The ð/Ð always stays lowercase (ð), it has to be changed manually to the uppercase 'Ð' ...which is extremely annoying.

12. Set class info for SVG

    You can set the name of a path that becomes an id in the svg export.
    If you are programming in javascript to animate items in the svg, you need the id, but also classes. This would mean we could manipulate many different objects in one command.
    What we need is to set a list of classes (in the Properties window, probably). So if you set the list to orangeStyle, dark, tobeResized (probably with a + sign to add another class) and the svg output will have class="orangeStyle, dark, tobeResized" inside.

13. Save Illustrator and PDF at the same time

    I usually save my original Illustrator file and save a PDF for proofing purposes; but usually I make updates to the illustrator file; so I have to save it again as PDF; I think it would be cool to add a check box to the save window asking you if you would like to update your PDF reflecting the updated changes on the Illustrator file.

14. Find Font window panel - expandable/resizable and searchable

    Please simply allow the Find Font window panel to be expandable/resizable. Difficult to tell between the different weights on long font names such as:
    Helvetica Neue LT Extended Heavy
    vs
    Helvetica Neue LT Extended Black

    The panel needs more horizontal space or even a tooltip to pop-out the full font name.

17. Can't add EPS files to Creative Cloud libraries

    Illustrator CC v. 22.1
    Mac OS High Sierra v. 10.13.4

    When attempting to add an EPS file to a Creative Cloud library (click and drag from Mac finder to open library panel in Illustrator), the library panel indicates that I am "adding multiple files" and when I release the mouse button I get the error message that "bulk uploads are not supported in this file format" (see screenshot attached).

    Currently, it seems the only workaround we have is to place the vector artwork inside an InDesign document, and then drag and drop into the library from there. However, my organization uses EPS files as part of our regular production work flow, and it would be very helpful if we could add these to our libraries directly from our Finder window.

18. When exporting an image, using artboard, with a single artboard, don't change filename.

    If save an image using "Export As" , and I select the "use artboards" (because I want the image to be of that size, and I only want to export one specific artboard of my file, It would be better if it didn't add to the file name (ie: the filename-01.png would be filename.png). This is because I find myself exporting each layer of the same artboard with a specific name (ex: characterarm.png, characterleg.png, etc) and I have to remove the "01"s manually.
    I understand that this feature is really useful when exporting all the artboards at the same time, but sometimes I need to individually export layers of a specific artboard. That's why I'm saying, that this would apply if I am exporting a single artboard. (or have an option for this).
    Thank you

    The latest version of Illustrator now allows you to manually control the behavior with the 'Suffix' option in the Export As dialog. Please check if it it works for you and comment back if it does not. 

19. Add 'Expand shape' button in Transform palette

    You can convert live ellipses and rectangles to ordinary paths by using Unite in Transform palette, which is a nice hack. But the only way to convert live lines to paths — is through menu, Object > Shape > Expand shape. Three precise clicks with long distances run in-between.

    Please, add button for this in shape properties area in Transform palette. There's plenty of space.

    When path can be converted to live shape, change 'Expand live shape' button to 'Convert to live shape'.

    And why there's no command for that in contextual menu still?
