2. Linked file is not shown like it should be

   I also found this issue while linking the file between the other apps (InDesign/Premiere Pro).
   Please see the attached pictures for reference.

   I normally linked the file(s) and lay on another size to make a production.
   It's easy to modify the original (one file), and the other linked files will be updated.

   Now I need to export to a photo and re-link the file.

   Why are the advantage functions continuing to disappear?

   Including the Cloud Storage, it is useless. Cannot share or download the file. Modifying the file on the cloud is a nightmare (super lack).
   The old version (shared assets) is very useful for me, the team, and the suppliers.

3. Help user to show open panels

   Sometimes UI panels are covered by others. When choosing those panels from the menu, a blue outline hints on their position.
   Why not bring it to front? in 99,99 % of the cases, that is what users want.

4. Background option for thumbnail view when saving vectors, especially white vectors

   When a user goes through the save options on the pop-up window, it would be nice to add a feature that lets one select a background color for the thumbnail image. My reason for this is so my white vector files do not disappear on a white background. That would be great for me as a designer. The real trick would be if this thumbnail could also be viewed by anyone on their computer. White logos and icons I develop are passed off to clients or internal team members. Seeing that thumbnail can eliminate doubt and questions about the image actually being saved.
   If this feature exists, please let me know.
   Thanks for your consideration

5. Paste in Front / Back should be disabled while actively editing text

   Ctrl+B and Ctrl+F are still available to paste objects while user is actively editing text. This should not be allowed.
   Ctrl+V does some kind of text only paste in the active text edit field (this makes sense) but hitting Ctrl+B or Ctrl+F (by default, paste in back/front) these will ACTUALLY paste artwork whatever it may be in the location copied from, WHILE the user is in the text edit field. This could mean unexpected behavior and user may not realize they pasted something as it may not even have drawn on screen.
   Editing text should be single threaded, and focused on editing text, or you're just going to limit the keyboard shortcut possibilities or confuse users.

6. Estimate file size before PNG and other formats export

   I would love to save an estimate of file size before exporting PNGs, that way I could adjust the resolution to suit my needs. I would be really useful for exporting files for web for example.

9. Illustrator and Photoshop show fractional CMYK color values differently

   I have a CMYK document, and it has a linked image in it, with an intentionally chosen profile, with some specific colors set for the background, and these have to be the part of the background, because of blending modes used.
   Now I need to grab those colors form the clear parts of the background to quickly transfer them into vector part of the design. But when I try — Ai lies about values.

   Instead of
   70-15-0-0
   0-35-85-0
   0-95-20-0
   I get
   69.8-14.9-0-0
   0-34.9-85.1-0
   0-94.9-20-0

   Not much, right? Just 0.2%, why are you mad?
   But these would be enough to break Select Same Fill later, duplicate swatches if added next to existing ones in other documents, drop my trust level for the tool and force me cleaning this mess in the time I need I can’t spend. Sure, there are methods to help with this, but it’s not MY error. It’s Ai’s lie.

   ...later Ton Frederiks suggested it’s Photoshop that is rounding numbers.
   To quote: if the placed file gets rasterized, it gives the fractions in Illustrator. But if the file gets exported from Illustrator as .tif, Photoshop will show the same rounded numbers it started with. Photoshop will not allow fractions and force round numbers when we try to enter percentages like 69,8%. CMYK values go from 0-100 while image values have a range from 0-255.

   Indeed, I tried to rasterize a rectangle with fractions in CMYK color (55.69) and opened the image in Photoshop — and got integers, 56...
   But then I mix the very same color in Ps, making integers manually, fill half of the image with this new color and try to pick colors from this image in Ai: Ai still picks the original 55.69 from the original half of the image... and 56.08 from the half I flooded with Ps’s 56!
   And Ps SEES them as different color when Color Picker is used, displaying different Lab, RGB, HSB values, but CMYK stays the same, rounded.

   In my experiment below I did a similar thing: created these in Ai first (but no fractions), rasterized it, used to make a composition and placed back into Ai.
   Double conversion and forcing integers (visually) would explain it.

   So Ai is rather precise... but the irritation stays.
   Now the question would be — what to do with the uncomfortable truth? 'Fighting ignorance' is my favorite choice, but...

   I don’t have a clear solution to this — and I invite others to a discussion — but perhaps the Eyedropper can get an option to Emulate Photoshop Eyedropper (round CMYK values)?

   I have a CMYK document, and it has a linked image in it, with an intentionally chosen profile, with some specific colors set for the background, and these have to be the part of the background, because of blending modes used.

10. Advanced Image Trace Results for Cartoon/Comic Book Outline

    Hello, I'd like to see enhancements done to the Image Trace feature. I am a cartoonist and draw comics. Whenever I scan my drawings in I see that the digital copies show the outlines rather jagged. I began looking for a way to have the outline show smooth. That's when I found out about Image Trace in Illustrator.

    Now the Image Trace feature does smooth out the lines, however, it will merge the lines in a way I'd rather not have. I've tried many different options and have not landed on the exact look I want, unless I first do the Image Trace and then go in manually and edit the line with erasing and redrawing. I've attached an example picture. The third image is more exact to how I'd like the Image Trace to show the outline.

    I am in the stages of finishing a large comic book that is about a hundred pages and it is taking a very long time to go through every single page with Image Trace and then manually smoothing the outline. If there's a way that enhancements could be done to the Image Trace feature, perhaps specifically for comic outlines, it would be valuable for me because it would significantly save a lot of time, speed up my workflow, and create a better looking end product. Thank you!

    PS: I primarily use Photoshop for my drawings but in order to smooth out the outline I began using Illustrator. So even if there is a tool/feature within Photoshop that could do the same thing of smoothing the outline that would also be valuable.

12. Make Free Transform scale corners, strokes, and effects by default, like it used to

    In the past, 99% of the time I used Free Transform was to resize objects without making them look different. I realize that it also has perspective+distort options, but I only use those occasionally, and I very frequently switched between the Selection tool and Free Transform depending on how I wanted to resize an object. Now every time I want to do that, instead of simply hitting the V and E shortcuts, I need to go to the Transform panel and check/uncheck 2 boxes. This is a huge pain and I don't understand why it was changed. What is even the difference between basic Selection and the default option for Free Transform anymore?

14. Rotate bounding box only

    It’s similar to a request to do it on iPad I made: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/931888/suggestions/46244521

    Ditto.
    Ai should give us a mode to freely rotate the bounding box the way we need, to zero or any angle.
    There should be a way to quickly align it to a chosen straight segment or even a point.

    Affinity Designer has a feature that can be used for this purpose, Select > Cycle / Set Selection Box — even though it doesn’t exactly does the same thing.
    There are also two plugin methods to achieve this in Ai today:
    1. ToolShed plugin by Graffix: https://rj-graffix.com/product/toolshed/ (it introduces a separate tool for transforming, to avoid dealing with Ai’s bugged accumulated rotation — the tool allows to 'visually set the bounding box angle in order to stretch the art along any angle you choose')
    2. Bounding Box Tool by Totallypic: https://totallypic.com/digital-downloads/categories/plugins (not sure though it’s still available separately now, the developer intended to include it in their larger IllustKit plugin)

15. Create new document using current document settings

    I would like to be able to create a new document using the current settings in an open document; artboard measurements, bleed, color swatches, etc.

    For example, when I am creating logos I often iterate on multiple artboards until the client is happy with the final output. I would like to then create a new document so that I can copy/paste the final, approved, logo into a new doc so that I have a clean file I can share or link in InDesign documents.

    This could work as either an option in the new document window, or right clicking an artboard and having the option to "create new document from artboard"

16. 【要望】文字組み更新機能が本当にいらない&邪魔です。

    せめて無効に出来るとか設定追加してほしいです。
    他デザイナーから受け取った最終データを書き出した際にハングル文字が混じった状態になっていました。
    ウィンドウも毎回邪魔ですし余計な機能です。
    せっかくレイアウトに合わせて文字組みした状態なのに勝手に変換されて崩れるのも困りますし、バグも多いし全然嬉しいと思った場面がないです。

    何か新しい取り組みの一環なのか知りませんが
    このような機能を追加するなら有効/無効が選択できる状態で実装してください。
    文字組みは自分でやります。

17. 'Click to copy value' button in Color doesn’t indicate the value gets copied clearly

    I don’t like how the 'Click to copy value' button in Color panel is designed — when it gets pressed, it selects the value and that’s it. It makes us think we NEED to copy it, and the button just selects... other editors in similar or related conditions show a shy message or change the icon for the button, indicating the copying happened.

18. Move artboards with the Selection Tool the same as Photoshop

    In Photoshop, artboards can be moved simply by selecting the artboard name above the artboard. The same functionality would be useful in Illustrator, instead of having to select the Artboard Tool.

19. Snap Bézier handles to consistent lengths

    Would it be possible to add more precise settings regarding the snap behavior of the Pen tool’s anchor points, especially for the handles? This feature exists in Figma and is very useful for ensuring that handles have the same length, distance, and alignment.

    In addition, these handles are often difficult to click. They should be made more accessible, either by increasing their size or by enlarging them by hover.

20. registerKeyEventsInterest fundamentally broken in modern Illustrator (silent failure)

    I am reporting a critical issue with the registerKeyEventsInterest API. In modern versions of Illustrator, this function is completely broken for global keystroke interception. Worse, it fails silently with no errors or feedback in the CEF console.

    According to the CEP documentation, we should be able to pass a JSON string to this API to catch key events and stop the host app from swallowing them. But right now, calling csInterface.registerKeyEventsInterest() with a standard JSON payload does absolutely nothing.

    If you set up a basic CEP panel, include CSInterface.js, and try to register interest in a global keystroke, the code runs without throwing an error. But when you actually press the keys, Illustrator just ignores the panel and triggers its native action anyway.

    Because the API fails silently, developers waste hours trying to debug a black box

    We need to know if this API has been quietly deprecated for Illustrator or if this is an acknowledged bug. If it is a bug, it needs to be patched. An official API should not just act like a black hole.

    This has been an ongoing issue across recent modern builds.
