[UXP, ExtendScript] API access to Link Info Idea: to provide simple script API access to placed image information as displayed in the Link Info section of the Links Panel. Especially pixel dimensions, PPI, scale and rotation. Currently there are no simple ways to get this information via script.
Note: if too late for ExtendScript, please consider this while implementing UXP.
I posted this here because this information is something I have wanted for my own scripts, and we get quite a few questions about this on the user forum, too, so it seems like a considerable lack at the moment.

Menu TYPE no Illustrator Creio que seria muito interessante inverter a ordem no Menu Type:
"Fontes Recentes" ficar antes da opção "Fontes".
Porquê:
Ao levar o ponteiro do mouse para o menu "Fontes Recentes", quase sempre o mouse atinge a opção "Fontes", o que trava momentaneamente o programa (carregando as fontes). Então, o que deveria ser uma coisa rápida, prática, acaba ficando lenta. A troca na ordem dessas opções acabaria com esse incoveniente.2 votes -
Remove size limitation on playing tutorial videos in the Discovery window Illustrator allows playing tutorial videos in the Discover panel (Help > Tutorials). However, the size of the video is constrained by the width constraint on the Discovery window. There is no apparent way to enlarge the video big enough to see the detail in the video to follow along with the tutorial. Tutorial videos should be able to be enlarged up to full screen. Many videos only appear to be accessible now through the in-app tutorial.

Export Jpg and PNG with with the option of including or excluding bleed It would be great to have the feature in the export window (in one of the two attached)
The only way to remove the bleed is to remove document bleed temporarily or remove it manually in Photoshop.
We remove bleed before we add the artwork to our catalogues

Ability to see the size of elements in terms of KB/MB to easily find cause of file bloat When trying to strip down a file, it would be really useful to be able to see which effects in particular are bloating the file. For example - I had a file with a load of boxes with a glow effect applied to them. I thought I had undone all of this but the size of the file was still over 40mb. I had to dig through all the boxes again in the appearence panel to see that there were two instances of a rasterize effect that i'd missed. when i deleted those the file size went down by over…

Umlaute In den Adobe Programmen ist es sehr umständlich Umlaute zu verwenden wenn man mit dem Mac arbeitet. In der Regel ist es so, dass man z.B. ä, ö und ü bilden kann in dem man lange auf die Tasten a, o und u drückt. Dann öffnet sich ein Kontextmenü in dem man den gewünschten Umlaut auswählen kann. Leider ist die Verwendung von Umlauten nur mit komplizierten Shortcuts möglich. Hier ist dringend eine Verbesserung nötig!

Improved Layout of Illustrator Options Illustrator 2023 (v27)
This is a proposal to improve the layout of the Illustrator option.
Illustrator format files contain two different types of data: PGF and PDF data. Currently, Illustrator options have three settings: PGF only, PDF only, and common settings for both PGF and PDF. However, these settings are currently mixed together in the window, making it difficult for users to understand which setting they are operating on.
To make Illustrator options more easily understandable, we propose organizing the layout and clearly distinguishing each setting. By grouping the setting items and labeling each group clearly, users will be able…

Add a setting to make horizontal scrolling / zoom with mouse wheel match operating system In Windows, holding shift while scrolling scrolls horizontally and holding ctrl while scrolling zooms in / out.
I would like to be able to the same behavior in InDesign so I do not have to consciously change how I navigate documents when using adobe products

Fit (selected) object to window Just as you can "Fit Artboard in Window" ⌘ 0,
And "Fit All in Window" ⌥⌘ 0,
It would be nice to fit (selected) Object to Window with simple keyboard shortcut.
I know Zoom ⌘ + with "zoom to selection" turned on does this somewhat. But often I have to continue to zoom up (+) in order to get the object to fill the screen.
The question then might be, well how much should the object fill the window? I think 150% is probably a good starting point, but being able to set the zoom percentage factor would be cool…

When I bring in an outside template, it would be helpful to have a popup explaining that I need to check the print box in layersl Print problems when using an outside template

Line and Shape Constraints/Relations Has probably been said a number of times but I'll add to that. Would love to see illustrator have the ability to add constraints/relations to lines and/or shapes. It's a super helpful tool in other programs and would just make it that much easier to make designs super crisp and perfect looking.

Eye dropper tool not functioning on IPad 3.0.2 Eye dropper tool is not working on iPad 3.0.2 (the latest version.)
Selecting a colour on an art board or photo with the eyedropper does not produce a matching colour, it only removes the existing colour of an object. Please could you let me know if this is a bug, or how to workaround this issue?1 vote -
Make Recolor work with Repeats Recolor does not do anything if you apply it the an piece of artwork inside of a Repeat object, and is completely unavailable when a whole Repeat is selected.
Stop abandoning features half-way and finish the integration.5 votes -
Add hotkey (key command) option for panel flyout menus There are a number of (small) requests for specific items in flyout menus — I’d like to consolidate that, here, into a GENERAL request in the hopes that it will get a larger response. You may not care if Cmd-J (Ctr-J for PC folks) will duplicate a layer as in Photoshop, but maybe you want to be able to create a new swatch with the key press of your choice.
Hotkey users of the world, unite!

Canvas Size Limit I know there is already a massive discussion around this topic, but I had an idea this morning. The "Large Artboard" that is now available as far as I can tell is not truly a new massive artboard. It's just doing 1:10 scale math for you automatically. I see underneath the hood when using my vinyl cutter for example. A file sent to the cutting software sees everything at 10% size. Another example is when copy/paste from large artboard to a normal board, it will come in at 10% size.
Here's my suggestion: Instead of having a single large artboard…2 votes -
Safety Can you add a safety margin in the same way as there is the ability to add a bleed guide? Like it has in InDesign

Ask to update links... for current document I remember now why I turned off ask user to update links... because it comes up for documents that are open but not being worked on. Can you fix it so it only asks when you go to that document?
Here's an example: I'm working on multiple concepts that are placed as links into a presentation document. Each concept, and the presentation doc are open. When I make a change to one of the concept docs, the dialog box to update the links pops up. 1. it doesn't tell me what document has the updated links. 2. it won't let…
