Why do we not have a relink option in the right-click menu when an image is selected? How did this ever get by y'all?

It would be great if we were able to place a multipage PDF instead of each link clicking through the finder window to the same file and going through the PDF pages one at a time again and again to place them in a document.

Make layer comp visibility overrides work regardless of color space. When placing layer comps from PSD, the color spaces for both documents need to be the same in order for the layer comp visibility overrides to be sticky in AI. If one is CMYK and the other is RGB, and the layer comps are changed, the placed comps do not keep their original comp visibility overrides.

Please, allow the layer blend modes from Photoshop files to be retained when placing them in Illustrator. It's done within Corel, it should be native to Adobe products.

I don't get why images can't be unembedded in the original format they were embedded in, but assuming there's some internal format limitation, there's certainly no reason why all the unembedded images should default to the generic "AI_Image.psd" filename when you have the original filename right there in the links palette!!!!
Throw us a bone here, please!

Sometimes i work with files that have a lot links and when i send to factory i have to embed those links which can take what feels like forever! If there was a Embed All button it would save so much time.

Allow an option in preferences for missing links to be view or show an empty image box. The visual image can be an issue with some industries dealing with a variety of clients and file volume.

Previewed file with the image
Printed file without the image

When opening a file containing linked images that have been revised AI will automatically update images without any alert.

This is pretty dangerous for anyone working with a team or refer/update old projects.

Would love to have it ask me first or at least tell me which links were updated. Something to create awareness that things have changed since it was last opened.

adding a locked icon on the layer with the layer number on hover, you would make an unlock this link

Option to open folder containing linked file when choose "Relink file" instead of open last folder

Please return the feature from the older versions that lets you unembed JPEGs & PNGs. I hate that it's only possible to do with TIFFs and PSDs now. It's such a pain when you're trying to reduce the file size.

Pour avoir la possibilité de retrouver les images incorporées au besoin.
Dès que l’image est pixellisée ou recadrée, nous perdons cette précieuse information.

When you have a large number of linked files changes, but you have a manual mode with the confirmation, you can’t say 'Update all links' in the dialogue window, and you don’t have it as a button in the Links panel.

When I duplicate files with their respective links in a new folder, in order to produce a new art in the same format as the first. Illustrator does not change the link address, when I click on "Edit Original" it opens the link of the first folder, if we are not aware, we end up editing the link of the wrong folder.

Keep File Name on Embedded Images. So many times the file name disappears after the image is embedded and the file is saved. If you have multiple versions of an image it would be helpful to have the file name.

Since AI devs don't seem keen to add 16-bit functionality to AI, at the very least, support your users by informing them that they are importing something that AI cannot display correctly.
