I would like to ask for a reminder or alarm feature
I would like to ask for a reminder or alarm feature, which can be in the settings and the user can set it up (somewhat personalized)
Example:
- I need a reminder to hit save every 5 minutes.
- I would like to set a reminder for a mistake I usually do half way through my design. (so maybe a reminder to double check the artwork process)1 vote -
Can you build an illustrator that crashes every minute instead of every five minutes?
Can you build an illustrator that does not crash every single day? How is this possible? Used to be able to run illustrator for weeks without a crash and now it crashes everyday. Your garbage products get worse by the minute. Useless!!!

Wacom 6D brushes / better performance and extended settings for calligraphy brushes
It would be nice if there were more options for textures in Ai. The basic brush set “Wacom 6d-Brushes” was an interesting approach. Unfortunately, the brushes are not useful for round shapes. The rendering only divides the projection into straight lines. Basically, I think they are ordinary calligraphy brushes with some custom settings.
I wish that the settings for brushes in general were a bit more advanced and usable.
Opacity and speed are important parameters for intuitive drawing and would make contours so much more vivid...1 vote -
Fontion Annuler et Refaire (Undo / Redo) à revoir
Je n'ai jamais compris pourquoi le logiciel était programmé pour conserver en mémoire les opérations Affichage / Désaffichage et Verrouillage / Déverrouillage lorsqu'on utilise la fonction Annuler (Undo) ou CTRL-Z ou Refaire (Redo) ou MAJ-CTRL-Z, maintenant aussi ajoutée dans la fonctionnalité Historique. Ces opérations conservées en mémoire de l'outil sont complètement inutiles et nuisent aux performances de travail. Ce ne sont pas des opérations importantes à conserver en mémoire. Il est très facile d'aller dans le panneau Calques et d'ajuster ces paramètres. nous même si une erreur d'affichage/verrouillage est constatée. Lorsqu'on utilise la fonction Annuler, ce n'est JAMAIS pour annuler…

Put gradients in swatch groups, option to make them global, work between Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop
It's a three-in-one suggestion around the entire universe of gradient issues in Adobe software.
A. Why can't we put gradients in swatch group folders? This seems like a very basic feature for swatch organization.
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31389250B. Why can't the gradient be global so editing a swatch position or color in the gradient panel moves/changes it across all uses of the gradient relative to the current scale of that gradient?
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33164479 and
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/37224865)C. Why can't we save gradient swatches in a way that is shareable between other Adobe software? Available gradient styles are also inconsistent in the Adobe-verse.

Make an option for shadows from separate 3D objects to be unified to avoid overlapping darkness
Why do shadows overlap if applied to multiple shapes at the same time?
Shadows are subtractive and so applying the shadows individually to each shape makes no sense as you end up with a darker patch where the two objects' shadows overlap, which is not how shadows work. There should be an option to toggle to apply shadows as one unified "shape" or effect so that this is not an issue.1 vote -
Custom keyboard shortcuts for File Commands should work when no document is open.
Because custom keyboard shortcuts only work when a file is open, some File Commands like New from Template don't work when you would need it.

Preferences did not copy from previous Ai version to Ai 2025
The recent Illustrator update did not copy all the our previous settings & preferences. So we need to manually do it again. Previous versions doesn't have this issue? The only reason why we update is because our clients are using the latest Ai, but after update, preferences need to MANUALLY RE-DO! Why it keeps on happening! We are a 24/7 company. My goodness! Adobe!

Explode Command
There's a command in Autodesk 3ds max called "explode", it will ungroup a group of elements and all sub-groups under it, so if there's a group that includes multiple levels of sub-groups, they will all explode to individual elements or objects, would love to see that in Illustrator and Photoshop

More templates for phones
Would be great to have consideration of other mobile phone devices on market, not just focusing on Apple. Or remove the Apple phones & just have the sizes on handsets.

Remove the requirement for an application frame for multiple monitors
I don't use the application frame, as it is less productive. Please remove the requirement to use an application frame for multiple monitors. There is NO technical reason why I can't simply drag a document from one monitor to another.

文字プロパティの「さらに検索」の言語表示を改善
文字プロパティの「さらに検索」で母国語以外の他言語が上位表示される仕様になっている。
日本ユーザーの場合、韓国語が上位表示されており、利便性に欠けるとともに、ローカライズが出来ていない状態といえる。
ユーザーの母国語を最優先に表示する仕様に改善すべきと考える。

Having '.2' at the end of a filename makes Save As dialog drop actual file type when saving
I need to save multiple Files withe Pos.1, Pos.2, Pos.3 etc.. Every time i want to save a file with the filename ".2" at the end wil not save the file.. In the Explorer will be the file but in a unreadable file type.
1 voteIt turns out some application added '.2' as a file type, and Ai had to comply with it when auto-completing file names in OS-managed dialog.
Follow the solution in the comments if you have a similar problem.

Ability to pre-select Fill Color for the Type tool, rather than defaulting to Black text.
Ability to pre-select Fill Color for the Type tool, rather than defaulting to Black text. This allows for more flexibility and efficiency for using the type tool throughout a project with multiple text colors.
