Open file from windows explorer with Illustrator while minimised
When in Windows 10 and I have a explorer window open from doing an import into another app Eg. InDesign and then while having the file list open then right clicking on a file to open with Illustrator I get a window too small error (if illustrator currently has been minimised in some way. It would be nice if this file open with illustrator could open the app window bigger so that it could display the file for editing.

Show linked files from Illustrator files in Bridge
It works for Photoshop and InDesign files, why not for Illustrator ones? All of them are built on the XMP platform.

File versioning...
This would probably be quite an undertaking to add, but it would be awesome if you could add versioning to AI files - the ability to save "states" or different versions of a file, using diff internally to minimize file size.

Mobile of this website has no linkback to other softwares
I suspect this to be the case with the other softwares as well.

Editable Brushes - Be able to change the art of the brush not just the settings.
When you make a brush using selected art currently you can only edit parameters about that brush. You cannot make edits to the art that is at the core of the brush. It would be great if you could edit that art. Like how you can edit the objects that make up a symbol.
Right now the only solution is to just make a new brush if you need to change the art.

Search filed is focused by itself
Every time I go back into Illustrator, the current version, my cursor automatically appears in the search area in the upper right hand corner. This was never the case in the past. This is problematic because, when I go back into Illustrator, I may want to select a tool or paste an object and unless I click on the artboard first, it pastes into the search window. Just one more simple glitchy thing that SLOWS DOWN WORKFLOW!
1 voteIn the latest release this search filed is gone, and it now has a button instead. Most probably it does solve the problem. Please comment back if it does not.

Chinese Fonts
Can Chinese fonts have a second "english" identifier associated with it in Illustrator and Photoshop. Per our client, we're using a very specific typeface to translate an english document into Chinese. In this case it's Source Han Sans CN.
While it displays fine in ID, it was nearly impossible to locate in PD and AI

Stop making new features the default.
It's really annoying that you introduce a new feature that works in a different way to how it's been for years and then you make it the default. It seems like a bug or something's not working. Then we go online and google it and find out it's a new thing and to add insult to injury it's the default and we can't default it back to the old way, that we use a hundred times a day.
The dynamic symbol is a great example of that. People have been complaining about it since 2017 and still the default.1 vote -

please add extended wordcount
I need to count the number of words in a complicated diagram with a lot of text boxes.
Grant proposals require a maximum number of words and they also count the number of words in graphs and illustrations. So please just tell me how many words are in a document so I don't have to select and copy paste hundreds of words out of textboxes into a wordcounter (or Indesign). That would be great in the future. This is tw also not possible in Indesign because you need to select the text to get a count, whereas I need to…

Hybrid Outline View
It would be useful to have a hybrid outline view that combines both Preview and Outline modes. This would be useful in manipulating objects that are hard to see or have no color (for example bounding boxes without a fill or stroke) without needing to switch views.

Yo can change global units in Preferences > Units with no document open.
-
Object > Path > Clean Up - change back to notification
Clean up used to tell you how many things it cleaned up (I believe?)
Now it says if it was unnecessary, but if it does clean up, doesn't say how many things it fixed. This was quite satisfying to know and also can help problem solve/clue to where the cleaned points were. If you are dealing with similar art files on a regular basis this could be useful information.1 vote -
False translation in preferences window
In preferences window's unit section the "type" text is translated wrong.
Type must be translated as "yazı" or "yazım" as in the top menu.The text "tür" must be corrected as "yazı" or "yazım".

Allow Color Coding for windows and tabs
I appreciate the many ways Adobe has updated the workspace in Illustrator to be as efficient as possible. However, one thing that I constantly find myself running into is the slight frustration of having to click, or read, or hotkey through the different tabs or windows in order to perform a new function or locate a file.
A project may require many windows in my workspace or I'm working with multiple files I'm having to bounce between.. I'm in a good creative workflow zipping through my project, and then, I find myself having to stop and do a little search…

Stop censoring the term "M.a.g.i.c W.a.n.d" to **********
Trying to search for feature requests related to the ********** tool (M.a.g.i.c. W.a.n.d.), reveals that the Adobe uservoice site is censoring the term. Either your moderators are 12yo boys giggling at obscure euphemisms, or you're so reluctant to alter the functionality of the MW tool that you're purposely obscuring all attempts to garner support for any feature requests.

concentric texture tool
it would be very useful to have concentric textures and not just from a point to a point.
Another request for textures would be to be able to define in some situations the starting point of the plot, the point of arrival and maybe even the point of intersection.1 vote
