1x folder
Right now, even when I'm not exporting any of my artboards as retina, Illustrator INSISTS upon exporting all PNG files inside a new folder called "1x." This is annoying, stupid, and unhelpful. It makes it hard to find when I go looking for the exports, I'm looking for descriptively named .png files, not a completely innocuous folder named "1x" for no reason.
Please stop ******* with exports. Just make it work like it did last version. This is not an improvement.

New crop feature
Would much prefer this feature to be similar to InDesign. Don't see me likely to use as is since it throws away unused data and embeds. Ability to NOT crop like that is one of the most useful features in InDesign. Masking although clumsy as a crop tool seems it will remain more flexible and useful.

dropbox syncing
When I open/save through the native Illustrator dialogue boxes, files that I have in my dropbox folders begin to download for no reason. I use SmartSync to keep my HD space optimized and this little glitch makes that impossible.

Variable Concept and Legacy Typefaces
The new version of Minion and Myriad are EXCELLENT, and I am very excited by the possibilities that this opens up. But I work in Art production, and for consistency, I need access to the legacy version of these typefaces. May we have access to both?

Remove units from input boxes
When editing a value in an input box, e.g. the width of an artboard, the unit (px) is still included in the box. This makes it harder to hit the right spot in the text with your mouse, and makes it more prone to error. It's especially annoying when performing arithmetic!
Trying to avoid this situation: "306 p+34x"

New version change over
New versions, NOT new name. Drop the year add-on. Just ask to overwrite existing app version. I use overflow to start up my apps, not the Adobe menu. By adding a new app name AND deleting the old one you BREAK ALL my links to ***** up my workflow.
Also, import to the new version ALL MY TEMPLATES. You created significant work for me to go an find the old templates and then get them into 2018
Most importantly: Send some of your engineers out to see people use your products in the real world that is NOT web design…

Search window in all Adobe programs
Add a window where I can search a feature, window, or command that exists in the program.
It's hard to remember where everything is located.1 vote -
Display colour swatches
Marquee across a portion of the artboard and then hit a hot key, which brings a pop up display of all of the swatches within the area you have marquee. From that pop up display you can select single or multiple colours. For instance if you have vectorised something and you find within the area you have marquee that there is multiple blues, you can select all of those blues in the pop up and then change them all to 1 colour from your swatches menu - a really quick way to reduce down the colours that you don't need

pencil tool selection behaviour adjusmtent
A detail that im missing from the legacy pencil tool.
Its a missing detail in the option keep to path selected or deselected after being drawn.
When this option is unchecked the object is deselected.
If the path is selected again to be drawn upon to adjust the shape. It deselects it again.
Now thats all logical and according to what the option says its supposed to do.BUT
The legacy pencil tool before its rewrite it worked almost like that but not quite the same, and it was great.
So you had the option to have the path deseletced after…

Angled Guidelines
I'm working on a typography piece right now and my guidelines look like this (see attached.) The black lines are straight strokes. I think it would be really neat to have an option for angled guidelines, so I don't have to mix vertical/horizontal guides with strokes.

In the new properties, have the overflow menu at the top opposite the panel name.
Feels odd seeing the overflow menu at the bottom, where it almost looks like it's part of the panel above it. Also, by placing it at the top of each panel, this could have space.

I would like to pick a colour from the fill for the stroke
I would like to pick a colour from the fill for the stroke.
So if I choose fill to be the main I would like to change it regardless if I am picking from the fill or the stroke.

When in pixel perfect mode (making PNG's), it would be nice if print reflected this.
By now the prints are in vektor and do not reflect the works...

Please make the slicing more like Fireworks with naming and sizes individual for each artboad (like stages/pages in Fireworks).
Currently I can not export bitmap icons with the the right names and in the right sizes as in Fireworks including padding.
And when I go to another document for a different platform (an app), I have to include the different sizes again.
Also I have no preview like in legacy before I overwrite the old picts.
Making graphics for mobile devices, your presets are based on the lowest resolution (@1). Some user control please...

Go back to old Align to Pixel check box
I wish Illustrator would go back to having a check box for align to pixel. That way I could see just by clicking on an object or objects that it is aligned. Now, in Illustrator CC 2017, I have to select every object seperately and press the new button on the top right, in order to get the message that it is aligned.

Color themes scroll bar
The Color Themes panel in Illustrator does not have a scroll bar. I am using a Wacom tablet, but the Color Themes panel does not scroll even when I have assigned the function "scroll" to its scroll bar. I can scroll in other applications, both Adobe and others, so it doesn't seem like the fault of the tablet or tablet driver. The fact that there is no scroll bar in the default UI so it can be used with any input device is a glaring oversight. The panel is nearly useless without one.

Distribute in patterns
I want the pattern to be able to connect more to the resulting repeat. With that I mean for example this.
1) If I draw a line freehand, from left to right. Then I would like to be able to make a seamless repeat of that line. So at the right I can "connect" to the left end and join/smooth it together
2) If I want 4 similar/identical things spaced evenly and repeated. Then I can distribute the group to space it evenly. But on the left and right side (or top/bottom) how do this spacing between the items gets…1 vote
