Guys, what do you say about having Edit > SVG Presets dialog (similar to presets for PDF there)? How often do we need to change several parameters at once and to juggle them exporting files for different tasks? I personally stick to a single set of values, but perhaps someone needs to have different ones regularly?

This script is incredibly helpful! Thank you!

@someone75 I just saw this and I cannot thank you enough for providing this useful enhancement to the code. It just saved me a day's work within 5 minutes.

@892701247-stephan-mönninghoff Added PNG an JPG support to the script, you can find it here: https://github.com/hirschferkel/ai-merge/blob/82f92ae6176c67b7182a30f501899914e34b78a0/Ai%20Merge.jsx

@adobe if you implement this, please make it work for any file, not just SVG. I use this all the time but it requires me to batch-convert all my pngs to svg first, which has its own little side-effects...

This script still works as of Illustartor latest update in 2023. This script literally saved me 1300 artboards, considering 1 minute on each artboard this would have taken me a total of 21 hours. With this script i did it in under 10 minutes.

Thank you, Cathy Anderson! The script is an absolute gem! I've wasted countless hours in the past arranging artboards and positioning icons. Just doing this once saved me about an hour or more. Amazing work, Scott Lewis (https://github.com/iconifyit)

I found a script. AI Merge that will bulk import SVG. It works pretty well. But it should be a standard feature.

Yes, this would be a huge win in my opinion. Does anyone know what other programs do this currently?

I'd like to import a hundred svg files into an Illustrator file right now. Yes, please add this feature in.

PLEASE put in this feature. It won't stop us from using Creative Cloud, because it's still useful for brushes, fonts, and colors. People are already working on their own apps just for this one feature. It's inevitable, and I don't want to switch from Illustrator to some other app just because you guys want to pinch a few pennies.

I would also appreciate this feature. Doing this manually will take too long.

I actually have the same need - I'm trying to create a source AI file for a bunch of svgs. It would be awesome to batch import svgs all to the same size artboard.
