2. Multiple recover file management

   AI feature that allows to save multiple recover files separately.
   (The user decides how many copies of recovery to have, could be a single one or many).
   for example, in case I want three copies of recovery that saves separately every X minutes.
   recover1 saves every 30 minutes
   recover2 saves every 10 minutes
   recover3 saves every 2 minutes
   This would help to recover previous versions of the same file.

   Additonally an option to save backups:
   Save a copy every X minutes.
   For example: Save a copy every 60 minutes.
   This is not a recovery file, but a copy that is saved for the file, it does not changes after saved.

   Also, AI should make recover files more accessible, it is hard to find the folder that contains it.
   Allow the user to chose the path of the recovery folder. (Where the recover files are stored).
   (Same thing for backups)

   This would reduce the chances of a major bug crash that might keep the recovery file crashing. (If this happens the user would have additional previous versions of the file to chose).

3. Stop the over Writing of SVG vs Illistrator File saves

   I work with a laser cutter which uses SVG files. Whenever I SaveAs "svg" the file/program I'm working on now turns into said svg save.

   Id like it to stay as it's Illustrator file self so once I'm done making edits I can just save as normal. Currently when ever I save as an SVG I have to go Save As again and overwrite/replace the Illustrator file I'm working on. I've ran into issues before where if I do this too many times it sort of corrupts the ability to save as a SVGs.

   Would like the feature where in Photoshop, if you save as a jpg the file you're working on stays as a Photoshop file, it doesn't magically turn into you working on a jpg.

   I hope that makes sense. If i want to work on the svg file I'll open it separately later, I would just like the program to stay as is and not convert.

9. SVG Import Notification and/or debug log

   Short back story: My company is an online supplier of custom printed products. Customers design their order on our website which we translate into an SVG file. Our production team imports that SVG file into AI for final processing of the customers order.

   When importing SVG files to AI sometimes entire parts of the design are not imported without any notification or log of the event.

   For example, when our production team imports SVGs where the text contains an emoji we sometimes (maybe always?) find that the entire text block is no longer included in the design. This is not obvious and it requires going back and comparing the import to the original JPG rendering to notice a difference.

   Much more transparency from Adobe on how SVG importing works in general would be greatly appreciated. Right now it's incredibly painful to debug import issues.

   Thanks!
   Brent

11. SVG exporting of path points

    Illustrator SVG asset exporter doesn't export single-point paths.
    My work system reads SVG files' layer and object names as IDs. In these files, I create a single point with the pen tool to use the x,y values as coordinate data. (This object is graphically a Path with a single anchor point.) I'll also create paths with 2 or more points in these files. When I export these objects using the asset exporter, the paths with a single point doesn't get exported, while paths with 2 or more points export successfully. When using SaveAs>SVG it does export the paths with a single point but it is created as the larger bloated SVG file variant (sorry, I don't know the SVG variant types to properly refer them here).

    Steps to repro:
    1) New file
    2) Create a point with the pen tool
    3) Rename that object as "SinglePointTest"
    4) Create a path with 2 points with the pen tool
    5) Rename that object as "TwoPointTest"
    6) Open Asset Exporter
    7) Select both objects and 'generate a single asset from selection' (plus sign icon)
    8) Launch Export for Screen Dialog (icon next to the export button)
    9) Click on the Settings icon (gear icon) aka Advance settings for exported file types
    10) For the SVG format settings, set the following:
    Styling: Internal CSS
    Font: SVG
    Images: Preserve
    Object ID: Layer Names
    Decimal: 5
    Uncheck Minify
    Check Responsive

    Save Settings
    11) Add 'SVG' as a format>Select Asset>Export Asset Button
    12) View the SVG code in the exported file and check for both objects: "TwoPointTest" and "SinglePointTest"
    Result: "SinglePointTest" object is missing
    Expected Result: Both objects are present in the SVG code.

    I tried the same above test but using Save As>SVG and it includes both objects but in a bloated SVG code file. For my work purposes, it must be in the simpler SVG code variant and I must use the Asset Exporter since I routinely batch export multiple assets at a time.

    Bonus information:
    This all worked in the 2017 version of Illustrator (v 21.1.0) but not in any of the releases following that. Fast foward to present day, I'm needing to use the newest version of Illustrator (2020, v 25.0) and am finally tapping into these forums/support to sort this out.

12. Add a "Ctrl +E" to illustrator for quick export

    InDesign has a "Ctrl+ E" for quick export instead of going down the menu bar and selecting it. Can illustrator put in a "Ctrl + E" for export. this is a annoyance since I'm exporting to jpg and tif formats all of the time from Illustrator for photoshop image adjustment

    Can we have a PNG export tool similar to the one in desktop AI? I use it a lot for proofing, web stores etc... color depth, pixel dimensions and transparency?

15. SVG Import image X and Y positions are multiplied by 2

    If you open this SVG in Chrome, FF, Inkscape, etc, the rectangle and the 120.png image should be stacked on top of each other. However, in Illustrator CC (As of 09-23-2020) the image appears at 240x240 for the X/Y position instead of the defined 120x120. Appears to be this way only with the image tag. If you were to do a transformation matrix, it fixes the problem but still it should be imported properly into Illustrator.

16. Replace file with same name!

    Exporting png or other format, save with exact name, select "replace file", does not replace file but makes NEW file with "artboard" or other additional text. PLEASE when we select "replace", REPLACE the same file with the same name. Have to manually rename over 20 files. We have files that are linked in Indesign and this causes lots of extra time and effort every time there is an edit. Clients have to pay more for extra time, something that should be simple causes a large ripple effect when every other application renames replacement files correctly. PLEASE FIX THIS.

18. Allow us to control the saving of cached copies of raster effects.

    I use a lot of raster effects in my work. A lot. I can easily have several thousand paths with effects on them. (Mostly Gaussian Blur, thanks for speeding that one up a few versions ago!)

    Some experimentation with saving multiple copies of an effect-heavy file with different raster effects resolutions confirmed my suspicion that the file size varies greatly with the effect PPI:

    300ppi: 70.8MB
    150ppi: 28.8MB
    72ppi: 14.4MB
    2ppi: 5.4MB

    Reloading the 300ppi copy made it obvious that there's a cache of raster effects in the file, as I didn't have to wait through a half a minute of progress bars while AI rendered a few thousand gaussian blurs like I did a little earlier when I bumped the resolution up.

    I would love to be able to reclaim a ton of disc space by saving my files without all these images. I am perfectly happy to accept the tradeoff of it taking a moment to render them all when I load in a file.

    I envision another checkbox in the Save dialogue, probably right under the 'PDF compatibility' checkbox. "Include raster effect cache"? Defaults to on for new documents, will come up as off if I do a Save As on a file that I've already saved with it off, just like all the other checkboxes in there.

19. Convert Psd to Illustrator Layer Fix

    The issue. Photoshop not converting files for illustrator correctly.
    excuses from locals: It works on in vectors... the arguing point to this... its art... and photoshop is being called a basic thing
    If subject A is photoshop and Subject B is our layers. We have effects and other such various components such as shadows and shading. We are trying to bridge this over to Illustrator.
    The way to accomplish this is each layer to be converted to png in a stack order atleast for a quick fix. So that way no programing and changes. The format would then work as a png which is a stable file. A opacity change could follow as a modification to the subject files.
    As this converts this allow for ourward tracing.
    Time is money and by doing this and accomplishing it you would literally mainstream photoshop back as php and ui/ux and converting it to illustrator and then to xd. Just would make things better. Why build more tolls when you're trying to maximize profits? kills two birds with one stone... I pay more for all three programs... you win... I get to vector my art and work with the speed of massive amount of premade content in photoshop.
    Please for all the things of Jesus and the lambs give this a try.

20. Copying a layer in a multi-layer file does not put anything on the clipboard for SVG

    Select the top layer in a multi-layer file
    Copy it to the clipboard
    Use a clipboard viewer to display the "Scalable Vector Graphics" format

    Expected Result: Well-formed SVG content to be on the clipboard.
    Actual Result: The clipboard has no data for the format, even thought it advertises it as being available.

    I am a Microsoft engineer reporting this on behalf of a customer who is attempting to paste a layer from Illustrator into PowerPoint as SVG.
