1. Increase save dialog text width for long filenames (Mac OS)

   Discussed this with Default Folder developers that Mac OS system dialog box's text width cannot be modified.

   Instead, can Adobe improve the save dialog to allow a wider responsive text box for saving filenames.

   Currently, filenames only allow 30 characters before it is hidden by the system's box size.

   Example filename structure:
   - Project Name + Title + 2020-06-20 File State.ext

   Sample name:
   - Adobe Feature Request 2020-06-20 IN PROGRESS.ai
   - Adobe Feature Request 2020-06-20 COMPLETE.ai

2. Ability to sort the font list(s) in Find Fonts dialog box

   It would be helpful if the fonts in the Find Fonts dialog box could be sorted alphabetically. In my case, I am trying to consolidate all the various helvetica fonts that are being used in a large document to one foundry. As it is, they are all over the place, I think sorted by first use? but it would be helfpuf if I could sort by name, that way all my helveticas will be close to each other. Regardless, if the could be sorted that would be handy.

3. Add "don't show again" option to error dialog for hidden and locked objects when moving or copying artboard

   I am now noticing a error dialog appearing when I try to move or copy an artboard when any layer in the document is hidden or locked that says "Any hidden or locked objects in the artboards will not be moved." This is also appearing if I have any elements locked or hidden even when those objects are not on the artboard I am interacting with.

   Normally this would be fine, but when the artboard contains only unlocked and visible elements on unlocked and visible layers I am still seeing the error popping every time I move or copy an artboard. I really just want to be able to check "don't show this error again" on the window. Otherwise when breaking a design apart into multiple artboards for exporting elements, I have to clear this error many times.

4. Bring back right-click Opacity Mask

   Remember when you could right click and select 'Opacity Mask'?

   Yeah, those were the days. The process is twice as long now unless you have the 'transparency' window as a permanent fixture in your workspace.

5. fix the Layers palette; modernize it.

   The layers Palette in Illustrator Predates most Design apps out there. Because of that, many of its behaviors are critically out dated and in great need of a top - bottom update.

   some critical things to fix:
   1. Selection tracking should be unified. Selecting in the Layers palette should ALSO select the elements in the document. Throw away the confusing 2nd step there.

   1. naming. make it more flexible. IE: add built in options for the renaming that occurs when you copy a Layer. Add the ability to rename selected layers with one text entry. Add to that, a simple Scripting system that allows a search and replace, append/prepend command. You could invoke that when multiple layers are selected and then double clicked in the layer palette.

   2. stop blocking the user from performing actions on layers that are hidden. We're not stupid, and YES, we want to do that.

6. Same Place shortcut key as in After Effects

   Why not use the same shortcut key as After Effects for 'placing' images i.e.. Apple or CTRL 'i'. Using the 'Shift' CTRL P is awkward. Photoshop should also have the same shortcut key. Different shortcuts for different Adobe programs slow downs users.

7. Shut the blue survey pop up!

   We paid so much for monthly subscription, and this is what we get? I searched all over the web, and there's no way to shut this thing off? Are you kidding me? The adobe softwares are getting more ******. What are the engineers doing anyway? CS6 works a hundred times better than this.

8. Add scale and mirror to Transform window

   In the Transform window (Windows > Transform), I see rotate and shear, but not scale or mirror. I want those for several reasons:

   — I want a single place for doing all transform operations, without having to go to the menu
   — I don't want to have to remember different key codes for scale, rotate, mirror, etc
   — I want to be able to percentage scale from the bottom right corner (for example), using the 9-square selector

9. Gray hash marks and numbers against a black background for rulers

   Gray hashmarks against a black ruler may be fashionable, but they are hard to see when aligning text and objects, or even measuring objects. How about a white ruler with black hashmarks, and a black curser?

10. improve the 'this file is currently being saved' pop up window

    The way this was implemented is stupid.
    That pop up window you get when you try to close the window while it's still saving.

    Why doesn't it automatically go away when the file has finished saving, instead of being persistent for no reason.

    Just make it work the same way as indesign with just a cancel button.

12. Allow Panels to have user-defined background colors

    For all adobe products: there are many many panels all the same gray color background. If the panels had colors, one could work faster. I could always use blue as my Type-panel background for all my adobe applications. When I need to work with type, I could find the type panel more quickly if it was blue instead of one of the 10 gray panels on the monitor.

    Would let designers work faster and more efficiently (time is money)

13. Guide Colors to match Layer Colors

    Guides are already assigned to different layers. When a layer is locked, that guide is locked, even if you "Unlock Guides".

    It would make a lot of sense, and be very helpful, if guides were the same color as the layer they are attached to.

    I run into many instances when guides are very close to each other and I'm not sure which guide I should be trying to align to, so I have to take the time to figure it out. It gets frustrating quickly, especially when trying to edit multiple layers together. If guides were the same color as the layer they are placed on then that confusion would not be there and time would be saved.

    Thanks!

14. Command Line

    As a frequent user of a diversity of software (like AutoCAD, SketchUp and so on), I noticed that Illustrator is very time demanding and the workflow isn't great. Sometimes to do a simple command I need to click 4 times throughout menus and windows (actually I already have tendinitis because of the need to keep repeating a lot of clicks to do a simple command in IL, as other software I don't have the same problem).
    So a command line (a simple and smart one like AutoCAD) will be great and will improve the time to create stuff in illustrator. So an option to input commands directly instead of clicking throughout menus and windows and panels will have great bonuses to the software.
    Of course, it can be just an option, not a mandatory way to use illustrator, and also can be implemented in PS and ID.

16. Fix the new "new file" interface – remove misleading "Art & Illustration" tab

    I dislike the new "new file" interface. I chose to go back to Legacy and told other Graphic Designers to use legacy-new file also BECAUSE – the "Art & Illustration" tab is VERY MISLEADING. This is an RGB workspace, with low resolution. Yet, some people did not notice this and chose this instead of the "print" tab, as they should have. This can't be only our company that feels this is misleading to the artists. Just DELETE that tab. You already have Web, Mobile, that covers the RGB/low rez options.

    or RENAME that tab, if easier. Maybe “DRAWING for SCREEN” would be a better representation of what this new page would be for. (I would NOT call it “Screen Drawing” because some people could assume that is for when you are using a Wacom to draw in Illustrator.   trust me…I can picture this)

    Also, WHY are you hiding the Raster effects ppi default info inside "more settings"? This is pretty important info to a graphic designer.

    I attached directions I sent to my coworkers regarding this, so you can see issue.

    Also, FYI – the more you add to illustrator, the glitchier it gets. Stop. It doesn't need anything else.

17. Asset Export Alt-Drag

    Why did you guys require that the existing functionality of dragging a group into the asset export panel now requires the addition of "Alt" - now i have to "Alt-Drag" an item, otherwise the selection breaks apart into all the groups. "Alt-Drag" should have been the keystroke for breaking the asset into groups, leaving the regular drag and drop as is - as people have learned that method already.

    Were there user studies conducted that indicated that it was better to change the default behavior, and make the standard behavior do something different?

    I have to relearn a mental model because of this.

    I run the UX team for my large engineering organization, unless you have strong evidence to support changing preexisting UI conventions, I recommend you leave things as they are, and append new innovations to the the new keystroke
