Display resolution - custom field in Document Setup and the links panel.
Display resolution should be a custom field in Document Setup and the Links panel, and should set the default scaling of placed images in the document.
Right now, linked or embedded 'RasterItems' have a default scaling resolution of 72ppi, and you can't change it. But 72ppi is an anachronism, it doesn't reflect most use cases.
The impact is that placed images appear in the document much too large, and it wastes a lot of extra clicks to resize placed images. That could all be avoided if there was a simple way to change the default display resolution to match the…

Select "Replace" by default once a clipped linked element is selected
This is a very simple fix for something extremely frustrating: once a clipped linked image is selected (using the direct selection tool), the importing option should be to Replace the element by default (instead of having to manually select it EVERY SINGLE TIME). If nothing is selected, the logical default behavior then would have the Replace option unchecked.

Change paths to links when a project is duplicated
When I duplicate files with their respective links in a new folder, in order to produce a new art in the same format as the first. Illustrator does not change the link address, when I click on "Edit Original" it opens the link of the first folder, if we are not aware, we end up editing the link of the wrong folder.

As a user, I want to be informed when I am importing a 16-bit image that they are not supported and need to be converted to 8-bit
Since AI devs don't seem keen to add 16-bit functionality to AI, at the very least, support your users by informing them that they are importing something that AI cannot display correctly.

Sort content in links palette + User controlled preflight warnings
Added sorting ability in links palette would be very useful.
Allowing me to sort by file size, alpha, date placed, date altered. Similar to finder or windows explorer. Allowing me to rearrange the columns to suit my needs.A preflight indicator of any potential conflicts would be a nice add as well.
CMYK doc with an RGB image placed. Unused nodes swatches, does this doc contain any overprint items, that kind of thing. In a perfect world I could set in prefs what I want warnings for.2 votes -

Integrate with AEM to enable linking assets without having to work with them locally
By using Adobe Experience Manager as a DAM and having to work locally with links in Illustrator the user experience is awful. We need to download the folder from the DAM and then work on the file and links knowing that the next person to work on that will need to to the same, it's very time consuming for our team

Image overlay
It would be nice if there were options to create an image overlay and retain the image's saturation like in photoshop. The current methods I use desaturate the photos in my email and website headers.

Allow appearances to apply to linked files
Linked documents (i.e. other .ai files) can't have their appearance modified.
I.e. if I have a vector design.ai, I can place it in another .ai document however no stroke or fill options actually apply to the file.
This makes scenarios where you have to invert the vector design.ai difficult without custom SVG filters to help try influence the linked document.

It would be possible that within Adobe Illustrator you could configure web links associating them with certain areas of the screen, with cer
I edit assignments, quizzes and exams, with musical scores in Illustrator, and add YouTube link symbols to them. For these links to work I have to open the PDF in Acrobat and insert the web links there. But if I later want to edit some text, object, or image and I open it in Illustrator, I lose all the links configuration.

Recognize the Develop settings applied in Camera Raw
When I drag a jpg image from Bridge to Illustrator, I would like for Illustrator to recognize the Develop settings that I applied in Camera Raw without first saving the image as a separate file.
Later changes to the Develop settings would then prompt an update in Illustrator like it does currently when a file is changed.1 vote -

Unembed JPEGs & PNGs
Please return the feature from the older versions that lets you unembed JPEGs & PNGs. I hate that it's only possible to do with TIFFs and PSDs now. It's such a pain when you're trying to reduce the file size.
