Make dimming of a template layer work also for vector images, not only rasters
Illustrator 26.0.1
macOS Big SUR 11.6.1
If I make a new template in the layers panel and try to dim images to a lower opacity — it remains at the same opacity.1 vote -
An image or shape splitter that randomly generates splits in an image based upon user-set ranges
Currently, mosaics are somewhat difficult to make (I am new so I don't know everything, therefore I have some issues with this) I am looking for a function that allows the splitting of images, shapes, or shape groups, through a menu that you place ranges upon (i.e. amount of resulting shapes, how many sides per shape as a range between two numbers, etc.)
The ability to select shapes in an image by area and color to then split them randomly while still keeping original outline form would be also appreciated, along with averaging color values if you choose to split an area with two or more different colors at the same time. (If this sounds confusing I completely understand). What I mean is if you select an image by area only to then split, the shapes formed after splitting can have their color values averaged in relation to the colors of the referenced image in that area where the shape is located, if you so choose.
This function could either act as a mask or a change to the imbedded image or shape group
Most of this may already be a thing in Illustrator, but the random generation of shapes from an image or shape is a completely new idea (I think), an would be a great addition to your application. Maybe you could call it "Auto Mosaic from Image/Shape".

Just fix the issues
My app is laggy at times , when I erase a stroke , the precious stroke sometimes stays . When I go layer to layer to layer it’ll stay frozen on the previous layers actions .

Diacritic Positioning
To add Diacritic Positioning Rules preset options (similar to InDesign) in the Middle Eastern features.
It'd be handy when dealing with Arabic fonts that have their diacritics off, especially when dealing with paragraphs, instead of doing it manually.

Scale Calligraphic Brush - create new brush option
If you scale a path item with 10 pt stroke at 200%, you will get a path item with a 20 pt stroke. Note, the "Scale Strokes & Effects" option is enabled.
However, if a calligraphic 3 pt brush is scaled 200% (with a default stroke weight of 1pt and "Scale Strokes & Effects" enabled) the result will produce a calligraphic 3 pt brush with a 2pt stroke. Visually the brush stroke will appear bigger but the path item is still connected to the 3 pt brush.
Can we add a feature that will create a new brush based on the scale function? In the example provided above, the result will produce a path item with a 2 pt stroke and it will be connected to a new brush based on the previous brush but the size will be 6 pt.

ArcGIS plugin for 2021 and 2022 (Macs)
Adobe CC doesn't allow installing Illustrator versions prior to 25.4 and this plugin requires 24.0 to run. Latest update removed my prior version and I can't recover it. This plugin is critical for my day to day work. Please upgrade the plugin on Macs as soon as possible! Thank you.

Different Stroke weight in every point node
I'm trying to make a typeface in illustrator, but it's so hard when i have to apply multiple different weight in one stroke (especially with serif typeface). So i have manually expand the stroke and edit it manually, and the result is not tidy or clean enough.
I know there is width tool to edit stroke weight, but it behave more like a brush, it will get messy if i want to change stroke weight and not having consistent shape if i cut some part of the alphabet to use it on another alphabet.
So i have an idea if we can edit stroke weight in every single point node so it can be more consistent (maybe it's similar to blend tools smoothness, but it's specific for stroke).

Ignore commas in graph data
I create regional reports with a lot of data visualization, so I copy and paste from excel and google sheets all the time. The amount of time I spend removing commas from each number over 999 while creating graphs is wild. I'm working on finding better workflows for this, but if you could just make commas invisible or intelligible to the data window in Illustrator, I would be so happy!

Cut-off of Effects like Drop Shadow etc
Working with Flexo plates, we need to cut-off vignettes at 3%, it would be great to have an 'Advanced' section on effects like Drop Shadow to cut off at a stated percentage. Currently have to work around by Expanding the effect, exporting an the image for Photoshop, using the Curves to cut-off of 3%, then relinking the image in Illustrator which also means having multiple files...

Layers and rotate to original gesture in touch mode
Layers would speed up to workflow when you don't have to switch workspaces so often.
Tap or rotate gesture for rotate to original view would also speed up the workflow.

Blending modes respecting self intersecting strokes
When drawing with a real marker, overlapping strokes are darker than single strokes.
I would like Illustrator to have the option to mimic this when using strokes in Multiply mode. It works with to separate paths, but not with self intersecting paths,Compare left and right in the image.

Airbrush features
It would really open up Illustrator to a brand new superior level for not just technical illustrator artists, but other artists that would like to see their drawings in a vectorize art form where they could really explore blending and shadings, instead of just typically relying on pixalated, or rasterized form to perfect their drawings. I fully believed in the potential power of vectorizes art being taking it to another level for artists that can draw freely with their hands. Illustrator’s appeal to hobbyists, Graffiti artist, Caricaturists, and other individual form of artist that specializes in different genres have been waiting for Adobe Illustrator to finally recognize and acknowledge their not-so technical skills and let them discover what they do with these superior app.

The Ability to Compound by Color
Take an object or line of text that has been converted to outlines, put an offset path on it, make that new outline a different color than the original object. Now the requested feature would be the ability to drag select the entire object and offset path, then select "Compound By Color" and it will make all colors selected into their own compound path.

Stop with the supersampling export artboard option!!!!!!
Seriously its becoming an irritating issue. Everytime when i want to export many artboard one short, i have to make sure i select supersampling....... otherwise it'll come out pixelated. I'm working in a fast pace environment and i can't keep double check on that option. why not just automatic just make sure the res at 72dpi come out the best appearance? Please fix this. Because if someone wants it to be lower appearance than hey, pls do click this more option. Really irritate me. Here is an image. Left, supersampling, right is not.
