1. Support SVG property 'paint-order'

   Add support for the paint-order property. By default the fill is painted and then the stroke is placed on top. The paint-order property allows this order to be defined so the stroke can be placed under the fill. Without support for this a svg can look very different than the imported version in illustrator.

   The file attached is an example of the property in use.

   Example:
   https://mdn.mozillademos.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/paint-order$samples/Examples?revision=1530134

   See the following resources:

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.

4. Disappering file info

   When exporting document from Illustrator by ”Save for Web (legacy)...” File info just disappear from final document. That is quite annoying because I'll have to fill all fields once again.

5. Export selected only

   Would like to see an "EXPORT SELECTED ONLY" option, so that you can export just a selection of items from a file with many elements. Really a pain to have to copy the items I want to export, and paste them into a new file in order to export them.

   There is File > Export Selection command in Illustrator now, that adds a selection as an asset into Asset Export panel and opens Export for Screens dialog immediately.

6. Color Picker digits round up

   Hi, I like Illustrator for many reasons, but I find one little thing is annoying. So often I need to prepare the design files for my printer. And because the color picker doesn't have the feature of auto rounding up the digits, the color I used always has decimals, instead of a rounded up number in CMYK mode. It is not easy for the printer to process these color data. I have to round up each color manually, which is time-consuming and I might miss some elements. So is it possible to have the color picker have an option of rounding up digital for the color it picked up? And in the Appearance panel, the color digits are always not the same as the color picker panels show, which has the decimal digits.

   AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   It’s a common behavior for all files and all editors out there, not only Illustrator.

   When you 'open' a file, the editor reads it and 'hold in its mind', making a virtual copy basically. When you save it, it writes it back the disk, to the location where it was read from. Illustrator does not track what the OS does with the file, and OS never tells Illustrator that a user moved the file elsewhere, or deleted.

   An editor can lock the file, so nothing can move or delete or rename it, but this method causes more troubles and frustration. It’s safer to never let the data to get lost.

8. Open New File with Limited Color Palette

   Include an option in the New File dialogue box to open a file with only black and white color swatches. Currently, new files open with a large palette of useless color swatches, and it's a time waster to have to delete all those colors each time to have a clean and functional palette.

   You can set your own document profiles that have only what you need.
   Trash all swatches, styles, brushes and resave this new document as a default profile (in a separate folder first), add your own, and then copy the file over existing one (or add a new). Access the folder by clicking Browse option in Profile dropdown in the extended New Document dialog window.
   Just remember to backup these files, because Ai overwrites defaults each update!

9. Dragging from Bridge to Illustrator

   Change the standard file-placement behaviour from Bridge to Illustrator so that it places the contents of the AI file (rather than a PDF or a PNG).

   Say you've got a local library of picture elements, and you're browsing it in Bridge; you need to bring those elements into a currently open AI file. What do you do?

   The obvious thing is to use Bridge like a library navigator, and simply drag the ai file into your composition. However, you can't;What actually happens is you get a PNG file; if you shift-drag you get a PDF file; both are useless.

   And if you go online, some smart person will tell you to use symbols libraries, which isn't a huge help.

   It would be even better if you could view it directly in the library panel in Illustrator. That would mean syncing your local library directory (and CC files) with CC Libraries.

10. Render performance problem with missing links

    If you have a document with missing links then Illustrator show proxy images instead of originals. But when I want to work similar files then display performance is bad. Pan, zoom very very slow.

    I am working with Macbook Pro M1 Pro, Adobe Illustrator Version 27, 28 or 29. View using CPU or GPU same results.

11. Removal of Save File Prompt After Changing to Outline View (CMD + Y or CTRL + Y)

    For as long as I can remember - when using Illustrator I've been prompted to save a file (prompted by an * asterisk) after simply changing the file preview to Outline View using cmd or ctrl + Y. Why is it that Illustrator still senses this as a file state change? I'd recommend removing the save prompt if I've otherwise not changed anything else about my Illustrator file other then quickly changing the view.

12. Make raster brushes in Ai work as brushes in Photoshop and Affinity Designer do

    I think you should change the brush type and make it as same as the Photoshop, as the brush of Photoshop is much convinient.
    Like we can use a soft brush or we can lower the opacity of the brush easily and same with the eraser tool.
    Now, Photoshop is raster based software whereas Illustrator is a vector based which is the positive point a for Illustrator.
    File made in Illustrator is much more useful and file made in Photoshop is much more on the attractive side.
    So we need Illustrator to be easy and convenient to use.
    Or else make a new software which will be the combination of both Illustrator as well as Photoshop.

13. Allow us to choose a preferable file format on Export or keep the last chosen one

    Please create a hotkey for the "Export as" function. It would also be nice if I could set AI to always remember my preferred filetype instead of always defaulting to png.

14. spark icons in illustrator

    With the icons in Adobe Spark being free to use, and especially now that we have the ability to save files from Spark as a PDF, I've found myself utilizing the iconset from Spark in Illustrator (across Adobe CC really) by creating a blank document, inserting icons, saving as PDF, opening in Illustrator.

    It would be awesome if this process could be streamlined with the icons from Spark possibly being added to Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. Possibly from an addon, or by adding a new live and constantly updated set of symbols similar to how Adobe Fonts has been incorporated into the CC suite.

16. SVG option to convert text to outlines when exporting

    When exporting SVG I have ran into wonkyness with fonts so sometimes we export SVG graphics with text as shapes...

    But then I some times get distracted by a email or chat message and save the ai version with out undoing my text to outlines conversion...

    Why not just have a check box on the SVG export panel "convert all text to shapes" then when I export this option parse the document and convert all text to shapes...

    So I do not have to worry about undoing my convert text to shapes when I save the master ai file.

17. 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.

19. Export for Screens: Option to include file- and artboard-name automatically.

    Ok the "Export for Screen" option is kind of nice, however it takes far too long to set everything up....

    1. The areas to type in are far too small.
    2. Automation is week a. where can define that all images will get the file name of the original *.AI file. b. why does it keep the old folder location? Set an option to export is where the original *.AI-file is located. c. Where are some presets? Wouldn't it be awesome to have some user-defined presets? It would be.
    3. The images are to small
    4. There are to many clicks, like when I want to change the transparency of an *.png-file: 1st click -> seetings 2nd-click -> choosing png 3rd-click -> Background color 4th-click -> Transparent 5th-click -> Save Settings That are 4 clicks too much.
    5. How do I export one png-version as transparent and one with white background?

    Contact me if you like.

20. selective display of graphic elements

    When working with large files for large prints, we often run with slow-down issues due to having many vectorized images and transparency modes. Normally one knows who is the culprit and it would be nice to be able to select some sort of 'low-res' representation of the heavy graphics so it does not slow down the machine so much.
