1. 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.

2. export past 2400 pixels

   print on demand vendors take files up to and beyond 6500 pixels, for blankets and curtains and such. illustrator isn't just for web/mobile devices.

3. Update links manually

   Illustrator is constantly reading linked files, checking for changes. This is normally not a problem, but when the network is slow for any reason (like if you're working remotely over VPN) AI becomes unusable. Simple text changes become an ordeal as every time you switch tools or click anywhere, you have to wait for a minute or two as the links do... whatever they're doing. A simple panel-level option to turn off automatic link updates would make working remotely (which some say is the way of the future) much less painful.

4. Remember last used SVG / SVGZ save and export settings (Responsive and others)

   We often need SVG and SVGZ that are NOT responsive to the web area (we need to control the viewable font size for psychometrics purposes).

   Illustrator default switches to Responsive being checked after every Illustrator restart. It would be great if every time I restart Illustrator the check box for "Responsive" remembered that I want it UNchecked (our workaround is to create a new SVGZ file immediately after every restart and uncheck the Responsive box, and if we don't remember to do that task our work must be tediously re-exported).

5. New Document dialog should not be so slow to appear or react to input

   Creating a new doc via the keyboard is so slow that several other commands can unwittingly be executed before the dialog/settings panel appears. The fact that this clunky panel was introduced relatively recently as a "feature" is even more irritating.

   Alternately provide an option to create a new document from default or current settings so that I can adjust it later when I need to.

6. 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.

7. 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. Version History - a couple feature requests

   I sorta like the new version history option. It's at least kinda a step towards the history panel so many people want. There are a couple of features that I think would improve it. (If these already exist and I'm missing them can you teach me where they are?)

   My first request is adding an option to save at anytime you choose. This only saves every 5 minutes. Say I make a bunch of changes in only 3 minutes. I'd then have to wait 2 minutes for it to create a save point before I could choose to revert to a previous version. I have noticed that if you choose to revert before it's saved your most recent change it will still create a current timestamp however it takes even longer to revert back to it. For example (sorry this will probably be confusing): Say I have two previous versions. One at 7:00 PM and another at 7:05 PM. I decide to do a few quick color changes and move some things around. It's now 7:08 PM. I can't go back and compare the 7:05 PM version or choose to save my current state so I can immediatly return to it. I can choose to go back to the 7:00 PM version. That's not helpful if I made changes between that and the timestamp I really want to return to. If I revert to the 7:00 PM time my 7:08 PM version is technically saved. At least a timestamp is added for it. However I've noticed it then takes 10 minutes before I return to it. It would make things a little smoother.

   My other request would be a quicker way to save or export a version as a separate file. Currently you can just revert to a version and then choose to save as and create a new file. It's not really that hard or slow but still. It would be nice to have the option right there on the panel. It could be added to the "•••" next to the timestamp. Like this:

   6:00 PM ••• Name this version
   Revert to this version
   ⇨ Save this version ⇦

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. 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.

12. Smart objects (opened from Photoshop) should have the same name as their Photoshop layer

    I'm working on a complicated digital twinning pipeline which involves a lot of nested smart objects within Photoshop files.

    Oftentimes these smart objects are merely white text and it's difficult to distinguish between them when several are open at the same time.

    The problem is compounded because illustrator simply refers to each object that I open as "Vector smart object". Having several open at the same time quickly becomes difficult to manage. I believe, too, that Photoshop is sometimes unable to launch a particular smart object in illustrator because of a clashing "Vector smart object" 'file name' instance.

    It would help greatly if the Smart Object's filename - when opened in illustrator - mirrored the Photoshop layer name from which it was launched.

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.

15. Select All Unused Key Command

    Hello,

    It would be very useful if custom key commands could be applied to palette commands. Specifically, I would love to create a key command for "Select All Unused" in the swatches palette drop-down menu. It currently requires a click in the palette, scroll down to select the command, clicking the garbage can in the palette then clicking (or enter/return) to confirm that you want to delete unused swatches. Some days I convert hundreds of files swatches from Pantone to CMYK then to RGB. A key command would speed this up dramatically!

    Thank you!
    User since Illustrator 88!

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. Easier access to Tools

    Please rework the tools palette. Some ideas:

    1. make it easy to use the full height of the monitor to show more tools

    2. make it possible to select / activate tools directly through the All Tools overview, even when they are already loaded in the tools palette. It's inconvenient and annoying to watch an icon blink and then have to go into that to select a hidden tool.

    3. make it possible to drag tools from All Tools that are already in the tools palette. Dragging should result in the desired tool on the desired spot, and remove it from the other position.

    4. add Search to All Tools

    5. add a favorites / recent used Tools section. Just like in the Swatches palette.

    6. make it easy to switch to the previous tool with a key (see how Cinema4d utilizes that technique)
