1. Change the hierarchy of the preset tabs when setting up a document

   Would it not be a good idea to change the hierarchy of the presets when setting a new document? Currently, when you input Width and then tab to the next preset, it takes you to measurement units, then to Height. Surely it would be better to either have the measurements units choice before both the canvas dimensions, or after? That way you can input Width then tab straight to Height without looking at what you're doing. It causes problems if you forget that the current sequence is Width>Units>Height when you're inputting your details and only find out after you've input everything incorrectly and have to do it all over again. It seems like a simple fix for a far more efficient workflow.

2. Pushing Fresco projects to Illustrator retains the layers, but does not bring any of the color pallet.

   Illustrator should create a swatch for every color used in a Fresco project that is imported.

3. Numbered/Label elements in document

   Could we get the ability to populate the document/artboard with labels for each element? When working with clients remotely, it might be nice to be able to have the program populate labels for each element/solid/etc within the document/artboard, that way the artist and client can refer to each item vs talking about this leaf/note/cloud/etc . Specifically if there are multiples of the same shape within the document. Easier communication and presentation. Thanks!

6. Please print "User Guides" books again. You do not need to constantly update them:

   Physical "User Guide" books were far more quicker and easier to use to get answers to questions on how to use Adobe Illustrator. The book form could come out ever two years at most, including new updates, when it reaches a certain amount of pages, start a new volume. If you already have this online, or in a PDF format, please let me know where I can find it on your website and if you do have it online, does it have an "index" to look items up? Or just a search window? Thank you.

7. 「カンバスを左右／上下に反転」機能の追加も希望します。

   1.説明
   今回のベータ版ではビュー回転機能がつきとても嬉しいです。可能ならPhotoshop同様に「カンバスを左右／上下に反転」機能の追加も希望します。

   1. 機能のメリット 鉛筆ツールとペンタブレットでフリーハンドでベジェを描く際に反転機能があることで手首のスナップを活かしやすい向きで描画ができ、ストロークを活かしてより良いイラストが描けます。

8. I want simple features like "path-continuation" or a simple way to color shapes that were made by paths.

   Okay im super new to Illustrator and just got kind of used to Photoshop but now I try to make some stuff with Illustrator and run in constant issues.
   I actually spent more time looking up extremely basic things that should simply work but are hidden somewhere or not possible? in Illustrator than I got to work on the things I tried to make.
   For example I created a detailed image with thousands of paths, tried to fit it into After Effects for an animation just to find out its much to bright. I went back to Illustrator and found no option to make the paths darker or how to color individual shapes and not the whole image in one color! I searched online and found that there is no function to just select a bunch of shapes and turn them all down a few shades in one go. Each has his own shade of grey so it would be similar to Word when you select your whole text and click the little button to change the size of every letter no matter the individual sizedifferences.

   Im so ******* angry every time I use Illustrator ._.
   its the most frustrating piece of software I ever had to use!

9. flip artboard dimensions/orientation

   Many versions ago, there used to be a little arrow next to the artboard dimensions that would switch the width and height values. Meaning, if I had 8.5x11, I could hit the button to change the dimensions to 11x8.5. Where did it go?

   You can change an artboard’s orientation by clicking a corresponding album or portrait button in the Control panel. For some reason there is not one in Properties, so please add your votes if you want to have it there

12. Can you please add the Outline Stroke to the Right-Click menu?

    I love using illustrator and i use it a lot and while I'm working in it I've noticed I use the Object/Path/Outline Stroke command quite frequently, and it's rather time consuming to repeat these steps every time I need to outline a stroke. That being said I'd like to appeal to you that you'd consider adding the Outline Stroke option to the Right-Click mouse dropdown menu when a Stroke is selected. It would help a lot. Thanks!

14. Adaptive pressure variation for the Blob Brush

    I would love to define the size variation of the Blob brush with percent instead of pt.

    It´s pretty anoying when I´m painting with e.g. 6pt brush and a size variation by pen pressure of 3pt ( 50%) and after changing brushsize to 3pt the pressure variation stays at 3pt. So i have to manualy adjust it to 1 or 2 pt.

    It would be great to give it a percentage so I could define it maby with 60% to have the same feeling how the pen pressure effects the brush size when scaling the brush up and down (there should be shortcuts for scaling the brush!).

15. Preference setting for a common "root" folder for add-on files

    It would be great if the Illustrator Preferences had a way to specify a central root folder for the location of (and default save location) for add-ons, such as Brushes, Graphic styles, Swatches Templates, and others. (Similar to the existing "Additional Plug-ins Folder" setting).

    Illustrator currently seems to have very scatterbrained way of handling files, which I am sure there is some history or reason for, depending on the team that happened to develop that section of code.

    Examples:

    If you save Brush, Symbol, Graphic Styles, ..., libraries, when it defaults to want to save under a long winding path, that at least is in a user-area.
    Such as "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 25 Settings\en_US\x64\Symbols".
    I blame Microsoft for the dumb Appdata location, but the path is in an area no sensible person would ever save anything. Plus, it is on the system/boot drive, where I usually do not save data. And finding the path if you want to put a brush library there is under the "hunt and peck" method.. (Hmm, is it Roaming, Local, or LocalLow I should go to.)

    Interestingly enough, if you try opening such libraries (Open [type] Library -> Other library", then suddenly it defaults to a path under the "\Program Files" install area, like "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2021\Presets\en_US[type of library]" Now a completely different location (where Illustrators own predefined Presets were installed).
    As if any added brush/symbol/styles libraries should ever be added there, since Program Files is usually a protected area that requires admin rights to write to.

    To be extra funny, if you use "Save as Template" or "New from Template", then magically it defaults to want to save or open templates from an even more goofy path

    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2021\Cool Extras\en_US\Templates".. ("Cool Extras" my foot. :-) )

    Things such as Actions, have no default. Both Load and Save actions dumps you to a default of "This PC", on Windows.

    First problem with all these paths are that they are either program version (year) specific, or version specific (like the Appdata "Illustrator Settings 20xx" paths).
    Second problem, that some are in user areas, some are in program/system areas.
    Third problem, that it makes it very difficult to remember where everything should be put, if you create or buy a new item. Unless you want to keep hunting for Illustrator's preferred location.

    So, hence the wish for a way to define a common root-folder Preference setting, where all Illustrator add-ons should be default saved, default opened.

    Personally, I currently resort to creating Shortcuts in all these locations, pointing to where I really keep my brushes/swatches/templates/...
    Like "Local Templates" and "Local Brushes" shortcuts (symbolic links) that in one extra click can send me where I really keep all my stuff.

    Under my personal resource space I then have a root folder for Illustrator (Illustrator-Adds), which has subdirectories for each type. See attached.

    One problem with this scheme is, that when a new Illustrator version comes out (year number or major version number), then I have to go through all the locations and create new shortcuts again, since in the Adobe install scheme, suddenly all the default paths (using year or major version number (23, 24, 25) in the path) have magically changed again.

    It would be great if the Illustrator Preferences had a way to specify a central root folder for the location of (and default save location) for add-ons, such as Brushes, Graphic styles, Swatches Templates, and others. (Similar to the existing "Additional Plug-ins Folder" setting).

16. Recently Added Items

    Hi. My name is Reza Alavi, Design Manager in XBOX design studio Microsoft. We use Adobe Illustrator as our base software for illustration and we recently started using the cloud library which is really great. However we have a suggestion to add a feature that might help us a lot. It would be awesome to have a view of libraries of "recently added items"

    Right now there is a filter for "date modified" but it's not clear what items were added/modified, just a resorting of the library lists.

    This would help us to know what new items are added recently as we are growing the library and we can have that list in our weekly newsletter to announce it to the larger team. Thank you very much

17. Enable tool palettes to ‘Show Options’ by default as a Preferences setting (all CC apps)

    I am posting this under Illustrator but it applies to many (most?) Creative Cloud apps.

    Many (most?) tool palettes only show a subset of their options by default. To see all options one has to choose the palette's popup menu and click ‘Show Options’.

    When working on a smallish screen (as I generally do on my laptop) it makes sense to frequently put palettes away, so this is incredibly annoying because the choice doesn't persist.

    When a palette has been closed or minimised, one has to do this every time one wants to access an option input that Adobe has decided is of secondary importance.

    There should be a Preferences option to disable this or make ‘Show Options’ the persistent default.

18. プリント画面表示時にそのバックの作業画面のスクロールを可能にして欲しい

    デザイン画面をプリントアウトする印刷物を作成するデザイナーのほとんどは、広い作業画面の分割プリント指示を使って複数のラフをプリントします。そのときどのページをプリント指示する場合、作業画面に表示される分割プリントの番号をプリント画面で入力します。ところがプリント画面が表示されている状態では作業画面をスクロールすることが出来ません。その結果、ページ番号をメモしたり覚えたりしてその数字をプリントタイル範囲に入力しなければなりません。かつてのかなり古いバージョンではスクロール出来た時もありましたがいつの間にかその機能はなくなってしまいました。プリント画面でバックの作業画面をスクロールできると、プリント指示の効率が非常にあがります。ぜひ復活をお願いいたします。

19. Send crash reports to plugin developers.

    Today I was exploring a plugin. It is a very nice plugin that does some very powerful things but it is also a little fragile, and it crashed a lot while I was using it. I quickly learnt to save a lot while working with this plugin.

    And the crash report dialogue kept on piling up. But I knew it would be useless as this was very likely to be due to something I was doing to make the plugin break, rather than Illustrator break. What're AI's developers gonna do with this crash log? Nothing. It's useless to you.

    I was not able to create a reliable crash reproduction to send to the developer, either. So I'm left knowing that this very useful plugin is also kind of unstable, with no way to really help make it more stable.

    What I would like to see is some way to say "hey this crash totally happened while I was using this plugin, can you please forward this crash log to its developer?".

    Ideally there would be a dropdown somewhere in the crash report dialogue that listed all my installed plugins. And somewhere in the system that receives these crash reports, there would be a way for this crash log to make its way to the developer - I figure maybe part of setting up a plugin could involve giving an email for these to go to? I dunno the details of your crash report ecosystem, you guys can chat with a few plugin developers and see what would work best for everyone.

20. Right click object to hide that layer/object without opening the Layers panel

    Is it possible to create a function with right click object to hide that object or layer? Instead of select object and then hide it in the Layers panel? For some reason I always try to do that though that function doesn't exist.
