Automatically fit windows to screen when unplugging second monitor.
When I'm using a second (big) monitor with my laptop, and I unplug the 2nd monitor, the Illustrator windows remain huge but move to my laptop screen, and it's difficult to resize the windows down to fit. They should automatically detect the screen size and fit accordingly.

Way to change "Custom" Document name
Would love to be able to change this "Custom" name to something more descriptive. I have a few piece of equipment that I would like to be able to select quickly. For now I have to go through the hassle of templates which works well but is several other clicks. Would be nice to have a way to quickly create documents for those specific equipment types with preconfigured settings.

Conditional appearance panel
It would be great if you could use some conditional logic together with appearance panel, and possibility to pick individual characters/words (first/middle/last 1, 2,...characters). And also possibility to combine several styles under one appearance, together with some input panel for user interaction). That would make it possibility to do more repeat things that you now need an action for but instead could use a style. Because actions I have tried tend to have a lot of errors to them, sooner or later. So maybe this could become a more stable option and I can see how this can make Illustrator…

Freezing
The image does not change. I go to a new tab with a different file and the same image is showing.
I go to use the Align tab and STILL showing the Layers tab. I have to completely quit illustrator. This has been happening since the update. This is costing me production time. I have to quit illustrator and reopen at least 10 times a day.2 votes -
In illustrator, you can't add a stroke to an image file. But when you click on an image, it shows the option to select a stroke colour/size

Please bring back the Center point as guide
In previous versions the Center point (attribute) kept showing when an object was made a Guide. But unfortunately, in Ai cc2019 this no longer happens.
That Center point is essential for working accurate.
Please bring it back.2 votes -
User folder for custom brushes and graphic styles
It would be great if there were a way to quickly save a selected custom brush and/or graphic style to a single user folder. This would make access easier, and enable better organization.

Copy and Paste mesh points into a mesh replacing selected points
I have to make changes to a series or envelope meshes the top section is the same and the bit I need to change so it would be nice to copy the points from one mesh into another by just overlaying the meshes and transferring the points from one to the other

Export PSD from Illustrator
Could you please help me to improve your product. I want to export PSD from Illustrator that can keep the shape and I can edit the color of this shape on photoshop. Now when I export PSD, all the shapes are rasterized. Because I usually design the website on illustrator. After that, I export to Photoshop. And I use this photoshop to upload to Invision. So that I need the shape is original.

Complaint
Illustrator 2019 23.0.1. sucks. I have been using adobe tools for over 20 years and this is the worst update you have ever released. Not only does it take forever to open any app including InDesign, PS, ILL and acrobat, but then it constantly freezes. I can't get any work done. You keep raising the price of the subscription, but your updates cost me more in time troubleshooting than anything else. The very basic grouping and selecting a group doesn't work in the new illustrator, I am using the most up to date OS on a 2 year old iMac.…

Set application default Type and Paragraph menu options
I have Middle East/English installed b/c occasionally I need to do a ME translation and it is pointless to have to uninstall/reinstall each time. I would like the ability to set the application default for the following so that when you set up a new document, it defaults to the things you wanted. You can currently do this with tools, but not with the actual menus.
Type Menu:
Font
Lanugage
DigitsParagraph Menu:
Alignment
Paragraph Direction
Composer type (e.g. Adobe Single Line composer)
Type directionYou can do this in InDesign but not in Illustrator. Not sure why, but it's…

Not signing in each time network connection changes
You know how when you switch your laptop from wired connection to wireless because as a normal human being with a laptop on the go, you will come across that. It would be great if you didn't have to sign in again and again.
So the idea is that, every time a user is forced to sign in again for no good reason, the person who suggested the idea and the manager(s) who approved it get smacked on the head by a robotic arm. Doesn't have to be painful, just a reminder of the sheer stupidity they came up with.

Make Adobe Illustrator app available in Thai
Please make Adobe Illustrator app available in Thai. I think it will be better for Thai users to be able to use Adobe Illustrator app in Thai language.

Artistic Corner Options
I had to make a customized corner style for a project that needed to match its existing vintage look and realized how limited the options were. I had to paste the shape into indesign and even then I still needed to modify them after I converted it back to Ai in order to match the desired look.
I know with nowadays minimalism we rarely make complicated borders and corners anymore but I still don't get it why we have millions of fancy brushes for stroke but non for corner....I hope there'll be an update with better options for this…

Make Layer / Link Thumbnails a Workspace / Application-Level Preference
I switch off all Layer, Link and Transparency thumbnails to improve viewing performance in complex documents, but I have to do this for EVERY customer file opened.
With the option to have my saved Workspace over-ride the viewing preference saved in each document, all files would open to the user's preferred setup.
