1. File overwrites without warning when exporting to PNG

   When you Export a file as a PNG, check the "Use Artboards" and select a specific artboard, Illustrator overwrites your file without warning. This is not consistent with exporting to SVG.

2. Illustrator Fails to request Disk access cannot access file system i.e. cant save the files!

   I have a freshly set up m1 mac Illustrator 24.6.1 and I was stumped today when using Illustrator for the first time on it. When after working on a file I could not save it. Save, Save as, Save a Copy,"Save Before Your exit - save" all failed to do anything. I then tried opedning a file... I discovered that Illustrator had failed to get permission from Mac OS to work with files. So I was stuck with my work that needed to be saved!
   I opened system preferences => security & privacy=>privacy, and then file settings, and saw that Illustrator hadn't requested access to any folders! So this was why I couldn't open a file or save the current file I am working on: Illustrator couldn't launch Finder!

   My work around was to click on the full disk access menu. Give Illustrator full disk access. The force quit illustrator so that it would restore the file after the “crash”. Then reopened illustrator, and was able to save the file now that it had full disk access.

3. Files not replacing the original

   when doing 'Save as' with the same file name, illustrator instead adds '-01' to the file name and makes a second copy - it never used to, and isn't of any use as a feature. Please fix.

   Also this 'reporting a bug' page is pants!

4. 上書き保存時に時々保存前のaiデータが勝手に複製される

   バージョンはCC2022です。
   「sample.ai」のデータを上書き保存すると「ai100000000sample.ai」（0部分は任意の数字）というファイルが時々勝手に複製されます。
   削除しようとしても「権限がありません」と出て消せません（再起動すると消せるようになることがあります）
   バグなのか設定の問題なのかわからなかったのでここで質問させていただきます。

5. Export for Screens mess up Blacks when exporting PDFs

   When using Export for Screen to Export PDFs, the blacks are messed up.

   Attached, you see a picture of the two PDFs opened in Edge. The left one is saved with "Save a Copy…” command. Right one is exported with Export for Screens utility.

   All the blacks in AI file are 100K. For some reason, Export for Screen mess them up. The right one.

   Every time I open Illustrator, half of my workday goes in debugging this kind of annoying things. I so much hate Illustrator.

6. SVG doesn't save unless move

   This bug has been around a while - SVG images won't save unless some part of it is moved. If it isn't moved, it treats it like nothing was ever changed and doesn't save, even when closing the tab without saving, the dialog box doesn't appear. This is annoying, since I often change just the colour of an icon, and have to move the icon a bit, just to get it to save.

9. Export for Screens via ExtendScript is slow and appears to have stopped

   Description:
   When I run Export for Screens via ExtendScript, it slows down and looks frozen. The rainbow cursor will appear.

   It actually works, and will finish if I wait long enough. It seems to take about 10 times longer than running it manually from the GUI.

   This is especially noticeable when exporting JPEGs. If the image to be exported is large to some extent, it will hardly progress after the progress bar reaches about 99%. CPU usage will be around 100%.
   Example: When exporting 8 1700x1000px artboards at 300ppi, it takes 157.636 seconds (the weight of each JPEG is 2.9MB).

   If I manually export the same conditions from the GUI, it will finish immediately.
   Example: When exporting 8 1700x1000px artboards at 300ppi, it takes about 2 seconds (the weight of each JPEG is 1.7MB).

   PNG24 is slower than manual, but it doesn't affect as much as JPEG. The CPU usage was around 160%.
   Example: When exporting 8 1700x1000px artboards at 300ppi, it takes 39.376 seconds.

   It happens under the following conditions.
   • At least Illustrator 2020-2022 (24.3.0-26.0.2)
   • At least 2 environments of macOS Monterey 12.0.1 (Apple Silicon) / Big Sur 11.6 (Apple Silicon)
   • At least two models of MacBook Air (Apple Silicon, 16GB memory) / iMac (Apple Silicon, memory unknown)
   • Run via ExtendScript Document.exportForScreens
   • Option JPG 100,300ppi (artboard size is 1700x1000px)
   • Include transparency in artboard

   It doesn't happen under the following conditions, or the delay is not so noticeable.
   • When executed manually from the GUI
   • When the option is set to JPG 100, 72ppi
   • When the option is set to PNG24, 300ppi
   • When removing the transparency from the artboard

   The following items do not seem to have much effect.
   • Whether to start Illustrator with Rosetta. Rosetta makes it even slower

   Expected behavior:
   When I run Export for Screens via ExtendScript, it works as fast as I do via the GUI.

   Document:
   Attachment
   • sample.ai (ai file used for export)
   • exportForScreens.txt (script to execute. Please change the extension to jsx)

   === Japanese from here on ===

   ExtendScript経由のスクリーン用に書き出しが遅く，固まる

   説明：
   ExtendScript経由で［スクリーン用に書き出し］を実行すると動作が遅くなり，レインボーカーソルが出て固まったように見えます。実際は動いていて長い時間待てば終わるものの，GUIから手動で実行するのと比べると10倍ほど時間がかかるようです。

   JPEGを書き出すときに顕著です。書き出す画像がある程度大きいと，プログレスバーが99%くらいになった後ほとんど進みません。CPU使用率は100%前後になります。
   例：1700x1000pxのアートボード8枚を300ppiで書き出すとき，かかる時間は157.636秒（できたJPEGの重さは1点につき2.9MB）

   同じ条件の書き出しをGUIから手動で実行すると，すぐに終わります。
   例：1700x1000pxのアートボード8枚を300ppiで書き出すとき，かかる時間は2秒くらい（できたJPEGの重さは1点につき1.7MB）

   PNG24は手動よりは遅いですが，JPEG程大きく影響しません。CPU使用率は160%前後でした。
   例：1700x1000pxのアートボード8枚を300ppiで書き出すとき，かかる時間は39.376秒

   次の条件で起こります。
   • 少なくともIllustrator 2020〜2022(24.3.0〜26.0.2)
   • 少なくともmacOS Monterey 12.0.1(Apple Silicon) / Big Sur 11.6(Apple Silicon)の2環境
   • 少なくともMacBook Air(Apple Silicon, 16GBメモリ) / iMac(Apple Silicon, メモリ不明)の2機種
   • ExtendScriptのDocument.exportForScreens経由で実行
   • オプションJPG 100，300ppi(アートボードサイズは1700x1000px)
   • アートボードに透明効果を含む

   次の条件では起こらないか，遅延がさほど気になりません。
   • GUIから手動で実行したとき
   • オプションをJPG 100，72ppiにしたとき
   • オプションをPNG24，300ppiにしたとき
   • アートボードから透明効果を削除したとき

   次の項目はあまり影響しないようです。
   • IllustratorをRosettaで起動するかどうか。Rosettaにしたらさらに遅くなる

   期待する動作：
   ExtendScript経由で［スクリーン用に書き出し］を実行したとき，GUI経由で行うのと同じくらい速く動きます。

   資料：
   添付ファイル
   • sample.ai（書き出しに使うaiファイル）
   • exportForScreens.txt（実行するスクリプト。拡張子をjsxに変更してください）

10. AIT file does not open as a new AI file when opening from One Drive.

    I updated to Adobe Illustrator V26.0.3 today. And now AIT file opens as AIT file.

    It should open as a new AI file when opening from AIT file since it is a template.

    FYI, I am using MacBook Pro M1 2020, and MacOS Motley V.12.1.

    Doen anyone getting the same problem?

    ---Additional Comment---

    After testing, I found out that this is happening when I open an AIT file from my One Drive folder.

    When I copied AIT file on my desktop, then it opened as a new AI file as it was used be.

    For more details, I am using One Drive App (V.22.002.0103.0004) which I recently updated on Jan-26-2022.

14. SVG export from Indesign PDF not cropping to artwork

    Part of my team's workflow involves exporting a PDF from Indesign 2021 (Mac) and then converting to SVG via Illustrator "Export As…" with "Artboards" unchecked. Illustrator 2021 and prior versions cropped the SVG export to the artwork, which is what we want. Illustrator 2022 and 2023 always crop to the artboard, even when it's unchecked.

    What appears to be happening is that the Indesign pdf has a page sized clipping path which Illustrator used to ignore, but no longer does. I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature, but we really need it to go back to the old way, as we're getting new machines and can no longer install Illustrator 2021.

15. A lot of empty PNG when using Export for Screens function

    When exporting with Export for Screens, many empty pngs are created in the file folder. The bug occurs completely randomly. The number of files also defies any explanation. There may be 10 or 1000 files at a time.

    System: Windows 10, Illustrator v.26.0.3

    New details: this bug occurs if you copy complex graphics to the clipboard. Video attached. I suspect the meshes are to blame.

    Update: If you disable Clipboard Handling → Include SVG Code or clipboard log Windows, the problem disappears.

16. SVGs are missing elements when opening with Illustrator (and PhotoShop too)

    For the last several weeks I've discovered that opening SVGs with Illustrator (and PhotoShop in fact) results in a significant portion of the artwork being missing. I've opened over 100 SVGs from multiple sources and every single one is missing elements when opened in Illustrator. When opened in Inkscape or Google Chrome the SVGs are fine. See attachments for an example SVG file from the web.

    My work is almost solely in SVG for compatibility with other devices (laser cutter, etc), and not being able to successfully open ANY SVG is incredibly disruptive. I can export from Inkscape as EPS then it will open in Illustrator, but it's not the right file type for my needs. I also shouldn't have to use a free, inferior program to work around bugs in the very expensive software I pay for.

17. Error css classes in svg export

    In version before 26.2, applying a graphic style to a simple object (rectangle, line, etc.) allowed the name of that graphic style to be used as a CSS class in the an exported SVG. So a graphic style of "thick-outline" would become a CSS class called ".thick-outline" when the SVG file was exported with internal CSS.

    Now, a useless class called "cls-1" is applied to the illustrator object instead, making re-use of overriding of the style in the SVG difficult. This is a regression that makes the usefulness of the SVG export feature limited.

    See below for a comparison of files exported in 26.1 vs. 26.2:

    26.1
    <svg id="Layer_1" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 48 48">
    <defs>
    <style>
    .wo-icon--outline-thick {
    fill: none;
    stroke: #1a1a1a;
    stroke-linecap: round;
    stroke-linejoin: round;
    stroke-width: 3px;
    }
    </style>
    </defs>
    <polyline class="wo-icon--outline-thick" points="19.94 13.5 30.38 23.93 19.94 34.37"/>
    </svg>

    26.2:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <svg id="Layer_1" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 48 48">
    <defs>
    <style>
    .wo-icon--outline-thick, .cls-1 {
    stroke: #1a1a1a;
    stroke-linecap: round;
    stroke-linejoin: round;
    stroke-width: 3px;
    }

      .cls-1 {
        fill: none;
      }
    </style>
    

    </defs>
    <polyline class="cls-1" points="18 12 30 24 18 36"/>
    </svg>

    In version before 26.2, applying a graphic style to a simple object (rectangle, line, etc.) allowed the name of that graphic style to be used as a CSS class in the an exported SVG. So a graphic style of "thick-outline" would become a CSS class called ".thick-outline" when the SVG file was exported with internal CSS.

    Now, a useless class called "cls-1" is applied to the illustrator object instead, making re-use of overriding of the style in the SVG difficult. This is a regression that makes the usefulness of the SVG export feature limited.

18. SVG Export - Style Tag (Angled Apostrophe) Issue

    Hi,

    I have recently stumbled upon a random issue with exporting SVGs from Illustrator (Desktop). I am recycling some previously used assets that I know work fine and are fully compatible with Articulate Rise (the eLearning tool I import the SVGs to).

    For some reason, within the last week or so, something has changed. Now when I try to import my SVGs to Articulate, I get an error saying the file type is invalid. Having investigated this with the Articulate support team, we discovered that during the export process, Illustrator is adding a random invalid character (this one (`)).

    See attached images for reference.

    I can edit the styling using SVG viewer, but it's slowing down our output immensely and I'm not sure what has changed? I know for a fact these images work fine in the current courses they sit in.

    Note: If I ungroup the assets on the banner image, and export them as SVGs, they all import fine and don't have the angled apostrophe. If I group them together, however, the apostrophe appears! The obvious solution would be to ungroup and collect as a single asset, which I've tested and unfortunately, this still presents the same issue. I've also tested grouping newly created assets together there are no issues.

    Hopefully, someone out there can help out with this!

    Thanks in advance,
    Steph

19. Illustrator changes Tiny SVG headers

    (1.) Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.19042 and Illustrator 26.5
    (2.) open file, then "save as" > SVG Tiny 1.2
    (3.) SVG header contains: xmlns:x="&nsextend;" xmlns:i="&nsai;" xmlns:graph="&ns_graphs;"
    (4.) previous SVG Tiny 1.2 headers never contained the xmlns information in (3.)
    (5.) see uploaded files

    Please do not advise me on how to use (or not use) SVG files. It is just about the program (Illustrator) changing its settings for SVG headers.
