EVERYTHING Vanished
I was simply working on a design today, then all of the sudden, a small popup flashed at the top of the screen and then went away immediately. BOOM, Every single file that has anything to do with that piece of work vanished completely off my computer. The original picture (.jpg) and my recent saves (.pdf and .ai) are nowhere on my computer.
Why?

Editing Pattern Swatch + Saving = Crash (unsaved, unrecovered)
After creating a new pattern swatch with about a dozen objects, I double click the swatch to change the pattern settings. Either of the following scenarios cause Illustrator to crash EVERY TIME, using ANY of the last 3 versions of Illustrator:
— hitting command+s to exit pattern editor while saving
— double clicking to exit, and then hitting command+s at any point afterwardsTLDR; hitting command+s anytime AFTER editing a pattern swatch is crashing Illustrator
I've replicated this issue about 2 dozen times now across all 3 most recent builds of Illustrator available through CC.

Stop Illustrator from increasing file size by 400% when exporting artwork in 300ppi resolution
Illustrator currently increases the size of a file by 400% when using the "Export As" option and choosing to save at 300ppi resolution instead of 72ppi resolution. We tried several times exporting as PNG for an Artboard that was 5000px wide but the program saved the file at 20000px wide because we chose to save at 300ppi resolution. We contacted support and they stated that this was a "feature" of the application and cannot be changed.

Asset Library Export stopped working with batch exporting
From today for some reason batch exporting icons does not work in the Asset Export. I have a set of 150 icons that I use, and only change the color combinations as required. It always worked flawlessly. From today, When I click export, it seems to work, but no icons get exported when all are chosen. If I manually check a few at a time it works, but if I choose All Assets, it wont work anymore. Tried rebooting and clearing the cache.

Ai files saved on windows lose their preview when changing extension to .ait
To prevent accidentally saving over common library files (stock graphics and the like) we save our artwork files as .ai, then change the extension to .ait so that they will open as an untitled file. There are a couple of reasons I do things this way instead of saving them as .ait files from the get go.
The main reason is that it's not uncommon that I'll need to run a batch script on several files. As part of that batch, I open the file, make some change(s), then save the file. If the files are initially saved as a…

Dashes not reproduced properly on paste from Excel
Copying any chart from Excel to Illustrator, where the chart contains a dashed line does not respect dash spacing set in Excel, and always imports with fixed (and rather nonsensical) 1000px dash spacing (so typically no dashes are seen except the first one in almost any artwork).
This has been happening for a while, 1-2 years for sure, so it's not a new bug. It persists across Illustrator and Excel versions.
1) make a chart in excel
2) add dashes to the line
3) copy and paste into illustratorExpected:

Asset Export does NOT retain the layer name
When selecting two or more elements in a layer named "A" for instance, and adding to the Asset Export panel with the single plus button, it renames it 'Asset1' or something random.
HOWEVER, if that same layer is nested one level deep, clicking the multiple + add button adds it as a SINGLE object, WITH the proper name.
Very funky indeed.
Need the single add button to just simply add it with the name of the layer.
Here's a notion of what I mean (includes several long standing bugs in Asset Export)

Export As SVG does not work. Leaves no File,
24.2.1, Windows 10
File >Export As [SVG, use artboards]
Expected to see the file when I exported, did not, repeated 3X,
No file was saved to directory.I then opened Illustrator 2019 which is still installed, and it worked as normal.
Export As SVG is the most used feature in illustrator for me, and this bug renders it useless. No file gets exported.

Illustrator won't open .AI or Jpg files
Hi,
I'm currently using Intel Core i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz on Windows 10 with version 24.1.2 of Illustrator.
I only started using software today (so i'm very much a beginner) and I have gone to open .ai and .jpeg but a tab pops up stating 'the file "abc" is an unknown format and cannot be opened'.
Can you help me fix this please.
I can't find any answers anywhere.
Thankyou,
Harry

File>Save not saving newest version
Since vr 24.1.1, "File > Save" automatically saves legacy versions of illustrator as the same legacy version. This means any files made pre this version all come up with this and I have to use "File>Save As" every time.
Previously any file I worked with, I could use "File> Save" and it would save as the newest version of AI (maybe with the exception of very older file types like CS ones). Not sure if there's an option I can change to switch it back? As this is slowing my work flow.

Saving a file should not highlight the extension
When saving (copy, exporting, etc), the save box highlights the extension. This should not happen. Soon as you choose a different format, the extension is no longer highlighted (which is good and how it should be). The extension should not be highlighted. This Illustrator bug happened after the Mac Catalina update.

SVG Stroke Widths are not scaled according to viewBox
MacOS Mojave 10.14.6
Illustrator CC 2019- rename the attached .txt file to .svg and import the SVG file into Illustrator.
expected: it should display two horizontal lines
actual: it appears as a rectangle because the lines are touchinghere are two lines, 200px apart, with 100px stroke width in a 500x500 SVG with a viewbox of 1000x1000. since the viewbox is twice the size of the SVG document, the stroke width should be scaled down to 50px and the lines should not overlap.

Thank you for all the feedback.

SVGz No longer displaying on live web pages
Hi, I have been using Svgz files for a while now but the last couple of updates for illustrator the svgz files do not work. I have never been able to view these files till they were on the server So I would make both SVG and svgz files use the SVG to visually code then add the z to the file name on the server this worked well.
The Files always generate this Error in a browser window but not once served via a correctly configured webserver

Illustrator not saving 100% of the time
I'm finding Illustrator isn't saving every time I save documents, the last approx 3-4 weeks I've had to re-make approx 15 files that I had previously saved. Running Illustrator 24.2.1 + Windows 10 Pro (1903) but problem existed before this update. My co-worker is having the same issue. I've held off reporting it as I cant explain the mechanism for why it's only happening occasionally. would love a fix for this, was hoping the previous update would somehow fix it but hasn't unfortunately.

Cannot deactivate "Embed ICC profile" in Asset Export
When using the Asset Export panel, if you go into a JPG preset and uncheck "Embed ICC Profile" and then click "Save Settings", the setting will not save. It will always embed the profile. If you reopen that preset, the option is always checked. Any exported file does have the ICC profile embedded.
