  2. Export for Screens not updating Artboard titles

    I've been copy/pasting my artboards and renaming them to save time.

    I've noticed though that Export for Screens doesn't always update the artboard name, despite the artboard name being changed.

    I've seen this bug a few times now.

  5. Filename is no longer selected in Save / Save As dialogs in macOS Mojave

    In macOS Mojave only the filename was selected in the Save / Save As... window.

    Now nothing is selected so you can't start typing right away or the extension is also included in the selection. So if you need to save multiple versions or need to add a number at the end of a filename you could hit the Right Arrow key and start typing.

    If you do that now the cursor moves after the extension, you have to move 4 positions back or delete the extension entirely and then start typing.

  6. Issues saving CMYK vector as PNG

    I am trying to save my vector as a PNG file, something simple, and it looks good on the Artboard, but for some reason after saving it, it changes some colors, like some sort of blending mode effect and I tried everything, still not working. The RGB vector is being saved just fine, is the CMYK version that I am having issues with.

  8. SVG Filter exported wrong

    I have an svg filter applied to a simple path, which is applied correctly in illustrator, but when I export as an svg one feBlend item is missing.

    My filter
    <filter id="wood">
    <feTurbulence baseFrequency=".4 0.002" numOctaves="2" result="stripes" stitchTiles="noStitch" type="fractalNoise">
    </feTurbulence>
    <feColorMatrix in="stripes" result="woodStripes" type="matrix" values=" 0 0 0 0.52 0.04 0 0 0 0.29 0.03 0 0 0 0.15 0.01 0 0 0 0 1">
    </feColorMatrix>
    <feTurbulence baseFrequency="0.5 0.5" numOctaves="2" result="smallNoise" stitchTiles="noStitch" type="fractalNoise">
    </feTurbulence>
    <feColorMatrix in="smallNoise" result="desaturatedNoise" type="saturate" values="0.2"></feColorMatrix>
    <feBlend in="woodStripes" in2="desaturatedNoise" mode="multiply" result="woodTexture"></feBlend>
    <feComposite in="woodTexture" in2="SourceGraphic" operator="in"></feComposite>
    </filter>

    Is exported as

    <filter id="wood" name="wood">
    <feTurbulence result="stripes" baseFrequency="0.4 0" numOctaves="2"…

  9. Documents are marked as changed immediately after opening in 25.4.1.

    Since updating to 25.4.1, many documents are marked as having been edited immediately after opening them, instead of after actually changing anything.

    I have not yet tracked down if there is anything documents doing this have in common. The more effects they have in them, the more likely they are to have this happen.

    I've attached one of the simpler documents that's displaying this behavior.

  13. Asset Export including extra elements

    When I add an item to the Asset Export panel and then export it, the exported graphic is including a lot of extra pixels that weren't part of the item/group that I added.

    In the attached screenshots, I first added an item. Then, when I deselected my item, the panel added extra padding to the asset. Then, when I went to export my assets, there was extra padding on almost all of my assets. I opened them in Photoshop to crop them back down to size. All the files had some stray white pixels that are not in my AI…

  14. Save dialog fails if you start typing file name before window is shown

    When I press the ⌘+S shortcut and start typing the file name before the save dialog box shows up, I get a "The save file operation failed." error.

    This is on version 25.4.1 on macOS Big Sur 11.4 on an M1 Macbook Air.

    This has been an error for a long time, if not indeed for several years.

  16. Please stop Illustrator coming to the foreground after exporting

    After exporting to screens, which may take several seconds, I usually switch to the the application that receives the exported files and I continue working there.
    Annoyingly, after finishing exporting the files, Illustrator pushes its way back to the foreground so that I have to switch back to the other app I was working on.
    Can you stop this from happening please and leave Illustrator in the background after it has finished?

  17. Export for screens scale problem

    Sometime ago, I entered 0.2x in the scale field in the Export for Screens dialog. Now, in all documents, even if I set the scale to 1, I get the 0.2x scale. Even in new documents! I have even tried to delete the scale definition, it always comes back as 0.2x

  20. exporting PDF files

    You're phasing out eps files. I gather I should now provide logos files in PDF.
    However, I can't export each art board (I use artboards for the variations of the logos I design) as a separate file. I don't believe a client wants a multiple paged PDF for a logo!
    What do you expect our work flow to be?
