Save As and Export dialogue box not opening / appearingrunning v26.5, Macbook Pro M1 14, OS12.0.1 'Save As' and 'Export' dialogue box not opening so unable to save or export anything when running two screens.

I do not run any plugins. I have: 
 • Reset preferences

Dialogue Boxes not openingI am running Illustrator 26.5 on macOS Montery 12.6 and no dialogue boxes are opening. I have to restart Illustrator in order to save, export, etc. Once I force quit, if a file has been recovered, when I got to save that file, Illustrator crashes, and I am unable to save (as the cycle just continues). 2 votes

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 filesPlease 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. 1 vote

Font weight lost in SVG exportWhen exporting to SVG the code seems to have lost the font weight atribute. We are exporting in bold and the old epxort used to include the code font-weight="700". The new code has ommited the font weight. 2 votes

Share for Review Greyed OutI used Share for Review in Beta a number of times successfully last week on a few proofs but I just opened a file to use it again and the feature is now greyed out, as is the option to open a window for "Comments". I have reverted back to the regular Illustrator to continue using this feature but preferred the Beta, as the regular version requires you to upload the file and assets to CC cloud and the proof quality is terrible. The Beta, when it was working, was more consistent with how the feature works in InDesign but… 1 vote

File overwrites without warning when exporting to PNGWhen 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 votes

SVG Exporter with decimal to 1 rounds lower percentage opacities to 0macOS Catalina 10.15.7, Adobe Illustrator 26.5 In the latest versions of Adobe Illustrator, the SVG exporter when the decimals parameter is 1 low percentage opacities are rounded to 0 in the CSS styles of the SVG file.

SVG export - ignores object style when fill is emptyWhile exporting to svg, Illustrator converts object styles to css classes. It works fine when object style has both fill and stroke, but when it's only stroke, Illustrator adds it's own generated classes (.cls-1) like if the object style didn't exist. Please see output examples: 
 - both stroke and fill
 - just stroke1 vote

It's 2022. Can we get some glaring, long standing bugs fixed please?There are long standing user requests for all of these: - 'Export for Screens' still adds extra pixels on exports unless the artboards are placed to exact pixels 
- Artboards can't be moved to snap to exact pixels, meaning if you move artboards you probably have to manually remove any decimal places in the artboard position, or else Illustrator will add extra pixels on export... 
- Smart Guides show up when creating or moving artboards, but don't actually work because creating or moving Artboards doesn't snap 
- Artboard names will randomly revert back to old names 
- In the Export for Screens dialog box, Artboard…

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…1 vote

Can't export selection properlyHave some simple artwork with some outlined type. Prior to the update, it all exported properly with "Export Selection..." Now it SHOWS it's going to export in the preview, but no matter what I do the majority of the text is absent. If I segregate the export to even simply one of the letters not exporting, it still exports incorrectly (even though the preview before the export shows the character) and results in an empty file! 1 vote

Changing color via Hex doesn't count as an action, so save does not update fileWhen changing the color of a selected object, if you paste a hex number in to the color palette window and hit enter the object will change to the correct color. However, the program does not register this as an action/history change. So you can’t hit save and have the color change applied to the saved the file. This also is apparent in that it doesn’t become an “Undo Color” item under the Edit menu. Besides pasting a Hex color, I get the same bug if I type a Hex color in. Any other form of changing the color of… 7 votesThe latest Beta 29.4.0.37 now correctly treats a document as changed when a color code is paste into the HEX field in the Color panel with an object selected. Please test it and comment back.

Name artboard is not added to the file name when exporting (JPG or PNG, etc.)When executing the command "File > Export As" and exporting, for example, to JPG, the name artboard 3 "preview" is not automatically added to the file name. Everything was fine in the previous version (26.3.1) of Illustrator. 96 votesThis is fixed in 27.1.0 build 2. The suffix checkbox was added into the Export As dialog to toggle on/off the functionality. If it doesn’t work for you today in the latest build — please make a comment.

(MacOS) Finder window freezes when trying to save an Illustrator fileWhen I try to save an illustrator file, the Finder window that pops up is frozen. None of the buttons are clickable. I've tried saving files with other apps, including Adobe apps like After Effects, and they can save files just fine - to the same folder even. Currently using the latest version of Illustrator. Things I've tried: 
 - Resetting Illustrator preferences
 - Reinstalling Illustrator
 - Versioning down Illustrator
 - Deleting the com.illustrator cache folder
 - Relaunching Finder
 - Restarting the computer
 - Starting with a fresh Illustrator file
 - Opening an existing Illustrator fileAny solutions? At the moment,… 1 vote
