Iterating through large collections is very slow (non linear).
Whenever I have a need to iterate through a large collection (such as pageItems) the iteration is very very slow, and the larger the collection is the more slower it gets. I would expect this to be a linear behavior, but it's not. If a collection's size doubles, it takes more than double the time to iterate through it.

ファイル名に#が付いた配置画像のファイルパスをapplescriptで得ようとすると問題あり
例えばファイル名「ABC#123.psd」とした画像を配置し、
選択したうえでtell application "Adobe Illustrator"
get file path of selection
end tellを実行するとリザルトが
file "○○○:○○○:ABC"
となり、#とそれ以降が無くなっている。
正常ならば
file "○○○:○○○:ABC#123.psd"
となるはず。ファイル名に限らず、パス内に#が入っているとダメ。
cs6、cc2018、cc2019では問題ない。

Dimension / Fraction script not rotating text properly
After installing the Illustrator 25.1 update, some of the features of the dimension / fraction script are not rotating text properly. Some of the options should rotate the height measurement 90º; it remains horizontal with no rotation.

Illustrator 25.2 missing scriptability Info.plist entry
Illustrator's Info.plist file no longer has an entry for

.duplicate() does not update selection, crashing Illustrator
selection[0].duplicate()
// redraw()
alert(selection.length)when running this script in Illustrator, you will see that both the original selection plus its duplicate will be selected, but the alert will display 1. Running this script in debug shows that selection only contains one object despite .duplicate() being used. This causes a corruption(?) issue where in reality there are now two objects selected but selection only shows one to be selected unless you do redraw(). This discrepancy will cause Illustrator to crash when trying to set the selection (in specific circumstances) on another line after the .duplicate().
In other situations, whether one or…

Justification bug, cannot set 'center' in v24.2 using AppleScript
Running a script to set the justification of text works perfectly for left and right, but no longer works for center. Putting the example script given in the latest Illustrator CC Scripting Guide, page 122, into a Script Editor visually compiles centre differently to left and right and only works if you remove or comment out the line justifying to center.

Unable to use file for "do javascript" in Illustrator 2020
Bug report:
Passing a JavaScript file (alias) to "do javascript" in Illustrator 2020, fails with the error "JavaScript code was missing".Also, if using a JavaScript string for "do javascript" and passing a file to "with arguments", it will be a missing File object in JavaScript.
Expected behavior:
As with Illustrator 2019, it is executed when a JavaScript file is passed. If a file is passed "with arguments", it becomes an existing File object.Japanese:
Illustrator 2020でdo javascriptにファイルを指定できないバグ内容：
Illustrator 2020でAppleScriptのdo javascriptにJavaScriptファイル（エイリアス）を渡すと「JavaScript code was missing」とエラーが起きて終了する。また，do javascriptにJavaScript文字列を使い，with argumentsにファイルを渡すと，JavaScriptでは行方不明のFileオブジェクトになる。
期待される動作：
Illustrator 2019までと同じように，JavaScriptファイルを渡すと正常に実行される。with argumentsにファイルを渡したときは存在するFileオブジェクトになる。27 votes -

24.3 causes my extension to crash illustrator
Hi,
I've noticed that my extension Khronos Maker have started to crash Illustrator after updating to 24.3. I'm not sure what's causing it and hope to get some help to identify where the problem is.
In terms of code, what's causing the crash is the sequence of following:
myDocument.textFrames.add();
myLayer.position = [coordinates.x, coordinates.y];
myLayer.contents = graphic;app.undo()
//and then running the code above again after the undo causes a crash
myDocument.textFrames.add();
myLayer.position = [coordinates.x, coordinates.y];
myLayer.contents = graphic;This is strange since hitting cntrl + Z (windows) instead of the script, no crash. And in version 24.2.3 everything works fine.…

Unable to create file or folder object in Illustrator CC2020
I tried to create a file or folder object with a slash (colon) in its name in Illustrator CC2020, but I couldn't.
Also, I was not able to get the file object from PlacedItem.
The same thing happens with AppleScript.In Photoshop CC2020 and InDesign CC2020,I was able to create.
NG Case(JSX)

Access all variables necessary for each item's appearance
Lots of obvious variables are missing from each type of item. I've not tested exhaustively so I've no doubt there'll be other examples, but here are a few I've recently run up against;
— fillColor and strokeColor are entirely missing from both text and group items.
— where a path has multiple fills or strokes, you can't select which one is referenced, and the rest are inaccessible.
— arrow heads
— effects (eg. I'd like to be able to access properties of a 3D effect)
— graphic styles (reference, rename, create, remove, edit)14 votes -

selection geometricBounds and true geometricBounds for clipped objects
Allow for access to the selection geometricBounds as a whole. Also bounds for the clipped area only (ignore hidden areas).
In Illustrator, the Transform window displays the position, width and height for all objects selected and it does not display clipped areas. when you size an object by entering a dimension, you don't have to worry about clipped areas. in scripting you do.
The geometricBounds, visibleBounds, controlBounds, height and width properties give you the size of clipped objects. for a couple of items you can check if each is clipped and if it is, you can then retrieve the first…

Bring back the old scripting forums
Bring back the old scripting forums, the new "Community" forums are a joke. It's totally unintuitive and impossible to find anything scripting related as its all thrown in with general user stuff. Looks like all the money has been spent on "Badges" when all we want is easy to find help. Looks like all the historical data has mostly been removed as well so that's bad if you are looking for something someone may have answered in the past. Big step backwards...

Allow C++ SDK to load swatch library (ase) from filepath
Currently, with ExtendScript, we're able to load a swatch library from a filepath and show its panel. In the C++ SDK, we're only able to open a library with the OpenNthLibrary function from the SwatchLibrariesSuite.
It would be nice, similar to ExtendScript, to be able to load an .ase from a filepath and open the panel.
