An error occurred while saving the comment Ruphqoh, can you understand when this happens? Does it happen soon after you save a file, or copy something, or switch apps?
Does a crash reported dialog show up? Do you send these to the team? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I can’t agree on that.
These operations directly change the way the artwork is affected, hence they have to be displayed in History.
Lock an object, Select All, change fill to red — everything gets painted, but the locked object.
Undo all the steps, but imagine the Lock Selected gets skipped — now selecting all and changing the fill will result in the same result, even though you never locked anything this time. This means the SAME steps now can lead to different results, but DIFFERENT steps can mean the same result. This is not consistent and can lead to many user mistakes, far beyond anyone’s imagination.And while it’s NEVER needed for you, it’s something MAY rely on, since it’ normal, to be able to undo ANY operation.
But notice this request:
Ability to UNDO not only actual changes to objects but also selections
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34934953That’d be a more disruptive change, but it makes more sense — to me personally.

An error occurred while saving the comment Am I getting this right — when you open an existing file or create a new document, the canvas is black and no document is displayed?
Can you share a screenshot, please, or even a video? What does Ai says in Preferences > Performance, does it recognize the GPU? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I can confirm this.
Here is a comparison between a rectangle (a live shape) and a triangle (drawn with a Pen, not a live shape).
What I can also notice, is that a second dimension is calculated wrong for bot, but for a tringle it gets almost instantly corrected in the field... while for the rectangle the wrong value stays in it until the next change of this wrong field.
Thanks, good catch.AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) supported this idea · -

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you share a test file, please, or at least a video of the behavior, with the Layers panel visible and expanded?
Do you get any sound notification when it fails?
Can you place objects in these spot by other means than just dragging, like with the Move dialog?
Please elaborate. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Tim, CValley FILTERiT plugin pack used to have a similar toolset, with their Lens tool.
Here, you can review these in this article: https://www.creative-aktuell.de/blog-details/illustrator-filterit-plugin-objekte-verzerren.html (scroll somewhere in the middle)
Alas, the company recently went silent... I’m afraid the revenue was just too small for them to sat afloat, or something even more sad happened. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Thad, the panel with the smoothing controls tends to get hidden under other panels... it’s a known problem and probably this is what is happening for you.
Try to temporarily hide all panels with Tab and check if calling Smooth works inn this case. Comment back, please. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Karine, what build do you use specifically?
This problem was recently fixed with 29.0.1 patch — do you still have this problem after this latest update? -

I have no words, but this solution is missing again form both the latest Beta and the GA. There is no new information on it. As soon as anything gets known — the status will be updated again. I am so sorry.
An error occurred while saving the comment While the team does who knows what with this problem, I want to remind all about several existing free scripts (and everyone should use scripts, because suffering makes no sense) to solve this problem TODAY:
1. https://github.com/dumbm1/ai_scripts/blob/master/ord/fastRelink/fast_relink.jsx by Marat Shagiev
2. https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/relink-all-selected/td-p/9332967 by Carlos Canto and the communityFor the convenience, I attach these as .txt here, since UserVoice has a strict policy about scripts in attachments.
You need to rename them to .jsx.You don’t have to install them into Scripts folder even to access form File > Scripts even (but this would allow you to make an action with this script inside). you can just keep them where you want them and drag-n-drop them into Ai window when needed.
One of them should work. Just select images, run the script, pick one image and get all selected links replaced with this chosen image at once.An error occurred while saving the comment As the status says, a new way to handle links en masse is offered for testing.
It looks like the attached images show.My personal opinion is: I like where it’s going, but this looks pretty bloated, it breaks legacy workflows, and I don’t like the current version.
The decision to have names on separate lines I get...
And I understand why it has to be a column, and not three columns...
I just don’t find it anything elegant or easy to read. The name of the original missing link, duplicated twice, alternating like a sandwich, hardly makes it easy to see and grasp the idea between 'Current' and 'All' options.Then... it just doesn’t work it seems.
1. I linked an image and made 10 duplicates of it
2. I renamed the file and got the dialog #1
3. I chose to Replace and picked the renamed file
4. I set 'All instances' — so I expect to have all 10 copies of this image replaced with the renamed file.
But instead I get this 'Could not find the linked file' warning for each selected image. Why?If I select several duplicated linked images on canvas / in Links panel and choose Relink in the Links panel’s menu, and then pick 'All instances' option in Place dialog — it works... but it doesn’t replace only those duplicated I wanted to replace and selected, it replaces them ALL.
Yes, the name of the option says so.
But how can I replace only those I selected?As I see it, Apply to All checkmark should be brought back.
If enabled and Replace is clicked, the 'Current instance' option should just become disabled.
The name of the link should go to the dialog’s header, just like InDesign does it.I believe the options should be like these.
Replace [filename]:
— Current instance only (should be disabled if Apply to All was used)
— Selected instances (should be disabled if none were selected)
— All instances
'Search for Missing Links in This Folder' should be a checkmark, to distinguish it from 'Replace [filename]' choice.
If it gets ticked, all radio buttons above (or to the left of it) should become disabled and blank — since it’s a different thing altogether.
However, if unchecked, Ai should restore the choice made by user and not default it.
That is, if one clicked 'Selected Instances' and then enabled 'Search for...' — then 'Selected...' becomes blank and disabled.
But if 'Search for...' is toggled back — 'Selected...' must become active and picked.
And 'Search for...' should be disabled as well if no links are missing.An error occurred while saving the comment @ar designconcept
28.6 is not 28.8 :)
This is still only in Beta 28.8.0.43 or higher Beta build — not yet in the GA build.An error occurred while saving the comment Plus this proposal is just TOO DEEP. It’s a dropdown with three options! Why not a radio group with all three choices visible all at once?
I’d prefer to have these directly in the dialog BEFORE this one.
It’s a rather important choice, and pushing it below another choice, when we actively search for the file, won’t get noticed by many, even though some related options are already there...An error occurred while saving the comment Not enough.
InDesign has a dedicated 'Relink to Folder' menu command — which basically works as 'Replace + Search ... in This Folder', but doesn’t require to have links missing!
Here is the request about having it — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/39739852-add-relink-to-folder-to-the-links-panel-as-in — and notice a free script exists to do it — https://github.com/sky-chaser-high/adobe-illustrator-scripts#relinkToFolderThen, we might need to replace selected images (linked or not) with ONE another chosen link (this is exactly what users are crying about now) — but without using the mentioned 'delete to trigger the dialog' workaround (it IS a workaround).
And here is the request about having it — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34174264 ! Plus, again, there is a free script to do it — https://github.com/dumbm1/ai_scripts/blob/master/ord/fastRelink/fast_relink.jsx !What about the cursed Libraries, Batch relinking FROM a library?
There is a request — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31902295 . This time no free script, because Libraries is a barred bunker with no ESTK support (sigh).Why not giving dedicated menu commands for all of those, along with the redesigning 'missing' dialog?
So we have these command in Links’ menu:
Relink
Relink Selected
Relink to Folder
Relink File Extension
Relink from CC Libraries
Relink Selected from CC Libraries
Notice how it says 'Libraries' (like the panel is called and how InDesign spells it), and not 'Library'.
Notice Libraries are shoved into the bottom, because local is more important than cloud (and always will be), and that’s how InDesign handles it.An error occurred while saving the comment Adam, this one is a pretty recent change... They had the option at some point, but then dropped, because were not aware of the 'replace with one image' trick we started to use it for. The problem with the actual mass relinking to existing links was an old one, true, but this particular report is not about it.
And it IS going to be redeemed, as I am aware, soon enough. Fingers crossed.
An error occurred while saving the comment Demos are cool. Here is one showing how Fast Relink script works.
An error occurred while saving the comment CSievers, the free Fast Relink script by Marat Shagiev I mention in a comment in the link below, allows to avoid repetitive operations TODAY. I am not saying it’s a final solution we should be happy with, but it works.
InDesign’s 'Relink all instances of an image' works for one image only, while the script allows to select any images. Was Apply to All able to do that? I think I never tried even.
@ajabon grinsmith in the previous thread showed an interesting example with relinking many different images to another folder with different files having same names... but I believe this IS possible with the current 'Search for missing links in this folder', nope? Should recheck.
An error occurred while saving the comment BTW, there is this special dedicated request:
Relink / replace all instances of the same image at once
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34174264It won’t allow to achieve all the things users were able to do with Apply to / Replace All, as I see it, but anyway.

An error occurred while saving the comment And there is a discussion at forums about a script to embed selected images, using a loop: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/javascript-to-embed-all-linked-images-into-the-ai-file-via-script-bug/td-p/10482321
This script can be installed into Scripts folder and added as a step into an action. Will do the trick.
Not a final solution, just a workaround, and the request is solid. Upvoting it.AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) supported this idea · -

An error occurred while saving the comment Don’t you worry! It’s better to have a duplicate to merge rather then keep the team not aware of a simplest thing (and we had a lot like these before UV!)
An error occurred while saving the comment Marc, please don’t make these as 'three-in-one' :)
UserVoice currently does not allow to split entries into more than two chunks (and just recently it didn’t allow this at all).I agree with most of these, but all three were previously requested and reported:
1. Allow adding Patterns and Gradient swatches to Color Groups — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31389250 — this is already done, and available to test in Beta, please try it and give feedback in comments
2. Make gradient swatches global — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33164479
Actually, they ARE secretly global (and it causes this problem: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/37224865), but it’s poorly exposed and not fully controllable.3. Allow gradient swatches to be added to CC library — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/30997678
Well, Libraries is a great idea but it sinks in the inability of Adobe to get their shit together and make it truly cross-app with the respect to all the apps included. That’s why we need to vote and comment... but not by creating separate requests :DAgain — I really appreciate the activity! But having these as separate entries helps team to prioritize and pick things up. We don’t need more noise, we need more concentrated feedback to get noticed.
Even though these are connected, a granular approach helps. I prefer cross-linking entries.
Would you mind me adding these directly into the main message?
Angelo, there are two related requests on the topic:

2. True Real-time file collaborative editing, with multiple users at once — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33149923
Which one do you think your request belongs to better?
