Hi Everyone,
The fix has been rolled out and is available in our latest release build – 29.3.0 which is available worldwide now.
Illustrator will now allows to change gradients of the Live Paint selections, using Gradient tool.
The annotator won’t show up when you do this, but you will see the changes immediately if you have GPU Preview and Real-Time Drawing and Editing options enabled in Preferences.
What’s new in 29.3: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/whats-new.html
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback.
An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Tell me, Isael :) The frustration and the desire to have better tools is what motivates me here. Sometimes I feel an extreme rage, and some of my messages are even more venomous. Argh! It's completely OK to discuss it, and no offence is ever taken.
Perhaps I should have phrased the status differently, to avoid confusion...
As for importance options — no control whatsoever over these, since it's a standard UV's choices.
Having Live Paint in Inkscape would be nice to have as an alternative (it always is), but I doubt it's an easy challenge. Requires a lot of math and familiarity with Beziers. I'd not venture into it myself.
And CS5 is impossible to legally purchase, true :(An error occurred while saving the comment Isael, sadly, it's not me who makes these fixes. The very little I can do here is to change the status back to 'unfixed' (and I did) and make a report to the team (which I made). Alas, 'an administrator' is not 'a developer' :( it's up to product managers to make decisions on what to pick for fixing, and UserVoice is a tool they use to prioritize things, among other reasons.

An error occurred while saving the comment In fact, I believe this is a bug....
When Live Paint selection is done, we can pick Gradient tool, but it won't affect 'Live Paint Select' object we have. Voted.An error occurred while saving the comment It's Live Paint object, right?
How are you trying to do it?
You need to pick Live Paint Selection tool (Shift+L is default hotkey), click the area with a gradient (it will highlighted with a dotted pattern) and then set an angle you want in the Gradient panel.
Does it work for you this way?An error occurred while saving the comment It works for me. I select the part with Live Paint Selection Tool and change angle in Gradient palette. You can't use Gradient tool, that is correct, it would be nice if you could. Is this what you meant?

An error occurred while saving the comment ...but nobody objects against Ctrl + Plus, which should be Ctrl + Equals? :)
I can both agree with you (that’s why I upvoted this), saying 'Photoshop does it properly'...
...but at the same time the problem is larger than it seems. Photoshop solves the zoom ambiguity (and more than this) by allowing assigning several different hotkeys to one command. Ai can’t. If this get solved, than it won’t be a need to substitute symbols. Would you agree?An error occurred while saving the comment This is actually correct, but it requires an explanation.
See, in Keyboard Shortcuts dialog it says Ctrl+' (and other similar commands) — properly... but then there is a second column which tells what symbol is going to be shown — because this one is the one shown at the top half of the key, and this is where letters sit. And it’s easier to memorize, for most and for some users.
Compare it to the Ctrl+- and Ctrl++ (Zoom Out and Zoom In): although one is technically Ctrl+= WITHOUT Shift, and the other could be Ctrl+_ WITH Shift, Ai still uses Plus and Minus to display them in the menu.
Good news is — you can customize it manually.
Open the dialog, focus the " symbol in the column and type ' — this would replace it in the menu.
The tricky thing is to replace it back with " — Ai probably won’t detect it, be warned.This page — https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/customizing-keyboard-shortcuts.html (under 'Define new keyboard shortcuts') — explains it like this:
... In the Symbol column, type the symbol in the menu or tool tip for the command or tool and then select OK. You can use any of the characters allowed in the Shortcut column.

An error occurred while saving the comment I would not say there a re 'a bunch' of requests on scrubbing, I try to make them clump :)
I love the idea, respect the ferocity, agree with it, and want to add one comment — add knobs where there is a space to make one, and don’t do knobs like it’s done in Transform effect / Transform Each — occupying the full row. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator is able to batch actions for a specified folder.
Open one SVG (or any other format) file.
Open Actions panel.
Create a new action (it also starts recording it).
Run Save As and choose .ai format. Save the file.
Stop the action.
Then open the Actions panel’s flyout menu and locate Batch command (the very last item).
Make sure you have the correct set and the action chosen.
Choose the folder which has the files you want to convert to .ai
Specify all other options. You can also force another folder here — otherwise Ai will use the same folder you used to save the file while recording the action.
Hit OK and just let Ai to open and resave all the files one by one automatically for you.
Please reply back if it works. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Just to make sure this problem happens in 29.2.1 — can you try to downgrade? I know it’s never comfortable and takes time... another thing you can try is to reset Preferences (these tend to corrupt many things). I won’t advise you to install Beta, because it would get file associations, but this is another option still.
An error occurred while saving the comment Ileana, can you please check the View > Snap to Grid option? For Smart Guides to work it should be disabled.

An error occurred while saving the comment Oh yes.
The only way to correct this today is to select the text object, then open Paragraph panel, press 'See bullet options' or 'See numbered list options' button there (dropdowns), then click More options button (ellipsis), and then in the Bullets and Numbering dialog (for some reason it’s not in the Type > Bullets and Numbering menu!) tweak both Indent values — manually.
Pretty buried, right?I once tested another method — to apply Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform effect to an area type... After scaling it and using Object > Expand Appearance the text LOOKS as scaled correctly, and I can even make changes to the text, and outline it (convert to curves)... but it I move the object — the original values reapply.

Hello all,
This feature has been made available to you starting V 27.6.
Please give it a try and let us know what you all think!
An error occurred while saving the comment @Mike Choo, I don’t expect much form this dialog anymore.
The team obviously don’t have enough of real cases and users don’t really share examples of the names they need to get, offering solutions and to-do lists instead. That’s how out minds work :)But perhaps this script can serve you better?
https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Artboard.md#batchrenamer
It’s versatile enough and offers many placeholders, supports Regex.
The author responds to feedback and can include things you might need.An error occurred while saving the comment I like the approach Sergey Osokin uses in his BatchRenamer script:
https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Artboard.md#batchrenamer
(watch the video)
It allows to use a variety of placeholders in both prefix and suffix fields.
It does not have an ability to use the actual artboard numbers, but since they are always consecutive anyways (except for the dreaded bug with extra/missing numbers! https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/39220252-artboards-with-the-same-number) — one can choose an ascending or a descending order to number them.
As I see it, it covers all cases I might need for exporting assets/artboards.
Perhaps using coded placeholders might seem a bit technically, and one can prefer having dropdowns instead, — it’s OK. But since placeholders are common within a variety of renamer tools we have to use to workaround this problem, I assume it’s a level we can handle.
I’d like to know what others think of it.
Dropdowns or annotated placeholders?AdminEgor Chistyakov

Thanks for raising this up!An error occurred while saving the comment You mean to force or disable center points by default for all or some specific objects?

While these can indeed be adjusted now, the annotator is still missing.
I suppose it requires more hacking to make it work, but still I’d like to see the controls on canvas, to tweak the look and not remaking it from scratch each time.
