An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment And while the team still thinks if the idea worth implementing, Sergey Osokin finished his free SwapObjects script: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Item.md#swapobjects
Has useful options, quite handy, I use it all the time.The other viable option — paid ArtSwitcher plugin panel by Astute Graphics. Support more objects than two in a selection, has fitting options, etc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5FmCyJ2szk
An error occurred while saving the comment Allen, there is a script to help you with swapping fills and strokes
https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Color.md#cyclecolors
Also check out his other color-related scripts at that page.He also has a script to Swap Objects, but I believe it’s not exactly completed, so it’s not published yet.

An error occurred while saving the comment Jazel, do you by any chance have Magnet app installed?
If yes — can you please try to exit it and check if it fixes the behavior? -

2. Open file that is already open deletes unsaved changes without prompt — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/33872917An error occurred while saving the comment Brittnie, does it still happen for you? I try and the file stays, doesn’t get replaced with an saved state.
Please comment back.An error occurred while saving the comment Lars, do you still have this problem happening?
When I check it, Ai just focuses the opened file, but does not read it anew from the drive, replacing the unsaved one.
Do you refer to a local file, not the one across a local network, or a cloud file?An error occurred while saving the comment Well, I suppose it was not an error message, but a warning you are going to loose the data...
Hope it will never happen to you again, but next time please try to capture it and share more details. Fingers crossed!An error occurred while saving the comment Can’t confirm. If I open the same document form the explorer, while it is already opened and changed in Illustrator, it just gets activated for me there, no data gets lost :)
Can you please provide more info?
Does it always happen for you? Where do you store these files? Which version are you using? What is your OS specifically?
Does it happen in the Beta version, or in the released one only? Anything else that can help to reproduce it by the devs?AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment ...and you are 'quick these days to click ok on any dialog box', including this warning message :)
The idea is fine though, I remember having duplicates opened too -

An error occurred while saving the comment Stefan, does it still happen? Do you refer to the Home screen and the thumbnails for the recent files there?

An error occurred while saving the comment Not sure how the system works on Macs, but in the screenshot I can clearly see 'Folder shared with File Sharing'.
What is the folder? What files do get end up there?And in general — does this happen still?

An error occurred while saving the comment Spencer, do you still have this problem?
Does it mean that you have your Glyphs panel sized normal, but when it pops, it’s always resized to the full extent? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Recent Files panel... I don’t think it exists anymore.
Not sure one can call it now. Can you? -

An error occurred while saving the comment This happens for me as well from time to time with many documents open — the more I have, the longer the time this 'mixed-up- state stays active. Sometimes it’s a second, sometimes much longer.

An error occurred while saving the comment RY, interesting. What was the app and what do you have in mind? I must confess I know what SDF is, but never heard of ADF before.

An error occurred while saving the comment Also there is the script that can help you to average colors for selected objects: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Color.md#averagecolors
An error occurred while saving the comment Jeff, do you know you can use Magic Wand for this?
Double-click the tool icon to open the dedicated panel where you can set the tolerance. Just asking.
If you do know, please elaborate on why you prefer accessing it via Select Same Fill command instead of pixel-hunting (that’s my guess why). -

An error occurred while saving the comment Renan, while creating a symbol, you can choose if it should be a dynamic or a static one (you can also change this in a chosen symbol’s options later, using the command in the Symbols panel’s menu).
If a symbol is dynamic, you can pick Direct selection tool, click into any object within a symbol’s instance (and use Shift to select several, or just marquee — easier to do when isolated) and change their appearances. You can even apply effects, that is the appearance can be complex, not basic.
You can read more about it here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/symbols.html
Please try it and comment back.An error occurred while saving the comment Renan, symbols work just like that.
The problem with the current Symbol solution is that it’s limiting the object structure. A symbol has to be basically a group, nothing can be interlaid between its parts, it can’t span across several layers, etc..But other that this it’s pretty much the same thing I read in your comment. Symbols can be flipped, scaled, transformed... recolored partially even, if it’s a dynamic symbol.
An error occurred while saving the comment Philipp, Illustrator offers two ways to deal with this problem:
1. Symbols — requires planning beforehand
2. Select > Start Global Edit (or the 'Start editing similar shapes together' button in Control panel) — this one tries to search for copies (taking size, rotation, and appearance differences into consideration, if chosen in a dropdown in the Control panel), making temporary symbols out of them.Have you tried Global Edit? Does it work for you? If it does not — why exactly? If yes — what would you like to improve?

It seems like using Magnet app together with Illustrator breaks something. Try to it for now (sadly, it is reported Ignore option does not do it).
An error occurred while saving the comment So far it’s not clear who spoils the party, the Magnet’s implementation or the quirkiness of the Adobe’s platform...
At least it’s a solution we can all use for now.An error occurred while saving the comment Do you use the Magnet app?
An error occurred while saving the comment Dimitris, if it’s the latest 29.1 build, it can be not a Mac Beta problem.
Does this problem look similar to what you area experiencing — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49133510 ? -
