    When the Discover panel got added into Illustrator, I hoped it would work the same way.
    We can call it with a hotkey (F1), it’s type ready, it gives results while you type, it searches all at once: tools, top menus, help articles... it highlights the menus also.

    But then I realized it’s far away from being anything usable.
    1. It’s not a panel, but a window, and there are problems with focusing it
    2. It’s SLOW. Instead of instant results of a fuzzy search, we wave to wait, sometimes several seconds. Sometimes just nothing happens, and it shows the previous result (see image 1). Sometimes typing more helps, sometimes not, and I have to relaunch it get my results (see image 2).
    3. It does not show you hotkeys, so it does not educate you
    4. It does not search everything. We have a whole zoo of panels’ flyout menus, and accessing these is still MOUSE ONLY — in 2023. Try to toggle Scale Strokes and Effects with it, yeah.
    5. Down arrows keys to move the cursor to the results sometimes (most of times) just FAIL.

    So yeah, this panel still sucks.

    There are several third-party solution I know of.

    First, it’s Finder extension by n8ivestudio, but, unfortunately, it’s still is semi-closed Beta. There is no link even I can share.

    Then there is a command panel by Josh Duncan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhh_Dvfs0ro

    And I bet there are more. Still Discover sucks :(

    At least Illustrator should learn to offer a choice, when we paste object with the same named style from one document into another, where a style with the same name already exist... Now Ai just adds a number to it, while it could have been asking us about replacing one or keeping both! Per style, or all at once, just like with files.

    Eddie, if you still have the original document with this unduplicated text — perhaps you can make a copy of it, but delete everything else, to protect the data? I’d really prefer it get fixed... I’m glad the workaround exists, but I don’t like the bug still exists I’d also love to learn more about the difference it makes if you select this differently.

    Eddie, this is not the first time this bug crawls in Ai, but it’s been fixed almost immediately the last time...
    Which version are you using?
    Can you reproduce it in a new document?
    Can you share a test file with this particular text piece only?

    Just to test — what if you don’t use Type > Create Outlines, but instead apply the Effect > Path Outline Object — do bullelts stay?

    Indeed, if one uses the Direct Selection to marquee a dynamic symbol fully, Illustrator treats it as selecting all elements of it, not as selecting the symbol itself. It makes sense, but I personally see how it can be inconvenient.
    However, I don’t understand why Direct Selection is used... I’d use Group Selection instead — it does not select anything inside of a dynamic symbol and treats it as a whole. You are just one Opt/Alt key away from it working as expected — hold it and Direct Selection toggles into Group Selection.

    I don’t actually think selecting all parts of a dynamic symbol should become a selection of a symbol. On the contrary, many users ask to stop doing the same thing for selecting points, when selecting all the points in a path hides point-specific buttons in Control... similar problem happens when you select all objects in a group when isolated, and Ai treats is as if a whole object is selected (although we are inside of it). So I don’t think Direct Selection should be changed here.

    Another way to let symbols selected whole when you already made a selection — Select > Inverse, twice. But this, again, whille select ALL partially selected objects whole, not only symbols.

    Manuel, I can’t say I understand you clearly.

    Stroke Width tool works with brushes — what problem do you have with the combination of these two ? Please elaborate.

    Then, it is possible to align stroke asymmetrically — just hold Alt, or double click a width marker if you want to use a precise value.

    Finally, you say it does not work in some cases — can you please demonstrate a case like this, and share a test file, so that a team can understand the circumstances to improve the experience?

    Saman, can you please share a short recording of it, to illustrate the behavior?
    Do you mean on canvas (which is a completely different problem then and should be reported separately), or in the Layers panel?
    Also — please check if you have Object Selection by Path Only disabled in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display.

    Jakub, what is the result at your side after you do all the steps?
    Can you attach some screenshots, please? I can’t say anything wrong happens at my side. Color values don’t change, the displayed colors don’t change...
    Can you also share a screenshot of you Color Settings as well?

    Ah, I get it now.
    Sure! Ai does not offer this form the box, but there is an external solution you can use to achieve the same effect — Extend Path effect form Astute Graphics plugin suite. See the GIF attached.
    The suite costs money, but it has a ton of useful tools inside. It’s up to you. You use RubberHose, after all.

    Note that I had to add another copy of the blue stroke to have a round cap from one side only.

    Anyway, a worthy request. Voted!

    Grégory, can you please share an example? I’m not sure I know of the 'reduce path' thing in Æ.
    RubberHose though I am aware of. If you want to apply several strokes to one path, you should open Appearance panel and use it to add as many of those as you like. Does it help? If not — can you please explain the request further?

    There is a way to covert a document to a profile needed.
    You have to embed a profile into a document first, then change the working color space, then try to open the document (make sure though you have Profile Mismatch 'Ask When Opening' checked in Illustrator’s Color Settings). Illustrator will then ask you if you want to convert the colors for the document or leave them unchanged.
    This is not a straight way, but it should work. However, just a command is welcome.

    Which of these two monitors are the leading one? Is Ai opened on a secondary or the main one?
    Does the behavior change if you move the app frame to the other dsiaply?

    This is just a workaround, an existing solution. The suite is not cheap, but it offers much more than just one effect, hence the price.
    As far as I know personally, there are no other roughening effects exist for Ai. People try to utilize the native Roughen + ZigZag, and uses premade brushes. None of these do the effect Perturb does, the don’t 'wobble the shape with a grid'. Something can be done manually, with and envelope distortion, but it’s hardly easy to setup.

    But yeah, that’s a descent request. Upvoted. We need more tools like this.

    There is a Perturb effect from Astute Graphics plugin suite, which does something different than Roughen.
    Roughen is way too straightforward, yep. Can you share the examples of the look you are after? It’s hard to discuss a look without showing anything.

    Jeremy, when you do open these — do you just hit enter after making a selection of files? or do you drag-n-drop them into the app frame? If you drag-n-drop — which file do you drag by?

    I am rechecking this behavior in Windows 10, selecting files 1-2-3 consecutively, followed with Enter... and I get a whole zoo!
    Sometimes they open as 1-2-3, sometimes as 1-3-2, sometimes as 3-2-1, sometimes as 3-1-2! The same exact routine! And sometimes only 3-2 get opened, despite 1 is definitely in the selection.

    I have more uniformity and predictability if I drag-and-drop. The file I drag by gets opened first, and all others get opened in the descending order. So if I drag by 2, I get 2-1-3. And if by 1 — 1-2-3. Dragging by 3 gives me 3-1-2. So I learned the routine and control myself.

    It does not mean it’s the correct way and Enter-way should be random. So voted.

    Kris they never broke it, as far as I understand. They just didn’t fix it fully. Selecting all children in an isolation should not be treated as selecting the whole parent, not only Appearance-wise (which is now fixed), but for all other means, including Transform Each.
    Another thing that behaves like this — try to isolate a group, select all and hide the selection. Ai hides the group, but I persoanlly expect it to hide only children, not the parent group.

    Kris, this is true, and, unfortunately, is expected :(
    When all objects are selected in an isolated group, Ai treats the selection as the whole group.
    There was a similar problem, when selecting all objects in an isolated group lead to treating is as a group in Appearance: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/34344712-selection-of-all-objects-inside-a-group-instead-se
    It was fixed, and now only children get targeted when Cmd/Ctrl+A is pressed when isolated, not the parent...
    ...but it does not get applied to Transform Each :(

    Selecting all children in an isolated group is treated as selecting the whole group in Illustrator, yeah. So the behavior OP describes, with 'the whole group transforming towards it's central point' is actually the whole group really doing that :/
    ...but at the same time, if we do select all the children the same way and alter the opacity — it gets applied to the children, not their group (which I think is correct, since I fought for this change)! So Ai should be consistent with it.

    As for the sublayers, like in the Mait’s case...
    It is weird. Sublayers are just nested layers. But Transform Each indeed treats them as objects, transforming each sublayer as if it was a group.

    I think these are two different problems, but both are wicked.
