An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Requires registration to download, won’t do.
Even the filename can’t be copied and is pushed into a webpage as an image.
Pretty bad UX :(
I can’t say Wetransfer.com is much better, but it doesn’t force registration. -

An error occurred while saving the comment There are several way to mirror in Illustrator.
And English, sadly, have to many synonyms for this, and it’s hard to tell who will remember which one... and I don’t know what language do you use for the UI.Ai has:
1. Reflect Tool (in the Rotate Tool’s tool group), and its dialog one can call with Enter key
2. Dedicated Flip buttons in Properties panel, in Transform section
3. Flip commands (in the Transform panel’s menu)
4. Object > Repeat > Mirror type of object, for having it live
5. An advanced way to flip art with a Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform effect (with a proper reference point set, 1 copy chosen, and Reflect X option enabled)Some of these are more prominent, some are less.
Can you locate them?
Please tell more about the experience you had. Where did you try to search for these? -

An error occurred while saving the comment This is both sad and relieving to hear... Without a crash report generated it’d be hard to track it. Perhaps the problem happens at the lower level then.
If it happens next time, please try to recall the details of your workflow at the moment and try to reproduce it.An error occurred while saving the comment Did you get a crash reported dialog when it crashed? Did you send it, if yes? Just in case — did you use the same exact email you use at UV, if yes (so that I can ask the team about it)?
Does it stay stable with other file? or new files? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Veronika, please tell more.
Do you have this often?
Do you have the latest Ai version?
Do you try to save locally on a disk or in the cloud?
Do you have permissions set for Ai to write on a disk?
Does it behaves the same if you try to use Ai-compatible PDF to save?
Can you reproduce this with a brand new file? does it differ form saving changes into an existing file?
What are your OS specs? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I confirm that.
I remember noticing it when using Pathfinder, to have separate sectors, but I never studied the problem.
Thank you for reporting this.So far I am seeing two somewhat simple workarounds:
1. Enable Gap Detection option in the Shape builder Tool Options — it’s usually is disabled by default
2. or tweak the tolerance in the Pathfinder Options, from the panel’s menu
...or scale the shape 10% — the gaps will become small enough for the Shape Builder to ignore them — and then scale back to 1000%.The reason why it happens is both simple and complex.
A circular ellipse with 4 points in any vector editor in not a REAL circle, but a close enough approximation of it. This is how Bezier curves work. Radii lines meantime have the exact lengths. You can check it with a normal ellipse, or by creating a polar grid with 4 sectors and checking the gaps in it.Technically Ai could have calculated a better approximation of a circle in these case, by adding more points for these... as an option, of course, to not break possible workflows users can have with this quite basic tool (not everyone would respect 5-pointed circles).
Take a look at these two related UV entries:
1. http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/34684633 — this is very the Ai team had to cheat to make live shapes to tell a lie about a diameter being a constant value, to hide the reasoning (after all, it’s complex enough to grasp). If once converts a live Ellipse into a path and rotates it — Ai will tell the truth, and the 'diameter' (width or height really) will cahnge.
2. https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33499646 — 'Circles in Illustrator are not accurate' ...well, they never are in Bezier’s math.

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you please share an example of the case when these points do get appear and to demonstrate what kind of alignment you have to do manually?
Also — can you check if you have Remove Redundant Points option enabled in Pathfinder panel’s flyout menu? When it’s one, Ai will try to remove extra points that don’t influence the curvature of a result, within the given precision.

An error occurred while saving the comment Justine, do you mean Contextual Task Bar or Properties?
If I had to perform this operation often, I’d create an action and record both commands and assigned a hotkey to it.
Have you tried this method? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Justine, can’t reproduce it the latest build, but on Windows.
What happens if you select Anchor Point tool specifically (it’s a solo tool that Ai switches to when we hold Opt/Alt when dealing with handles) — does it allow you to edit handles?
In your normal workflow, when you are getting a copy — what tool do you have selected? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Just to clarify:
1. Is this still a problem?
2. If it is, what language do you have chosen for the selected text in Character panel? Is it Dutch or something else? -

This feature is now available in all the public builds starting V 28.5. Please give it a try and let us know what you think!
An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, it is fixed now.

This feature is made available to you through all the public builds starting V 27.8. Please try it out and let us know what you think!
An error occurred while saving the comment The previously reported problem with ignoring the chosen filename is now resolved.
If I have several images selected and unembed them all, I get only ONE of them selected after the unembedding process is finished. Why not all previously selected?
An error occurred while saving the comment Now, if I have several images selected, and I try to unembed them all, checking the new option in the dialog, and I type a name I want to use ('filename', for example), I expect to have these names (at least):
filename 1
filename 2
filename 3
Instead, I get these files:
filename
AI_Image
AI_Image 1
This is not a sufficient result, at all.An error occurred while saving the comment Rasterino plugin from commercial Astute Graphics plugin pack can 'link embedded images', which is the same exact operation:

An error occurred while saving the comment I confirm.
As I see it, 'Undo' name is a generic term Ai uses in History panel when a command doesn’t have a dedicated handle assigned to display there. After all, History is still rather fresh for Ai, and it never had to have these names before.
At the very launch of it, more commands were just generic 'Undo'-s, but now it got better. Still some slips like this happen.
Thanks for reporting! -

An error occurred while saving the comment Just a white frame, even that thick, feels less noticeable. The current solution makes it more readable thanks to the overlapping...
Plus you just threw away 'Flat / Gradient' buttons, which have their use. And these can apply both to fill and stroke! Doubling these will feel as clutter.An error occurred while saving the comment More related requests:
1. "1 click" no stroke/fill — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34136629
2. Split color chips in Swatches diagonally, to simplify color picking — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/45772057
3. Change line color and fill color of groups in one click — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/43355862 — this is the one I made the mockup below for. Would you mind merging these?An error occurred while saving the comment The question remains though — where to put the icons here, when the toolbar has two columns? Overlay chips? I remember making this mockup (the second image), a year ago. I bet there was a similar request.
An error occurred while saving the comment I am enjoying the conversation, Steve. Thanks you for this excurse! I do agree with most of these, although I don’t have enough chances to verify these today. Used to be true at some point for sure.
Attributes I use still. I add Notes to objects, I change fill rule for compound paths (intentionally and not to fix the outlining of fonts), I toggle center points... Attributes has options other panels can’t host :) But overprints are less common now.
Back to the topic — I can’t imagine Ai team would make changed to the Fill / Stroke selector anytime soon.
The solution I can offer (theoretically) is to have two scripts, each one removing either a fill or a stroke. Then to bind these to custom hotkeys (via Actions or custom solutions like AHK (Windows, free) or Keyboard Maestro (Mac, paid)). I bet these exists even.An error occurred while saving the comment Steve, what version did you start with?
The panel was there in Ai 10 I remember the most form old version. And in-panel editing of attributes happened in CS3 or CS4...
Freehand didn’t have it like this in a tool panel, but had a somewhat similar in Swatches — either fill or stroke to assign a swatch to...
Xara, InkScape, Corel — they all use a modifier or right-click (now as a option).I wish I could know for sure.
Anyway — it is my guess on the way the selector looks, and I should have clarified that. Have no confirmation on this.An error occurred while saving the comment I understand the reasoning behind the request, yep. Flow is important.
Why overlapping? A design choice to visualize the currently focused attribute. In Illustrator you can have only one or another in focus.
Why? Because this selector is a simplified version of the more complex and powerful appearance system most users are not aware of (sadly).If you open Appearance panel, you will see we can set more than one stroke and fill for an object.
Selecting any attribute in the panel will focus the Fill and Stroke in the selector (but not vice versa).
Every effect applied, swatch chosen, parameter tweaked will apply only to this selected attribute (or a top one if you have selected several) — otherwise Ai would have to guess out intentions, and it never works well in any system.An error occurred while saving the comment Same deal, I am almost out of F-keys, only a couple of slots left, for temp actions.
There is an existing request to allow us to use other modifiers in general: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34616848
Please upvote it and share among those who might be interested in it (so far it has criminally low vote count).X is an intended solution to focus fill and stroke and this requires attention, to see which one is active.
It make it a 'relative' hotkey. That’s why a request to have 'absolute' hotkeys to focus an attribute exists.The buttons you offered are just one way to deal with the core problem, and it requires aiming. Useable in some times for some users.

An error occurred while saving the comment I see now what you mean, thanks!
Firstly, the tool panel you have a screenshot of has the 'Fill Stroke' control, but misses the 'Coloring' control (other two available being Draw and Screen modes). One can toggle these at the bottom of the Edit Toolbar dropdown panel, called by 'three dots' button at the bottom of each tool panel, like the attached image shows.
Secondly, I see what you want to achieve with this — to get rid of the modality and to be able to remove any attribute of two without the need to activate it first. This reminds me of the approach other editor use, where we can set fill with a left click, but stroke with a right click, or by using a modifier to change the attribute set.
There is a separate request about this method: Absolute mode that always sets a fill a single click and stroke with the Alt+click/right click — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/44104935
Another related request is Add Focus Fill and Focus Stroke commands we can assign hotkeys to — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47384021The spots you chose though to place the 'none'-s are quite neat :) I am upvoting it.
An error occurred while saving the comment Don’t get it, sorry.
Perhaps by 'LHS toolbox' (there is no LHS mode in Ai, only HSB — close, but different) you mean Color panel with HSB mode chosen?
If yes, then it does have the 'None' button with a red diagonal to remove the currently focused fill/stoke attribute.Or do you mean something else entirely? Please provide a screenshot and kindly explain the need.
This one doesn’t.
At your other report though 123pan does not allow to download several files at once.
But the only one — allows to.
Will try to reproduce it.
