An error occurred while saving the comment Yep. In a mixed selection of both embedded and still linked images Ai disables the button (sadly)... And Links doesn’t offer a way to separate and quickly select one type or another.
As a workaround I can offer a free Select Menu plugin (https://rj-graffix.com/downloads/plugins/#selectmenu) — it adds a pack of commands,, including Select > Object > Basic Art Types > Placed Art. This should speed up your workflow a bit (and you can assign a hotkey to it or wrap into an action, to speed it up).
As for the unlocking the showing the locked and hidden ones... I suppose it goes way to against what Lock and Hide are for, select All can’t select these.
But perhaps a dedicated command in Links panel (now a full clone of the button in Control) can be altered to work with none selected at all to offer some global choices, instead of being just grayed out.An error occurred while saving the comment Protecting locked images from embedding is actually a correct thing to have, but I agree that AI should provide a way to embed locked too right there, when you embed them, without you making steps 4–6.
Multi-core is still a better thing to have, sure.

An error occurred while saving the comment Meanwhile you can use VectorFirstAid plugin by AstuteGraphics that can do it and even more.
Also, try the free script by Carlos Canto:

Fully — via VectorFirstAid plugin by AstuteGraphics.
Voted though.An error occurred while saving the comment Lisa, there’s a plugin that does exactly what you want — VectorFirstAid by AstuteGraphics

An error occurred while saving the comment Text mode is one of several existing modes, and I can’t say AI does a perfect job to signal some commands would work or not or change the behavior in different modes enough. This command is one of them. Create Outline works in general mode, but not in the text mode, because it works with objects only, not with characters you selected. Ai doesn’t offer splitting text in characters, lines, or paragraphs (there’s a request for this, BTW: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/40953034 — an there are many free and paid scripts and plugins that offer this, most powerful being the Astute Graphics’ VectorFirstAid’s Break Text at Selection — https://docs.astutegraphics.com/vectorfirstaid/vectorfirstaid-panel/vectorfirstaid-panel-flyout-menu). And since Ai doesn’t offer it from the box, it can’t allow to outline a portion of text, breaking the flow of text (imagine selecting one word in the very middle of an area type text...)
Anyway, sorry for ranting, the request makes total sense, but it solely depends on the missing functions requested above.
Crosslinkining, upvoting! Thanks -

An error occurred while saving the comment Can’t confirm, but I’m on Windows.
Perhaps it’s OS-specific, or the settings I used differ.
George, does it happen in any file you try? a new one? in both RGB and CMYK?
Can you please share settings used, test files, some screenshots? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Yep... each dialog with a progress bar need a Cancel (and it should work!)
There are a couple related requests:
— Implement a "quit function" command: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/42986886
— Cancel button in progress bar windows should work: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35247106AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment That’s an interesting approach... There are many votes for making the mode visually more aggressive, so that it’s instantly clear if it’s turned on or not, here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31907047 (and the hotkey to just avoid digging in the menu). The mode is powerful, but indeed, we often need to use it once and immediately disable.
But this should replace the current approach, I believe... as usual, there can be a lot of users who are just happy with the permanent mode and they just don’t say anything. Making these 'two modes for a mode' can be a tough thing to make easy to grasp and use... instead of reducing complexity it can create more...
But I love the idea anyway. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Mick, Ai offers several .ait templates for this.
Basically, renaming any .ai document into .ait would turn it into a template — launching it from Finder/Explorer would create a new unnamed doc with a full copy of what the template has inside, including layers. The artboard size and the number of artboards would be fixed too, but it can be changed later.
Does this method suits you? If not — please tell more about your tasks. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Larry, the Shear is not supported as an inherited value, nor by path or even live shapes (rectangles, ellipses, stars, etc.), so the values is not stored within it and you can’t input one, see it in the field, and then change it back to zero, like we can do with angle value for live shapes. Shearing is a 'final deformation'. Therefore each mouse wheel rotation applies 1° and it keeps shearing the changes path again and again, rather than changing the original shape.
So I’d call it not a bug, but rather a request to support shearing for live shapes. For simple non-live-shape paths it won’t be applicable anyway, same as rotation, but live shapes would definitely benefit from storing it.An error occurred while saving the comment I confirm.
Rectangle (being a path with a custom 'live shape' attribute, allowing it to have rectangle-specific control in Transform and elsewhere) looses the 'live shape' status when a Shear value is applied to it.
It looks like these just don’t support shearing.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment It's kind of weird idea. I understand why you want this. But 'Object' is not a unchangeable thing. I can cut segments, join them, move anchors — how would this reflect on 'object's' shear/rotation/scaling? What if I take rectangle (path in fact) and manually move it's anchors away from center, making it larger without scaling it? (I do this more often then scaling) And what if I try to 'reset scaling' then?
When I wish to control rotation after some time, I use 'Transform' effect. A lot of then, stacked. I also wish that I could combine interactivity of Rotate toll with an ability to edit rotation automatically. Like Some option for a toll would create this Effect for me. This can be done.
But your idea is just not that well-formed yet. You have my vote still. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Dina, I thought this at first... but I think users mean to have the list of fonts they can scroll without making the dropdown pop, like a panel with a list, similar to something like Brushes, Graphics Styles, Text Styles... to make this dropdown persistent.

Using a separate Character panel helps to make it pop where you need it to be. Have you tried it? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Doesn’t happen for me with 30.5.1 — but on Windows 10...
@Tomotaro Osakaya, I wonder if you can reproduce it all the time, with any document, after restarting also... I realize, however, that you downgraded already. Thanks for the report! -

The team is aware of this problem.
It’s a Windows-only bug, not specific to the latest build.
As soon as anything changes, someone from the team would leave a comment or update the status of the report.
An error occurred while saving the comment I am able to recreate a similar behavior:
1. Create one artboard and draw something
2. Save a document
3. In Export As choose PNG, disable Suffix (but keep Use Artboard)
4. Choose a different name than the doc has, confirm
5. Try to Export As again using same settings, choose the same name as the already exported doc hasHere Ai should have checked if the given name — without the suffix added — exists, and warn about the match, but it doesn’t.
I’m pretty sure this was reported previously and we had similar problems before.
I’ll try to locate older reports and test it with older builds. -

As reported, the issue has been resolved with the Typeface 4.3.1 update. Hope the Typeface team comments on the nature of changes made.
An error occurred while saving the comment Thank you so much for the clarification, and the fix in the first place. So the Ai team didn’t offer any clarification and the fix is a patch, rather than a two-sided solution... sad to hear this. Let’s hope it would stay stable at least.
An error occurred while saving the comment Leigh, I’m told the engineering team is investigating this is planning to reach the Typeface team to discuss it further. Fingers crossed!
An error occurred while saving the comment It’d require both of them, Adobe and the Typeface team working together, I believe... let’s start with the 'have broken' — how? What goes wrong and how exactly?
The Ai team would need all the information you can provide to start investigating. I’d advise writing the other team too, to make them aware.
Why not group Swatches and Character together and have them both displayed at once? Illustrator allows to customize the interface to your global and current needs, save setups as workspaces and toggle them.
