An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Fabrice, actually it’s an equivalent to resetting Preferences.
When Ai can’t find the folder, it builds one anew. Basically the same thing Ai does when the button in UI is pressed....An error occurred while saving the comment Have you tried to backup and reset preferences in 29.7?
There were several cases I know of when it helped.An error occurred while saving the comment Fabrice, GA 29.7 is not there in CCD for me, but when I check this in Beta 29.8 — it works :/
Please go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and check if these commands do have assigned shortcuts at all, under Menu Commands > Other Text specifically.
What happens if you change the current Set of hotkeys to another, your custom one (if you had one) to Illustrator Defaults?
Please help to investigate this. -

An error occurred while saving the comment I mean I don’t have an example I can demonstrate to showcase how essential this is.
The team has in mind the perpendicular snap, but so far it’s not there in Beta. Perhaps it can happen soon. Meanwhile — I use the Astute Graphics Perpendicular Line Tool plugin each day, really.An error occurred while saving the comment @KidCre8ive, for building graphics :) Branding, technical illustrations, floor plans, anything really. I won’t share anything, and in most times this is purely supplementary.

An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, before CS4 Document Setup had Width and Height there.
But switching to Artboard Tool with Shift+O (which is even shorter than Cmd+Opt+P) should display the artboard size in either Control or Properties panels. Add Enter after this — and you get the Artboard Options dialog, with Width and Height right there. Very similar to how it looked back then.
This is fast, easy to get used to (I had the same problem as you) and doesn’t need a new modal behavior you propose. -

The behavior differs on how the objects get hidden and selected. Jump into comments for the explanation if something like this happens for you.
An error occurred while saving the comment @del, they do when I check the behavior. I tried scaling a group with a hidden object with just bounding box, with dedicated Scale tool, transform it using Transform and other panels... in all cases the hidden object gets affected.
But there’s an important aspect you should know when trying, and Layers panel is there to help you.
Here’s a simple demo.
When you hide a child in Layers, Ai automatically excludes it from your selection — the square selection marker indicates this. So, if you scale the group after this, the red circles gets omitted.
But if you select a group with a hidden object (or click the circular target marker immediately after hiding a child, even though it’s not its intended purpose) — the hidden red object gets included.How does it behave for you?

An error occurred while saving the comment There is a newer Beta build, 29.9.0.14, released today — have you tried it already?
How does the general build behaves, 29.7.1? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Helina, does it happen in Beta (you posted in the Beta branch), or in the general 29.7.1 build?
Does zooming in/out removes the ghost parts? Panning?
Does it change if you disable GPU Preview from View menu (Ctrl+E hotkey by default)?
What is you hardware, GPU specifically? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Here’s my demo
An error occurred while saving the comment Exactly! I was sure I reported this... perhaps just mentioned elsewhere.
I learnt to workaround even — to create a dummy object, Select Inverse (to select everything but the dummy), Rasterize, Select Inverse again and delete the dummy. This is quite stupid, I know.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment A related request:
Groups Created from Outlined Text Should Inherit Text Object Names
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/50342727An error occurred while saving the comment Makes it, yes.
There is an existing request that intersects with this one in a sense:
Make option to generate compound paths instead of groups when text is outlined
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33627964The problem is that groups are ignored completely when a document is imported from PDF. Compounds allow to deal with theses outlined arrays better, because they are treated as a single entity.

An error occurred while saving the comment Tom-Kenneth, there are several ways to solve this task at the moment.
1. If you select a text object and run Object > Flatten Transparency with a default settings, Ai will break the text into lines.
2. If you need something like words, or individual letters VectorFirstAid paid plugin from Astute Graphics allows that.
3. Free scripts that do the same, but perhaps less reliable in some casesThere is general feature request you might want to upvote instead:
Break apart blocks of text into separate text objects: by lines, words, characters, outlines

An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed, Ton! Enabling 'Move Locked and Hidden Artwork with Artboard' does cause the bug for me.
An error occurred while saving the comment I can’t reproduce it at all, neither in 29.7.1 or Beta 29.9.0.6 — but I’m on Windows.
Can be OS-specific? Richard, you were using Intel Mac OS X 10.15.7, correct? -

Hello all,
The 'Apply to all' checkbox has been brought back in the Replace missing link dialogue.
'Apply to all' checkbox was removed when we introduced the 'Auto-relink' (search for missing links in this folder) functionality, as we though 'auto-relink' is going to take care of the 'replace all' workflow as well. But it didn't work as expected in few cases as pointed out by some of you.
Hence, with the latest release V29.2 (full roll out happens on Jan 9), we have decided to revert to the earlier experience whereby we are bringing back 'apply to all' checkbox and rolling back the 'auto-relink functionality.
Because of conflicts, both of these functionality cannot co-exist unless we make some significant changes to the relinking experience.
As we understand, 'replace all' was a important workflow for most of you, so we decided to quickly bring it back while working on the overall…
An error occurred while saving the comment @AUSA Design, I can’t reproduce it in both 29.7.1 and the latest Beta 29.9.0.6 — the option is there for me, at Windows 10.
Does anyone else have it missing?An error occurred while saving the comment "Search for Missing Links in This Folder" was an option for me, and I’m on Windows 10 as well... Was exactly in the same position at InDesign has it in, in the right bottom corner of the Place dialog, next to the Place and Cancel buttons. Doesn’t matter though, it’s gone now.
As for the relinking... again, works for me.
Here is what I do to check it:
1. I create a folder '1' and put three PNGs there
2. I link all three into a document
3. I relink the folder into '2'
4. Ai throws me a warning, 'some files are missing or modified, wanna update' — I chose Yes
5. It fails to find the link and offers to Replace or Ignore — I enable 'Apply to All', click 'Replace'
6. I locate the folder in the Replace dialog opened, choose no file and just click another 'Replace'
All three images get relinked.In case you want to replace several copies of the same image (or even different image) with another image at once...
Well, this is one of reasons this whole story with options being messed with happened in the first place.
There is a separate request for this, 'Relink / replace all instances of the same image at once' — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34174264InDesign treats copies of the same image as duplicates.
Illustrator does not. And 'Replace All' is just a controversial name for the command in this case, and different users expect different results because of this.Maddening, for sure!
Luckily for us, there are TWO FREE scripts we can use to avoid clicking the Replace button 154 times:
1. Fast Relink by Marat Shagiev: https://github.com/dumbm1/ai_scripts/blob/master/jsx/fast_relink.jsx
2. Relink All Selected by Carlos Canto and the community: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/relink-all-selected/td-p/9332967These were mentioned several times in comments below.
Please use them to save time!
Running scripts is easy — you can just drag-n-drop it in the Ai window, that’s it.
At least the team is now FULLY aware of the problem and all the uses we mean to have.An error occurred while saving the comment While the team does who knows what with this problem, I want to remind all about several existing free scripts (and everyone should use scripts, because suffering makes no sense) to solve this problem TODAY:
1. https://github.com/dumbm1/ai_scripts/blob/master/ord/fastRelink/fast_relink.jsx by Marat Shagiev
2. https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/relink-all-selected/td-p/9332967 by Carlos Canto and the communityFor the convenience, I attach these as .txt here, since UserVoice has a strict policy about scripts in attachments.
You need to rename them to .jsx.You don’t have to install them into Scripts folder even to access form File > Scripts even (but this would allow you to make an action with this script inside). you can just keep them where you want them and drag-n-drop them into Ai window when needed.
One of them should work. Just select images, run the script, pick one image and get all selected links replaced with this chosen image at once.An error occurred while saving the comment As the status says, a new way to handle links en masse is offered for testing.
It looks like the attached images show.My personal opinion is: I like where it’s going, but this looks pretty bloated, it breaks legacy workflows, and I don’t like the current version.
The decision to have names on separate lines I get...
And I understand why it has to be a column, and not three columns...
I just don’t find it anything elegant or easy to read. The name of the original missing link, duplicated twice, alternating like a sandwich, hardly makes it easy to see and grasp the idea between 'Current' and 'All' options.Then... it just doesn’t work it seems.
1. I linked an image and made 10 duplicates of it
2. I renamed the file and got the dialog #1
3. I chose to Replace and picked the renamed file
4. I set 'All instances' — so I expect to have all 10 copies of this image replaced with the renamed file.
But instead I get this 'Could not find the linked file' warning for each selected image. Why?If I select several duplicated linked images on canvas / in Links panel and choose Relink in the Links panel’s menu, and then pick 'All instances' option in Place dialog — it works... but it doesn’t replace only those duplicated I wanted to replace and selected, it replaces them ALL.
Yes, the name of the option says so.
But how can I replace only those I selected?As I see it, Apply to All checkmark should be brought back.
If enabled and Replace is clicked, the 'Current instance' option should just become disabled.
The name of the link should go to the dialog’s header, just like InDesign does it.I believe the options should be like these.
Replace [filename]:
— Current instance only (should be disabled if Apply to All was used)
— Selected instances (should be disabled if none were selected)
— All instances
'Search for Missing Links in This Folder' should be a checkmark, to distinguish it from 'Replace [filename]' choice.
If it gets ticked, all radio buttons above (or to the left of it) should become disabled and blank — since it’s a different thing altogether.
However, if unchecked, Ai should restore the choice made by user and not default it.
That is, if one clicked 'Selected Instances' and then enabled 'Search for...' — then 'Selected...' becomes blank and disabled.
But if 'Search for...' is toggled back — 'Selected...' must become active and picked.
And 'Search for...' should be disabled as well if no links are missing.An error occurred while saving the comment @ar designconcept
28.6 is not 28.8 :)
This is still only in Beta 28.8.0.43 or higher Beta build — not yet in the GA build.An error occurred while saving the comment Plus this proposal is just TOO DEEP. It’s a dropdown with three options! Why not a radio group with all three choices visible all at once?
I’d prefer to have these directly in the dialog BEFORE this one.
It’s a rather important choice, and pushing it below another choice, when we actively search for the file, won’t get noticed by many, even though some related options are already there...An error occurred while saving the comment Not enough.
InDesign has a dedicated 'Relink to Folder' menu command — which basically works as 'Replace + Search ... in This Folder', but doesn’t require to have links missing!
Here is the request about having it — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/39739852-add-relink-to-folder-to-the-links-panel-as-in — and notice a free script exists to do it — https://github.com/sky-chaser-high/adobe-illustrator-scripts#relinkToFolderThen, we might need to replace selected images (linked or not) with ONE another chosen link (this is exactly what users are crying about now) — but without using the mentioned 'delete to trigger the dialog' workaround (it IS a workaround).
And here is the request about having it — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34174264 ! Plus, again, there is a free script to do it — https://github.com/dumbm1/ai_scripts/blob/master/ord/fastRelink/fast_relink.jsx !What about the cursed Libraries, Batch relinking FROM a library?
There is a request — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31902295 . This time no free script, because Libraries is a barred bunker with no ESTK support (sigh).Why not giving dedicated menu commands for all of those, along with the redesigning 'missing' dialog?
So we have these command in Links’ menu:
Relink
Relink Selected
Relink to Folder
Relink File Extension
Relink from CC Libraries
Relink Selected from CC Libraries
Notice how it says 'Libraries' (like the panel is called and how InDesign spells it), and not 'Library'.
Notice Libraries are shoved into the bottom, because local is more important than cloud (and always will be), and that’s how InDesign handles it.An error occurred while saving the comment Adam, this one is a pretty recent change... They had the option at some point, but then dropped, because were not aware of the 'replace with one image' trick we started to use it for. The problem with the actual mass relinking to existing links was an old one, true, but this particular report is not about it.
And it IS going to be redeemed, as I am aware, soon enough. Fingers crossed.
An error occurred while saving the comment Demos are cool. Here is one showing how Fast Relink script works.
An error occurred while saving the comment CSievers, the free Fast Relink script by Marat Shagiev I mention in a comment in the link below, allows to avoid repetitive operations TODAY. I am not saying it’s a final solution we should be happy with, but it works.
InDesign’s 'Relink all instances of an image' works for one image only, while the script allows to select any images. Was Apply to All able to do that? I think I never tried even.
@ajabon grinsmith in the previous thread showed an interesting example with relinking many different images to another folder with different files having same names... but I believe this IS possible with the current 'Search for missing links in this folder', nope? Should recheck.
An error occurred while saving the comment BTW, there is this special dedicated request:
Relink / replace all instances of the same image at once
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34174264It won’t allow to achieve all the things users were able to do with Apply to / Replace All, as I see it, but anyway.

An error occurred while saving the comment Haris, how often do you overlap these and how does it happen? Just by moving them around, in a chaos of exploring?
What do you expect to happen if you release and drop a moved one if it get overlapped? A modal warning? An instant choice in it to undo? A 'shy' message (the gray one at the top, like Ai uses for 'live shape expanded' and other non-critical cases)?
Would you expect it change the cursor to 'forbidden' and refuse to get dropped at all, restoring the position automatically?
Please elaborate.

Fabrice, when it happens — can you please check Preferences > Type: Size/Leading, Tracking, Baseline Shift? What are these values? Are they something like 0.1 and 0?
