    Amen ! Illustrator should AUTOMATICALLY (by default) AT LEAST, fill in (and update) the colors and fonts used in each element of a design in it's metadata interface file as soon as those choices are made by the designer, rather than make the designer INPUT those descriptions manually. If the designer wants to change those automatic identifiers then he/she should have to go into the metadata file interface and "uncheck" the "lock" and then manually adjust the "description". But the default identification of colors and fonts should be AUTOMATIC. This should also be true whenever an .ai file is OPENED in Illustrator, not just when one is originally creating the .ai file.

    Too often, LAZY designers don't bother to enter that information before sending the .ai files to the client. Then, when the client wants to use the EXACT same colors and fonts at a printer, those colors and fonts are NOWHERE to be found (for the purpose of matching) and the "color matching" and "font hunting" games begin. This is INCREDIBLY irritating. I realize that the information MAY still be contained in the final RAW data file (but I don't know that for sure) ... but WHO has a "raw data file translator" to be able to FIND that information and understand what it means in ENGLISH so it can be successfully used ?? This should be the DEFAULT behavior in the native .ai file as well as EVERY OTHER export file type (.png,.jpg,.jpeg, etc. ) JUST FIX THIS !!!
