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…

ok the Apply to All is back but it's still NOT an ideal workflow: the ideal is the way Indesign works: where I can click on a link in the side panel, click on relink, choose a new file and check "apply to all" if I want all the instances to be changed. Simple, InDesign has it, WHY is Illustrator so backward?
Now in Illustrator if I have a linked image used 20 times in the file, I first need to modify the link name to something else so Illustrator prompts me with the “some files are missing or modified in the Links panel. Would you like to update them now?”
Only THEN, in the next warning screen that says “Could not find the linked file ***” you can click on Replace and check the famous APPLY TO ALL tickbox.
Why is it not possible to avoid this fake-name-change in the first place?? Why is it not possible to have the InDesign behaviour/interface? Please copy your own code from your sister software, it really cannot be THIS hard??An error occurred while saving the comment RV999

InDesign has an option to do this much easier but the developers of Illustrator are busy with stupid features and not with core functionality of the program, so this is the only work-around we have.. so here it is:
Best practices wen you start a new .ai file with links: Create first a v1 mother-folder, in it a WORK folder and in the WORK folder make a Links folder, don’t re-name it anything else. In the WORK folder you create a v1.ai file and link the images into the Links folder IN THAT WORK folder. If you want to link any image into that .ai file ALWAYS first copy the image into the Links folder and THEN place it into the .ai. This is important for your future sanity, trust me.
Now you want to make changes but keep the v1 version intact in case you need to come back to it: Make a v2 mother-folder, in it create a WORK folder. Then copy the v1.ai file in the WORK folder, rename it v2.ai but you will notice that the links are still connected to the v1 folder!!
How to make sure the links in the v2 search all at once in the v1 Links folder? You can re-link each manually but that is crazy time-consuming. If you try to just copy the Links folder from v1 to v2 Illu doesn’t automatically look there, it still looks in the old v1 folder! So how do you replace all the links at once?
So: Open the v2.ai
Open the v1 WORK folder and MOVE (not copy!) the whole (v1) Links folder to the v2 WORK folder
In the v2.ai that you have open in the background Illu will say it lost its links.
Click Yes>Replace and now you have an option to look in a new folder (check the little checkbox at the bottom ”search for missing links in this folder”), point it to the new location of the links in the v2 folder (manually navigate to the right folder or copy-paste the address of the correct folder in the top bar)Important: COPY BACK the Links folder to the v1 WORK folder so the v1.ai still has its links intact!
Is there a better way to do this? So to re-link ALL the links to a specified folder?

ADOBE PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to just be able to grab an anchor pint WITHOUT smart guides or "highlight anchors on mouseover" as both these options make my cursor snap to things I don't want to snap to. I just want to hover my cursor over the anchor point and grab it so i can move it. It is so BASIC I am pulling my hair here guys, please fix this!!

this still does not work and it's driving me crazy: a user must place the cursor EXACTLY at dead-center of the anchor to be able to grab it, it's painful how often this doesn't happen and destroys my workflow having to re-select the point so i can see the anchor over and over again.
There are several feature requests on this topic. PLEASE Adobe fix the selection tolerance -

So it’s obviously not fixed, and we all know it.
While the cursor gets changes into the horizontal/vertical two-headed arrow, the center handles for the bounding box indeed don’t appear, if the width/height of the art (here just an orthogonal line) is small enough.
Please continue to share you thought, screenshots, GIFs. It’s time to re-review this again.

I use my CADTools plug-in line to get around this bug but it is a CORE feature and Adobe should really listen tohow many people are affected by this :( C'mon Adobe, you can do it!

It's still a bug, absolutely idiotic "update" of the line tool, indeed the only way to use it is to NOT use it and just use the pen tool with two clicks but still.. i miss my old scalable line from CS6

I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 27.3.1 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

Yes this is absolutely bonkers that it has not been changed/improved to match the behaviour of InDesign as we all want for SO MANY YEARS!! Egor Chistaykov (admin) finally explained the confusion with the developers in this separate uservoice thread, please check it out https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/48498587--apply-to-all-checkbox-or-replace-all-button-ar
