Yes, the Recolor dialog does not have its own undo stack, and all changes are permanent. Since Recolor is often used as an experimentation tool, this behavior limits the freedom and forces users to avoid it and loose applied settings.
The team is now aware of the situation and hopefully some changes will be made.

As stated in the comments, one can place a library item as an unlinked copy with Opt/Alt+dragging on canvas. To embed linked copies, a user can press the Embed button in Control / Properties panels, or choose Embed Image(s) command from the Links panel's flyout menu.

Do you know about alt-dragging items out of the library to embed them rather than link them?
Sorry if that's not the issue you're referring to, the above works fine for me.

Illustrator CC 2017.1.0 (64bit) Windows
1) make a new action
2) Insert menu item > enter the name of a custom script
4) Check that the action successfully runs the script. It should work.
3) Save actions, save the file
4) Restart Illustrator.
5) Try to run the action again; fail. Note that it's now empty, with no link to the script.I've reproduced this bug on my colleague's computers too (we have the same scripts).

I agree that the reference point should be part of the transform controls. Personally I do use it mostly for rotation, but it bugs me that 1) I have to use the rotation tool, and 2) that it resets on leaving the rotation tool.
So yeah, I want the reference point to be part of the transform controls, and I want its position to persist with the object when I move it after leaving the transform controls. That would allow me to set custom rotation points for nested grouped objects, a bit like rigging a character.
The benefits of this are extensive to say the least (eg. creating a library of editable jointed characters), particularly if the feature also worked when exporting to After Effects...

Hi Egor!
Sounds highly familiar – lots of key bindings for various ‘Select Same’ commands, lots of time juggling between them, and locking and hiding unwanted stuffs. I also use a bunch of scripts for selecting text by size and by typeface (although that’ll be better once they roll out the fix for the bug that brakes actions containing scripts). Though it starts off manageable the extra complexity means extra time wasted on extra selection malarkey.
I work on large, detailed illustrated system maps where all the objects relate in a conceptual taxonomy. Hacky work-arounds (eg. giving objects subtly unique colours or appearance attributes) don’t cut it (and are so annoying anyway).
Having the ability to fine-tune selections, for example by object type and by appearance attribute, would be a real blessing. Even more so if we could define our own labels for object types and add them into the searches…
If I get a moment this week I’ll mock up an example for what this might look like.
Cheers,

Ah right - it's valuable to me because I spend all day in Illustrator working on very large, complex compositions which require frequent alterations, and I currently spend a lot of time clicking on bits in order to change appearances or apply transformations etc.

To have strokes around your linked images, you should do some additional steps:
1. Apply a stroke (obviously)
2. Open Appearance panel
3. Focus the applied stroke attribute
4. Apply Path > Outline Object effect
It should be placed 'inside' of the stroke attribute, not the object itself. You can always drag-n-drop it if you missed.
Why does it work?
The image does not have a path for a stroke to be applied to. If you aplly the effect to the image directly, its pixel data is replaced by a path around the bounding box. Applied to stroke, it give it 'rails' to be stroked along.
Not easy to grasp, but once you get it, Appearance panel becomes your best friend.

This is a super-important idea that would save us lots of time and enable new ways of working. For instance, we could use a script to export assets straight to the library.
At the moment we have tens of thousands of files on our local server that we can't access directly through the library panel. And we have tens of thousands of library items that we can't download or view locally. And we can't use a script to export assets to the library.
If CC Files and CC Libraries were joined up,

The latest Beta 28.8.0.37 now has this function back.
You can enable the mode using a button in Control Panel or in Properties, with the Artboard tool picked.
The option automatically enables Scale Strokes & Effects option temporarily.
As always, you can hold Shift to resize proportionally.
Please test it and comment back!

Currently, If I want to scale up a page from A2 to A1, I have to scale the artwork by 141% and wiggle it around a bit until it fits again. With highly complex files, this is really annoying!
So I totally agree, this would be a big help.

I'd like this to be customisable in preferences.
I fully agree that backing up libraries is essential. Without this, relying on libraries in ones workflow is a big risk. My preferred solution to this would be for Adobe to connect CC Libraries with CC files, enabling you to sync between the two, locally and on the cloud. The potential benefits of this are massive. There's a prominent feature request for this already...
I'm on the fence about groups and categories though. What would the interface for that look lik? At the moment we just give each library item a long name according to a naming convention, and then use the search feature to retrieve stuff. Mostly it works fine. But we have thousands of certain types of item (eg. figures, icons, buildings) which can make finding certain specific things tricky. Hmm.
I think tags/keywords for each item could be a good idea though.
