I suspect this may be one of the preferences that's only saved on a clean exit - if you are the kind of person like me who always has Illu open unless it's just crashed or you're manually quitting it to update it or some plugins, then try setting this, then immediately quitting.
I just checked and mine was still saving data recovery into a much older folder too; I changed it to the latest version, then manually quit, and it's still claiming to save to the newest directory. Guess I better add another thing to the list of "stuff to do in a major version update" that I keep next to the program.

@Sergey yeah that's pretty much exactly what I want, except as a live effect so I can apply it to a bunch of paths automatically:

Sometimes you just want to do a boolean operation that results in an open path, and you want to embed it in a complex appearance stack.
This could be an entirely new entry in Effect > Pathfinder, or it could be a switch added to existing pathfinder effects.

Yes please.
This should search all menu items and all tools, regardless of origin.
Native tool? It's in there.
Plugin tool? It's in there.
Native menu item? Plugin menu item? It's in there.
Stuff you've installed in the Scripts menu? It's in there.
My toolbar is overflowing. What was that plugin tool that does exactly what I need? I think its name had 'collide' in it? Oh hey yes I have a couple menu items with that word in it and a tool called 'colliderscribe' and it looks like I assigned a shortcut of shift-t to it for some reason and this is what its icon is in the toolbar and if I select it in the results list and hit return it's now the active tool.

This one's still hilariously annoying and still there in 29.3.
The only reason I'm not regularly swearing at this is because I went into Keyboard Shortcuts and removed the shortcut for the Perspective tool so I would never invoke the **** thing again. I've been using this program as my main art tool for *twenty five years* and turning this stupid widget off was a giant pain ********** for multiple years until I finally nuked the shortcut.

Weird, I just got email telling me this has a new status because it is supposedly something I supported, but it is not - I never even *use* the New Document window this is referring to, I'm still using the "legacy File New interface".
Something's broken in Uservoice I guess?

oh since I've been asked a couple of times privately since that last comment: Mostly the rough edge in Sergey's rename script is UI stuff, especially the fixed dialogue size, which I believe is kind of down to the UI stuff Adobe makes available to scripts being pretty rough. In terms of functionality it’s done what I’ve needed quite handily; cloning it in Illustrator, except with a resizable window, would be a *heck* of a good start.
ALSO:
Note that his script renames not just artboards, but also layers and selected items. It would be delightful if the native "rename" functionality this feature request involves building was available for all of those places, as well as everywhere there's a list of things - ideally every single palette that has a list in it should have a 'rename' button in its bottom edge, or maybe a 'rename' item in its menu! If you implement this for just *one* kind of entity that we have a collection of, we *will* start asking for it everywhere else. I wouldn't be surprised if there's *already* separate requests out there for renaming swatches, styles, layers, brushes, etc.

Sergey's script is a pretty good start but it has a lot of little rough edges. Put this in Illustrator.

Sergey's script is a decent workaround but it has some rough edges. Get this into a requestor summoned by the Layers palette's menu.

Does After Effects have one of these? I don't think it does, I just see a plugin for it. Are they working on one? Go ask 'em. Maybe get a joint Illustrator/AE effort going so that they work the same, split it across both teams' budgets?

I've been using a lot of gradient strokes lately and I am *so* tired of typing numbers in the Gradient panel to set their angle. So, so tired.
Wikipedia tells me the gradient tool predates gradient strokes by about four years, but it's been *thirteen* years since both of them existed and maybe it's time to finally make the gradient tool know something about gradient strokes?

I still still still want this.
I've included a sample file to demonstrate why this makes me sad.

I still really want this. I've probably wanted this for a decade now. At least. I just never got around to asking for it here until 2022. I might have even asked for it in the old bug/feature database.
I've *finally* found some workarounds involving putting the entire clipping group in another group and applying a complex appearance to the entire group, but I have to add a Pathfinder Divide effect with 'remove unpainted artwork' unchecked, followed by a Pathfinder Add effect, to *every stroke or path* I want to apply to the clipping mask, because Illustrator wants to remove the clipping path from consideration for these strokes and paths otherwise, and that's a hassle.

Yeah this would be nice.
I mostly work with lots of named graphic styles so a thing I do a lot is alt-click on a style, which adds all the appearance attributes to the bottom of the current stack, then spend a few minutes figuring out *which* attributes I actually want from the fifteen strokes/fills I just added, and deleting the rest. Being able to pick just one or two would be super great.
