Change ID's file locating from absolute addresses to relative
When I change the name of my project folder, housing all of my ID and art/font folders, InDesign stops linking to the art folder. This is annoying. Is this happening because my art files are in a folder named something other than Links?

Show options when placing artwork
In previous versions, I didn't have to click the options button to see the options for placing a graphic or PDF. The current version makes me click an option button. It makes no sense. Just show the options. Always. And have the program remember what you did the last time, or make make it so you can set a default the way you want it. Having the options visible without having to click another button would save me a lot of time. You had it right before.

A archive/backup save feature
I recently was working on a highly important document. InDesign crashed AT THE SAME TIME as it was in the process of saving the file. I do regular saves, but because of how it crashed I couldn't revert to an earlier saved version of my file. My new workflow is to regularly save my work and I use sequential numbers e.g. filename-v01, filenam- v02. I also sometimes will use save as and create a new file called filename-backup and then I will have to do another save as to revert the document back to filename.indd. What would suit my workflow…

Native AI support.
Using links within AI to keep source files small is useless if INDD is a part of the workflow because INDD will not place AI files unless PDF compatibility is turned on. Turning on PDF compatibility in AI when saving embeds all links so linking files instead of embedding them makes no difference.
Please make INDD able to place AI files that have not been saved with PDF compatibility turned on.

Warn about font managers
Performance problems and crashes are frequently caused by third party font managers calling faulty macOS code that InDesign itself knows to avoid. Move all offending OS calls that end up in a font manager to a separate "sandbox" thread, and alert the user to disable incompatible software when the call does not return.

Please change the default View-Display Performance-back to Typical. The high quality display takes a very long time to load.
Please change the default View-Display Performance-back to Typical. Or at least when I save it with that setting, keep the setting. The high quality display takes a very long time to load.

GUIDES and View Outlines / Zoom
Would these small implementations be possible in Indesign?
GUIDES
- Creation of guides from Paths (as it works in illustrator)
- Possibility to move guides eg: 30°VISUALIZATION
- Possibility to have the display in Outlines (as in illustrator), It seems a stupid choice but it is often useful for selecting points and objects ...
I think that with the GPU acceleration just implemented this function would be feasible.ZOOM: Couldn't you increase the Zoom I don't know 8000% / 16000% ?? 64000%??????

Typographer’s quotation marks need to be the default.
I have been using Indesign since maybe 2006. There is an item called “typographer’s quotes” and that is still present in the latest version. It should have been removed years ago. They are quotation marks. The default ones are the glyph for “inch”. This is a relic from the typewriter keyboard where there was only one key for both. Please amend asap.

Long Paths support in Windows
As in all Adobe programs, LONG PATH SUPPORT in Windows must be implemented at the manifest level, according to Microsoft's own guidelines (SOURCE: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry):
<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<windowsSettings xmlns:ws2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">
<ws2:longPathAware>true/ws2:longPathAware

Advanced GREP Substitution Based on Content Structure
Enhance the GREP search-and-replace functionality to allow targeting specific components within a content structure (e.g., tags, glyphs, or partial patterns) without altering the entire matched string. This would enable more precise and context-sensitive text manipulation.

Understanding Computer Transformers: The Backbone of Modern AI
In the realm of artificial intelligence, transformer models have emerged as a groundbreaking innovation. Introduced in the 2017 paper "Attention Is All You Need" by researchers at Google, transformers have fundamentally changed how machines process sequential data, such as language and images .
The Architecture of Transformers
At the core of transformer models lies the self-attention mechanism. This allows the model to weigh the relevance of different parts of the input data dynamically, enabling it to capture context more effectively than previous models like recurrent neural networks (RNNs) . Transformers consist of encoder and decoder components, which process input data…1 vote -
Save sections
Would it be possible to create an option to Save As a selection of pages. I create books and have to divide the into sections when I"m finished all the pages. Example: A 192 page book. Save As Pages 5-48 only.

Need more options in the links panel.
Would like to select a group of links and do a group replace without having to do them 1 at a time. Or even better, select a group of links and group replace them with a SPECIFIC PAGE of a PDF (without doing one at a time).
I do a lot of design for print. Think of a page with 24-up business cards. This would be so helpful with something like that.1 vote -
How to make the current font point to sorted position in the font list? Instead of the recent list.
When I close the recent fonts list and view the fonts used for certain characters, it points to the font's middle position in the list.
But when you open the recent fonts list, it points to the most recent list. Sometimes this gives me a choice to get stuck. Because, sometimes I need to reselect the font down or up near the original font.
Yes, the recent list is sometimes more convenient. But sometimes it's not the most needed.
Now, I want to keep the recent list, but when I want to see the currently used font, I want it…

Besides entering coordinate values, does InDesign have a function to align two path points?
For aligning one or two points, the best way is probably to enter coordinate values, but can it be a bit slow sometimes.
Wouldn't it be cool to have this feature in the alignment panel.

Make new features available in all language versions of InDesign.
So, today InDesign 20.3 was released, including among other things the feature of converting PDF files to InDesign files, a feature that has previously been available in beta versions.
Now, for some unknown reason the feature is available only in English language versions of InDesign, which follows previous examples, where things as Style packs also doesn't seem to make it into other language versions.
My simple feature request is to stop this discrimination and make these features available across the board. There can be no logical reason why things as PDF conversion should be available only in English versions.

Why is there no copy filename only option when you right click on an image in the link window?
Never figured it out, was it forgotten or did Adobe feel it wasn't needed?
It's necessary when links are missing and you need to find images.1 vote
