Please add support for natively placing HEIC format images in Indesign.
I'm sure it's already in the works, but please add support for natively placing HEIC format images in Indesign. And how about webp images while you're at it? :)

Content to Frame with Live Typography
If there is a fit to frame to content tool. We should get a fit content to frame tool that works with live typography.
I am not sure if this is a feature or not. I am also about to get more into creative coding so I would really appreciate it if you could get back to me with an explanation as to how you automate a feature like that with code.
Thanks for reading this.

group images by page
we would like to have the option to show links or images grouped by page because we have some time same images in 60 pages and we then want to replace them only on specif pages. so instead of doing it one image at a time, we could then just replace the images based on pages.

ARROWS: Give arrow start/end a different color option from line type color
It would be great if we were able to make the end of an arrow (from within the stroke panel) a different or complementary color from the arrow line itself. It would be a huge time saver from the other workarounds required to create something seemingly so simple. Especially if it could then be saved as an object style. I think many people would use this feature in their designs.

snapping
I would like for InDesign to snap my objects to the grids and margins I made instead of to random spots right next to it, as seen in the image I attached. I work in a document for print, so it is not snapping to pixels or whatever.
It snaps to random stuff and every **** textbox or image is a ton of work. When making magazines at high speed this really slows me down so much that I want to look into other software to do the job as Adobe is clearly nog the right partner to do this.

Be able to access loaded place cursor.
When you place multiple images they are in the loaded place cursor until you place all of them. If you do not place all of them it is not possible to get back to the loaded cursor with the rest of the images.
Being able to access the loaded place cursor with remaining images either through a shortcut or interface would be great.

vertical scrolling
I would like to be able to view my InDesign document as single-page scrolling instead of as a spread. When on my laptop, I can't easily see the text on the pages if I'm in a spread, and I'm often making changes with an open PDF next to me, so if I could scroll them together, it would be so helpful. I can't believe at this point in InDesign's evolution that this isn't an option. (I want to keep the spread view as well but would like the option to view single-page.) Thanks!

Possibility to change the color of an SVG icon
SVG icons are usually single color (black). It would be nice if the color can be changed in Indesign. Now this can be done with the Inner Glow Effect, but a simple direct color selector would be much easier.

Generate QR code, new feature: add image in center
It is possible to put a small image in the center of QR codes. It the image is small enough, the QR code remains readable. It would be nice to be able to include an image with the Generate QR Code feature of Indesign. The size should be adaptable. Indesign either checks if the code still works or the user has to test this. If the image is an SVG icon (e.g. the LinkedIn logo), it should be possible to change its color.

Keep Corner Options When Scaling
Have a setting to retain corner options when scaling. You can do this with Stroke and other options.
This is discussed here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/keep-corner-options-from-scaling/td-p/10750348

This is not so much an idea as a request to go back to the way fonts were previously displayed
If i select a font then change my mind the menu goes back to A, rather than going back to where the font is in the list, so i must scroll through the fonts again before i get back to where I was. I see no advantage to having it any other way. Adding recent fonts ids not of much use. I work in a national newspaper, and everyone complains about this feature. Thanks. Angelo

Always open a image file on Photoshop
The request is pretty clear in the title. How nice it would be to double-click, with option button hold down, over an image and open it in Photoshop instead of Preview even if the default image application is set to preview.

Option to customize the angle of the stroke cap
It would be nice if we can determine the angle of the stroke cap instead of the default 90°, a simple option that would let you customize it to make sharp caps. I've made a simulation using forms to illustrate what I meant. A nice workaround that you should implement is the basic “outline stroke” feature that exists on Illustrator.

Edit ALL gaps in a selection.
It would be super helpful if you could edit ALL the gaps in a selection of objects with the gap tool, so matter the layout. See attached example of boxes – would be amazing is you could select and edit all gaps with the gap tool, perhaps with a new keyboard shortcut? That is all, thanks in advance! Anders

SVG Import/Export with device-cmyk()
Please respect
device-cmyk()beside its RGB/hex color value for CMYK output in SVG file import and – if it will hopefully be implemented soon – in SVG file export of InDesign, e.g.
<circle fill="#CD853F device-cmyk(0.11, 0.48, 0.83, 0.00)" />4 votes
