Condition also for graphics instead of text only
Make it also possible, to show or hide Graphic Elements and Logos according to "Text Conditions". So it would be possible, to make one Template for Merge and set the content in 2 Languages with different Logos or Graphics.

The ability to have space before/after not add up
When two paragraphs with different paragraph styles with differing 'space before/after' settings are below each other, InDesign adds the 'space after' and 'space before' together. It would be nice if you could optionally set in the paragraph style that these values are not added together, so that only the highest value is honoured.

Adjust image frame to pure white background
I do a lot of shoes catalogues, where white background is used on images.
It would be nice to have a tool that detects pure with and adjust the frame to that area.I do have clipping paths on the image, but it crops also the natural shadow.
Something like the PS magic wand, where you can select the offset of the frame.
ID will detect all the exterior pure white and adjust a frame around it with an offset of Xmm.

A way to lock a pages location in the window?
Is there a way to lock a pages location in the window? If not it would be a really great enhancement!
Such as this example where I have located the page in the center of the workspace:
SCR-20221023-hpi.pngexpand image
And then unintentionally I move it with in the frame:
SCR-20221023-hq2.pngexpand image
This could be single page or a spread.
Having the ability to, with a shortcut, set this position for this page or any page in the document to remain in the same position relative to the window.
Thanks for taking a moment to consider this!

coupure de mot
Hello,
In french, when there is a word wich have a "-" inside, can you forbid InDesign to put another "-" to devide it between 2 lines ? (see picture, the word "beaux-parents" has 2 "-" wich is a mistake)
This problem happens frequently in french text.1 vote -
Allow the 'import options' dialog window to be scaled up
When re-linking or placing a layered file it would be useful if the relevant dialog window can be scaled up. This would make it easier to select which layers are imported, especially when importing artwork that has a large number of layers (e.g. an Illustrator file). At the moment a lot of scrolling is needed especially if each layer needs to be imported into InDesign individually. Would be useful for workflow to be able to scale up the dialog window to see all layers at one time, and then select/de-select layers them from there.

After placing a .ai file into a rectangle frame, resizing rectangle frame would resize Artboard in Illustrator
This should definitely not be default behaviour, but e.g. a checkbox under "show import options" asking to "link artboard size to text frame size, when placing a .ai file, would be nice.
When opening the fiel in illustrator, a warning dialog coudl appear asking "frame size has been changed in indesign, do you want to change artboard size accordingly?"
I repeatedly work with layouts and .ai graphics, that need to first be drafted, then layout changed, and after this the graphics slightly refitted to new sizes. Its a bit tedious looking up correct widths and heights for artboards from indesign.

Convert missing and and no longer existing hyperlink in to embedded image
When editing an existing file made by someone else who no longer has access to the links used in the file, I want to be able to pin the images to the file so that I can save the pdf without image resolution changes.
I tried embedding the images in the file but this option is not clickable for the missing links.1 vote -
Allow custom bounding boxes to scale with object
Often I will customize the bounding box / text wrap shape of an object/image so that text wrap follows the shape of the object/image. For example, if I have an image of a violin with a transparent background, I want the text to follow the curve of the violin, not a box. The text wrap feature works great.
However, once the custom wrap shape is set, the wrap stays like that even if the object is resized. For example, if I decide to make the violin smaller, the wrap stays exactly where it is, meaning I have to readjust the…

Content Placer Tool Place Into Existing Frame
The behaviour should be exactly the same when i place a document with the Place... option. Hold the alt key, the pointer shows two opening brackets to indicate the Paste into function and Done. Currently I cant place collected content into frames. I always have to click and drag new ones.

Have two systems of unit measurement operate simultaneously, depending on feature and function
I would like InDesign to operate simultaneously in two unit of measurement systems. I would like to be able to work and view typographic measurements such as point size, leading, paragraph spacing, baseline shift, and drop shadow amounts in Picas/Points; but at the same time see my page size, margins, object dimensions, column widths and such displayed in inches, or mm, or even pixels, according to my need. I don't want to have to switch back and forth to easily SEE and reference measurements in control panels. I want some to display in one system, but others to display in…

When placing a pdf with drag and drop...
When placing a pdf with drag and drop, rather than simply refusing to do it if the pdf being placed doesn't have a trim/crop/whatever box the same as the previously placed pdf; it would be far more polite to pop up the place options.

Image Editing
Built-in image editing feature, lite version that has Hue/Saturation, Levels, and Curves for InDesign so it's quick and easy to manipulate images natively in InDesign, instead of back and forth between PS & ID.

Disable embedding assets... please...
I spend a huge amount of time in my work editing other people's artwork and the number one issue is embedded images that have been pasted in (instead of file-> place).
I have to jump through lots of hoops to get files to process correctly.
I'm not sure how it would work, but an option to have embedded files restricted by default, with a preference to allow it (with a warning dialog) would go a huge way to instilling the right working practice in new users.
And save me a huge amount of time.

Select path for text wrap for Illustrator files
When applying text wrap to an image (PSD, TIF, JPEG) the user can select a path to apply text wrap to. This allows the user to edit the path within the image using Photoshop’s path editing tools. This is much better than InDesign’s pen for editing a text wrap path. This is probably the worst path editing feature in any professional graphics program. So it’s a good thing we can edit that path somewhere else.
You know what program has the best pen tool? Illustrator. It also has excellent operators for paths, such as expanding paths and merging them. I…
