Make Links panel more usable by wrapping the information for links. For example, I can't even see most of the file path until I undock the panel and make it wide enough to view. Same with a long file name. Then you have to F around adjusting the **** columns so you can see both file name & file status. Wouldn't it make more sense to have an auto-size feature so info like this is easily viewable? Even wrap text to the next line. Also, why so much space between all the lines of info? It's a ridiculous amount of unnecessary scrolling.

I tihnk these things would make that panel MUCH more usable, especially for us who sometimes design only on a laptop screen, where any panel space is very valuable.

It's many things like this that makes me wonder if Adobe actually uses their own software, or do their designers not care about annoying little quirks that don't change for years?

If I have a couple of images placed on a page, if I want to match the attributes (eg. reference point, x offset, width, rotation angle, etc.) of picture B with picture A, I have to either manually remember (or copy) enter each of picture A's number and enter it into picture B's attributes, or use a script such as Equalizer.

It would be fantastic to have something just like Premiere Pro's Paste Attributes. Using this, I could select picture A, do Edit>Copy, then select picture B, do Edit>Paste Attributes... and a dialog box would pop up asking which attributes (eg. reference point, x offset, width, rotation angle, etc.) I wish to apply. It works brilliantly in Premiere - can we have the same kind of thing in InDesign please?

I often have many different documents open in tabs but not in separate windows. I drag the tabs together so that InDesign's screen looks sort of like a browser with multiple tabs at the top. But only the selected tab is visible in the main windows. But rearranging these tabs in my preferred order is VERY finicky. I have to drag precisely left or precisely right, and about half the time my tab, instead of rearranging, opens in a new window. Frustrating.

The solution would be to recode so that when you drag a tab left or right to rearrange, OR to drag the tab for a separate window into a tab group, you have a buffer of a certain number of pixels above and below the tab group before you decide the user wants to move the tab, instead of into the tab group, into a new window.

Related to this, there is an option Window > Arrange > New Window for [nameoffile]. Why not an option for Window > Arrange > New TAB for [maneoffile]?

Thanks for listening.

I can respect that you want to keep the CC base code clean of OS specific features, but I HATE subscriptions and I HATE the fact that you make the apps feel like 2nd class citizens on Mac. Two examples:

1) Full screen windows.
2) Full Dark Mode support.

I won't go into details as I am sure that any developer / engineer working on these products on a Mac knows exactly what I am speaking of. There was a time when I truly loved Adobe products and thought it was a fair company. Today with subscriptions and attitude, I'm looking for ways to leave them behind. I no longer recommend Adobe to anyone getting started in graphic arts. Adobe is EVIL.

If you live in an environment where you have to shut down InDesign and start it up again, such as a corporate "day job" or if you want to backup your files at night:
Offer an option to reopen all of the file tabs that you had open when you last quit.
I often have a set of four files open, two of which are open in two windows/tabs., for a total of six windows/tabs. It would be nice to be able to start up InDesign and have it automatically reopen all those files, basically getting back to where I was when I stopped working and had to shut down InDesign.

on to Hello there,

I edit two copies of a book open at once, each one a different format. If you look at the picture you will see what the two books look like in the books editor-kind of. I am migrating one copy of my book from A4 to ePub for Kindle (why don't you support the .mobi Kindle format or get Amazon to write a plugin for the purpose? I am forced to use Word to write a kindle book). The file are in two different folders. The files have the same name for each book.

It would be really useful if InDesign highlighted the document in the book panel that I am currently editing. Especially, if you are editing over 30 documents per book.

I also might have imagined this, but if you have two files open from two different books that have the same name, when you save one of the files, it saves the other file with the same name. This is very "dangerous". I had made edits to one file that I wanted to keep and edits to the other I did not. InDesign saved both files even though only saved using the menu. The result is that it trashed one of the files by putting tentative but major changes on n on top of what was a completed document that I effectively wanted to roll back to-I did not want to keep the changes.

Thank you
Mike
