Let Crop Mark offset reflect Bleed size by default
When exporting a .pdf, I find myself correcting that value over and over.
In most cases we want the cropmarks not to overlap the bleed, because that would make the bleed useless.e.g: I set Bleed to 3mm, but the Crop Mark offset stays 2,117mm
Please let InDesign copy the Bleed value to the Crop Mark Offset value automatically.

Print Layout Stacking (as it is in CorelDRAW)
Imposition control from the Print dialog box (as it is in CorelDRAW) would be a massive time saver for those of us in print shops. I am an Adobe user in a Corel shop and I've been (slowly) working on converting them to Adobe, but this is one feature that keeps the owner going back to Corel for most everything he designs, simply because of the imposition features.
I'm sure everyone would be happy with this feature.

Background Packaging
It would be amazing if when you are packaging a document, the packaging would go on in the background (like when you export as a PDF) so that I can continue to work on other things while something is being packaged. Sometimes packaging takes 5+ minutes and I feel like I have wasted time when I could be working on something else while it packages in the background.
Just an idea!

Repackage
If you edit a file in a package with external links, a REPACKAGE option should put all links that are not in the LINKS folder there.
extra; CLEAN PACKAGE should remove all files that are not used in the package.
This would avoid having to make a fresh package after every edit

Remove "Publication must be saved before continuing" workflow requirement.
The requirement to save a file before creating a package is cumbersome. Often, I am saving a package to a new location to use as a starting point for a new project, or a creating a new separate version. Saving it requires potential alterations to be saved in the original file. Even without modifying the file, updated links or fonts might saved or broken.
One can Save As first, as a workaround, but this is the cumbersome second step. Creating a package from any open file without first saving it should be possible.

PDF of thumbnails from Print Dialog box
I'd like to send a PDF of my 3x3 thumbnails for a client instead of printing out or sending a PDF of individual digital ads. My print dialog box says Not Supported when I try to create a PDFs.
Seems like a simple fix. Anyone else?

Zip Fonts When Packaging
It would be great if there was an option to have fonts collected in a zip file when packaging a document. Fonts are often corrupted when transferred via the cloud, or FTP, and need to be zipped to maintain their integrity. It would be time saving if InDesign could do this automatically.

Print dialog reverts to 1 copy
I wish the print dialog box defaulted back to 1 copy like all other software programs that I am familiar with.
As a teacher I am updating student printouts every semester. When I am ready to proof read my changes, I hit Cmd+P and walk over to the printer to find 87 copies sitting there waiting to be proofed, because I had printed 87 finished copies the previous semester. Yes, I am aware of this quirk of InDesign, but hitting Cmd+P followed by return is muscle memory. I know I have wasted several reams of paper over the years.

Give one-sided versus two-sided option in print dialog box
Most software allows me to select one-sided versus two-sided printing in the print dialog box. Indesign requires that I go into the printer setup to make that change.

Layout-Options for "Cross-fold"-Brochures.
When designing "Cross-fold"-Brochures, it would be helpful if it would be possible to arrange the pages in the pages-palet. Currently it's only possible to arrange them in a row, even if the pages on the pasteboard are arranged as they will be printed.

Convert links to resolution
Convert a copy of selected links to 300 dpi (or any chosen resolution).
Including upscaling or downscaling.
Alos available on packagingThis would be helpful especially when supplied images are way too big, or some images are fine though a bit low res and need to be upscaled for print.

Increase offset marks higher than 25,4 mm.
I'm creating prints for many kinds of POS materials, where bleeds are often around 100 mm and more, and I need offset to be same as bleeds.
Same with Illustrator.

package indesign containing other indesign documents linked
I've a INDD doc containing several INDD docs linked. When I do package, if I select the make IDML option, only the main doc is saved as this, not the linked docs. I need to manual convert each doc (or open all docs and batch convert).
