Feature to update links of placed InDesign documents
I often place multiple InDesign documents containing links into another one to create an overview of assets for our clients. This way I can jump directly to a specific document and make changes.
But if I directly modify a link of a linked document, I'm not able to update those remote links in my asset overview.3 votes -
Placed images should place based on resolution, not size.
When placing 300 dpi image into 72 ppi environment, it should place as real size (perhaps with warning if much larger than placing environment), and vice versa: when placing 72 ppi image into 300 dpi document, it should be 24% the size.

Please allow cursor colour change option from black to white.
Please allow cursor colour change option as sometimes black is not visible on dark graphics work. This is in particular for the selection too which comes in black only as a dafault

Smart button interfacing
I had an idea which could be applied to all of the applications. Essentially the idea is for a 'smart' button.
Often when I'm diving in and out of the interface I miss clicking on a button, sometimes repeatedly. What if the button had a 'snap to' effect, this could be set with a variable through preferences. It could be set to 1 pixel or 100.
This could be toggled on and off utilising a short cut. So you could activate it for different methodologies. It could also be disabled completely.It would allow for faster and smoother interfacing. However…

Not able to select file option, jumps to "window" or "help"!
When I open a file in InDesign, if I select the "File" drop down menu, it immediately disappears and the "Windows" dropdown menu gets pulled down.
As a result, the FILE dropdown menu is completely USELESS.. Please fix this BUG immediately.

Optional expansion of layout area
Sometimes it would be handy if, instead of a warning message, ID would ask, if you would like to expand the layout area to prevent objects from being out of bound.

Option: make subsection headers not persist beyond their ends.
For text variables for running headers/footers, the default behavior is as described in the help: "If there is no occurrence of the style on the page, the previous occurrence of the applied style is used." Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but if you are using headers or footers for both sections and subsections, and some sections have subsections and some don't, then you get a header with the name of a subsection many pages back, even though it's not on the page. Having an option to turn off this persistence would make this feature work…

Replace GUI
It could be usefull if developers could completely replace the existing GUI, and replace it with a custom build GUI. The Indesign engine could then also be used for other purposes than graphic design work.

Bug: XML w/Images Export (filename)
Just discovered during XML w/images export that ID is converting images w/spaces in filenames to underscores (causing mismatches, XML itself is correct) — is this a bug? Using ID 13.0.1
Btw - I know this is a feature request post, but I can't find an easy way to submit bugs!

Bring back newly activated fonts
Since updating to Indesign CC 2018, we can no longer use newly activated fonts. I have to restart Indesign after each time I activate a font. Please fix!

Vertical Alignment (top, middle, bottom) should be in Paragraph Formatting Controls (not hidden in CMD+B)
Vertical Alignment (top, middle, bottom) should be in Paragraph Formatting Controls (not hidden in CMD+B). This looks like a UI/UX grouping oversight. Thank you.

Need a tutorial on forcing a paragraph style to actually work
I've been sporadically hunting for a year on how to force a paragraph style to actually work in a text box. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Yes, I've tried the option bit. All I want is for the right margins to be the same, and to have a bottom margin that will keep the last line X amount of line-height from the bottom of the text box.

Print Preview rather than a P... or is that a d?
I'm amazed at how complicated it is to be able to print something as simple as front cover and back cover as a spread.
in fact, i have yet to figure that out at all.
Is there a reason why i can't print select pages from a catalog, and see where they will land on a page?
I feel like I'm working in Quark back in 2001. Have we made no progress in in the print dialog box since then?
I'd like to be able to SEE the pages (from selected range) their orientation on select paper stock, and how…

Toggles in Dashboard for published content
Introduce zwo Switches/toggles for "Hide the Share and Embed code" and "Allow PDF-Download" within the dashboard for an already published document so it doesn’t have to be republished every time one wants to change any of these options?

Find/Change tags
This is important in order to save time and avoid using third-party code editors, especially when edits have been made in InDesign such as anchored images being placed only on some listed items, that won't render in them.

Please let us turn off the new live endnotes feature
I layout a journal which features multiple articles each with their own endnotes. They are uniquely numbered for each article and need to appear after each article. I don't need live endnotes as all the copy is proofed and correct before I receive it.
