Would like the Links panel to show status, resolution, color information for linked AI and PDF
It would be helpful to be able to view the following information for linked AI and PDF files in InDesign's links panel:
- Color space of linked AI and PDF files
- Status of any links or embedded art in linked AI and PDF files
- Effective resolution for links or embedded art in linked AI and PDF files

Would like a feature that would set type flush left to the longest centered line
I often need to set poetry extracts in books so that they are flush left to the longest centered line in the extract—see attached examples.
The workarounds a cumbersome and/or time consuming.
It would be great if there was a setting to do this automatically.

Can there be an export option that exports all layers into there own pdf all at once and not have to export each layer one at a time?
Can there be an export option that exports all layers into there own pdf all at once and not have to export each layer one at a time? Example: I have 20 layers in a document and need to export each on as a pdf. I would like to do that with one export option and each layer retain its name in the pdfs.

Toolbar
My toolbar is located on the right because I'm righthanded and placing it on the right means shorter distances when using the mouse. This means less stress on shoulders and arms.
I have an idea to choose a tool even faster, while creating more workspace and less use of the mouse.
What about a specific key (combination) useable for your non mouse hand (eg.ctrl+shift), to make the toolbar appear directly under the cursor. When you use the same key (combination) again or after you have chosen a tool, the toolbar closes.
This way you will create more space in your…

Picking colours from swatches for gradients
I find it a little tedious when doing gradients that you have to manually enter in the values of the colours even if they're in your swatches. You can add to your swatches from what you're making but you can't just quickly drop a swatch in as a gradient value. Just a bit of a pain when you're trying to work quickly

Table appearances preview
When changing the appearance of a table you have to highlight the table which is in Black. So when you want to preview the changes you cannot see what changes you have made.

Production notes
It would be great if I'd have the possibility to add notes to areas which are only internal. Often you have to make tweaks to get the result you want, but when you have to produce the next version, probably a year later, you don't know anymore, why you did what in this way. If I could add notes it would be very helpful.

Duplicate Table of Contents Style... Alt-[New]
Adding the possibility of duplicating TOC Style or Create New based on old one.
We still have only the option New and Edit. And all new styles have to be defined from scratch.
Or add the shortcut Alt-[New] to create New based on old one.11 votes -

place multi-page illustrator
Feature or Script request:
Place multi-page (multi artboard) files in InDesign with similar auto flow feature as Shift+Place Autoflow Text when Pasting.
Paste multiple Illustrator files at one time with autoflow. For example: 3 separate Illustrator files with 3 artboards each. Script would place each of the 9 artboards on consecutive pages while maintaining the image box size and fill attributes of a user created image box.
Dialogue box to select which artboards are to be placed & layer visibility (similar to current place Illustrator file function). This might only work when a single file is being placed.

Make character and paragraph sections of Properties panel full featured like the Character and Paragraph panels
The Properties panel is a great replacement for having the Character & Paragraph panels both open at all times. However, it's missing some functionality that's presented in the upper right menu on these panels (see attached). Some of these options aren't found anywhere else. It's a shame to need to have these panels open alongside the Properties panel. It would be preferable to add these options to the Properties panel to keep things tidy.

Table of Contents
Table of Contents styles should be able to take a selected page range, and generate a TOC based on only that page range.
Many books have multiple TOCs these days — a master TOC up front, and TOCs at the beginning of each chapter or section, and often a hidden TOC that is used to generate PDF bookmarks.
Being able to limit page ranges would mean less manually edited of generated TOCs, faster TOC generation, and needing to use fewer paragraph/character styles to handle them!

Allow alternating row fills AND column fills in table styles
Currently, there is no automatic way to have a table with alternating row fills AND alternating column fills; the table settings will only allow you to set one or the other, and you must manually change the colors of the rows (if you set columns to alternate in the style) or columns (if you set rows to alternate in the style) from there.
It would be nice if we could set BOTH columns and rows to have alternate fills. For example:
You have a table with five columns, ten rows. You tell every other column to be 100% Magenta. You…

Flash Drive
I think adding a feature to allow for flash drives to be used would be beneficial. Whenever I have to use Indesign I have to place a picture instead of just opening the file from my flash drive. It doesn't work when you want to use the picture as the main focus for an invitation.
