Always open a image file on Photoshop
The request is pretty clear in the title. How nice it would be to double-click, with option button hold down, over an image and open it in Photoshop instead of Preview even if the default image application is set to preview.

Embed file option while placing the image in the page
Many-a-times after placing a Image, we need to Embed that as we don't want that to stay connected to the source.
That's why what we want is that before placing a Image, there should be a Link/Embed Option as there is in Illustrator so that I do not have to manually go to Links Panel and Embed it from there for every single Image. It will faster the work process2 votes -

Set asset path base location in preferences
Allow the user to set the base relative path location in preferences instead of having them set to absolute all the time. This will allow complete folder structures within Create Cloud Folders to be shared to other user without all the assets link breaking all the time and will avoid the need to send packaged files all the time.

Increase the density of Previous and Next Page arrows on eBook documents published online
Is there a way to increase the density of the shadow under the arrow for the Previous/Next Page arrows used in the eReader for documents published online? Whenever someone with a 4:3 scale monitor views a document and the document's page color is white, the arrows are hard to see.

Auto recognize type on path with overset text
When using 'type on path' with multiple paths and you have overset text on one path. When clicking on the red plus so you copied the overset text to past it on the next path but it's not possible because InDesign doesn't automatically apply/recognize 'type on path' like in Illustrator.
Attached an screenshot what I mean.

Exclude Pasteboard (PB) from Find/Change
Many of the Find/Replace functions would be much faster and easier to complete if only run on the pages area only rather F/C searching paste board too.

Baseline Options for Character Styles: vertical alignment to top, base, etc.
Text Frames have Baseline Options where you can set the First Baseline.
Please implement something similar for character styles, to vertically align characters within a line, based on Cap Height, Ascent, Baseline, etc. – similar to CSS.

index
Right now the cross-referenc markers in the index cannot be modified. They are set to e.g. see or see also. They cannot be switched easily to another language. So everytime a document is translated those cross-reference markers need to be translated manually in the document (find & replace) which means that everytime the Index is updated or the document is translated again the markers again have to be translated.

Script or function to export InDesign files to Photoshop while retaining layers for Windows devices.
I've been using the Adobe Suite for years for both photo and video editing. Recently I started using InDesign and found out that the only script available that lets you open an InDesign file in Photoshop with everything on separate layers is for Apple devices only.
Can we get a solution to this? I know I'm not alone here. Willing to beta test and do whatever else would be needed to help expedite this.

Give us the option to ignore certain instances of spelling & grammar errors, just like Adobe Illustrator.
Just like Adobe Illustrator, please add optional checkboxes to either include/exclude things like "repeated words" or "uncapitalized start of sentence" instances. Also... Illustrator has a section of the dialog box where you can optionally ignore (1) uppercase words, (2) roman numerals, and (3) words with numbers. This would be a great feature to implement within InDesign as well, especially since InDesign is the go-to program for layouts.

Please fix the tab export issue in EPUB format! We're paying for a program that promises print AND flowable epubs but getting only half.
I'm incredibly unhappy about paying so much money out of pocket for a program that does only half of what it promises. It promises print and ebook exports. Print works fine. Epub does not export tabs, indents, or line spacing. I've had your techs work on the program with a program file of mine after I showed them my work flow, and they took two weeks and couldn't do it. I did everything right, even according to them. Their solution was to have me get another program to do the job Adobe InDesign promises it will do but does not…

Show Character Style applied by GREP
When a Character Style is applied automatically via GREP, selecting text does not reveal which Character Style was applied.
Would be nice if it does, for reference purposes.1 vote -
Can we get text to go along with the video tutorials?
Videos can be useful, but we can read text MUCH faster than listening to a video. And we can easily refer to text where we can't in a video.
Please just supply the same learning in text form as well.
