Hi,
I need to use this feature to make action for daily repeated things and give it every one a shortcut.
Such as:
- Apply style to certain master pages, like none to empty pages, and chapter master page to page has a chapter title, ... etc.
- Chain GREP queries in one action.
- Draw or make an object with style in certain position of page or margin.
- Import pics from the folder and put it in their frames.
- Move selected to another page, document, or file.
- Change color, such as: every red to blue.
- Change color document mode, RGB to Grayscale.
And more and more, in one click!
Thanks a lot

I find the Photoshop actions panel more intuitive than Illustrator, so would prefer that. I'd use it for things like taking all the text on a layer and converting it to outlines. Or applying set object styles (and subsequent text styles) to all objects on certain layers, so I could style some repetitive jobs just by putting the unstyled text frames on relevant layers and launching the action. Anything I can think of really. An option to ignore (or preset responses) to dialog boxes as they came up would be an awesome part of the feature too.

That's such an obvious request but it never occurred to me!

Would be a great idea, the only thing is in my case it would have be very subjective in practice to be of any real use.

For example would it count using GREP F/C queries as actions (which would partially answer a request I made for a batching feature), and if so, how would it respond if say, a colleague copied across the action (I assume they'd be easy to transfer/load, like paragraph styles etc.?) without the GREPs already in place on their system? Or would it be smart enough to create them if they weren't in place? If it could actually do that last part it would be amazing.

Either way, you have my vote.
