3. file version-control

   At the moment I control versions of a project with different files:
   project-xy-01.indd
   project-xy-02.indd
   project-xy-03.indd
   project-xy-04.indd
   ....

   It would be helpful for my narrow disk-space to have the versions in one file! If I need to go back to a former version of the project it would be nice to have a panel where I have a visual overview of the former versions (I generated) which I can label and select.

4. Can we PLEASE have a better way to manage saved search queries?

   I'm a very heavy user of InDesign's ability to save specific search-and-replace queries, especially for GREP. But every single time you folks do a major update to InDesign, my custom saved search-and-replace queries (GREP, Text, Glyph, Object) go away. I've taken to backing up the .xml files with my backup software and manually restoring them after each program update, but something has changed in the last version, and simply restoring them to the applicable folders no longer restores them to the program Find dialog listing. I've got more than thirty mission-critical GREP queries alone. Re-writing them from scratch each major update is NOT acceptable!

   The system for saving and managing custom queries has been broken from the beginning - "Save" names only appear on the listing if they were saved in the current version, so if I want to overwrite an old one, I have to re-type the name EXACTLY. As above, if there's an update, saved queries are NOT among the settings that are carried over to the new version.

5. Make PDF Commenting Panel consistent and better designed

   1. In one place in the panel, it's called Accept. In the flyout menu, it's called "Apply Auto Edit."

   2. Why did we suddenly start calling the checkbox "Resolve"? I know that's the term that Acrobat uses, but it's confusing. Especially, when it's located alongside a word called "Accept." You're making users try to figure out new nomenclature when the old words worked just fine.

   3. The icons on the left of the panel are way too subtle. In Acrobat, they are color coded. Replace text is blue. Strikethrough text is red. Sticky notes are yellow. Underlines are green. Why can't we have those same types of distinguishing colors in the PDF Comments pane.

   4. They gray is WAY TOO subtle. Click don is white, hovered over is 11%, and all others are 5%. It's the same fusing hard to use UI of the comments pane in Acrobat.

   5. Why did yo have to hide the checkmark (resolve) and trash can icons for all the comments except ones that are clicked on or hovered over? Why not just have them readily available. Again, this is copying the new Acrobat UI, which users hate.

   6. The comments are a huge amount of wasted space, just like they are in Acrobat. If you really want to see how the panel should have been designed, take a look at DTP Tools Annotations plugin.

   7. Comments are not sortable. Well, they sort, but only by page number.

   IMO, this is still a beta feature and not ready for primetime. Especially disturbing is how it mimics the UI of Acrobat. It doesn't feel like InDesign. It takes up too much space, isn't full featured enough, and is difficult to use.

6. Paste where mouse is pointing

   When not using paste-in-place, the item in the clipboard should paste where your mouse is currently sitting on the screen.

   The would save a lot of time when you don't need an item pasted in the same spot but rather in a certain area.

7. 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.

8. Auto disable Preview when saving data merged file

   When previewing a data merged file, you can't save it as you get an error message saying you need to disable the preview. Why can't it do it automatically, allowing you to save. It's slightly annoying!

   I think it`s very inconvenient that you can't sync (or save) your settings. This feature has been there. Why take away something that makes it harder for users it use to be the other way around.

10. Preferences/Units & Increments/Cursor Key Distance

    Please make this feature faster to change. It is the first preference in Illustrator and I love that. Can you make it the first preference in InDesign? I change this number a lot. Right now I have to hit command k, hit the down arrow five times, tab six times, change the number and hit enter. It wasn't always this hard. It doesn't have to be this hard now. Please fix to make it easier.

11. Please, please, please increase the overall stability of InDesign.

    I’ve lost count of the number of times functionality has gone missing (ie: unable to proportionally scale using key commands and my mouse, sliding elements vertically or horizontally without changing either their “x” or “y” coordinate (respectively), etc.

    I would suggest (and I am absolutely serious about this) that Adobe take 3 months off from issuing any updates to the product and have all your techs, engineers and coders work out as many functionality issues a possible to improve the stability of the product. Don’t get me wrong, it is a fabulous product (and you have no real competition except maybe Sketch?) so taking that time to improve what exists will not impact the bottom line. In fact, a more stable product can only IMPROVE the bottom line. Imagine if every so often your car wouldn’t start, or the headlights no longer worked, or it would wander all over the road even when you held the steering wheel perfectly still! You would be outraged and automobile manufacturers would either fix the problem ASAP, or go out of business. Do the right thing. Fix what is excellent (but flawed) tool. And the excuse that every user’s machine is different, and that you don’t know what other programs they are running or what conflicts or corruptions might be caused by those programs shouldn’t hold water after decades of development. And given the Creative Suite subscription prices users are paying, I think we are due some real improvements in stability.

    For the record, I’m running a fairly new (since July of 2017) iMac, 27in machine, running High Sierra, v.10.31.1 and using the Adobe Creative Suite, 2018.

    And have been using the Adobe products for years now, so don’t mean to sound like a crank. Simply want to make my day go a little bit smoother and be more efficient. Having a gazillion tools and features means nothing if even the most basic (and most often used) tool goes awry. Thanks for taking the time to read.

12. Exporting seperat images as cropped in page design

    I layout a newspaper. We have several images on each page. Each image is cropped or framed so it fit on the page.

    There is no way to mark 3-4 images on each page and export them as they are cropped/framed - not as the original image is. It's really annoying, because when I want to put the images on the website, the images needs to be cropped the same way as in the articles.

    I would really like this option.

    Now I have to open each photo in photoshop, crop it, and save it. It' s very time consuming.

    Thanks for considering this for the future. I guess many have similar problems.

14. Use regular selection tool with grouped objects

    I would like to be able to select multiple objects within a group using the regular Selection Tool. Currently InDesign only allows me to select 2 items within a group. If I try to select a third object it "exits" the group. The Direct Selection Tool allows me to select multiple grouped objects, but will sometimes select just a vertex or other sub-element of an object. It would be great if the regular selection tool could select as much content within a group as desired. Thanks!

15. Dragon by Nuance to dictate directly into InDesign

    This is an ADA accessibility issue.

    Allow Dragon by Nuance to dictate text directly into InDesign. (Mac, Dragon 6.0.7).

    This is been a constant problem with compatibility between Dragon and InDesign. I've spoken with both companies help departments about this and each blames the other for not being compatible.

    That is where things stood until for different problem I had to have Adobe help via remote access login as root and remove all Adobe installations and files.

    After complete reinstall of Adobe products in design accepted dictation from Dragon for about three days. This to me indicates it is a problem on InDesign side, and that is something that should be easily fixable.

18. New utility feature called: "Move Link(s) To...".

    It would be great to have another utilities feature called: Move Link(s) To...

    Ideally it would function the same as Copy Link(s) To... but instead of copying it would just move the files.

    This would allow for a cleaner file setup where you can move all your files from a document into one location without packaging and having the files as duplicates on your computer.

19. Option to Set Default Save Location for AI-Generated Content to Project Folder in InDesign

    Thank you for introducing the new AI-powered image generation feature in InDesign.
    I would like to suggest an improvement to the way AI-generated content is stored. Currently, these assets are saved by default to the local user folder, which can become problematic when multiple team members need to collaborate on a project. Since the assets are not stored within the shared project folder, this can lead to missing files or confusion when the document is opened by someone else.

    It would be highly beneficial to have an option that allows users to set the default save location for AI-generated content directly to the project folder. This would ensure that all assets are easily accessible and properly organized within team environments.

    Thank you for considering this feature enhancement, and I look forward to seeing how InDesign continues to evolve.

20. Indesign 2024 not working with window-snapping apps

    I recently upgraded to InDesign 2024. I use BetterSnapTool to arrange my app-windows in order to have a efficient and practical workflow. But InDesign 2024 does not work with BetterSnapTool (BST) or any other window-snapping apps due to this reason I received from the BST support:
    "Unfortunately all window manager apps on macOS are affected by this, Adobe has broken their window resizing behavior in their recent updates. Their products do not respond correctly to window resizing requests using the macOS Accessibility API anymore. As of now I don't think there is anything I can do to fix this. If possible please also report to Adobe, they would need to fix this in their apps."
    BST works with every other application. I have reset InDesign preferences, but it still does not work properly. Therefore I still use InDesign 2023, since BST works perfectly fine with that application. The problem is that when I for instance snap ID2024 to 2/3 of the screen and I put another application in 1/3 of the screen (so far it works) but when I go to the 1/3 app and copy information and return to ID2024, ID2024 goes back to full screen again. Very annoying and it destroys my workflow. Adobe please fix this! I enclose a short videoclip to show how badly it behaves...
