ID has become increasingly unstable and memory hogging -
I'm using an 18-month old MacBook Pro; software regularly crashes; hogs cpu resources; slows mac down (performance significantly improves when I disable all adobe software) and unable to load files after ID software updates.

This feature very useful for paragraph styles, for aligning type on facing pages on a spread. Would be equally useful for objects, so can align images towards/away from spine

Add the option to enter a negative number in the new Size and Position options feature so a photo can be placed with bleeds. (i.e. x=-.125")

Place indd documents do not work when hyperlinks are exported.

where i can set up a selected time that the document saves eg every 5 minutes

10 Years ago. with Xpress 4.0, there was the option to freeze hyphenation.
After you send a Version to the client, you can freeze the hyphenation and after that, only manually hyphenation and line breaks are common.
Reason: Client wants other hyphenations or line breaks, after he becomes the next version, there are more new hyphenations followed by the next correction. And finaly, you have broken every line manually.

As in topic. It would be much easier to allow condition to be applied with eyedropper tool

It would be really handy if there was a possibility to check for embedded graphics using the Live Preflight.

Thank you!

The Paragraph Style Options dialog box should have a drop down list of Style names to enable access to other Style without having to go back

Our clients are sending the HTML5 inputs to load into InDesign. As we don't have direct feature to import HTML documents in InDesign, we're changing the extension into XML, also adding the META data before attempt to import the files. So it'll be good to have the direct feature within InDesign to accept the HTML files to import in InDesign without any issues, also accepting the HTML interactive features to reflect in the PDFs and in PublishOnline, will be very helpful to meet the client requirements.

1) Making Effects easier to copy/paste blending options like in Photoshop layers between several objects (similar to pasting blending to several objects)

2) Also, improving precision and granularity of the rather smallish and sensitive gradient feather bar using mouse. When re-applying a gradient, it is difficult to slide existing gradient points without adversely affecting applied gradient to object, sometimes its easier to just restart a new one.

It would be super useful to be able to run spellcheck only on certain paragraph styles. I run a directory that includes hundreds of names that get flagged, and if i I could run spellcheck just on body copy + headline paragraph styles, it would save me hours each month.

Be able to have a default setting to embed instead of link images. Good for publications with lots of small infographics.

Please improve the SEARCH BOX for the link window.
When I need to relink a missing object, the window that open have a very small search box. It should be more big, maybe twice the actual size. Thanks

Allow copying and pasting of elements with actions attached to them without reversing the order of the actions that were copied. This would result in a huge boost to productivity.

From the 'Open Recent' screen, the ability to open multiple documents without having to go into the open dialogue would be great.
