1. Why is there no copy filename only option when you right click on an image in the link window?

   Never figured it out, was it forgotten or did Adobe feel it wasn't needed?
   It's necessary when links are missing and you need to find images.

2. Spinning Beachball Details

   When we get the dreaded spinning beachball (and Window equivalent), which seems to happen more and more with each new InDesign version, can we get some sort of real-time detailed report?

   It'd be helpful to know what's going on in the moment so we can take action if necessary. As it is, we have no idea if InDesign is functioning properly or not, if there's a memory shortage, if there's a font conflict, and on and on.

   It seems that the app must "know" what's wrong, to generate the spinning beachball -- so why leave users in the dark? We're left to guess whether to just wait (and how long) or to take action. Sometimes this goes on for literally minutes when, apparently, InDesign is just doing its job. But we have no clue.

   Thanks!

3. Adjust Styles when you Adjust Layout

   Discovered that when you use the new adjust layout option to change a document from an A3 to and A4 (for example), the character and paragraph styles already applied when it was A3 do not change to reflect the new text size that has been adjusted when going to A4. So when you go to apply a style to a new piece of text, the formatting is wrong. It also removes the styles that have been previously applied to some of the text. I have searched for a work around and cannot locate one.

   Could you please add an option/check box in the adjustment layout window that you can apply the text size adjustment to styles? This will save a lot of formatting time, especially if you're in a work environment where you are producing presentations and portfolios constantly, coping text, importing tables and need to apply styles, etc.

   Thanks!

4. What are the causes of Quickbooks error code 15241 ?

   There might be one or more of the following reasons behind the occurrence of QuickBooks Error 15241:

   1. The File Copy Service (FCS) in QuickBooks Desktop is turned off. This service is critical for the QB application's and payroll service's functions.
   2. The downloaded file was tampered with in some way.
   3. Alternatively, if the QuickBooks installation was not completed correctly.
   4. If the windows registry files were corrupted as a result of installing QuickBooks, the identical problem would appear.
   5. One such explanation could be a Trojan assault.
   6. In the event that some QuickBooks-related vital files are accidentally erased
   7. If your anti-virus application is limiting access to the updated file, the error code 15241 will appear. https://takeactionnyc.com/quickbooks-error-15241/

5. Make Table of Contents menu robust and intuitive

   Make Table of Contents intuitive. It's a powerful tool, and yet difficult to set up even for an experienced user. The navigate the setup menu is static but closes every time. The explanations are poor, and impossible to navigate without watching a bunch of tutorials (and the user manual is not helpful either). Because the layout formating is done in paragraph styles it's difficult to know what and where to change to get a specific result. This software is supposed to make creating a long document easy and yet formatting a TOC requires so much pre-knowledge without any directions in the menu on where to find that info. A menu window instead of a pop-up would help, with more context text to guide a user towards the proper places to set up formatting.

6. Add the ability to select a parent for the following page or spread.

   In the "Parent Options" dialog box (on Windows, though I'm sure it's pretty consistent cross-platform) there's the options for the current spread.

   What if we could add a limitation that allowed you to specify the parent style for adding pages?

   For example, if I had a chapter head page, having it be able to automatically switch to the standard body parent would be a time saver for that highly repetitive task.

   The option would be after "Number of Pages" and probably say something like "Parent for Following Page" with a selector for the existing parents, and another selector with "Following Page" and "Following Spread" as options.

   Not sure how it would all look, but that's the core of the idea.

7. OS Specific Features Lacking

   I can respect that you want to keep the CC base code clean of OS specific features, but I HATE subscriptions and I HATE the fact that you make the apps feel like 2nd class citizens on Mac. Two examples:

   1) Full screen windows.
   2) Full Dark Mode support.

   I won't go into details as I am sure that any developer / engineer working on these products on a Mac knows exactly what I am speaking of. There was a time when I truly loved Adobe products and thought it was a fair company. Today with subscriptions and attitude, I'm looking for ways to leave them behind. I no longer recommend Adobe to anyone getting started in graphic arts. Adobe is EVIL.

8. Duplex options in print dialog

   I would like to be able to set duplex on / off and flip direction in the print dialog.

   How it is currently setup, I have to change the printer, click "Setup..." which gives a warning about settings conflicts, click "OK", change the printer again (because I'm not using the default), scroll down to "More Settings", click "More Settings", navigate the HP print settings to adjust duplex settings, click "ok", click "print"

   I would like the duplex settings brought out to the main print dialog because going through about 10 steps to change 2 settings is a huge waste of time. Not to mention that I can't save the print preset because the duplex settings were adjusted in the windows print settings

9. One language for the app interface, another for the shortkeys

   It would be G R E A T if you could install the english version of InDesign, but use shortcuts for a non english keyboard, since many of the english shortcuts don't work when you use a non english keyboard.

   This is actually a problem in all Adobe apps and not just InDesign.

   Please don't tell me to switch to ENG in Windows 10 since I want to be able to type in swedish...

   And don't tell me to manually go through all shortcuts and change them one by one. I shouldn't have to do that every time I install an Adobe app.

   There must be hundreds of thousands of users around the world annoyed by this... it would be such a simple feature to add.

10. Clear All Style Sets—Right from the Style Set Menu

    Since there are a lot of windows to get to the OpenType Style Sets, we need a button that can clear all the opentype features we've tried out. This can be put into the Stylistic Sets Menu. (See attached picture.)

    This isn't just valuable to me. This is valuable to:
    1. Other users can feel free to use style sets, knowing that they can quickly clear all options, not spend minutes clicking through menus—Just to turn something off!
    2. Font designers might add more features into their fonts if the features are easier to use.
    3. You've already made that opentype feature button when you highlight, thank goodness for that! We just need a better way of clearing the style.
    4. This allows a lot of utility to the end user, but since it's just a simple menu button, with a simple function it won't really take as many man hours to implement.
    5. Your product becomes even more indispensable to type enthusiasts.

    (This can also be implemented in the Opentype Tab of the Character Styles menu.)

    Basically, this will make a lot of more advanced users happy with very limited downside to Adobe. I have attached a picture of how this might look.

    Thanks, Dave

    PS If the above idea is too difficult to implement, here's an even easier one: At the very least, if the menu behavior was different, it would save us a lot of clicking. And it's just this simple thing: Keep up the menu after I or another user click on a style set. That way, we users can choose multiple type options.

    It's that simple.

    This goes for the Entire Menu, once you've clicked on "OpenType."

    Additionally, since the behavior is so subtle, I believe most users won't even know the menu behavior changed, but might just feel like, "Wow, this menu is so much easier to use."

    Easy to implement, a lifesaver for those of us who spend all day clicking through these menus!

14. Rename Hyperlink

    Add the 'rename hyperlink' option to the 'edit hyperlink' window. I find it essential to identify hyperlinks by their names. But I often edit them. After I edit a link, and I want to rename it to better identify it, I have to open a new window just to rename it. This is quite inefficient.

    In the Hyperlinks panel, with the Name of hyperlink shown highlighted, clicking once more on the highlighted name enables you to ‘rename’ the hyperlink right there.

    Hope this helps.

15. In the pop up window file menu, "Object, Transform, Scale", when scaling a warning can be shown that object can't be scaled as they'd fall

    In the pop up window file menu, "Object, Transform, Scale", when scaling a warning is shown that objects can't be scaled as they'd fall off the pasteboard. This is mainly due to the wrong point indesign scales from. IE it may be set to top left whereas centrally or mid right may scale no problem. But because the warning pops up you have to cancel what you're doing, select the different point then start the scaling process again.
    Can the squares of the object not be combined with the scale pop up window please?
    Please see attached existing and required images for reference.
    Cheers

16. Option for fly-out menus to open to the right.

    Would it be possible to have an option for the fly-out menus to open to the right to keep the live page area fully visible? It's hard working on spreads in book interiors because any window open covers part of the text. If I have room to shift the spread over, InDesign automatically re-centers the spread when I turn to the next page. (Sample window was chosen in PNG because it's generic.)

19. Remove tips, Add an option to turn on/off tutorial mode

    Remove tips, Add an option to turn on/off tutorial mode.

    InDesign and other adobe apps constantly tell me things that I know about. This is helpful for new users, but annoying for professionals. InDesign is the industry standard and should cater to professionals while having a beginner or tutorial mode for those who are new to it.

    It is unacceptable to open a window and show it to me while im working. Multiple times i've pressed ctrl z which brings up a window that says DID YOU KNOW ABOUT DOCUMENT HISTORY. Its not helpful for me personally.
