Composite object styles, is it possible to lock the style of an object?
Sometimes it's necessary to apply a style A to the caption, another style B to the image, then combine them and apply a style C. That's what I'm thinking of with composite object styles.
Here it is required to lock the A and B object styles, so that C can not affect the A and B.
This is just an idea, hopefully one day it will be discovered and created.
Also expect the graphic wrap around to one day work for the text above the anchor point.

Screen bug when using an external monitor with a laptop (Mac thing?)
When I have a file open, and the laptop sleeps or I close the lid, when I come back, the file is half way down the attached/big screen, instead of where I left it (full screen), it's only a little thing, but it's so annoying!! Please leave the files where I put them on the screen!

Please stop ID files flying back open from the dock (Mac)
When I've minimised an ID file in the dock (on the Mac), work on something else and then close it, the minimised file flies back open. Or minimising a file, then opening something else, the minimised doc opens up again and comes to the front. Please make any minimised doc stay there, until I call it back. I know it's there, I put it there for a reason.

Folder coloring in styles (paragraph, character, table)
It would be nice if InDesign had the ability to colorize paragraph, table, character style folders like Photoshop has in layers.

Custom organization of links panel
Options within Links Panel to sort links not by name/page/location folder, but into custom folders or priority. Allow users to place links at the top that are changed or edited more frequently. Current issue is job requires me to change multiple logo files spread throughout document quickly. If multiple instances are grouped, sorting by layer does not work and layer will also sort by layer name and not top layer. Letting users set priority status to links or create & name custom folders within the links panel can help find things quickly.

Inclure une fonction de nouvel article à un style de paragraphe.
J'aimerais que la fonction de Nouvel article puisse se donner à un Style de paragraphe, ainsi on évite de créer un nouvel article à la main en début de chapitre quand on fait un livre. Cela nous faciliterait la tâche lorsqu'un manuscrit inséré en un article complet comporte plusieurs chapitre et que les notes de fins doivent débuter à un à chaque article. Présentement il faut couper l'article manuellement à la fin de chaque chapitre. Il me semble qu'il pourrait y avoir une case à cocher avec notre Style de paragraphe de Titre de chapitre qui pourrait faire automatiquement les coupures d'articles à travers le livre complet.

Change hypenation-language for all text frames at the same time
I would like to select all text frames on one page and change the (hypenation-)language for all of them at the same time. This would save a lot of time when working with seveal languages in the same document.
I know, that I can add new paragraph styles with the corresponding language setting. But that takes way too much time. In our documents, each language has its own layer.1 vote -

Side by Side Page View
When using Adobe InDesign, it would be helpful for certain documents to be able to see two pages side by side. As of now, a simple two-page document has page two appearing below page one.

Stop snapping to pixel or give us option to disable
Give us the option to not snap to pixel when the ruler is set to measure in pixels.
Fine to snap to pixels when drawing boxes and lines. But completely useless for text and anything with a curve.

Font Paths
In the Links pallet, I can see the path to a link; EVEN if it's missing I can see where it was linked from. I would like the same thing for Fonts. In Find/Replace fonts I can only see a path to fonts that are found. I would like a path for Missing fonts, so I know--- were the activated through the Cloud? Or from someone's Font folder (and not properly Packaged). If I know, I can either Activate the fonts from Adobe, or retrieve the fonts from their local hiding place. It would remove the risk of activating an incorrect version of the font.

Span Columns -- please allow to control width of individual columns
I posted this same note under a topic called "Uneven columns," thinking it was to do with Span Columns. I realized later that it was referring to text frame columns. I am reposting here; please excuse the redundancy.
I run into this over and over and over again when typesetting business text books. Sometimes bullet items are long and sometimes short. The way columns work now, I'm forced to have some of the longer bullet text break to two lines even though, if i could adjust the column widths and have better control over the gutter, there would be ample room for this bullet text to stay on one line. This would be a great help in some layouts where that one double line of bullet text screws with the page ending and forces one line of bullets to the next page. I hope someone takes this suggestion seriously! It would be much appreciated.

Big bug that's been bugging me for too long: the extracted directory has a lot of duplicate entries.
I've been researching this for a while and I've kind of found the reason.
It's when you set “Skip header rows on first page” for some tables that are actually only one page long, that's when the problem occurs.But I hope adobe will improve it, because you don't know which tables don't end up spanning the page.
You forget about it, and when the client finds out, you get yelled at, or even become an accident.The current solution can only save as IDML, but you can't save as IDML very often.
The sample file is here. Please download the InDD file instead of IDML!

InDesign Parent Pages panel. Ordering Parent page designs by dragging them up or down. Needs an insert indicator to verify placement.
I have encountered this issue frequently. When I need to reorder a Parent design to change its list order it is imprecise as to whether I am placing the item (over or under) another Parent design or (on top of.) In many cases you only need to reorder an item, without inadvertently embedding one Parent on another. There should be an indication such as a placement line or arrow to confirm a safe repositioning of the item.
