Layer comps not working with Indesign on PC
A 32 grouped layered file originally drawn in Clip studio paint, added layer comps in Photoshop does either:
- upon placement place correctly but does not allow the changing of object layer options. OLO has a empty grey preview and does NOT change the image after pressing ok.
- upon "update links" crashed indesign or gives the error "cannot place this image, unsupported color space" (same image as above which DID place)I have tried to:
- move the layers to a new file, same effect
- opened other files similarly made which work
- tried this on a MAC…2 votes -

Active adobe fonts are unstable.
16.0 x64 - I have been experiencing issues with Adobe fonts, where I can't edit them. For example, resizing to a larger font value or even adding more text. The font (or the entire text box) will completely disappear or it will switch to a default font even though the correct font is chosen. The only way to correct it is to close the document and restart. But it doesn't mean the font will be stable. I don't seem to have this issue with locally installed fonts.

Won't open Indd 2020 files when doubled clicked. Can't make Indd 2021 default program to open InDesign files. Have to open using File > Open menu. All InDesign files have blank white page icons next to them (windows 10). Uninstall/Reinstall doesn't fix problem.

QuickLook preview?
Almost every file on my computer is a Space Bar press away from a quick glance to review it's content. Many even allow for scrolling through the pages of a pdf or presentation, but InDesign still only displays and icon. Even with "Always save Preview Images with Document" selected.
I've seen this issues being discussed back to 2007 and it still hasn't been addressed beyond "use a 3rd party"... that's a terrible answer to missing features.1 voteThis feature is available in the latest version of InDesign - InDesign 2023.

save document
I have InDesign 16.0 with a Dell Windows 10 platform. When i use the file->save option InDesign randomnly chooses the folder from all of the document folders opened during the current session for the document to be saved in, rather than the existing folder where the document to be saved originated. Since on any given day, i might have opened 10 documents in 10 different folders, i have remember EVERY document worked on to hunt for my file. It used to be that if i used file->save InDesign would automatically target the source folder from which the document opened.

Using URL with Czech diacritics causes broken link
When I copy URL from existing Czech Wikipedia page
https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violka_vonná
and assign it to text in a document, the indicator in Hyperlinks panel turns red, but when I check it’s value by double clicking the link I find the same text in the Edit hyperlink field (copy and pasting the text from hyperlinks panel to text editor proves it’s identical). When I export the to PDF, resulting the link doesn’t work and (in pop up text) shows another link’s value
https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violka_vonn%C3%83%C2%A1
When I click the link in PDF I end up on nonexisting web page with yet another address

Print doc from the "share for review" page
To review a document, some people like to print it to have a better look at it.
Currently there is no option to print from the new "share for review" page, but having it would be very useful for some.
Otherwise we still need to make and send a separate pdfs for review.So, it would be appreciated if you can somehow add it.
Sincerely

windows moving out of sight
I work with 2 screens. After a timeout (screen wakes up from afterdark), the floting tool windows jumped back to the main screen, partly out of sight. I can't use them anymore because the upper handle jumped above the workfield.
The problem is not solved with returning to my saved workspace.
I can only choose a standard wordspace, and have to order my tools again as prefered. (Quit anoying).
I solution could be, that you can pick up a window also at its bottom. (Is now only at the top).2 votes -

search/replace
So you have extended the search/replace function with the colors in the update. What is still missing is the search/replace of hyperlinks. Example:
https://www.xxxxx.com/de-de/product-information/?context=16128696
Replace only it-it

Text anchors in alternate layouts break
If I create a document with text anchors and then make an alternate layout, InDesign gets confused as to where the links should go. I would love to be able to create the alternate layout and have InDesign understand that those links go to the locations in the newly created layout.
Apparently, the broken text anchors in alternate layouts have been an issue for a while. Here's a thread on Creative Pro (https://creativepro.com/topic/text-anchors-in-alternate-layouts-broken/) from 2013 about it.
