I'm not sure which area this applies to, but every time I save or Package a file I get a bunch of empty folders on the desktop with job numbers from previous work and all they contain are a 'Document Fonts' folder inside. This is REALLY frustrating. So far, if I quit and restart, it stops for a while, but starts up again.

Each time I safe or package a file it creates one extra folder, cumulatively. The latest time I saved, 8 irrelevant folders appeared on my desktop.

This is confusing and I inadvertently deleted an active work folder thinking it was one of these random ones.

Please fix this soon!!!!!!!

Using CC2019 on a Mac running High Sierra

Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a document with a few hyperlinks in it.
2) Whilst this document is open, open a 2nd document, and copy/paste the links from one document to the other.
3) Save both and close.
4) Trash source document

Expected result: hyper links should work in Target document as expected.

Actual result: hyperlinks all appear broken in document. Whilst an exported PDF appears to still work, ID reports all those links as broken.

Other details:
If you retrieve the source document from the trash, it the links in the target document suddenly start working again, meaning your not actually pasting the hyperlink, but theres some sort of link that exists between the source and target document.

Saving target file as a new file, saving as idml, has no effect – those links are still tied to the source document.

This in an absolute tragedy if you are working on large documents with lots of links, and needs fixing ASAP

I use InDesign daily for my publication and when you keep changing things, it throws me off and wastes my time.
I used to be able to print to save pages to the same folder, but now when I print to save a page, it takes me to whatever folder I most recently placed an image from. VERY frustrating. Also, I now have to scroll to get to my most recently used fonts rather than the drop down font list being automatically positioned at the top with most recently used fonts.
I wish you would just STOP changing things! Every time there's an update, it takes me a several days to adjust to changes that I didn't need or want, which slows me down and reduces my productivity.
If you MUST do updates, make them optional, or allow us to download them quarterly or twice a year so we don't have to constantly adapt to changes!

I have recently upgraded to Adobe CC 2020, and also upgraded to Mac OS Catalina. when I open my font drop down menu I expect to see all of the 'foreign' (non english) fonts at the bottom of the list. Instead, there is a font 'Noto' with 60 font families in the menu. I've checked in 'Font Book' on my mac, and that font is NOT listed as an 'english' font, so I assume it SHOULD go to the bottom of the menu. These fonts show up in the middle of font listing of other CC programs as well (Photoshop and Illustrator)

Hello,

I have run into trouble on the InCopy export from InDesign with regard to index markers and am wondering if anyone else has the same situation.

The export of InCopy files from InDesign omits index markers in specific scenarios due to the nature of XML.

Specifically, if the index marker of a subentry occurs earlier in the text than the main entry, any other subentries after the main entry will disappear when checking in or saving the InCopy file, even if no edits are made in the file.

The reason for this seems to be that all index markers in an InCopy file are combined into a sequential listing of index markers for the document. This listing is created as the computer goes through the text to save or check in the InCopy file. If a subentry comes first and then a main entry follows, further subentries don’t know where to insert themselves in the overall listing of index markers and they disappear.

As a workaround, a Suppressed Page Range index marker can be added before the first subentry as shown in the below example:

EXAMPLE:

We have the following subentries under bacteria:

bacteria, 2

    bacterial memory

        reproduction, 3

    experiment with smoke and steam, 1

    never investigated why it got things sick, 5

We have a subentry on page 1, before the main entry on page 2. Because the main entry is on page 2, those subentries that are after the main entry will disappear and upon exporting the InCopy file, we get:

bacteria, 2

    experiment with smoke and steam, 1

The subentries on page 3 and page 5 disappeared.

Temporary Resolution:

If a subentry is exists before a main entry, an additional “Suppress Page Range” index marker is created for the main entry.

Can this be corrected in the native ICML export from InDesign?
