What small workflow improvements would you like to see in the future?

What would be very helpful is when 'Editing Inside a Group' by double clicking...

Have the rest of the design still show but have it perhaps locked and displayed slightly faded.

So the Group stands out but still be able to see the overall design you are working on.

Thanks!

oh yes - that would make the edit inside actually so much more useful - why are we expected to work 'out of context' ?

ditto clipview - would it not be so much more useful if you could see how it was going to be clipped as you make the objects to be clipped...

I would like to suggest a different colour or hatching pattern to show the pasteboard areas that go beyond the rulers. (see attached mockup below).



This would then indicate you are entering the 'Twilight Zone' where objects can disappear when zooming, and right-click-drag copied objects can unexpectedly jump across hyperspace.

To experience the issue with zooming:

a) open new A4 Portrait (blank)
b) zoom out to 25%
c) draw or paste something on the pasteboard near the right edge
d) zoom back to 100%
e) now try and find what you have just pasted or drawn!

To witness the hyperjump (also see attached screen clip hyperjump.mp4):

a) open new A4 Portrait (blank)
b) zoom out to 25%
c) draw or something (an ellipse for example) on the pasteboard near the right edge
d) right-click-drag-copy the object to the right
e) notice anything spooky?
f) right-click-drag-copy the object to the left
g) notice something not spooky?

Obviously this is an extreme example, but if for example, you are zoomed in when you do this, the new copy can often be placed completely off screen and out view so you have to zoom out or scroll about to find it.

Another Improvement would be if lets say I'm Using the Shadow Tool...

Perhaps Small Copy & Paste Buttons? I noticed there is room for them.

Forgive me if already mentioned somewhere... I don't always read every comment

Please allow us to use colored guide lines. So an option to choose multiple colors on guides, possibly right click on a guide and select or assign a color.

Please remove this nag screen. It is best shown in the info panel or somewhere else.

I'd really like an option to postpone publishing of particular variants (not just particular pages). In another thread we discussed options such as temporarily making the width of a variant too narrow to appear in any browser, but it's still 'out there.' Much of my work involves publishing a desktop site to a tight deadline, and only afterwards finalising the mobile version.

yes, animators would call it a light box [sometimes it might be referred to as onion skin, but an onion skin is actually frame to frame not down the drawing stack]

been asked for before

... also the liquid color FX - would be very useful from an animating point of view if that could do this as well.... in fact most of the FX previews are unhelpful in this respect...

A toolbar button to quickly open the containing folder of the file your working on in explorer.
