Ai: Better info when dragging Guides and use of Eyedropper

When dragging a Guide from the Rulers, we now have to figure out visually what the exact position is.
Wouldn't it be great when the Guide has a small info panel floating with it to show the position! Just like Adobe Muse does.

The same applies for the Eyedropper: please add a small info panel to it.

Ai: more logical Nudge buttons

I was wondering why Adobe Illustrator's X-axis manipulation buttons vertically. Intiution says the should be horizontal.

Right now, the controls look like this:






In my opnion, these small nudge arrows besides X: and W: can better be rotated 90º:




Thinks it's the result of the same unlogical thinking as in the InDesign UI,
discussed here.

Ai display bug




For a few versions now, Ai (Mac/NVIDIA Quadro4000) is displaying 1px gaps in anti-aliased edges. In Ai2017 these gaps are also visible in Pixel Preview mode.

Hope this can be fixed.

Muse: Object info regarding breakpoint visibility

Wouldn't it be great to select an object at a certain breakpoint and than get info on its visibility in other breakpoints? In the current version of Adobe Muse, it's rather binairy: Hide in breakpoint, or show all in breakpoint. I would like a more versatile control over object visibity.

AE: Render output in same hiërarchy as Project

When working on a complex After Effects Project with many subfolders, it would be great if a complete hierarchy could be selected and rendered, while keeping the folder structure from the project copied in the output directory.

Adobe Illustrator reverse path direction

In Ai we can reverse path direction of compound paths. But I would like to be able to use this feature for all paths. This comes in very handy when using variable stroke widths / tapered strokes.

Adobe Illustrator Expand Clipping Mask


Expand clipping mask
Sometimes I like to actually cut all filled objects and stroked paths as clipped by a clipping mask. Pathfinder is not sufficient in a lot of cases, since it does not cut open paths and multiple paths at once.
