1. Feature Request: Intuitive Workflow Color Picker hotkey access for STROKE and Fill

   I would like to be able to: create a shape -> hit i -> pick a color from source x ; hit (modifier key) e.g. shift + i -> pick stroke color. I see it as intuitive workflow as you could accomplish a repetitive task on one keyboard-sequence instead of actual use case: create a shape -> hit i -> pick a color from source x ; stop - defocus - find pointer - move pointer to right sidebar - find stroke field - find and click on eyedropper icon - find color source and move pointer to color source -> tap/click. Guess its Fitts Law... and its important, as it would speed up workflow process without distractive interruption.

   BTW: With the same modifier key pressed, you could apply color to the stroke. Right now, any click on a color palette affects only the fill.

2. Template option

   Can you give "save as" the ability to save "as a template" so that you can't overwrite an existing document. Indesign has this, and is very useful for protecting original documents that must never be changed.
   ie. You open a template doc, and the only option you have when you save is "save as", therefore keeping the original intact.

3. Customizable bullet shapes (NOT simple bullet text)

   Hanging bullets should be supported, but customizable bullets (ie. for branded icons) would set XD apart even more.

   This is usually achieved in InDesign as anchored elements.

   I’ve adjusted this to focus on customizable bullets. Here’s the way for you to upvote simple bullets in text objects: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/16073923

4. Organize layers into folders in the layers panel without having to group them.

   It'd be great if you could organize your layers into folders without grouping them on the actual artboard. It'd make selection much easier. For example, in Photoshop you can put layers in the same folder but they aren't necessarily "linked" meaning that clicking on one item doesn't select the entire group.

   Currently the only way to organize your layers into folders is to physically group or link them on the actual artboard.

6. Automated Image Optimization on Import

   This feature request is perfectly in line with Adobe's push to "Accelerate your Work".

   Wouldn't it be great if you could drag 20 6MB images in your repeat grid, for example, and know that XD has done the awesome work of evaluating the placeholder dimensions and optimized the dimensions & dpi of your pasted images for optimal file size or image quality?

   If the user is pasting 25 images in a repeat grid that has a placeholder of 320px wide, it makes no sense that the imported images be at full resolution and dimensions behind the placeholder's mask.

   I'm suggesting two things:
   1. In the preferences pane, add a menu item for "imported images" and let users select if they want XD to optimize imported images for file size OR image quality on a slider.
   2. Create the back-end infrastructure to support intelligent image import optimization based on placeholder dimensions.

   This is valuable because I often source free-to-use high-res images for my prototypes. Today, I use a set of actions that I created in PS to optimize my images for XD because I don't want to import 400MB of images in my XD file, especially when I know they're just going to be used for thumbnails, for example.

7. Show XD thumbnails in Windows 10

   It is so hard to navigate your design files when you can't see anything but just the name and app icon.

   Both Adobe and Microsoft are not only mature companies but one could say - the seniors of the market. So why is it still such a big problem? Why in 2018 for most Adobe apps we can only see icons, not proper thumbnails? Patents? Money? Lack of good will?

   Yes, there are 3rd party apps like mystic thumbs that would allow you to generate those thumbnails but it should be native already. So Adobe please, take some actions and make it happen for the good of all of us :)

8. Use current file location as Save as default path

   When I select "Save As" it would make a lot of sense to use the file's current location as the default path. Currently XD seems to use the path that was used last time when using XD, regardless of the file.

   I use file number versioning alot, and I have "lost" my files multiple times just to find out them being accidentally saved into the folder of another project.

9. Display unconnected screens in prototype mode

   There should be a way to easily identify unconnected screens.
   And/or there should be a way to remove ALL connections, so I don't need to make one connection to display all screens in design spec.

   Background: I'm always having the same problem: I connect my screens in prototype mode, upload the design specs, developers are getting the link and then a screen is missing. Then I'm editing it, connecting it again or add/modify screens, I upload it again and the developer sees only the connected screens. This makes me so crazy sometimes because finding out which screen is not connected takes minutes and is really frustrating. If one screen is not connected to the others, all screens which are connected to the missing-connection screen aren't displayed as well.

10. See file/layer structure in design specs

    As an added feature, similar to what Avacode and Sympli provide, it would be nice to display the layers panel in design spec mode. The user can select a layer and it will highlight in the document art board.

11. Clearly denote when design specs have comments associated

    There's no way of knowing if there's a comment added to design spec unless you actually click the comment icon - and that icon is not very visable or explanatory. Would be nice if there was some sort of visual cue marker letting me know if the spec file contains comments or not. I checked with several developers both inhouse and externally and none of them knew I had placed comments cause its totally out of sight and mind when there's nothing warning them - like a red icon or a marker somewhere for instance? As it is now I have to tell each and everyone that I have made a comment by writing an email cause they don't click on that icon each time they open a file, cause some times there are no comments and other times it is. Very cumbersome stuff if you ask me.

12. Paste "in place" on multiple artboards outside the viewport

    The current way the paste functionality works is counterintuitive when pasting elements on multiple artboards.
    If I select multiple artboards, it's because I want to paste the same object in the same place on all artboards. Right now if an artboard is not in the viewport the object is not pasted, and if an artboard is partially visible the object is pasted in the center of the visible area.
    There should be a way (modifier key or global preference) that allows the user to control the paste behavior

13. Specify overlay transition origin

    The new overlay feature is great. But a wonderful small improvement would be to allow us to use the slide transitions but to specify where to slide in from. That way, we could have elements enter and exit from specific points on the artboard.

15. Better Previous Artboard Logic / Control

    Please add a blacklist / whitelist option to the "Previous Artboard" links.

    The problem: "Previous Artboard" logic is linear, which only works for specific use cases.

    Example: From a "Parent" page, user clicks a link to a subpage that has tabs. They click the tabs on the subpage a couple times, and now want to use a back button that takes them back to the "Parent". Currently, "Previous Artboard" will take them back through all the tabs they clicked on, before finally getting back to the "Parent".

    Solution: The designer can blacklist or whitelist a group of Artboards, and/or single Artboards.

    Example 1: They would blacklist all the tab pages, so the first Artboard XD sees in the "previous Artboard history" would be the "Parent" page.

    Example 2: The designer could tag/group each hierarchy level of the product they're designing, and use those as a whitelist for back buttons, making sure the back button goes up one level in the hierarchy, rather than following a linear history.

    A workaround is to just not use "Previous Artboard" at all, and just link to the parent directly. The problem is, this fails when there are multiple variations of the "Parent".

    Please add a blacklist / whitelist option to the "Previous Artboard" links.

16. Export jpeg for iOS and Android

    For mobile apps Design we need light weight for the assets we export on the stores ( play store / app store ). So actually we only export in PNG for android and iOS. The result when I export a Picture, my PNG is for example 1Mo if Adobe XD have the possibility to export in jpeg my @2x @3x pictures will be 0,1Mo.
    Because when our app is to heavy on the store you loose some customer, downloading is too long...
    So please, could you implant that point and quality export select like photoshop or illustrator.

17. Find and replace vectors

    Sometimes I make a lot of vectors and I keep forgetting to make them into symbols. It would be great if we can have find and replace vectors for XD. This feature could do the following:
    1. Find and replace vectors across artboard or within an artboard.
    2. Find and replace vectors of similar size, but different colour/ or different size but same shape and colour etc.
    3. Find and replace text in artboards.
    4. Convert searched vectors into Symbols.
    5. Edit all search results in one place (same as symbols)
    6. Select all search results, so that I can move them a pixel or two up or down together.
    7. Group then together and export them.

18. Design for one Platform export for multiple platforms (Example: iOS icons/designs to android sizes)

    We do design in iPhone 5 size that 320x568 and we have script for illustrator, which will give export GUI, where we can select export size options for both iOS, android and web sizes. This way we don't have to design icons separately for other platforms. Have attached screenshots for reference, there you can see option to set base frame size used to design this will do the calculations in background and will export scaled icons for other selected sizes.
