Adobe Illustrator should color guides in Outline view

Guides are hard to distinguish in Outline view.
Why not give 'm some color?


Below: the same file in Preview mode (upper) and Outline mode

Multiple Project panels in After Effects

When working with large projects containing a lot of comps and folders, it would come in handy to have multiple Project Panels, to easily organize assets across folders.

Open copy of a C4d Project

I would love to have a third choice:
'Bring the project window to front', the button should name 'Show'.

Strokes in InDesign, please make it as it should be.

Please, please, please, please Adobe, fix the stroke behaviour in InDesign.

What's the problem?
In InDesign we can choose to let the stroke align to the center, the inside, or the outside of a path. Nice.

But the strange thing is that InDesign does not take the original path for snapping and sizing.
It takes the path + stroke for these. That's very inconvenient.

In InDesign, stroked paths are snappy at the edge of the stroke, in stead of the path itself (like Illustrator does correctly).
When working with a grid (very common for professional designers), the result is that the stroked shape's handles no longer fit on a grid. That makes it very annoying and almost impossible to align the stroked shapes to the grid.

I would love to have strokes in InDesign that work the same way as Adobe Illustrator does: the stoke width should never change the size of a shape or path.

Ripple Cut in Première Pro

Premiere Pro offers Ripple Delete, to delete a clip and close the gap by moving all future footage back in time. And it offers Extract, to put the portion between In- and OutPoint in the clipboard.

I would personally love to have a combination of both: Ripple Cut, which does the same as Ripple Delete, but puts the deleted clip in the clipboard.

Link output settings to a Compositing in After Effects

I think I requested this before.
Most of the time Compositions are output with the same settings over and over. Why can't we have the Output Module, Render Settings and Output path linked to the comp?

Would be a real time saver.

Maybe even better:
A setting for the project, which defaults to every new comp.
And for each Comp, we can change the settings, that will keep attached to this Comp!

Wow!
