Drawnword, Thank you for taking the time to write down these comments. I appreciate the detailed feedback. I'm going to take all of this back to my team and also try and answer some of them with either existing solutions or workarounds for the short term. Connectivity with Creative Cloud Libraries - not sure why this is coming so much behind. All the styles created in Illustrator can't be used in the XD. I have to re-create everything. All other Adobe apps can do it well, but not this. (Jonathan) We do support CC Libraries with XD which would solve your above use case - Creative Cloud Libraries in Adobe XD Importing PSD as an image (I am not after getting all layers in - just getting a good resolution picture with transparencies is enough). Even Autodesk Sketchbook can do this. (Jonathan) Right now we only support copy pasting Ps layers as bitmap images. We are actively working on a File Import > PSD workflow which will allow you to open a PSD document in XD with layers preserved. You can't name font styles. One of the best features on Illustrator and Indesign is its styles handling. -Paragraph and Character styles, which ensure the consistency of the artboards. This is where Adobe is far ahead Sketch. It does not exist on XD. Instead, I can create styles, and I have to guess from sizes which one is which. You can't name the color swatches. Naming is a bridge to use the same names on code as variables (Jonathan) The team is actively working on adding the ability to organize and label content in the assets panel which would cover colors, character styles and symbols. Color swatches on fills have HEX codes, but you can only see them when you have hovered over them some time. When choosing a right color from a greyscale palette, it becomes pretty slow. Being able to name color swatches and showing the name in small size would resolve this. (Jonathan) The team is actively working on adding the ability to organize and label content in the assets panel which would cover colors, character styles and symbols. I guess, this is a bug: When you select text, and then try to change the style - and if you click the size number on the side, it most often moves the focus to opacity settings. There's a too big margin for errors. (Jonathan) I've asked the team to investigate this. Layering is too weak. It is difficult to see what is on each layer, and also to keep a good and consistent structure. (Jonathan) Could you elaborate a bit more on what specific task using the layer panel is tedious or not efficient? We are always looking for ways to improve features we've shipped. You can't execute calculations on width. For ex, if the width of a rectangle is 105px, you can't type in 105-5 to make it 100px. This is pretty handy feature when you try to estimate things to fit in. (Jonathan) Upcoming releases should make you happy Why exporting is so hard? You have resolved all that on Illustrator export. Why does it have to be so simple and stupid that it autogenerates 1x and 2x images. Sometimes you don't want them. (Jonathan) We will continue to work on improving our asset and batch export workflows. With some of that work, I'm sure we can address your above concern. Shortcut keys don't match with other Adobe apps. (Jonathan) While we currently don't support preferences, we do plan on adding the ability to customize them in the future. Thank you & Keep the feedback coming! Jonathan Pimento Product Manager (Adobe XD)
