Hi @Irshad231675651dxr,

 

Thanks for reporting this. Could you share which version of Illustrator and OS you're on, along with the OS details? If you're not already on the latest release, please update Illustrator and check if the issue still appears. If it does, try signing out of the Creative Cloud Desktop app, restarting your machine, and signing back in. Also, please test if the same behavior occurs in any other Creative Cloud app when trying to save. This will help narrow things down.

 

Looking forward to your update.

This is embarrassing.

Not sure which is worse, getting saved or Anyways. How did this happen? Nevermind, please demote the A to lowercase and drop the infuriating s. I am going crazy seeing that box pop up all day. Oh, and I would suggest being saved. Getting is another of those anyways-type words when used in that context. Not great.

Maybe you should update your software, because this has already been addressed in a fix.

Thank you. It sounds that way because it is not a word. I was pretty disturbed at the use of "anyways" in a professional software application.

This has now been fixed in the latest update! "Close Anyways" is no longer even an option.

Thank you Adobe for listening you little tinker.

I am really angry about this.

This "feature" is an excellent example of Adobe's ongoing attempts to expand its market to novice users by stating the obvious with pop-ups, tooltips, tutorials, etc. The apps are increasingly cumbersome and needlessly complicated.

It's irritating me every time i see it! Half expecting the next update to say something like this:

Yes! Exactly. Glad I'm not the only one dumbfounded by this. BUT my bigger question is why do we even need this dialog box in the first place? Can't AI just save the thing and we close it? We clearly want to close the document, so aren't we always going to prefer "Save Anyways?"

Seems unecessary. Just close the document. How you choose to save it is, like, your business, er whatever.

Illustrator 2020 saves in the background, so you can do something else why it's saving your huge file. You can just open a new document or switch tabs, but you might not want to just "close anyway" a document that is currently being saved.

Agree with this. When I saw it, I first thought, "Well, that's not even grammatically correct!" Which it isn't. The word is "anyway". 

 

But even "anyway" could be confusing to some.

It's not just that either. ". . . is currently getting saved." is wrong as well. The file is being saved.

This is Illustrator 2020, right?

You might want to read the what's new document.

Did you suggest this because Adobe should have used their new spellcheck feature? OP is pointing out a grammar error in the UI.
