    Any support for not loading files?

    Tried restarting computer/quitting/reloading AI.

    your copy of Illustrator looks awful. Please email us at sharewithai@adobe.com this is not something that we have seen on MAC. We have seen this a few times on windows where it was resolved with the display driver update.

      Yes, loving the bigger handles - much easier to work with!!!

      (Please make the entire UI scalable for 4-5k Macs, as you do in Windows, please!!!)

      for people having specific issues it's probably best to make a new thread with details so more people can see it.

        Hi there,

        I have not been able to use the Variable data feature at all, cannot import any CSV or XML, all I get is an error of invalid format.

        Any ideas?

        I believe Vasily Hall found out right away that the csv importer will only accept a csv file with Windows line endings.

        Although I tried it the other day with Unix formatted line endings and it imported fine. The only thing that won't work is the Mac formatted line endings. When I tried to import that I got the "invalid" error.

          what did you do to the GPU preview? It's weird now... have to go back to 22.0.1

          Ashutosh and his team have essentially ruined GPU preview for anyone using a Windows/nVidia combination. I'd advise anyone with this combination to stick with 22.0.1 or earlier.

          thanks Ashutosh. we'll see how it goes.

          illustrator doesn't mistakenly think I'm using a touch device anymore, which is a bonus.
