Could you add svg export option for whether to includ <title> block or not? You've removed it completely, but my current workflow relies on it. I understand some people don't want <title> block, but it's not an illegal svg element, and it exists for a reason. Please allow user to choose. Thank you!

There was a bug in 24.0 where we couldn't copy shapes from Photoshop over to Illustrator that should have been fixed in 24.0.1.

I've completely re-installed Illustrator with this 24.1 version, but I can't copy the shapes over again anymore.


I've tried the options given here:

But it didn't work for me

Hello - There's a problem with the "can't finish preview" again. Is it possible that the new update brought this bug back again?

It's been a while since the release, but this update is not appearing on my system. I hit the "check for update" feature a couple of times: I can only see v24.0.3. I'm in Belgium, but my system is set to English. thanks!

I have used some time, (since last time encouraged to update) an older version of illu and older version of ps. I thought I let everybody resolve things and try later. It crashed, destryed documents and didnt read its own previous files. 

The work when savings has been real slow. Sometimes it doesnt save, and dont tell me. Sometimes I save and I uncheck all layers and that normally works. Yesterday I uninstalled all versions illu and reinstalled the last. It ruined one of my vip documents to one board only now and it prostests when opening documents. I am on windows 10, should I revert to older version illu or is it working out for people? BRgds Ingela

 

installed last version yesterday

Real time drawing, I suppose is a good thing.  I enabled it and found that it just made my work a little clunkier and slower.  Some things hesitate before moving, and other things are probably too heavy to show the preview as it moves.  So I disabled it within minutes.  It's weird because when I use other programs that have this feature, I don't find any problem with it but I think it just doesn't work very well in Illustrator unfortunately.

This release is very buggy. Crashes almost daily and this is a clean install of Creative Cloud and Illustrator on a brand new Mac Book Pro. I've lost my saved workspace several times... 

 

Adobe please understand that we pay you a lot of money for this software. If you're going to charge this kind of money for a bunch of patchwork design tools that most people don't want or need, then the software NEEDS TO WORK.

 

Crashes, lost work, resetting workspaces, coming here to give feedback ALL COSTS TIME and TIME IS MONEY. You call this professional software, it is expensive -- don't release it unless it works. 

 

Affinity Designer may not have as many bloated features, but I can BUY IT for less than ONE MONTH of Creative Cloud. Yes, that's right PURCHASE IT, not rent it so you can force garbage beta software with features nobody wants. 

 

You need to get your act together...

 

One step closer to dropping this mess called creative cloud and moving to Affinity. BTW... have you met Quark?

I totally agree! 

I just installed the new version and now it crashes constantly, first I just could open it again with no problems but now it won't do anything and I was almost done with this job zo it sucks that I can't finish it!!! the person I'm doing this work for is waiting and I can use the money! Now I can't do anything!!!! I thought this was just a problem with me but clearly that is not the case!! The older version works just fine but I can't work on my files on the older version.
