C4d name of newly created objects e.g. outlines
When selecting 'Create New Object e.g. when creating an outline of a spline, C4d renames the original, untouched spline to '[original].1'. It think that is confusing. I would rather have the new spline renamed to [original].Outline, or something else descriptive.

AE copy/paste keyframes on mutiple layers at once
I think it's time for AE to let the user copy and paste multiple keyframes on multiple layers in one go.
Because this quickly becomes rather messy and confusing, let it simply copy keyframes across layers/fx and paste those in the same layers/parameters where they come from, but with the first keyframe starting at the current time indicator, and all following at their respective offset in time.
A modifier-key added to [cmd/ctrl]-V will do.

Joining paths vs groups, graphs and text paths in Adobe Illustrator
What a bummer when we try to join two paths and Ai comes up with the following dialog:

Wouldn't it be great when Ai understands that we really want to join two paths, and offers to fix this for us?
It can take a lot of time to investigate what exactly causes the problem, while Ai itself probably knows exacly what the problem is.
Two solutions would be great:
-Let us choose to: release text paths, groups and graphs to join the two paths to achieve the result we want, or to leave everything untouched.
-Give a detailed error message: tell what exaclty blocks Ai from joining: textpath, OR group, OR graph.
