Bridge

For a while not it's not been possible to edit Categories or Supplemental categories in Bridge. And now it seems you can't edit Urgency either. It's been a long frustration not being able to do this as it's something that I have to add to be compatible with uploading to the agency which represents my pictures. So, to add these I had to purchase and continue to use Photo Mechanic to be able to do this. It's an addition to workflow that continues to be a pain to be honest. Could Adobe keep this functionality within the Adobe family as opposed to users who need this functionality having to 'go elsewhere' to Photo Mechanic. It'f frustrating as I can see the categories etc in IPTC IIM Legacy, but not edit them.

It comes up with the error: HRESULT error: The GPU device instance has been suspended. Use GetDeviceRemovedReason to determine the appropriate action. This is super frustrating and even reinstalling it and restarting has had no effect.

KB shortcut to toggle between and close content tabs. New windows (now replaced by new content tabs) could previously be toggled between and closed using the KB. Please introduce, thank you.

In full screen mode all images look blurred and pixelated, even large and high resolution images. That used to be much better. Even images that have the native resolution of the monitor I use (4K), they are not previewed in the exact size when set to 100%. They should perfectly fill the whole monitor, but they are shown larger and zoomed in. This makes them pixelated.

TAB used to show or hide the side panels. Now this doesn't work anymore.

In the Batch Rename user interface, it is difficult to read the Current Filename and New Filename because there is no differentiation between the label and the text.Perhaps put colons after the labels, or set them in bold?

1) Super easy feature but will be super useful: add the total number of keywords assigned to an asset to the "assigned keywords" in the keyword panel and also in the asset "File Info" screen. Since a lot of stock agencies have an upper limit on how many keywords to assign, it's very easy to put more and have to delete the extra ones later which is time consuming. Having a counter in those places will save a lot of time!2) More advanced: have to ability set an upper limit to how many keywords can be assigned to an asset.

This is driving me absolutely insane to the point where I'm avoiding using Bridge 2023 as much as possible. The folders tab sorts the folder Alphabetically, but the Content tab sorts it numerically. I want both of them to sort numerically. Would you agree that 29 is smaller than 1210800 ? I would too.

In the 'Content' panel, when selecting multiple images, holding shift only works half the time. It will select the first and last but not the middle images. When reordering images it jumps back to the beginning of the scroll bar after moving something. Soooooo annoying!!!! Also the images reordering when you move more than 1, what is that?

I'm scripting in Adobe Bridge.As of 2023, app.document.setPresentationMode("browser", path) no longer works.app.document.presentationMode now also returns "undefined".I think this is due to the fact that the display method has changed to Content Tab. Will it be improved?

it's essential for me bridge to view and show alias files and folders properly. now it appears just like a thumbnail, so it's unusable. thanks

Bridge slideshow not working at all in the latest update, either via menu or spacebar

The new Bridge version 13.0.0.562 has a bright Title bar theme. It distracts the user, it's annoying. Can you set theme as OS settings? Thanks

Bridge used to have the function of displaying the total size (MB) for multiple selected files. Has been gone for many years. When emailing multiple files, it it vital to know the size of 3, 4 or more total files. Why was it removed? Now it only says . Damn. Bridge is going backwards in its usefulness.

I’ve always noticed the slow thumbnail generation speed, but right now I compared it to Blender’s default EXR thumbnail generation speed. Of course, you guys are creating higher-quality thumbnails and storing them on disk for me, but Blender takes seconds compared to minutes—a lot of minutes for 200 EXR files at 50 MB each.

The number of Arm and Snapdragon Windows PCs is increasing.Please make Bridge compatible as soon as possible.Many users are having trouble.

With the support of SBSAR , it should also be useful to support 3D files format like glTF, glb, or USD as well as ASD ...Either for Thumbnail generation but also for preview if possible.It should be useful too to extract some metadata like shader, appearance or scene info in metadata panel...

Adobe Bridge should include an automatic RAW & JPEG sorting feature, allowing users to group, separate, or filter files with the same name but different formats. A dedicated toggle should enable users to view RAW+JPEG as a single entry or split them into separate folders automatically. This would streamline workflow for photographers, reducing manual file management and improving efficiency.

It is absurdly easy to fowl up a Manual Sort order. There should be a warning that attempting to drag one image in the grid view will replace the existing manual sort order. More important there should be a way to backup the existing sort order and a way to restore a prior Manual sort order. This should be fairly straightforward by using and modifying the data in the folder UserSorts.

Would like to see thumbnails from standart CAD / CAM files like, STL, OBJ, 3MF and so - and even beter also with files from Fusion, Blender, Autocad and.......

I would love to see the lasso tool from photoshop in bridge. It would make it a million times easier to select objects.

When comparing 2, 3 or 4 similar images in Review Mode with the loupe, an option to sync the loupe on every image on the exact same spot with one click would be very helpful.

I’ve noticed a recurring issue when applying ratings to files in Adobe Bridge. Here are the details:Issue: When I apply a rating to a file, the screen "jumps" down by one file instead of staying in place.When it occurs: This only happens when I have scrolled to the bottom of the list of files.Expected behavior: The screen should remain stable, allowing me to continue working on the current view without the need to scroll back up.This behavior disrupts the workflow, especially when rating files at the end of a large list. I’d appreciate it if this could be looked into for a fix.Thank you for your attention to this matter

Bridge and ACR were working stable for me in 2024, now with version 2025, I experience very often - approx. 1 in 50 files crashes and lost edits.After I finish editing/masking in Camera Raw for extensive time, like creating around 10 masks (20 minutes work) - after clicking DONE - no edits are saved in sidecar .xmp file,- sometimes the file even disappear from working folder, and I do not find them at all, - or the file is moved to trash.At the same time I am experiencing freezing/crashes in ACR, which I have not have for at least 2 years.Extremely frustrating.Adobe user since the beginning of times.Apple MacBook M1 Max 16", 32 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD, 24 GPUMacOS Seqoia 15.2Bridge 15.0.1.412ACR 17.1.0.2100

Since the dawn of Generative AI, there are almost daily upgrades and updates of 'regular' applications and public betas. And because of unfortunate cases of some crucial bugs, users (like me) prefer to retain or even re-install older versions. This results in a myriad of file type associations, both on the system level as in Adobe Bridge.Almost tens or even hundreds times a day, I'm confronted with the need to check the file type association of a certain file before double-clicking it. The system has its default settings, and some updates don't touch that, but other updates or upgrades do. Next to that, Bridge has its own approach. And on top of that, with certain newer filetypes (like WebP) an application like Photoshop even doesn't show up yet in the system's list of available applications to open it...I lost track of any logic in the current or changing status of these settings, due to installing a new, a public beta, or even an older version of any application. Simply opening a fil
