How to view notes entered via file info>Description?

I can add notes to an image by right-clicking the thumbnail,  going to file info>Basic ,and writing in the Description box. After doing this, is there any other way to see, at a later time, what is written in the Description box other than right-clicking on the thumbnail again?

Metadata from imported new files, like JPEGS, is completely blank in Adobe BridgeOpen for Voting

I have files that I'm importing to my desktop from a USB and they were even keyworded on a different device. All the metatdata information apprears in the details pane of Windows Explorer, but in Adobe Bridge these new files are a blank slate for the metadata; even Creation Date and Modification Date. I can still add new keywords and such, but no former details exist in Bridge. Is there something wrong here? Am I just not understanding how something works?

Cursor in the Description metadata field does not stay where I put itOpen for Voting

Using Bridge 15.0.4.534 on a MacBook Pro M3 Max 16" (Nov 2023) running MacOS Sonoma 14.7.6. I have written some text in the Description field (IPTC Core) that applies to a set of images but want to add individual metadata info in the middle of what is already there. When I click where I want to edit the text often, but not always, the cursor jumps to the end of the text after a moment. Same behaviour in the Metadata panel and in the Metadata window that opens with Command-I. Not a big issue but still irritating.

Substance 3D file formats visible as thumbnailsOpen for Voting

While I can see .ssg and .sbar files in Bridge, I cannot see other formats like the Substance modeler .smod file format, as well as as common format that are common to plenty of 3D software, like .usd, .mtl and .obj       Thank you!

Zoom (+ "Fit to view") to Preview panelOpen for Voting

Some basic zooming ("fit to view" + pinch/scrollwheel) would be nice in the Preview Panel. I work on relatively small images, and the lack of "fit"/zooming keeps bugging me particularly on Mac Retina screens.  I'm not sure what is the reason there is only this small magnifying glass thing (found very little use for it myself), and would definitely prefer zooming the whole image myself instead. I'm sure both can exist at the same time though. Full Screen Preview supports zooming, but then it doesn't support custom keyboard shortcuts.

Custom label shortcut keys don't work on Full Screen PreviewOpen for Voting

Preset shortcut keys for labels (cmd+6, cmd+7, etc. or just 6, 7, etc.) work fine during Full Screen Preview. However, if you change them to Custom buttons (with or without modifier), they no longer work during Full Screen Preview. They only work while not in Full Screen.For example, this does not work in Full Screen Preview (works fine as soon as you exit full screen):Basically my root problem, though, is that you can't zoom the image in the Preview Panel, only in Full Screen Preview. I wouldn't mind custom shortcuts not working in Full Screen Preview if only it was possible to zoom image in the Preview Panel without entering Full Screen Preview. Affected versions (at least):- Beta 15.0.1.409- Beta 15.1.0.595Affected OS:- macOs Sequoia 15.4- Windows 11

Permanently filtering out non image files

Hi,When browsing in Bridge, I'd like to only see RAW files, JPEG files, TIFF files and that's it. I don't want to have to set these filtering options each time I open a folder or after I relaunch Bridge. This is an obvious feature that I can find in many other viewers. I can't believe that Bridge is unable to make this filtering settings sticky.What did I miss ? Thanks in advance.

Bridge Vorschaubilder gehen immer wieder in kürze verlorenOpen for Voting

Guten Tag, ich habe eine grosse Fotosammlung die gut 10000 Dateien umfasst und gut 9 TB Daten enthält. Alle Fotos sind auf einer Festplatte in Ordnern sortiert. Nur gehen immer wieder bereits eingelesene Vorschau-Bilder von heute auf morgen verloren und müssen von Bridge neu eingelsen werden. Dies kann je nach dem, mehrere Stunden Zeit kosten, da die Dateien sehr gross sind (von 500MB - 6 GB). Es ist unterschiedlich wieviele Ordner jeweils betroffen sind. Bin ich vermehrt am Arbeiten, sind es einzelne Ordner. Bin ich mehrere Tage nicht mehr am Mac, dann sind meistens alle Vorschaubilder weg. In den Voreinstellungen habe ich gewählt, dass die Vorschauen nicht gelöscht werden sollen. Auch ist mehr als genug Platz reserviert, (500GB, benötigt werden 90GB, auf dem Datenträger hat es noch über 1TB frei). Beim durchschauen der Einstellungen habe ich auf alle Fälle nichts gefunden das dieses Phänomen erklären könnte. Auf dem PC habe ich dieses Problem auch, allerdings

Files newly created in Photoshop not showing in BridgeOpen for Voting

I am a long-time user of Bridge and never experienced this problem before.  It began in the past few days. Bridge 15.0.4.534 and Windows 11 I am finding that, sometimes, but not always, a new file created in Photoshop does not show in Bridge. However if I close and restart Bridge the file shows. Also Tools>Cache>Purge Cache for Folder results in the file appearing. While the problem is intermittent, it happens frequently enough to be a nuisance. Any suggestions?

Bridge crashes on opening.

Bridge 2025 Mac Sequoia on Mac Studo. Opens then crashes. Message just says "Error." If I open with Cmd-Option-Shift and reset preferences and caches, then it works. But I have to do it every time I open Bridge.  Tried it on both Sonoma and Sequoia. Have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. When I reinstall and it asks if I want to use old Preferences, I click No.

Adobe Bridge FilmstripOpen for Voting

I use Bridge during online order sessions with my clients.  I use Filmstrip when comparing similar images.  Several versions ago, I was able to change the rating on one image in Filmstrip without affecting the other images.  Can we please get that function back? Thank you!

Bridge 2023 and 2024 not working

I'm trying to transfer photos from my SD card to Bridge and I am unable to open the both Bridge 2023 and Bridge 2024. There are no updates available, and I can't even open the app. When I try to open them, the dark gray background pops up and starts to load but immediately gives an error saying Bridge cannot be opened, and then I have to force quit. When I send an error report, it comes back with saying there are no workarounds right now. I'm photographing an event this weekend and need to be able to use Bridge by Monday

Hi there, Bridge (Mac version) which I normally use, suddelly stuck on a folder and its subfolders. Whenever you launch it, it returns on the same set of pictures. You can work on Settings but when you want to do anything else it gets stuck. I tried several times to delete the App and reinstall but it remains all the same. I cleared all caches and I'm really lost.The MAc is a mini M2 8Mb Ram. The folders extracted count some 1000+ elements. I hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance.

keyword panel in Bridge (original post said Lightroom Classic)

Bridge sometimes immediately goes to bottom of keyword panel after I click on a keyword in my list in that panel to add it to meta. It's a pain to have to keep scrolling up to find where i left off in my list.  Is there a fix?

Bridge 2023 preview jumping forward 2 images after deleting an image

Hi all,When I'm whittling images, Bridge has started doing this annoying thing of when I delete an image and then press the forward arrow to look at the next image it then jumps forward two images instead of just going to the next image. I have restarted the programme and the mac too and this has not solved it. I've reset bridge as well. Is this a bug since the last update?Using a 2020 iMac running Ventura 13.4.1I have added a video to show what I am referring too

Support for batch exporting JPEG with HDR Gain MapOpen for Voting

Hi, Adobe Bridge team.Currently, when using the export button in the ACR view, there is an option for us to enable HDR output, as shown below.  However, when multiply-select photos in the Adobe Bridge grid view, and then right-click to export, the HDR output option is missing, which makes it impossible to batch-export JPEG photos that has HDR Gain Map metadata.  The only workaround to do this is to import those photos to Lightroom CC and then use Lightroom to batch-export the JPEG photos with HDR Gain Map, but it's not convenient, as this workaround creates two different versions of the photos: both in my local storage and in Lightroom CC. Hoping to add the support for batch exporting JPEG with HDR Gain Map. Thanks!
