P: Why was auto-complete in File Info removed from the latest (2014) version?

When using the File Info section of the previous version of PS CC prior to the newest 2014 version, I could simply type in the first one or two letters of any of the fields and the program would auto-fill (or suggest) the rest of the text for that field. With the newest (2014) version of PS CC it isn't doing that...and I'm told this feature was no longer included in the newest version. To me that's ridiculous that they removed this feature, as it saved me a ton of time. Is there any way that we can request that this auto-complete feature be reinstated into the newest version?

Adobe is joining the list of companies that do not value their customers
They think that have everyone hooked via the subscription
But several other companies are coming up to speed and Adobe will lose customers
Especially if they continue to disrespect us

Please let your customers know that you value them
Restore the information in File / File Info so it shows  up if it has been typed in previously?
Why is Adobe making me retype everything every time?
And no, I am not using LR for this feature ... I m editing a photo and want it back in PS where it was
Guess I will go back to using PS6
Aren't there enough examples of how you don't care about us anymore now that you've gone to the subscription?

Now that Bridge will also migrate to HTML5, it is urgent to update that panel! https://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/adobe-bridge-cc-support-for-html-5-based-plug-ins-coming-soon/

Bridge can be a real asset, look at its key wording abilities, full screen preview with space bar (make sure that the preference for full screen preview is set), it can also pilot Photoshop to create jpegs from raw, for instance (tools>photoshop>image processor...

I don't use Bridge much, so it would involve opening another app. As for now, it's worth the extra cut and paste. Really annoying.  I thank you so much for the tip and will experiment with using Bridge in my workflow!

Helen, for the moment, I do use Bridge's file info to input data with the previous entries available.

Let me add my voice to this discussion/request.  Why would they remove such an important feature for people who, like us, process lots and lots of photos?  Makes no sense and is very disappointing.

An important feature has been removed from recent versions of Photoshop CC, and I'd like to request that it be restored:
In the original version of PhotoShop CC, if you went into File>File info to add information, the auto-fill feature would complete the word. Although I try to put in most keywords when importing photos,information often has be be added in later. In Photoshop CC, as in the previous versions of Photoshop, it would recognize familiar words and fill in the fields. In Photoshop CC 2014 and 2015, that feature is gone, and can add an hour or more a week of repetitive work. Please restore the feature!

Thank you.
