Feature Request for Adobe Bridge – Folder Creation Presets

Product: Adobe Bridge

User role: Professional Photographer

Category: Workflow / File Management

 

Feature Request: Custom Folder Presets for One-Click Folder Creation

 

Hello Adobe Bridge team,

 

I am a professional photographer who uses Adobe Bridge every day to organize, review, and classify shooting files. Folder structure consistency is a critical part of my daily workflow.

 

Current limitation

At the moment, Bridge only provides a single “New Folder” button. Each time I create a folder, I have to manually type the folder name.

For professional users who repeat the same folder structures every day, this becomes unnecessarily time-consuming and error-prone.

 

Typical real-world workflow

For almost every shooting day, I create folders like:

  • Select

    • JPG

    • RAW

  • Sometimes additional folders like MP4, Export, etc.

This process repeats dozens of times per week, always with the same names and hierarchy.

 

Proposed feature

 

I would love to see Custom Folder Presets added to Adobe Bridge, for example:

  1. Preset folder buttons in the UI (near the existing “New Folder” button)

  2. Each button creates a predefined folder name with a single click

    • e.g. Select, JPG, RAW

  3. An advanced option to define folder structures with subfolders, such as:

    • One click creates:
       

    • Select

      • JPG

      • RAW

This would allow users to:

  • Create consistent folder structures instantly

  • Reduce repetitive typing

  • Avoid naming inconsistencies

  • Significantly speed up daily file organization

 

Why this matters

 

For professional photographers, Bridge is not just a browser—it is a core production tool.

A small feature like folder presets would provide huge workflow efficiency gains for high-volume users, without adding complexity for casual users.

 

Thank you for considering this request. I believe this feature would be highly valuable for photographers, videographers, and anyone who relies on consistent file organization in Adobe Bridge.

 

Best regards,

A power user who heavily relies on Adobe Bridge

    This could be done easily with a script. Below is a sample/demo that reads and creates folders from a text file. You could just hardcode the folder names if you wanted.

    I see that your suggestion could be useful if implemeted - a big if!

    Is what I do of any use in the meantime?

    I have a dedicated location for new photos (actually on a separate drive but that is not particularly relevant.) I have a folder created ready in that location with subfolders in place similar to what you would like to see. That is only one such folder of course but if more of the same are required, right click on the folder and there is a “duplicate” option which gives you another identically structured folder. Repeat as often as required!

    Hope that is of some use to you.
