I'm still recovering from the horrors of the Bridge V13 disasterous UI redesign, but I've learned to deal with many of the remaining issues - though the product has never been as useful or efficient as before... V13 was The Bridge Killer.  One thing that is still a huge pain (driving me nuts today especially) is the file path bar should live BELOW the content tabs. Additionally the rest of that bar AND the search bar should live on that same level.so it feels like the tab is actually associated with the pathso searches for each tab are unique and what is shown applies to its own individual tabso if you pull a tab out into a separate window you can tell what the heck is going on with that tab. Currently it's just thumbnails out in space with nothing... (See attached image).  

1. Please add a 'shortcut' key for 'close a single content panel' (ex., Ctrl+W). Every time I have to click on the '3 lines' option key to close one panel. That is annoying... 2. I wish the file name greyed out when the 'Ctrl+x' cut key was applied.

(1) The only cache option is to save the cache to a folder in my C drive.(2) However, there was an option to save cache to folders PLURAL. That is, each folder of photos had the cache saved to that individual folder. The difference / benefit was as follows:(a) I have over 700 GB of photo files, held in over 800 different folders (that helps me to find photos easily), and the total cache is 99,000 files totalling 70 GB. So if I want to refresh the cache, it can be a very slow process as the whole cache is updated - even when much of the cache is the same because I haven't changed the photos. And I also save the cache to an external hard drive, so a 70 GB save also very long.(b) The cache for most of the folders doesn't change once I've processed my photos to their final state. So the only cache change that occurs i

When using export presets in Bridge, it would be useful if you could create a preset that would create a subfolder, but prompt you for the subfolder name at the time of export. This way, one preset could contain all the parameters except the subfolder name, which (for me at least) changes with each project.

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!

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.    

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!

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!  

  in Bridge, Review Mode is unfortunately useless: if you select more than 4 photos, it displays a carousel and it's virtually impossible to get a clue of the photos you are going to take a look at. in Lightroom Classic, Survey Mode does the most intuitive thing: it tiles all the photos you select so you can, you know, review all the photos you are currently reviewing. Can the same layout be implemented?  

Hi there! Could it be possible when uploading RAW photos onto Bridge that have been taken in a B&W profile to be maintained in that way?Although you've configured your camera and all profiles to show how your pictures would look like in B&W, Bridge automatically surpasses all these ticks and leaves them in colour, making the selection of the ones to be finally kept (and developed in Cr/Ps) somewhat cumbersome... :-(( Thanks in advance.

(Also see Stephen Marsh's post in the Photoshop Ecosystem topic)I'd like to see the XMP Plus "Data Mining" field added as a selectable parameter in Bridge's Metadata panel. It allows users to allow or disallow data mining of the image, such as for generative AI training. Other XMP Plus fields, such as the "Licensor" field are already supported in Bridge. Information from the IPTC can be found here: https://www.iptc.org/std/photometadata/documentation/userguide/#_data_miningAnd the Specification can be found here: https://ns.useplus.org/LDF/ldf-XMPSpecification#DataMining

Bonjour, Pourquoi n’y a-t-il pas de détection visage sur les photos comme dans organizer de photoshop element ? Cela serait pratique pour classer les photos et identifier les personnes sur celles-ci

Hi there, I know I mentioned this a few years ago, but is there any way that the functionality of being able to add and edit categories and supplemental categories can be reinstated to Bridge? I currently have to pay for a separate editing software just to be able to do this, and given that the cost of Adobe CC is about to increase, it would be good to be able to do all this metadata within the Adobe umbrella. I can see the categories I add in Photomechanic, but can't edit them in Bridge (see attached screen grab). It would be amazing to be able to do this all in one place again! Thanks for any advice etc, Mike
