Warning: Thisi s a rant. If you do not like rant, please skip this thread. Thank you

 

I really cannot believe. 

- I have Photoshop CS6 installed on my computer. 

- I have Photoshop and Bridge CC also installed. 

- Cs6 is not my default Photoshop version to use. It's just for certain times I may need it. (for example, being offline or not having internet connection.

- Photoshop CC is my daily Adobe app.

- Brdige CC has set my default app to Photoshop CS6 instead of CC.

 

Really in 2026?

 

- Even worse, Bridge CC (the latest version) is nto aware I have Photoshop CC installed in my computer.

 

Really in 2026?

 

- So if I want to go and change the default to CS6 to CC, I have to browse/navigate to the folder where Photoshop exe file is located because as I said Brdige CC does not see Photoshop CC simply because I have CS6 version on my computer.

 

- I have to do this for every single file type in the list, because Bridge CC does not have a batch processing feature for changing file types. There are about 50 or so file types.

 

How much time do I have to spend  to have this done.

 

Sorry for my Rant but I feel so frustrated with Adobe. They are so fixated on AI, they have ignored the user interface of their products needs some fixations.
