Adobe Bridge 2023 recent folders bug

Since the 2023 update my workflow is hampered by change in folder behaviour. I often right click on an image in folder view and select "Copy To" which displays a list of Recent folder to pick from, and a "Choose folder" option at the bottom. It used to add the folder I selected in "Choose folder" to the Recent list but not longer does. Add to that the annoyance that each time I start Bridge and select "Choose folder" it goes back to the c:\Progam File.... folder by default and doesn't remmeber the last used. Both slowing me down no end - why have these features been removed?

Here's one easy workaround: put your current destination folder(s) in your Favorites; then it's easy enough to drag files into that from the Lightbox or Filmstrip views. I really hope they fix this in the next update. It's annoying to have one's entire workflow turned upside down by what I suspect is busywork to keep Adobe's software engineers from being idle.

I went to update my Bridge, says it's up to date, but most definitely wants to teach me not to use the recent files list and causes trouble. Is there a way to delete that list? And the fact the the place I want to copy file to is my desktop and it can't do it is pretty lame. So no, it's not fixed here, yet. Please have another look somebody?

I almost exclusively use Favorites.

OK have been unable to find a resolution to this so will no longer be using Bridge. Have found an alternative free product Faststone Image Viewer that does exactly what I need.

I do what you're trying to do all the time, but I do use a different approach. Here's what I do:

I have a folder selected in a Content Tab (call it Folder A) and the other folder in a second Content Tab (call it Folder B). As I'm working in Folder A on an image that's ready for Folder B, I mouse-down on that file(s) and drag it up to the Top of the Content Panel over the name of Folder B. When Folder B becomes active, I move the mouse down over the content region and let go. Then I switch back to Folder A to continue whatever editing or selection I need. This is easy, and there are no issues.

Could this work for you?
