Adobe Bridge Photo Downloader does not import XMP / lines in "Edit metadata template"

I have a new computer, and unfortunately, I can no longer install Bridge 2022 from Adobe Creative Cloud. After installing 2026, I immediately remember why I stopped updating Bridge and continued using 2022. But now that I can no longer download 2022, I'm wondering if there are solutions to the following problems.

- I edit many photos on my laptop while traveling, entering all the information into the EXIF ​​fields.
When I get home, I want to download the photos from the memory card using the Adobe Bridge Photo Downloader. However, with the current version(s), it no longer includes the .XMP files when importing. So, only the photos without .XMP files appear in the import folder, and all edits and EXIF ​​information are lost. How do I include the .XMP files when importing?

- When editing metadata, I have several templates with presets. If I want to modify one of them, I go to "Edit metadata template." For example, in the description section, I have multiple lines of text describing the photo. When I want to edit the template, the 2022 version displayed the multiple lines directly on my screen. In later versions, I only see the first line of text (the box is one line high), and the box doesn't immediately become the same size as the text. Is it possible to make it the same size as the text? Because only the first line is visible, I've had old information remain because I deleted only the first line.
