I use Bridge almost exclusively with the Filmstrip workspace. With the new version, after adjusting the size of the filmstrip to a usable size, it takes up much more space than before, yet at the same time the thumbnails seem smaller and the file names get cut off.

Maybe it's the border or the permanent stars or the weird useless whitespace it below the images (why is that there?) but it really feels very clumsy.

Hi 55chevy,

Thanks for writing to us. We are reviewing all the feedback specific to UI changes done in CC 2019 and our designers are evaluating addressing some of the issues in the coming updates. We shall keep you posted and will also seek your feedback where needed.

I absolutely agree with you.

here is a comparison of my workflow to check the white background of images I work on in Bridge CC 2018, where I can set a white backdrop and Bridge CC 2019 where I cannot set a white backdrop, but just bright "Color Theme" (which is ridiculous, as this is a professional instrument for me)

@abhishek.seth please look at these screenshots

In Bridge CC 2018 and previous I can set absolute white backdrop and if any image have not absolute white background I will see, but in Bridge CC 2019 it's not possible and it became non usable for me.

And what is the reason to have a grey outline on each thumbnail???? why do I need it? It only make worse user experience!!!!

Please ADOBE, correct this unprofessional feature of COLOR THEME back to slider, where I can set a white backdrop.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!

Same here. The tiny dot for labels is a step back, along with the other changes that rob space from the thumbnail areas. The bar of color that ran under/around the stars was easy to see, quick to reference. These dots are small, harder to discern at a glance. Put the bars back. I've rolled back to 2018 to keep that feature, because the new design is a terribly shortsighted change.

Have same problem, just "updated" to new suite and yes despite "use your old settings" being asked now have interface that is totally different.

I'm guessing the stars thing is a "bug"

not gonna hold my breath

Two things,

1)  After the 2019 Upgrade I had to manually tell Bridge that a "psd" file belongs to Photoshop. Really ? No seriously, really ??

2) Favorites are links/shortcuts, we should be able to "rename" a link/shortcuts without having to rename a folder, even Windows let's us do that. It's a link. I have identical file structures on 2 different drives, the second is for archives (and for comment sake, the drive itself is labeled as an "archives"). I don't want to rename the folders in my archives.

Frustrated, I guess, from planet Mars ?

FWIW, numerous complaints/bug reports have been filed with the Bridge team about the new UI, to no avail. There are a bunch of outstanding bugs and everyone agrees that it is a step backwards.

I agree!! It just sucks of young designers who force their ideas upon established practitioners without options. I also hate in Photoshop 2019 this window that opens every time I close an image. I CAN"T SWITCH THIS OFF. SO ANNOYING. Does anybody know how to do this please?

I agree. The interface totally sucks. I like to see only previews and thumbnails on white, but if you choose the lightest interface you can hardly see the labels, etc. Come on Adobe. Please fix this.
