Since down loading Bridge 2023 today, it does not open with one click from the dock on my Mac, previous versions always did. Ps always does even now with 2023.

Its anoying, so can a quick tweak sort it please.

SEEverist is correct.

 

The issue is that this is a whole new build and did not replace the previous build. As such, the build you see in your Dock is linked to the previous build, which apparently was deleted when you updated (there is a checkbox option for this).

 

By starting the new Bridge from the Applications folder, you are starting the new version. Then as stated, just move the new Bridge icon to a choice spot on your Dock, and it will remain. Subsequent clicks with always start up this build.

Ive now come back to my mac and its back to as it was before, even though I have removed the icon from the dock several times and started Bridge from the applications folder?

Hi @Nikonuser70 I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand your statement. 

 

Are you saying that after starting Bridge from the Applications Folder, when you click on the NEW Bridge icon in the Dock, it is not opening the New Bridge?

Try removing it from the dock. Then start the program again, right click, options, keep in dock.

 

Then close it and try starting it from the dock icon.
