Bridge 2023 issues

Hi, I have installed a new Bridge and unfortunately the changes made to it make my earlier workflow very difficult compared to the previous version:

- Enter works like a cursor in the content panel instead of opening files

- preview colors of photos (all types of files) are completely different than displayed in PS. I tried to change the color spaces of the monitors, but it only introduced chaos and I don't know how to go back to the previous settings

- enlarging the size of the thumbnaili using ctrl + scroll does not work, and the magnifying icon under the panel, e.g. "content", overlaps other icons if it is squeezed, making it impossible to use it

- the overall layout is worse in my opinion and it cannot be adjusted to my requirements and habits

I wanted to go back to the older version, but then the cooperation with the new PS does not work (e.g. image processor) and I think I will have to downgrade the PS to the previous version as well, so these new updates do not make much sense to me.

Do other users have it too?

Is there a link to the lousy programmers of Adobe Bridge??? Do they even read what the users write???

Adobe bridge 2023 does not support graphic cards as previous versions do. My solution was not to use the graphic card and use software rendering instead.

Thumb buttons on my mouse no longer work for navigation in Bridge. This is a MASSIVE pain

Cannot help you unless you provide your OS (and what release) and what kind of mouse you're talking about.

This is a bridge problem not an OS/mouse issue - impacting all installs across both widows 10 and 11 on old and new workstations with various mice, and is one of the numerous instances of old polished shortcuts being completely non-funcitonal or stripped out of the new version for no apparent reason.

Adbobe Bridge 2023 Users seem to be misused as Beta-Tester. Adobe should pay for that waste of time!

Agreed. And its peak editing season for many people. We have zero time to waste on this.

Thanks for the heads up on the incompatability of the old Bridge and new Photoshop. I've just uninstalled Bridge 2023 as I could not set up and save my workspace as I had it previously. Why is this not saved in any upgrades! I really wish Adobe would not release softward and then use their users as beta testers. NOT HAPPY

Arrows keys don't work on Bridge 23. Really annoying!!!!!

To select bunch of photos, before was click on one photo with shift key, then drag to last photo you want to select. Now click on one photo with shift on doesn't allow you to sroll up or down. Must click on photo 1, scroll and then click on last photo with shift. OR click on photo 1, then use arrow with shift key to go to last photo. !!

in addition to arrow keys not working, the cursor often disappears...

Pressing enter to open a folder or file isn't working for me, it does for a short period of time, then does nothing. Super annoying, and going to revert to earlier release until this is resolved.

Some, but not all, .png files do not have thumbnail images. This was not true for Bridge 2022 or 2021. How do I fix this?

Sorry, my backup Bridge 2021 version 11.1.4.213 now also has no thumbnails for .png files created and on my Desktop file in Mac Finder, but copied to an external drive. I had trashed the desktop files. Now I recopied the files in the trash to the desktop where they have thumbnail images. I recopied them to the external drive and now all but two of them have thumbnail images. I'm hoping this is a temporary issue. Maybe you should wait until I see how this issue progresses.

Yes, I am having difficulty also. The cursor jumps around and labels do not work at all. I use labels extensively in my workflow as a professional photographer. This is the most dissapointing release of Bridge ever. I am using a Mac OS 11.7. I ecven tried to reset preferences and clear cache. Tried to go back to a previouys release, but the only one I could find in my applications was Bridge 2019. Very frustrating.

Update: I was able to reinstall the previous version of bridge from Creative Cloud but it now does the same thing. Labels no longer work. I hope adobe is actually reading these comments.
