Question

Bridge Interface and other settings and preferences

For users with multiple devices, it is frustrating to have to duplicate or triplicate modifications made to settings in Bridge, when you move your work in other devices. There are myriads of reasons why this is a necessary fix: most obviously photographers editing or managing their files on the road or while  traveling. Having to reinvent the wheel for application consistency when Adobe Cloud exists seems unnecessary.

I appreciate and respect Adobe applications and use many of them. What is the reason for hurdle?

    Hi @deborahs49363549, I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I know what you're point is here. Can you provide an example?

     

    Thank you

    Hi,
    The example is:
    I make a myriad of changes and modifications to the preferences and settings in my Bridge app that determines how my workflow is managed and how my images are processed and saved, on my desktop computer.

    Later that day, I am away from my office and I have to work on my images, so I open Bridge app on my laptop. None of the functions and parameters that I set exist. It’s like it never happened. I start over.

    Oh, OK, I get it; thanks for being patient with me.

     

    Sadly enough, years ago, you could save your preferences for any application in the cloud. You could then download those preferences to ANY computer you were logged in to with your Adobe account. 

     

    Besides some dreadful wording in the UI that make it very confusing as to which way the saved preferences were going (in or out), there were some other complications that also derailed the project. It was removed after a year or two (sorry, I do not recall the specific details right now).

     

    Look, I'm all for what you're talking about. Really! But I'm not an Adobe employee. In fact, very few of us in these forums are; mostly, we're volunteers helping folks with basic answers or complicated answers depending on our knowledge.

     

    About the only thing I can think of is for you to send the 2nd version of your issue to: 

    Adobe Bridge Feedback - UserVoicehttps://adobebridge.uservoice.com

     

    Adobe does look at these comments, but sadly, do not hold your breath. Adobe, in general, has not shown any inclination to implement what it already had. And for the Bridge team, in specific, they've already have a lot on their hands; this will be way down on the list of things they need to deal with right now. 

     

    But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try; if you do not ask, the answer will automatically be "No!"
