Before the update, Bridge would use certain defaults in terms of naming the files when I imported them from my SD card (I can't remember if I set these or it just remembed what I used previously). Now I have to set the filename type I use, my "creator" ID and folder name format every time I upload. What am I missing? (I use a Mac.)

Which problem do, you have "make sticky settings" or logging in issues?

The main problem is "make sticky settings" or set defaults. I'm running bridge on an iMac/Catalina & since the 2020 update, every time I import images, it defaults to the simple import dialog with "pictures/shot-date" as the destination. So EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I import, I must switch to the advanced dialog and set the path to the external drive. Why can't it just remember previous settings as it did for the previous dozen+ years OR give us something in program preferences to set the behavior? As a full time working professional who uses the program daily, this is becoming ever more infuriating as time goes by...

I am having the same problem; but also, PS, LR, and Adobe Desktop ask for me to log in each and every time I open the app.

I'm here to report the same problem. Before a recent update, this function saved the "last used" setting for destination, etc. Now I have to select this each time. The application got "more dumb" which I don't believe should be a feature of an update.
