So ONCE AGAIN the developers at Adobe decide to eliminate something that is very important to us. I have .workspace files that I SHOULD be able to import into Bridge 2024 in a clean install on a new PC (therefore nothing to migrate under the hood), and now these workspace files are useless. I've been a software dev for over 20 years which is why I am so ticked. YOU HAVE TO THINK OF THE END USER, not your "great programming ideas" that are going to expand features and leave everyone totally stuck. The Devs broke print preview in Photoshop a few years back and didn't fix it for almost two years. I make large format landscape prints, you can imagine how that went. Not long into the original subscription model, Adobe didn't put proper measures in place and our accounts got severely hacked. We got so much filthy ungodly spam I had to delete my longtime custom-domain email address. Now, we tell Bridge users, TOO BAD what you saved, we decided to change the format and you can't use the workspace you meticulously set up, so just start over. I've been an Adobe customer for nearly two decades, certified in Photoshop and even on the Beta team for the certification exams several years ago. I have time and money invested because there are GREAT tools, like no other, but when the developent team purposely breaks our User Experience, yep, I'm ranting about it. FIX IT, ADOBE... it's very simple: Put a .workspace import feature in Bridge.

Hi Vanessa. Your 2021 problem was solved, then broken again by subsequent versions. Here we are in 2024. The ability to SIMPLY export a workspace from your desktop, and then import for your laptop, still doesn't exist. It appears it never will. Too bad. The effort it takes to get Bridge to do what it can do for a user, is lost when you switch computers. This isn't unique to Bridge or Adobe. Computers have become a tool that takes so much maintenance that we spend more time working ON the tool then working WITH the tool.

End of rant.
