New Bridge Content Tab is awful...

When Adobe updated Bridge, they forced the word "Content:" onto every single folder tab. It clutters the workspace, looks highly repetitive, and aggressively truncates your folder names so you can barely see which tab is which.

Hi,

The latest beta build 14.0.0.57 brings back support for multi-window feature. 
For complete list of features available in the build please refer

Ive been using Bridge professionally for 10+ years now.. and here I am,  searching the internet trying to fiugure out how to use Bridge again.  Im convinced Adobe arubtrarily changes things so that updates look "updated".  This new content tab BS is so unnecessary.

What makes me want to rip my hair out over the new tabs is that it is hair trigger sensitive. I am constantly rearranging the tabs by accident by the barest of touches in the wrong place. It happens over and over no matter how careful I try to be. I want to scream I'm so frustrated by it!! In general, I like the new tabs, but this one thing is horrid!! I just accidentally closed the Folders tab and I don't know how to get it back!

AMEN to this comment. Do they even test their "upgrades" before having billions of users use them? You couldn't convince me.

+1: I hate the 2023 Bridge

Making the Content tabs even worse is the limitation on the length of folder name- it truncates the folder name by trimming out the middle section of the folder name - so if the folder is named "2023_01_20_Water Meadows"   it becomes "2023_01....er Meadows"     - not very handy if you are switching between folders in the tabs...  

I absolutely hate the new version of Bridge.  The tabbed interface is clunky, introduces errors in to the pipeline, and is generally experienced as a much worse experiencee than previous versions.

For those of us in production we typically have a fixed folder structure for projects.  Many projects have folders that share the same name and have subfolders that share the same naming.  It's incredibly easy in the 'forced' tabbed setup to begin working on the wrong set of files (e.g. V002) when we've got several tabs open that have the same files but are in their version folders.  Now we must contantly waste time checking in Bridge to confirm that we're in the correct tab and not working on the wrong version of images.  This is an introduced flaw in the workflow chain and there's no excuse that warrants removing a long standing 'way of doing things' by forcing users to use an absolutely awful tabbed UI.

I agree. This is 2 steps forward, 4 steps back. Adobe has taken away the ability to tab between windows and leverage keyboard shortcuts which is what all power users THRIVE on. To expect users to click between content panels is unacceptable.

Wow - after a week or two of using the new Bridge version I really can't stand it.  It's awful.  Tabs confuse the workflow unnecessarily if you have Project folders that share a common structure (e.g. V001, V002, V003, etc.).  It turns a well established workflow into a nightmare.  Adobe... What you think is progress should not come at the cost of professional users having to throw away solid and proven workflows.  An option to deactivate tabs is critical if I'm going to continue using Bridge.  I'm really put off by how Adobe changed this with no regard for how it would affect users.
