UI Features

You can already do both of these.

Hi, @Al32239965m9v0, let me take a stab at these.

First, I'm on a Mac, and I know this is possible on the Mac, PC, I'm not fully sure. But, on a Mac, I can either grab and drag a folder or a file from that folder and drag it onto the Bridge icon in the Dock, and it will open that folder. This is the way I access folders 99.9% of the time.

Here, I'm dragging a folder onto the Bridge icon

And here I'm dragging a file from a folder onto the Bridge icon

For the second question, I'll show you two variations on this AND give you a bonus tip

1) if the Content Panel is narrow, the way you turn off the name data is from a dropdown menu in the bottom right corner the of the window.

If the content panel is very wide, the dropdown menu is inserted into the bottom strip and you just need to check the appropriate box.

And for the bonus, you can have more than just the name shown underneath each image. That can be selected from the Preferences/Settings, here:

Let me know if this answers your questions,
