Bridge 2023 is a massive FAILURE

[Shlomit Heymann]

No Choice but to Downgrade Bridge to 12.0.3

As too many bugs and changes done to the latest version (13.0), especially give up New Window option for a content tab, so as many other problematic issues while working, this is the first time I'm unable to use an updated application by Adobe.

I can't believe that whoever thought that this update will serve the users is someone who works massively with Bridge.

I take it you're not a power user, using dual+ monitors in your setup (or heck, I use this left-side, right-side on my single larger monitor setup ALL the time).

The issues is the "multiple tabs option" as you said, or the fly-out "thumbnals ONLY" panel as I call it, is it's ONLY THUMBNAILS!!! There's NO folder tree. No ability to easily go into another folder, browse around. Totally cripples my workflow. Can't use it. I'm back to Adobe Bridge 2022 (which seems to run via Rosetta 2 on Mac, meaning it's NOT fully Apple Silicon compatible and ALSO very buggy...).

What a convoluted system. What was wrong with the file handling in 2022. 2023 is a complet mess. Back to bridge 2022. Yes get rid of bugs. But if the rest is not broken then don't fix it.

Unfortunately, it seems that modern software today becomes too huge and too complicated to be reliable. Probably smaller software companies will see their chance to come with nicely made not too big and complicated software solution. Looking myself... I am professional photographer and photo retoucher. All I need is small capable app to do my relatively simple tasks. I don't need 3D, AI mambojubmo nonsense. Give me old good tools THAT WORK RELIABLY. That's why I'll gladly switch to another app solution as soon as it comes to market.

Dito, add to list Bridge 2023 startup page now only opens with desktop page icons instead of last page viewed. It is a minor issue, but now every morning I have to click through all the folder I was currently working on the night before. With 2022, it popped right up on opening. I am sure there is a setting somewhere, but where o where can it be in the labyrinth? If they only had a manual that would help.

I'll be checking out Photo Mechanic.  Seems everytime I work. I'm working on screw ups from Adobe, not my actual photography.

But it's still horribly slow???? Please go back to 12 and start over. You seem to be building on broken foundations at this moment.
