Bridge 2023 numerous bugs - unusable

[Lumigraphics]

Unfortunately at this point, I am unable to use Bridge 2023 in my production workflow because it is very, very buggy.

This list was compiled on Windows 10 Pro, have not yet been able to do much testing on Mac. I do have both Intel and M1 Macs so I will be evaluating it there.

- Move only, no copy for drag-and-drop, even if Option key held down
- Favorite not highlighted during drag, making it difficult to determine the drag target
- "No Labels" and "No Ratings" in Filter panel (should be "No Label" and "No Rating")
- Text spacing in Details mode, still VERY poor layout and use of space. I bugged this several versions ago in pre-release and it hasn't been addressed
- No drive info (used/free/items) (this is basic, vital info.)
- Metadata panel, poor text layout and wrapping (items truncated instead of wrapped, uses way too much space)
- No tooltip for truncated panel text (Impossible to see what has been truncated)
- Difficult to dock detached panels
- No scrollbar arrows, too narrow scrollbars (use of custom scrollbars instead of system controls, please put arrows back.)
- Poor performance with large folders
- Tabs hard to distinguish (tabs should have clear outline)
- Active Content tab indicator does not follow HIG (blue square) (we just went through this with the Share button in Photoshop. Better tab outlines would eliminate this issue)
- Cannot right-click to add panel to panel group
- Filter panel intermittently not correctly updating, especially with large folders
- Metadata panel may incorrectly show "Multiple values" when only one file selected
- Cannot open Windows shortcut in Content panel
- QuickSearch history intermittently not retained
- Metadata.applyMetadataTemplate() not working (ExtendScript)
- Metadata panel doesn't stay expanded when changing file selection

Is Metadata.applyMetadataTemplate() not working (ExtendScript) still not working in Bridge 2024 v 14.0.4?

Spent few hours to debug until I find this thread.

I haven't tested it recently. I have scripts that rely on this and its one more reason I am still on Bridge 12.

The latest version of Bridge is fine. The earlier problems have been
completely solved.

Um, no, actually, its not fine. There are still LOTS of bugs. And Bridge 15 will be out at Adobe MAX (with a bunch more bug fixes.)

[William29499344m7wj]

I have tested and it is not working on Bridge 14.0.4.

I can't find this issue mentioned in known issues or fixed issues. Probably got ignored by the team.

Which issue are you referring to?
