Can you please bring back the feature to open multiple windows? This was a big usage element and would work great alongside the new multiple content panel feature.

Hi Adobe,

Why can't you just leave Bridge the way it was? There are 1000's of professionals who use it every day. It's so frustrating having to relearn and find workarounds for things like opening and using multiple windows. What possible use does it serve?!

Please just leave all the operational stuff the way it was. Graphics, photography and picture editing is all deadline driven, it's so frustrating when the tools you use every day are all in different places or don't do the same things as they did previously. Why do you feel the need to change basic tools and layout?!

Many thanks,

Dan

Looks like there is hope for the future: https://community.adobe.com/t5/bridge-discussions/adobe-bridge-beta-is-now-available/td-p/13439655

"we are hearing your requests about reintroducing Multiple Bridge windows. This Beta release does not include this requested feature, but the Bridge team is working on it, analyzing the use cases, and constructing an appropriate action plan. Please stay tuned."

Wow, that's some snagging list of issues the beta is addressing; I'm glad I went back to 12. By the time they include multiple instances again it might be robust enough to use.

I need this as well - I need to have 2 windows open to compare the contents, I used to do this a lot with previous versions - I need the "content" and the "preview' tabs wisible for both - hence the 2 windows... Also I tried to open a new Content tab and got the message "Maximum tabs open"

this really is not functional at all.

Feature vanished, and Bridge will NOT create new content as per your instructions.

Why reduce functionality so drastically?

This has been an absolute disaster. This new modular system in the UI now has my navigation stuck underneath the top menu bar. I can't close tabs, rearranging panels doesn't help. I can't navigate between folders. I need a fix for this asap

It's cute there is a section within Bridge called "Workflow"
anyway, can't close a tab without using a dropdown menu, why not have an X to conveniently close it? Yeah, sounds like Adobe cares about "Workflow"

I had to go back to the previous version due to this inability to create new windows in Bridge. Please bring back this feature.

I now have two versions of Bridge installed.
I just updated to version 13.1 hoping this issue had been addressed. But alas no.
The New Window ferature was a major component of my work flow as I use multiple drives.
I also use the Image Processor a lot from Bridge. I can't do that now from Bridge 2022 because it won't link to Photoshop despite reinstalling and trying various options. This is rediculous.

Please bring back the New Window oprion!

You have to completely uninnstall bridge and re-install the previous version, you'll get the image processor function back, I'm guessing it's to do with a registry entry line that identifies the version of photoshop being used, I reinstalled the previous version of PS as well just to be sure. Absolute car crash!

@neale.smith.photo you are half right. There is a link between 2021 Bridge and PS but that's because some features in one need the other.

However, when reinstalling, it's important to install PS after Bridge. This is because the scripts that show up in Bridge come from PS. However, if Bridge is not installed at the time that PS is installed, it looks around and if it doesn't see Bridge, it cannot install the scripts into Bridge.

So ALWAYS install Bridge first before other applications. It's not Adobe's fault, it's just the way things work.

Crickets from Adobe on this situation...This tabs feature is pure trash as are these 2 "correct answers"! Not intuitive or user friendly at all, if this is the direction we are forced to go why is ther not a keyboard shortcut to cycle through these open tabs like there was to cycle through open windows when we had the option to use that? At least give us that. You're telling me we have to reach up and scroll through these tabs to choose the one we want to work on like it's 1987?? Garbage! Completely slowing down our workflow. Also when we open a new tab the first place 90% of us want to go to grab a new folder to work from is the desktop. What happened to commad D for Desktop?? Just go back to the way it was and stop trying to be slick, it's not working! Bridge was perfect before, you are killing our workflow 😞

I strongly prefer the ability to open multiple windows as opposed to the multiple content panels. Hard stop. Keep the multiple content panels for those who like it but don't take away the ability to open multiple windows. It's completely intuitive for managing multiple projects and using keyboard shortcuts to toggle between each one. It's such a fundamental part of my workflow (and I'm obviously not along here), I'm really surprised this was given the green light. This is akin to removing the ability to use the TAB button to isolate the content + preview panels. Oh wait, you removed that too. What a head-scratcher this release is, Adobe. Did you not consult a single working photographer about these changes?

Disaster, idiotic, tell-me-this-isn't-happening - I'm amazed that I have to write this at all. I've often thought that Adobe is genius and moron simultaneously, here's more proof that I was right. And I thought Microsoft couldn't be topped for failed "improvements".
I used to use Bridge for everything, even bookkeeping, it's essentially Windows Explorer and Mac Finder, just much better. Well, now I can't have my multiple windows with a quick key-press. There goes my workflow.

Oh, and by the way, I'm a seasoned commercial photographer and teach graphic design professionals at college level. So, if Adobe is listening, you can go the way of Kodak and Polaroid and live in your bubble or wake up fast. I would appreciate a sign of life from an Adobe employee in the form of a response.

Can't agree more. Sounds like we have similar backgrounds and use Bridge in a similar fashion for digital asset management. My question remains: Will Adobe wake up and listen or will it continue touting itself while its users scream at the mess they've created? I fear we know the answer.

the new tab solution does not work for me. How can I open different windows in which then the naviatgion flow options for the window is within the window. right now it is completely confusion, which tab you navigate, if you detach the tab and make two or more visible to be able to drag and drop.
