Good.  NOW KEEP IT THIS WAY.  Your main "Investors" are We-The-Users...so maybe run some of these decisions by us first, before you eliminate important features(for no good f'n reason at all.)

I've just installed the new beta Bridge 2023; the fix needs fixing. Running on Windows 10, the labels on the taskbar used to have the Bridge logo and the folder name (Illustrator, PSD, PGN) displayed so I could quickly call up the window I wanted. The new Beta labels them Adobe Bridge (Beta), Adobe Bridge (Beta) (secondary window), Adobe Bridge (Beta) (secondary window)... etc., defeating the whole FAST WORKFLOW objective. This is so important to so many people; why don't Adobe ask us?

Hi @AndrewSouthard ,

 

Thanks for reporting this. We are investigating this and keep you posted once the fix is available in future Beta drops.

BIG thanks to everyone who posted about the Adobe update and the option for New Window. They also put in the ability to customize keyboard shortcuts, too -- yeah!

 

Thanks, Adobe!!

At last, new window is back! Only in Beta so far, I haven't tried it but thank goodness they listened!

@AndrewSouthard and anyone else reading: do try this. Remember that Bridge, by itself, does not touch any file (it only looks at them), so it is extremely unlikely to do any harm to your files.

what about stars beneath the files and other metadata? If this is changed in Bridge, Photoshop displays a note that says the file has been modified outside of Photoshop, or "Changed since last save"

Initial impression is good - using Bridge feel reasonable again.

Please can we have NEW window back NOT a new content tab!

— we often need to preview and drag-drop content from different sources across to different Bridge windows.

 

REALLY annoying that a simple 'new window' or new instance of Bridge seems to be impossible now!!

Its not ust the New windows, do people not think that the whole app just feels old, slow and clunky now? especially the file navigation panel, double click on folders never seems to work, and it jutters and jerks like crazy - have they re-built in from scratch or something??

I suspect it was a major rewrite, which is why they can't just wind it back. There was a post somewhere that suggested they were looking at reverting to 'new window' but that was months ago and nothing yet. I think they've broken it for good, sadly.

Why did Adobe think this would be a good idea?!  I legit think they altar properly working features just to change things for a new update.  Change this BACK!

Like others, I use 2022 for all general work, then for Image Processing of larger numbers of photos through Photoshop I close 2022, open 2023 for the batch processing, close that, then open 2022 again. Great solution – NOT!
