Bridge not opening aliases on desktop anymore.

[alexander251726030u8t]

Just encountered a small issue with Bridge 2023. I often put folders of new work on an exteral SSD until I know which images I will be working on.  I use aliases to point to the extrernal folders. Previously Bridge would just see these and open them as if it was the destop etc. Not a present on 2023. I have however discovered that you can right click on the alias and select Reveal in Bridge. Just an anoyance and I'm sure it'll be rosolved soon.

I have encountered the same issue. Bridge can no longer open lnk files. The only way around this is to right click on the shortcut and select Reveal in Bridge. It would be nice to be able to just click on the shortcuts.

Same problem. It was useful to navigate through folders but now it is too difficult. Also the icon image is the same in links and folders, so you can't differenciate where's the problem until you check in your PCExplorer.
Using 'Reveal in Bridge' only works if you have Bridge totally closed, if not, it won't appear.

Please fix it, the workflow is harder now and we waste our time in open/close programs and looking for the folder to open, etc. Last version used to work better.

The same problem here! A fix is needed soon!

I have the same problem too. Alias folders don't open from Bridge.

The same problem occurs here: click on an alias doesn't work. Right click on an alias and chose "reveal in Finder" will go straight to Finder and after that to the right folder and opens it. So the alias is good. 'Normal' folders in Bridge react good.
Mac Ventura 13.5 (22G74)
Adobe Bridge 13.0.3.693
I use the aliases for shortcuts to my NAS folders.
