Horrible 2023 Bridge experience

[ChrisDN310]

I don't know why this year's version of Bridge is terrible, has more problems and issues than the 2022 version.  What have you done??  I seriously can't use this program in its current state.  I can't see all metadata, the program is not saving my work (on a PC and Apple computer), and the layout is not helpful at all.  This is a terrible product and taking more time to complete projects.  Plus, having to complain to you good people is not my intentions.  But I can't use this program anymore until a fix is done.

Hi, @ChrisDN310 You do realize you can set which metadata is shown and which is not shown — this is user controlled.

Bridge cannot "save" work as it's only a viewer. If you are viewing images in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), you can click on Open (where it will Open in Photoshop, Done (where it will keep what you've done but close ACR (and the image)), or Cancel (where any and everything you've done in ACR is not saved).

The layout is VERY flexible, and a variety of Workspaces are provided as a starting point. You can vary them as you choose, move Panels around (or eliminate Panels from a Workspace), and save the resultant Workspace(s) as you so choose. What is the specific issue you are having?

What (exact) version of Bridge are you using, and which OSs (Mac and/or PC) are you using?
