New Bridge finds more ways to increase workflow time

So besides the fact that I can no longer use Control N to open a 2nd or 3rd Window of Bridge and compare directory contents, here is another setback.
I go through all my day folders and add descriptions, which are mainly species names. I also add keywords and other data. When I have updated many folders with such information and weeded sufficiently, I renumber the files according to my system and then add the description to the file name. So this new Bridge has the feature that if I Bridge search, for example, all the files, that have 'bald', it will find all the Bald Eagles and I apply the name to the batch. However, unlike before, on the next search, if I go to find all the ones that have 'Kestrel' amd then highlight the result to rename, they all show they have Bald Eagle in the description. The correct name won't appear, unless I go to an individual file and click in the description name, then it goes away and can be replaced. Then I must verify, in this instance that 243 found files have the correct description before batch renaming. Each time I do a new search, the selected files show the description of the previous, and sometimes doesn't change to the correct one immediately when I click the description. Since Bridge no longer shows thumbs of videos, I had to use 2 or 3 other programs just to verify the subject matter in the first place. These techs just keep ways of finding additional hours of time to what was once a smooth operation back with CS6. Example, Geese, not Hawks in picture.
