Hi, is that really true? I just recognized that changing sort views in Bridge is very/too rigid. You have to go to the View menu with your mouse! Often, especially in different folders for different reasons, I would like to change the order fast, for example, from the manual order to the ascending order. Now I'm clicking, clicking and clicking. - It is hard for me to think that there is not an easy way to use your own shortcuts, in the similar manner as in PS. Is this true??? Regards, Tuomas

If your on a Mac you can change/add keyboard shortcuts in Bridge using Apple>System Settings>Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts>App Shortcuts (macOS Ventura) or Apple>System Preferences>Keyboard>Shortcuts>App Shortcuts.

I forgot to tell that I tried this option but Photoshop and Bridge are not shown in the list of compatible apps. - I would greatly APPRECIATE if someone would inform me if she/he knows a file browser something like Bridge but with real functionality to use shortcuts. I'm really fed up with Bridge: I would like to change _fast_ sorting options to see my photo series according to the time point saved, file names, sorted manually or not, details view etc. What happens now is that I'm messed in all kinds of cumbersome mouse movements to sort, using menu bar plus options in the file view. If I had a possibility to make a preset for each sorting option and to assign a shortcut to each of them that would something magnificent!!! Bridge is not good.

One more thing: When I change sorting options the photo thumbnails mostly are in a new messed order. So, to keep the photos in the order I want, one shouldn't do any sorting. Great!

Hi there, Are you missing this on the top right region of Bridge's window? The green arrow will change the sorting by ascending or descending.

And no, unfortunately, Bridge does not provide any means to customize keyboard shortcuts.

Hi,

OK. Thanks for your response. - That’s a pity. I feel it is confusing to deal with different files and folders with those assets that Bridge provides. A kind of mess, orders, sizes and views. Not very productive. There should be a way to choose instantly your preferable views!

Thanks,

Tuomas

One more question. Is it known that any photo file management tool would offer a possibility to create shortcuts of your own - plus being a decent app?
