I did find THIS elsewhere on the Forums:
“Bridge Photo Downloader does not retain settings:
I’m using Adobe Bridge CC 2019 ver. 9.0.2.219…
Adobe Community ProfessionalHere’s what I did to get preferences back (note this is for Windows 10; For Mac:
(On a Mac, the location is here: /Users/[You]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/…)
On Windows 10, in Windows Explorer, go to:C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Adobe(If you don’t see it, the AppData folder is hidden by default, because companies like Microsoft don’t think you should see it to rectify a problem and you’re dumb. Use View > Hidden Items on Explorer’s menu bar to see it.)Create a folder named, “Bridge CC 2019” (without the quotes, of course) in the Adobe folder. And that’s it. Try and launch Photo Downloader. Change some settings, download some images and exit. Then try it again to see if your settings stuck.What I surmised is that the code for Bridge CC 2020/21 is maybe trying to point at the Bridge CC 2019 folder for its “APDPreferences.xml” file, which the Photo Downloader needs to reference for saved settings. If you noticed, after noodling around in Photo Downloader, the APDPreferences.xml file is created in the empty Bridge CC 2019 folder we made earlier.
Soooo…yay! It’s working again."
