I have a giant folder with thousands of files and thousands of keywords. If I want to find everything tagged with a keyword, I have two options: I can use the Find function, or I can filter by keyword.

The problem with the Find function is that it's slow. It can take a couple minutes to show everything tagged with that keyword, and then when I'm done and want to show everything from the original folder again, I have to wait for the original folder to reload.

The Filter by Keyword function is much faster. All I have to do is click the keyword and I can immediately see everything tagged with the keyword! But when I filter by keyword, it shows me a list of EVERY keyword alphabetically. I might have hundreds if not thousands of keywords, and there is no way to search through them or see them in their organized folders and subfolders. It simply shows all keywords alphabetically with no regard for their hierarchal structure. There is also no search function. This means if I want to filter by keyword, I have to scroll until I find the correct keyword, which itself can take a minute or two.

What I would like is to be able to have the speed of filtering by keyword, combined with the ease of finding a keyword that the keyword panel has. I am not sure what the best way to implement this is, but it seems to me like there are two possible options:

1) Add a filter by keyword function to the Keyword panel.
2) In the Filter panel, when filtering by keyword, show keywords in their hierarchical structure instead of a flat list and/or allow searching for a keyword.

Since I primarily use Bridge to search a single large folder, this would save me literal hours.

Values that are entered in the far right box of a criteria line in the "Find" (Search) box shouldn't be erased if the value in the far left box is changed. Often I will enter data into the far right box before selecting an option in the far left box, and then will have to enter it again. Very frustrating.

When adding a criteria line, the values in the far left and middle boxes should default to the same values as in the line before it. More often that not, I am adding lines with the same values, and it would save time not having to enter the values again in the new line.

Please enable keyboard entry with smart drop-down lists in the Find/Search box. Having to use the mouse and drop-down menus for this process slows things down considerably.

When I call up the Find box, my cursor should be in the far left box of the Criteria section, not in the far right box. I should be able to type in "key," and then have "Keywords" show up at the top of the drop-down options, and then use the arrow keys and Enter to select this option.

Ditto for choosing options in the other two boxes: I should be able to tab from one Criteria field to the next, start typing to bring up smart drop-down options for that field, and then use the keyboard to select an option. The goal is to not have to use the mouse at all.

Some of my Bridge keywords have hundreds of sub-keywords. For example, under the keyword, "People," are hundreds of sub-keywords, each being the name of a person. I would very much like a checkbox option next to the top-level keyword that will instantly show only the sub-keywords that are checked/used for the highlighted image(s). Another click on the checkbox would revert the sub-keyword list back to its entirety.

For example, if I would like to quickly see which people (sub-keyword) have been selected for an image or group of images, I would select the image or images, then click a checkbox next to the "People" (top-level) keyword. Only those people that have been checked/selected would show up in the sub-list until I click back to the full list of sub-keywords.

Currently, if I want this information, I have to manually scroll through hundreds of sub-keywords to find those that are checked. VERY tedious and time-consuming. Looking at the Keywords field in the metadata panel is no better - keywords are displayed in paragraph form, not in any particular order, and in small text, which involves a time-consuming search - and keywords are often overlooked when searching with one's eyes.

In the "Zoom in/out of user interface" in the preferences of the Windows version of Bridge, you can only choose 100% or 200%. It can only be set too large or too small depending on the display used.

Windows版Bridgeの環境設定にある「ユーザーインターフェイスの拡大・縮小」では、100%または200%しか選べません。利用するディスプレイによっては大きすぎるか小さすぎるかにしかできません。

So, for now, the response is to escape with the Windows side settings.

そこでとりあえずの対応ですが、Windows側の設定で逃げます。

1. Right-click on the Bridge icon.
2. Click on Properties. 3, Select the Compatibility tab. 4, Click Change High DPI Settings. 5, Override high DPI scaling behavior. checkbox and choose System (Extended) as the destination for scaling. 6, Click OK to close the properties sheet. 7, Restart Bridge and it will override the Windows display settings.

１、Bridgeのアイコンを右クリック。
２、プロパティをクリック。
３、互換性タブを選択。
４、高DPI設定の変更をクリック。
５、高いDPIスケールの動作を上書きします。にチェックをいれ、拡大縮小の実行先をシステム（拡張）を選びます。
６、OKをクリックしてプロパティシートを閉じます。
７、Bridgeを再起動すると、Windowsのディスプレイ設定で上書きされます。

I LOVE Bridge! I use it almost every day. I don't use Lightroom. My workflow is Bridge, ACR and then Photoshop.

My one complaint with Bridge is the Exif data, in particular how it shows the Exposure Mode. If I am shooting in manual mode it is fine and displays Manual. However, if I shoot in Aperture Priority or in Shutter Priority they both show as Auto, which is not Auto. It makes it frustrating when I have shot using both Av and Tv - in Bridge I can't tell which mode they were shot in.

I really hope you consider making this change. Thanks, Kc Wadddell
