It would be nice if there were a 'Get Info' command in Bridge for each file and folder. More times often than not I have to find information about a file whose information is not contained in the metadata window. For this I have to 'reveal in finder' and then 'get info'. It would be nice to have that as a shortcut in Bridge or display that full information in a panel to the side.

Hopping back to the finder is a bit cumbersome and makes me want to stay in the finder to work after that, rather than use Bridge, and I'd rather use Bridge.

Bridge 2020: In the watermark feature in Output, you used to be able to adjust the text size to whatever font size you needed to cover the image, now it only goes to 48 which is really small. I usually work with text at 125 and am no longer able to do so. I really need this function fixed, otherwise it's almost a pointless feature at this tiny size. Also, not a fan of the Output Preview page and the fact that the Output Settings reset every time you close the program. Can we please go back to 2017? That version worked perfectly!!!

Keywords can already be arranged in a hierarchy: Countries --> USA --> California --> San Francisco

According to this hierarchy, it implies that any picture with the keyword California also belongs in the more general keyword USA. However, the search doesn't work that way. This is fine if I create the hierarchy of keywords first, and then add the keywords, but if I have an existing photo already tagged with 'California', and NOT tagged with 'USA', then it would not be found when I search for USA.

The search could be made more powerful by allowing the use of the hierarchy of keywords.

I now have two versions of Bridge (9/10) on my machine after this last update. The new version did not create a desktop shortcut, and if I open one version the other will not open and vice versa. Am I supposed to pick/choose between the two for some logical reason? If so, what is it? If the newer is not completely sufficient to replace the old, why was it auto-installed on my machine?

I don't want gigs of redundant programs on my workstation. I don't want a new version if it cannot completely take over for the old. I don't want the old unless I have reason, and if I must keep the old I would not have added the new just for one or two features. I have received no information that suggests I can get rid of the older version now, or when I will be able to, or even if removing the old will break the new. What happens next, a 3rd version?

Fix this confusion, and prevent it by proper explanation re whether one should upgrade. If there is reason to have two, spell it out. NO I DO NOT WANT the old version "just in case" I don't manage my PC like that. . The best practice is ONE version to rule them all!

The ability to modify and save the current workspace would be very useful. At the moment the current workspace can be modified but not saved under the same workspace name, it has to be saved under a new name and then the old name deleted.

E.g. I have a "Photography" workspace. If I want to change it I cannot resave it as "Photography", I save it as "Photography1" and then delete "Photography". Then, I cannot rename "Photography1" as "Photography".

Once the old "Photography" has been deleted I can then load "Phorography1", save it as "Photography" and then delete "Photography1".

Eventually, I get there but what a hassle.

Currently under Batch Rename there's an option to "Preserve current filename in XMP metadata" but there's no way to get rid of these preserved filenames after they are no longer useful (or simply because they disclose outdated or confidential information).

One way to do this would be to add a "remove preserved filename" checkbox to the Batch Rename dialog box; that way you could just rename the the files a second time to clear the preserved filename.

Another way to do it would be in the metadata panel; just make the "Preserved Filename" field deletable. You could also add a command to "Remove preserved filenames" to the Metadata panel menu and Tools menu.

1) Where's my true black background? For as long as I've worked with Adobe products I've kept my workspace backgrounds as close to black as possible. Bridge 2018 accommodated me. Bridge 2019 does not: nearest I can get to black is an insipid and annoyingly bright neutral gray. Please restore my option to work against true black.

2) Please make star ratings optional. I do not use star ratings and when stars were much smaller I could ignore them. Now they take up a good chunk of real estate beneath my image, making information I do choose to show hard or impossible to read without blowing up preview size to counterproductive levels. Just give me a toggle to make the stars disappear altogether, please.
