Using a Canon EOS 1DX Mk III camera, with Adobe Bridge v10.0.4.157, I am unable to download my images from a Sandisk 64gb CFExpress card via a Sandisk CFExpress card reader to an iMac Pro (macos Catalina) using my usual workflow of Bridge > Bridge Photo Downloader > Get Photos From Camera. The Downloader responds with 'No Device Found'.

I have confirmed the following:

The Adobe Bridge Photo Downloader does not recognise the CFExpress card in the Sandisk CFExpress card reader regardless of whether the card contains .CR3 or .CR2 files. Also, both .CR3 files and .CR2 files on a CFast card placed in a Lexar CFast card reader are downloaded by Bridge Photo Downloader. So the problem does not relate to the file type
.
The Sandisk CFExpress card reader hardware, with the CFExpress card inserted, is recognised by my computer (Applications >Utilities >System Information > Hardware >USB) as 'Sandisk SDDR-F451' which is also shown on the reverse side of the card reader. So the computer sees the CFExpress card reader.

The CFExpress card appears in the Finder as a mounted disk (EOS_Digital). So the computer sees the CFExpress card.

With the the CFExpress card mounted in the Finder as an EOSDigital disk the images on the card are available (EOSDigital >DCIM >100EOS1D > _W1I0451.CR3 etc) and may be directly transferred by drag and drop onto the computer desktop or into an appropriate folder.

If the camera, containing the Sandisk CFExpress card is attached directly to the computer via a USB3.1 cable, the images on the card can be transferred using Adobe Bridge Photo Downloader into a pre- selected folder.  So Adobe Bridge recognises the image files on the CFExpress card in the camera but not in the CFExpress Sandisk card reader.

In System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy both Bridge and Photoshop have Full Disk Access. With respect to the .CR3 images on the CFExpress card, File > Get Info > Sharing & Permissions shows that “You can read and write” but with  the mounted EOSDigital disk in the Finder the permission is “You have custom access”.  I have been unable to obtain a satisfactory definition of what this statement means.  I have considered changing the access  permission for EOSDigital to “Read and write”  but I am unsure of the precise information to input into the Computer Terminal. 

In Finder > Applications > Disk Utility, the SANDISK SDDR-F451 Media card reader is formatted with MAC OS Extended (Journaled) whereas the EOS_DGITAL card within the card reader is formatted with ExFat.  Accordingly, I reformatted the card in Disk Utility to MAC OS Extended (Journaled).  As anticipated the card did not function in this format.  I reformatted it back to ExFat and the card again functions appropriately; but it still shows 'No Device Found' in Adobe Photo Downloader.

I have contacted Sandisk. Sandisk said:

”Thank you for the patience while checking this matter with our engineering team. Following the escalation of your case,  I would like to reconfirm as I have informed before, that this is an issue with the software and not with the reader, as the reader is working, however not working in the software.In this case, please be so kind to contact Adobe for further assistance.  Thank you for your cooperation and for your understanding, also for allowing us to be of service to you!”

I have asked the Bridge Support Community for help but the issue remains unresolved

As a result of this fault with the Adobe Bridge Photo Downloader, I am forced with each download manually to generate a new dated folder for the images. This is not satisfactory.  

Why can't I use my card reader to download my images via Bridge Photo Downloader?

How can I revert to the previous interface in Camera RAW?
The new one stacks all the edit items one above the other, and the panels don't close when a new one is selected. In no time you have a disorganised mess down the the RHS. You have to keep using the slider to get where you want to get to which is slower and inconvenient. Everything gets all cramped up and you have to close the panels yourself, rather than simply switching.

Previously you just clicked with the pen on a facitity (basic, detail colour etc). The panel opened, you used it, and then clicked on the next, one shut, the next one opened. You can't use more than one panel at a time anyway.
This is clumsy, slow and badly thought out.
Can we have a revert option in preferences please?

First off, thank you Adobe for not giving up on Bridge - Bridge is the only viable program for Adobe cross program users (PS, ID, AI, AA, are the main programs I use and I need to see thumbnails for all work cross programs) - so thank you for keeping Bridge fresh and thank you for allowing these requests from your users, especially long-time professional users working with LARGE (18GB+) PSB files. PERFORMANCE is crucial as camera files get bigger and larger mp sensors (100mp+)

Here are some suggestions I would like to see implemented into bridge:

1). Making duplicate or Instances from ACR would be great - I often make duplicates of a raw file in bridge and then make different adjustments for each (such as, color or b&w, or more complex changes in ACR, while still keeping each duplicate's full raw editing in tact as opposed to making a Tiff instance...)

2). ALSO CRUCIAL - Been asking for every single Bridge update since this feature was abandoned: PLEASE PLEASE - PUT BACK THE WEB GALLERY under the output tab - it is a much preferred method for review than a PDF proof sheet. PLEASE RETURN the WEB GALLERY (it is in lightroom - Adobe, you have the means - I only keep lightroom loaded so I can use its web gallery - how cumbersome) - PLEASE BRING BACK what once was a great and used feature in BRIDGE.

3). How about more color options for labeling files - inc. ability to custom make colors for different considerations - and being able to make multiple color labels applicable (Like apple does in its file labeling in finder (I have complex coding system for my work for product outputs - this would be nice - but not as crucial as the WEB GALLERY) - and I would like use red to mean delete or reject if I had more colors available - 5 pre-named colors is limited to how many creative people work within their own custom workflows.

4). Going back to C1-Pro - its output module contains multiple conversions, including adding more output options - and it is very fast in processing multiple outputs per large groups of selected raw files - all customizable (a bit like the old Dr. Brown plugin where a singe raw image could be out put into multiple formats, color spaces, bits, ppi, dimensions --- etc.) what a time saver that would be given all the different SM platforms, and website criteria - to program in the outputs for the different destinations and use of the one single image for immediate deployment to respective platforms. (as a side note: I think DR Brown plugin offered three different simultaneous outputs - but I don't remember given that plugin isn't available anymore for the most recent Bridge updates - on another note - C1-Pro allows adding custom outputs beyond 3... I have not seen a limit yet when I use C1-Pro to how many outputs it will create for a file or group of files - all can be selected or deselected - a very handy feature).

Thank you for implementing these for the next release (I am being positive here).

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.
