  1. Bridge is always generating thumbnails and previews! WHY!?!?!?!?! IT IS REALLY F*KN' ANNOYING!!!

    Bridge is always generating thumbnails and previews! WHY!?!?!?!?! IT IS REALLY F*KN' ANNOYING!!!
    It is getting worse and worse. since I can't remember which version. Now it is Bridge 2024 (14.0.0.102)
    I just switched to a folder then back to the "original" one... And Bridge AGAIN generates every thumbnail and preview! WHY?!?!?! I did nothing with the files, nothing changed!!!

    Some more versions ago there was an option in the settings to save thumbnails and previews in the same folder where my files are. Why it is gone? It was a very useful feature! Please BRING IT BACK!

    AND
    Please…

  3. Content Panel Layout and performance

    There is a great performance drop when switching between Content Panel Layouts, if Vertical is selected, its really really slow to scroll or navigate through the files. If the layout its switched to horizontal, then the performance is back to normal (really snappy). This is also dependent of number of files. if they are around 100, no issue , bot layouts work fine. currently Im in a folder with around 20k photos. This bug was not present in version 12.x

  6. accent characters

    Bridge display breaks if a directory contains files with special characters in their filenames, including accent marks (common in non-English names!). Bridge will claim that directory has "no items to display." Not only does it not display the images with non-basic characters, it won't display ANY of the images in that directory.

    Please fix this bug so that Bridge will not get hung up on special characters in filenames!

    (Unfortunately because this is a shared directory linked to a content management system I can't just edit the filenames in the finder to fix this. It is also not possible to…

  7. Restore Performance Levels to v12

    Sorry for the commentary - why is v13 (2023) such a step back from v12?
    Please replace v13 with v12 until v13 at least meets the performance and capabilities of v12.

  8. Restore the multiple windows options

    In this updated V13 of Adobe Bridge, we are not able to have multiple windows. This is really needed when working on multiple projects. It is very difficult without that.

  9. GPU accelerated preview generation

    Preview generation of large RAW images is very CPU demanding task, I believe that using GPU to accelerate this process could provide significant performance gains and improve user experience. Lightroom recently got GPU accelerated export option which would indicate that this is technically feasible.

  11. I would like Adobe to Add the Ability to FLIP the Thumbnail (Image) in Bridge (X Axis).

    With the ability to flip on the X Axis, one can view their image in Any Orientation. I have been using Photoshop since version 2.2. I teach Digital Photography and Photoshop at a community college in Maryland. When I am going through my images in the Bridge, I NEED the ability to Flip an image, so I Don't have to open it in Photoshop or Lightroom because I use the slideshow to view the Final Images. I always tell my student that "when Adobe upgrades their programs, it's Always an Amazing Upgrade". For instance, when the stamp tool showed what…

  12. Fix the lock-up when switching to Bridge from other apps

    For as long as I have been using Bridge -- at least 10 years -- I have had the annoying problem where Bridge locks up temporarily when I switch to it by clicking on the Bridge Window while using another app. Bridge comes to the front, but you can't do anything. Bridge returns to normal if I switch to any other app, then back to Bridge.

    This behavior has occurred in every version of Bridge back to at least CS5, across every Mac OS going back a decade or more, on at least 7 different iMacs, Mac Pros, Macbooks and…

  13. 「Camera Raw で開く」が以前より遅くなっている

    「Camera Raw で開く」を選択してから、Camera Raw が起動するまでの待ち時間が長くなっています。
    数値は出せませんが、使い始めた2016年頃は1秒もあれば表示されていたと思いますが、現在は約3秒かかります。
    RAWであろうがJPEGであろうが、画面が表示されるまでの時間は遅くなっています。

  14. Bridge won't show updated previews of edited raw files

    I have multiple computers (classroom) that I am running Bridge and Photoshop Camera Raw. My teacher computer was updated at the same time. Initially things were working as expected and a day later the previews wouldn't render as edited after editing in Camera Raw. This was the case with all of the computers, even with photos that were just downloaded. My teacher computer is functioning properly, however, and shows the edit. I've compared preference settings, but they appear the same. I have 'Always High Quality' checked on all the computers. When I tested a computer I know I did a…

  15. Make this flickering and weird flashing of images during fullscreen previews stop GOD DAMNIT.

    The flickering during fullscreen preview mode is unbearable! As soon as I start to rate or reject a single image, sometimes after looking through a few images, the screen starts flickering. As far as I'm concerned Adobe is well aware of this issue but doesn't fix it. Affected are Apple desktop machines and MacBooks not only the latest generation.

  16. Preview generation at lower priority

    When generating previews in folder with more photos, it takes almost 100% of CPU and other work is very slow. Would it be possible to assign to processes of "normal work" higher and to preview generation lower CPU priority?

  18. make it work

    Currently waiting 30 seconds at least for a star rating to appear. Overall performance is at barely usable speed. I'm watching lag I've not seen since the 90s. This is supposed to be a quick, basic image browser, yet it's now so slow I can barely bring myself to boot it up.

  19. Use same RAW processing engine as Photo Mechanic?

    Why is Bridge so sluggish when previewing RAW and JPG files? Launch the exact folder in Photo Mechanic and I can instantly start seeing images. I use Bridge for organizing, keywords, etc. b/c it works seamlessly with other Adobe apps, but it's super frustrating how slow it is to load.

    Note: I have 'Browse Quickly' icon selected and 'Prefer Embedded' and have a large cache settings. PM out of the box is 100x faster still.

  20. Please KEEP Debayers

    I open an image full-screen and zoom in to 100% mode. I wait literally 2 minutes [we'll chalk that part up to my computer being quite old] for it to de-pixelate even though I have "Generate Full Screen Previews" turned on and I've waited for Bridge to stop saying "Generating Previews."

    I go to the next image and wait through the process again. Then I decide I want to compare the two, so I go back to the first image ... and have to start the whole process over.

    Why, you know, IN THE WORLD? Why weren't the full…
