  1. 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.

    Regards,

    Bridge Team

  2. Bridge 2019 is painfully slow

    Even after file previews are generated and cached Bridge is now painfully slow. Scrolling is slow, interacting with files is slow, browsing folders is slow. Sometimes the program will lock up for up to a minute. It's bad on both my respectable spec'ed AMD Ryzen work PC (quadcore-16gb ram), and it's slow on my monster spec home PC (intel 9900k-16gb ram).

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    While scrolling the content using bridge 2023 I get around 10-15 frames per second, not the case with bridge CS6 where I get 165+ frames per second.

    Improve the performace the user experience got worse with Bridge 2023.

  6. 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.

  7. 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?

  8. Permit separate operations, in Multiple windows simultaneously

    I would love to be able to do separate operations, in Multiple windows, simultaneously
    !
    Br could then be building its thumbnails from a particular Folder in one window; while I could carry on processing images from a separate Folder in ACR while those thumbnails are being built.

  9. GIF playback

    Gif playback has never worked smooth in previews in adobe bridge.
    I've been using it for 9 years now and hope this will be finally integrated smoothly in the near future. Thank you.

  10. Adobe Bridge Version 14.03.200, Language change automatically, other Columns insert missing.

    When exiting and reopening Adobe Bridge the Language changes automatically from german to english. After the next Computerstart it is back to german.

    In the List view are the standard columns and other standard columns can be addet. But the possibility from former Adobe Bridge Versions to add other new columns or delete those is not showing. It would be a lot of help, if I could add the Columns "Author", "Tags", "Title", "Description", ... Thx for your help!

    My main task is to organize my pdf-file library with Adobe Bridge.

  12. 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.

  13. 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…

  14. 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.

  15. 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…

  16. 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…

  18. 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

  19. 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…
