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.

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?

There are three things I’ve always wanted to do but never taken time to ask as a proper Feature Request :

I’d love Bridge to be able to invert a filtered view:
Say I picked all my red labels, with 4 stars and more, mainly squared pictures.
Now I want ALL the OTHER pictures.
It means picking NO label + green and blue + ALL other formats.
I’d love to do that in 1 click, even if that click is under a menu :)
I’m thinking of the hamburger menu of the filter panel,
The filter icon on top right of the main content view,
I’m also thinking of the contextual menu like right click in an empty space of the filter panel or the content panel.

Other thing I want is, in the filter panel, an “exclude” state to the checkboxes.
Right now, checkboxes work as OR, I would love them to have a NOT way of working.

I want pictures with women but not one woman only.
Or a truck AND a person but NOT an animal.

I know I could alt click to select all other results but as you know Boolean logic, this is not the same thing :)

Last thing in that direction would be OR and AND filtering in one category, mainly keywords (you cannot be landscape AND portrait, but you can have a person AND a car).

Let me know if that sound correct and/or if you’d see that in Bridge.

I added a file with :
1. full folder
2. my selection (red labels and 45)
3. what I get by alt-clicking every checkboxe
4. what I'd want as a "invert selection"

It's easy and obvious on a 12 photos set, you can imagine the time consumed on a bigger set.

When Typing a keyword (for example, “Sky”) into the search box at the bottom of the keyword panel (using "contains" as a search parameter), there are probably more than 1 keywords that contain that text string, but the entire list still displays; so if you have a long list, often times the highlighted items are far away from each other in the list and they won’t show up in the panel together. Example: I have several pre-defined keywords in the list... all containing the string “Sky". But I am searching for just "Sky" so I can apply it to a single photo so I type in the letters s, k, y, and the highlighted keyword then jumps to "skydiving". This is great when I want to quickly apply "Skydiving", but useless when I want to apply only the keyword "Sky".
A much better way to handle this is to dynamically filter the list to only the keywords that contain the string, so they are all there grouped right in front of you. In this way, typing "sky" would immediately filter the list to only the items that contain that string, something like:

Top of Panel
☐ Skydiving
☐ Skylight
☐ Skyline
☐ Sky
Bottom of Panel

It would be so much faster to quickly select the keyword you want if the search behaved like this. As soon as you apply the keyword, the search box should clear and the entire keyword list can now display in its entirety.

Extensis Portfolio works like this and it is a great timesaver. We are trying to use Bridge in our photo ingestion workflow but this is a “pain point”.

Hello,

This might already exists since it seems like such an obvious feature (also appears in other Adobe products e.g Lightroom) but it is the ability to filter files by multiple keywords with the results only showing result that contain all the keywords selected not just if they contain any of the selected keywords.

For example I have photos of different athletic events eg track; high jump; triple jump; discus etc. these also have the keywords for the country they represent such as USA; GBR; BRA; RUS.

What happens right now when I select the keywords "High jump" and "GBR" I get all High jump photos not just the ones that also contain GBR. So is it possible to add the feature to change the filter result to contain all the selected keywords rather than any of the keywords?

I am aware you can use the search function to search "If all criteria match" however you can't use the filter pane to select the keywords you need to retype them into the search box.

My thought was a keyword search pane which displays all the keywords the same way as the keyword pane (hierarchical) but this time to perform a multi keyword search. So in the future I can tick the keywords "High jump" and "GBR" and only get High Jump photos with British athletes. Perhaps using the keyword pane but having an option at the top if you want to apply the keywords below or search.

Please add Dark Mode / Leave Color Labels as previous versions (or give user the option)

Can you please leave Color Labels as before? Although it is now consistent with the latest version of MAC OS (Color dots), I really miss the way you could easily see files labeled with the color bar. It is just much easier to spot what you are looking for. Also, Dark Mode would be nice and consistent with some of your other apps like Illustrator and Photoshop 2019. I really don't understand the lack of consistency here... It would be nice to be able to darken the color of the background to black, like before... Some of these features were very nice and gives the user choices... Bridge 2019 also comes with a bug when transferring files to other folders... hopefully this is fixed asap.
