To add a folder to favorites, I know 3 ways (maybe there are more) :

While navigating, right clicking on a folder has an « add to favorites » option.
And you can find that option from within the folder in the file menu.
You can also right click on an empty space while exploring a folder.

I miss a couple of important places, where I naively looked for that :

• The breadcrumbs : I tried to right click, not only on the long line of files, but in the empty space.
• I also wanted to drag and drop one folder from the breadcrumbs to the favorite panel
• Right click in an empty space in the favorite panel to add the current location (if available, not as a search result)

Do you think that would make the feature easier to use ?

I added an image with green : places where I can add to favorites, red, places where I first looked to add the current location to favorites :) (more instinctive, closer to what's happening on macos or windows)

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?

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.
