  1. Filter exactly 1 star rating

    In Bridge it is only possible to filter "1 star ore more", while LR can filter exact star ratings. Please add a filter function to filter exact 1 star / 2 stars / ...and so on

  2. List hidden files in the Filter panel

    It's very confusing when you reject files, then hide rejects. When you then use the filter panel to filter files by type, Bridge informs you no files exist by excluding from the lists, or showing incorrect number.

    There are several ways Bridge can help but probably the best is to show how many are hidden, if any (see attached mockup). There are probably better ways to show it but I would connect rejected files with the number enclosed in red brackets.

    The Ratings category is also affected when you hide rejects. It disappears! There are rejected files, so Bridge should…

  3. Support a native subtractive keyword filter mechanism

    I'm fully aware that there's a method for subtractive keyword filtering by initially choosing a keyword and then using the search bar with the minus (-) sign. Yet, this approach is tedious, and it's all too easy to mistype the keywords. For a software as advanced as Bridge, intuitive and efficient tools for sifting through thousands of photos should be a given.

    ✭ Is anyone else in search of a better subtractive keyword feature?

  4. Filter by Exposure Mode

    I would really like to be able to somehow separate my automatic exposure shots from my manual exposure shots. Doing this 1 by 1 is tedious and prone to error. It would be a bonus to get to search/filter by metering mode and exposure compensation. If this cannot be added to the Filter Panel, it would be useful to have this as a sortable category in the Metadata file listing information.

    [P.S. You can sort of do this in RAW with _MG for manual and IMG for auto, but that's not helpful for photos that have been renamed or are…

  5. Visual indicator about what filters are selected

    There is nothing displayed within the filter options to show what filters are currently selected.
    eg. in Lightroom when "2 stars or above" is selected, this is displayed on screen within the filter bar to show you this.
    Can we have something similar in Bridge please to show how the current photographs are being filtered.

  6. identify sharpest shot

    I am doing a lot of 45 MP bird shots with 400-800 mm lenses. Even with a fast Mac it takes forever to identify the pictures that are the sharpest. I would appreciate a function where Bridge went through a set of shots and marked the the sharpest. It might take time, but could run in the background or during creation of previews.

  7. Use keyword panel as a filter with AND operator.

    Preferably importable and exportable like the panel.

    Operators like AND, OR, NOT etc. could be selectable for each keyword using multi-click signs as in the panel, with AND as default (anyway).

  8. Combine Keyword panel functionality with Filter by keywords

    I have a giant folder with thousands of files and thousands of keywords. If I want to find everything tagged with a keyword, I have two options: I can use the Find function, or I can filter by keyword.

    The problem with the Find function is that it's slow. It can take a couple minutes to show everything tagged with that keyword, and then when I'm done and want to show everything from the original folder again, I have to wait for the original folder to reload.

    The Filter by Keyword function is much faster. All I have to do…

  9. Exclude Filter / invert filter

    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…

  10. Hide by keyword/A "Does not Contain" option

    Could there be a way to hide files by keyword instead of just show files that contain a keyword? For example, I have a folder with lots of different animal photos. If I want to see all of the files that don't contain the keyword "Dog" could I please select something like "NOT Dog" instead of trying to select all tags other than "Dog," which due to keyword overlap may not be effective?

    entries in exposure time filter are "sorted" alphabeticaly but shorter to longer time would be more logical, helpful

  12. Make Filter Panel Great Again (visually different than Keywords Panel)

    Bridge 8.XX had a filter panel that was visually different than the keywords panel. As you can see in my workplace below, there is no way to quickly tell when I'm FILTERING or KEYWORDING images.

    In older versions of Bridge, the Filters panel didn't have a box next to the items, but rather a checkmark that would become visible after clicking to the left of the item. By contrast, the Keywords panel has an EMPTY BOX next to the keyword.

    This was convenient as it was easy to tell if I was FILTERING or KEYWORDING images because the two panels…

  14. Sort by 'lock-protected' image

    Hi,

    As a photojournalist we use the protected, lock or tag feature on our cameras everyday. It's part of our workflow. We 'tag' the images, then we go to our software and see those already 'edited' pictures. Makes our workflow much faster.

    The feature I'm requesting is: being able to sort images by 'lock' or 'tag'.
    Adobe premier can identify this tag that comes from the camera, but it can not sort based on it.

    I tried to find it and look online but it seems that Adobe Bridge does not have this basic but super important feature.

    This simple…

  15. Arbitrary Exif Tag To Filter (e.g. SceneCaptureType)

    The filter panel allows to show files that match some attributes. Some exif tags like exposure time are already included, others can only be shown in the Metadata Panel. I would wish to be be able to filter by the tag 'SceneCaptureType' or even every possible tag.

  16. Allow AND link for keywords in the filter panel

    I want to use keywords to find specific images fast and regularly, so using the find dialog and filling out all dropdowns is too slow. I also have a lot of keywords and often want to search for different combinations, so using a smart collection does not help. I want to narrow down my selection of images and therefore need an option to use logical AND when selecting multiple keywords.

    I personally never need the default OR link and don't care about where this option will be presented. Possible are the panel menu at the top right of the panel,…

  18. Filter Dates as per MS Excel Autofilter

    When filtering any date field, the dates from every photo are included, which can make an extremely long list. Searching for one particular date is time consuming.

    A much better way to present dates is as per Microsoft's Excel AutoFilter feature, whereby initially only years are listed, which can then be individually expanded into months, which in turn can then individual expanded into days.

    Please see the image attached.

  19. XD-File-Selection for smart collections

    I'm working with a lot of XD-Files and I need a quick overview.
    For this function I would use the smart collection but it isn't possible to select file-type XD in this combo-Box.

    Is it possible to add XD-File to this combo-box-entries or do you have another solution for this? -> For better explantion take a look to attached file
