reduce padding around folders and center the titles like in Bridge 2018
Please remove the enormous padding around the folders and re-center the titles of each folder and image as in Bridge 2018. Simply incomprehensible why all titles are now aligned left which results in things like this:

Caption Sheet Generator
I, and the entire US Military photo community, would benefit from the ability to select 3-50 photos in Bridge and have it generate a PDF with thumbnails and associated captions/descriptions. As well as a header that shows all the required metadata fields that DoD photogs have to fill out. I created a concept PDF. This being an editable PDF would be important, because as quality control individuals receive the caption sheet, they can "red pen" or copy edit to make sure the caption and metadata are accurate.

Improve thumbnail generation speed
I’ve always noticed the slow thumbnail generation speed, but right now I compared it to Blender’s default EXR thumbnail generation speed. Of course, you guys are creating higher-quality thumbnails and storing them on disk for me, but Blender takes seconds compared to minutes—a lot of minutes for 200 EXR files at 50 MB each.

Map module for Bridge PLEASE!
Please add a way to to view an actual map using the GPS data from file in Bridge. Lightroom has a Map view and it is a pain in the neck to keep switching back and forth just to use map option in Lightroom. It's been years! This should have been added long ago! Thank you.

Reset workspace consistency
Bridge should work the same as the other Adobe apps when resetting the workspace. Right now if you have multiple folder windows open Bridge closes them all except the active window when resetting the workspace. This is a real pain if there are multiple windows open, which must be reopened when all the reset should do is put the palettes back where they belong.

Expand/Collapse Folders Inline in Bridge (Like macOS Finder)
I would love to have the ability to expand or collapse folders inline within the Folders panel, similar to how it works in macOS Finder or Windows Explorer. Instead of double-clicking or navigating into a folder, I’d like to click a small arrow next to the folder name and view its contents right in the same view, without leaving the current folder structure.
This would greatly improve navigation speed and workflow, especially when working with large media libraries where I want to preview the contents of multiple subfolders quickly using Bridge’s excellent preview system.
Please consider adding this feature. It would make Bridge even more powerful as a visual file browser.
Thank you!

preferences
Allow users to designate the location where collections are stored. This could have multiple uses. A user who stores photos on a portable hard drive could store the collections on that drive. Bridge on any computer could make the collections automatically available by locating the collections directory on that drive. An alternative would be to designate a cloud location for the collections. This could work for all Bridge preferences. I emphasize collections because they are an extremely important tool for organizing photos.

Default Start Folder - without scripting.
I always want Bridge to start in the same, default folder. There is no setting for this. Scripting is not really a good solution, a preferences setting would be better.
I know about selecting the folder before ending, but do not ALWAYS remember to do that. Why is such a simple, standard thing missing??

Batch Rename enhanced with more Metadata Tokens (very limited now)
Currently, the batch rename in bridge only allows you to pick from a few options
from the Metadata, by adding a all the fields it will allow for a much more powerful process.6 votes -
Star rating with one key!
I am beyond frustrated. I've been using Adobe Bridge for years, and I rely heavily on the simple number keys (1–5) to rate thousands of images during my editing process. Suddenly, after an update, I now have to press Cmd + number instead?
Who thought this was a good idea?
This small change completely disrupts my entire workflow. It's not just an inconvenience – it slows me down massively. I now need to use two hands or awkward key combinations for something that used to be a quick, one-handed tap.
I’ve reset all preferences, cleared caches, searched forums, and even looked for downgrade options – but Adobe doesn’t offer older versions anymore. I pay for this software monthly, and instead of improvements, I get functionality stripped away and no way to roll back.
Why remove such a basic, efficient feature? Why not let users choose their own shortcuts?
Please fix this. Or at the very least, give us an option to revert to the old keybindings. I don’t want to rely on external tools or hacky workarounds just to do what used to work perfectly fine.

Scrolling is too slow everywhere in Bridge 2025
Today I updated Bridge to 2025. I was using 2022 because of the newly introduced features were too annoying.
I am very-very sad to experience this SLOOOOOW scrolling speed in EVERY list. This must be some bad taste or lack of understanding among the devs... I tried these:
- Folders
- Images
- Filters
- Preferences -> File type associations
- Preferences -> MetadataIt seems that in every list one scrolling (a half wheel) scrolls around 2 lines of text which is infuriating. Yet the scrollbars are thin, grabbing with the mouse is another challenge. All these contribute to render these new versions of Bridge counterproductive. Instead of focusing on their work, users are annoyed by these problems which are working well in every other software.
Dear devs, there are some bad default settings in your scrollbar component. This bad setting propagates everywhere, in every list. Just make scrolling 3x faster. by default Please, look at browsers, Windows Explorer, or any other image viewer software and see how should the scrolling work.There is a setting in Windows for the scroll speed, that thing also should be taken into account.

Cancel opening a Secondary window in Bridge
Cancel opening a Secondary window in Bridge
I would like an option to cancel opening a secondary window in Bridge. As it is I can only"OK" the window to open and then close it. (I'm a klutz on the keyboard and often accidentally open a secondary window which sends me down a one-way path.)

Spacebar Preview for Video
Currently, pressing space bar to preview on a video file does not initialize full screen preview.
Expectation: Pressing spacebar on a video file will enter full screen preview mode.
Strangely enough, if you are already in full screen preview on any other file type, and then arrow over to a video file, full screen preview will display with video.
Perhaps this is a bug?
At any rate, being able to quickly preview videos with the spacebar command is a very helpful feature for users who using bridge to organize and review media file types of all kind.
Thank you in advance for your time.

Add support for 3D files
With the support of SBSAR , it should also be useful to support 3D files format like glTF, glb, or USD as well as ASD ...
Either for Thumbnail generation but also for preview if possible.
It should be useful too to extract some metadata like shader, appearance or scene info in metadata panel...1 vote -
RAW & JPEG Sorting
Adobe Bridge should include an automatic RAW & JPEG sorting feature, allowing users to group, separate, or filter files with the same name but different formats. A dedicated toggle should enable users to view RAW+JPEG as a single entry or split them into separate folders automatically. This would streamline workflow for photographers, reducing manual file management and improving efficiency.

Backup of Manual Sorts in Collections
It is absurdly easy to fowl up a Manual Sort order. There should be a warning that attempting to drag one image in the grid view will replace the existing manual sort order. More important there should be a way to backup the existing sort order and a way to restore a prior Manual sort order. This should be fairly straightforward by using and modifying the data in the folder UserSorts.

SAVE CACHE TO FOLDERS
(1) A few months ago, my only cache option was that it was saved on the cloud, rather than in my C drive. I see now that the option to save the cache to a folder in my C drive is available, so that's a bit of progress.
(2) However, there was an option to save cache to folders PLURAL. That is, each folder of photos had the cache saved to that individual folder. The difference / benefit was as follows:
(a) I have over 700 GB of photo files, held in over 800 different folders (that helps me to find photos easily), and the total cache is 99,000 files totalling 70 GB. So if I want to refresh the cache, it can be a very slow process as the whole cache is updated - even when much of the cache is the same because I haven't changed the photos. And I also save the cache to an external hard drive, so a 70 GB save also very long.
(b) The cache for most of the folders doesn't change once I've processed my photos to their final state. So the only cache change that occurs is when I take a new batch of photos. I think the cache holds old info, eg if I edit a file and there's a cache for that photo and its settings, and then I delete the file, the cache doesn't update the cache and the info for deleted files remains. To get rid of that, I have to update the ENTIRE cache for that ONE folder. Let's say that 5 GB. BUT, to save the updated cache for that one folder, I have to save the ENTIRE BRIDGE CACHE of 70 GB.
If I could save the Bridge Cache to INDIVIDUAL folders, then I'd only have to update and re-save the cache for that one folder: 5 GB versus 70 GB.
So I repeat my request to be able to save cache to folders PLURAL - ie individual Explorer folders that hold the related photos.
