Lagging when manually rearranging photos
In Adobe Bridge 2022, selecting multiple photos and rearranging them manually was fairly easy. I deal with large batches of files (wedding galleries that total in several hundreds), which are sent to me by third parties. The order of the gallery is important, and sometimes they would get jumbled up because of all the various ways they'd be shifted around (online servers, email, dropbox, thumbdrives, etc). So one of my job functions would just be to manually go through and sort them the best I could, reestablishing the chronology of the event. Sorting them by the automatic filters (date modified or whatever) wasn't up to the task, so manual sort was it.
Then, due to the awful nature of subscription services, the work computer apparently had auto-update on, and I show up and now I have an update which is more primitive and evidence of gross incompetence on part of the company that's supposed to be good at image-based software. Clicking multiple photos and dragging them around within the roll, a basic feature of something like Bridge, is laggy to the point of being unviable. Selecting say images 560-580, which should be at the beginning, and dragging them takes literally a minute or more. That's untenable.
I know it's super important to show your customers who's boss, displaying dominance by releasing a buggy and unfinished update, but honestly, we should be have a more amiable relationship. Whoever is making these decisions need to lay off the stimulants which make them aggro, because putting out a new "update" where basic UI functions crap the bed just makes me question whether anyone at your company is serious about software development and isn't just having a laugh.
Fix the stupid program, or let me go back to Adobe 2022. Find me a solution.
AND WHATEVER YOU DO, do NOT say you "APPRECIATE AND UNDERSTAND MY CONCERNS" or whatever customer service script you follow. That is condescending, antagonistic, and annoying to anyone with the brain power beyond a golden retriever. Just tell me whether or not you're fixing it, preferably with a time table. If you don't know, just tell me so I can figure out a work around or perhaps reconsider my subscription. I have work to do, I do not care if you're trying, I just want results.
