Does Affinity Photo Have (or Plan) Anything Like Adobe Bridge?

[rpkphoto]

I would like to switch over to Affinity Photo entirely, but I very much like Bridge in Photoshop 6; it allows me to use Bridge as a light table-like work space. I'm planning to get a new camera, one that Photoshop 6 doesn't support, so I'm going to have to go entirely Affinity Photo soon anyway if I don't want to be an Adobe indentured servant.

If you like Bridge, you can keep using it alongside Affinity Photo. Bridge is a free download, although it still requires the CC app to install.

+1 yes please make a replacement for bridge.  we don't want to install CC.

or bridge / lightroom.

And that's the problem.

Recently I thought I'd check it out if one of the more recent Bridges has improved over Bridge CS5.1 which I'm still using. All that CC rubish that came with it was so annoying and resource hungry on CPU and network traffic that I have uninstalled it the same day. At least I hope so, since some of the background processes crap remained and I had to remove some of the launch agents and daemons (what an appropriate UNIX terminology in this case!) manually.

My ideal DAM app would be a hybrid of iView/Expression Media (still the best concept of the bunch overall, since I need to manage other file types as well, not just images!), Bridge (some great tools in there), NeoFinder (also some great features) and the file browser of GraphicConverter (Exif data manipulation in any possible manner).

One can dream, right?

[Medical Officer Bones]

Agreed. Even when I uninstalled all Adobe apps and the CC manager and rebooted, Process Explorer still lists two or three Adobe services. The only way to remove these is to do it manually. Autoruns is a handy utility to manage that last step.

Bridge by itself is actually quite good.
