Equivalent to Adobe Bridge

[wyldes]

I’m looking for an equivalent to Adobe Bridge mostly for reviewing photos, opening to preview or to edit in Affinity Photo, moving to other folders etc. I’ve come across XnView and XnViewMP https://www.xnview.com/en/ which seems to get mostly good reviews. Has anyone had experience of this application? Pros/Cons? Any other suggestions?

What is wrong with Abobe Bridge? I thought it was free?

When I look for alternatives, a simple web search turns up this site, https://alternativeto.net/software/adobe-bridge/?platform=mac.

Thanks, ferrar. That looks a really useful link! I shall save it for the future. As far as I knew, nothing these days from Adobe is free - if it ever was - except for a trial period, or when you say you want to close your account with them. Then they'll offer you 3 months free usage. HOWEVER, you have just shown me something I never knew! I've also found this site which explains it all https://prodesigntools.com/free-adobe-bridge-cc.html A well kept secret. If Adobe starts to charge an exorbitant monthly sub for Bridge in the future I'll go to 'alternativeto.net' site and/or come back to the forum with the same question. Or perhaps Serif will have added its own equivalent to the Affinity Suite by then. Thankyou again, ferrar! You learn something new every day ...

Oh ohhh... wait a minute... just read these two reviews on the alternativeto.net site https://alternativeto.net/software/adobe-bridge/reviews/ I thought it might be too good to be true. Well, maybe I'll see how it goes anyway. Or maybe not
