Bridge

Until yesterday I never had an issue copying or moving files and folders from one location to another in Bridge on a Windows 10 PC.  Starting yesterday, and continuing today, I try to copy or move files and the small screen displays the box "Moving (or copying) Files estimated remaining time" and remains blank. Nothing moves.  Nothing changes.  I've cleared the cache, increased the cache, rebooted the computer, and every now and then it works, but mostly doesn't.  I do not have this problem on my Macbook.  I do not recall any updates in the past couple of days.  This is a critical blow to workflow and I deal with 1000's of images . . .

I'd like to start by saying that I love Adobe Bridge. But unfortunately, like Apple, every “upgrade” seems to come with numerous headaches. I still can’t believe Adobe would get rid of the ability to open multiple windows in BR 2023. And with the new BR 2024, users can no longer adjust the interface uniformly (it’s just black, dark, and white). Also in BR 2024, when multiple windows are open, and I click on one, all the BR windows come to the front. In BR 2021, I can have numerous windows open, and when I click on one, just that one window comes up as active. So an older version of Bridge has more functionality than the two newest versions. This is why I fear updates.

Cet outil pour redresser les verticales ou horizontales a disparu de la liste des outils de modification il n'y a plus que l'outil "optique" est ce normal??Cordialement

I only need to input a description to work with Indesign captions, keywords (tags), and perhaps a headline. I started under IPTC (IIM, Legacy), and it seems to work, but there are so many options. What are the differences? I found an article in Adobe but it did not include the Attributes section. When I select "Attributes" to show under preferences it does not. I did not take any of these photos. I am organizing them for a client and uploading them into Forever.  

I've been a loyal Adobe user for decades and love most of their products. I am writing this to ask a simple question. Why can't a simple fix be written so that we can change the default setting for viewing and sorting in Bridge? Years ago it was possible to set our preference and everytime It opened or reopened it remained set to our custom preference. I understand you can "manually" sort or set a "temporary" sorting preference to your liking, BUT... I have thousands of files and folders that would be too time consuming to go manual at this point, and the temporary fix doesn't even stay applied every time the window is minimized. Tech support doesn't have an answer (other than "going manual"). I'm a freelance designer and my breadth of work is just not photo image work, but depending on a particular project the sorting formula can change. At the very least I'd like to keep my preference set as long as I am working and the computer's on. Since it changed to the current default

I've just installed this new released version on MacOS and an old bug appered back again!When I save a new .psd file from a CR2 one, the photoshop file does not appear in the content of the panel. This was a pretty annoying bug of some previous versions that was fixed after a while and now here it is again! I use Bridge to share photos with my clients, but with this problem I have to spend much more time as I cannot use my saved export rules on iCloud. I wonder how the development teams performs "no regression tests"...Thanks a lot

Hello!First of all, I am fairly familiar with Bridge BUT I do not use collections very often. I have a project with a client now, where I have to do a lot of culling and potentially identifying duplicates. I have around 4000 files in total (not all of them are images). The reason I have been asked is the client is taking over a business and their image assets are a mess. Lots of different folders, most of them empty, lots of them hosting images that aren't usable dating decades ago etc...I waded through most of the different folders and assigned all the files I could find in different collections. My aim there was to not disrupt the somewhat crazy hierarchical system and only work on usable images. Now I have around 4200 images in those folders and only have say 3000 in the collections. so there's 1200 missing, and I'm more or less certain that I put all of them in one of the collections.   So basically, I would like to know if there is a way to locate all the files that aren't in

Hello, I would like to draw attention to the slow loading of the preview when quickly shuffling through the thumbnails. This is happening in the new version of Adobe Bridge 14.0.1It's really annoying to have to wait for the preview to load. My thumbnails are always cached. In version 14 this was fine. I have tested it. Thank you.

Hi! I had batch renamed a handful of images with text and sequence number, but it appears that the file type has changed to the sequence number ? The file types have become 01, 02, 03, etc. I have no idea what has happened but they are for an upcoming assignment so I would appreciate any insight at all 😞 

I wanted to finish the mapping in sp and send it directly to unity via the bridge plugin instead of manually exporting it to a folder and then manually importing it into unity. At present, I have not found a good solution, I want to develop this bridge plug-in by myself, but I do not know where to start, please help me thank you

Drag and dropping a folder to Br (v2024) dock icon in macOS 14 no longer opens that folder. This is super inconvinient. It used to work in Br v2023.

Anybody have any advice about how to deal with corrupted thumbnails in Adobe Bridge? The images open fine, but the thumbnail display is a mess.AND, though the images look fine, a couple of times when I moved them from PS to imagR to RD Works to laser cut, the laser starting cutting the messed up thumbnail version, even though on the screen the image looked fine.

This program has become more complicated and less useable. There are 2 big problems with it that will prevent me from adopting the new verion. Previous versions, i was able to add a shortcut in the system app preferences that would allow placing files in indesign with a shortcut function key of my choice. This no longer works in AB2024. Place in InDesign is not available in the new shortcuts window in this version. The folders that contain recent indesign, photoshop and illustrator files can no longer be added to the favorites panel. I am staying with AB2022 until these problems are addressed. Below are screenshots of the system application shortcuts menu and bridge 2022 shoing recent file folders. Gary, if you're reading this, humble me and tell me i am wrong. Ken?  

Bridge beta 14.0.0.57 - Info in Metadata panel truncated with space wasted. There are no scrollbars or tooltips or any way to show this info. 

 Hello! I get the below error message when i start Adobe Bridge. And the program crashes.Does anyone get this message, and has resolved the issue. Please help. 

Hi, I did some reproductions of 35mm slides in CR2 format. Some of the slides were flipped so I used Camera Raw to flip them back. In the Bridge Film Strip and Preview they are fine, but when I view them in Slide Show, they are in the old orientation. Very strange: I look at one file in Bridge, and when I hit Ctrl+L for Slide Show, it is the other way around..... I cleared all the cache I could get my fingers on, but it still displays the wrong way around in Slide Show.Any ideas?

Since the latest macOS Sonoma update, my Adobe Bridge Application crashes upon startup, giving me this error: I have uninstalled, deleting all preferences and cache multiple times, but nothing works to clear this error.

HiI have been receiving the following error today when I open Bridge in a folder containing various RAW photos. When I press ok Bridge closes. When I reopen Bridge in the same folder it behaves normally without any further issues.This error is intermittent and may recure when I switch to another folder, or it may work normally. This error message started appearing today and I don't recall having seen it before when accessing similar RAW files. My PC is standalone Windows 10 and the files I am accessing are all on internal drives - I don't have a NAS or any network drives. My current version of Bridge is 14.0.1.137 I have searched this forum but the only similar occurence was for someone accessing files on a server.thanks in advance. 

I spent the last three days "keywording" videos that are stored on an external HD.  This morning I realize that when I click through to the folder the videos are in and click on the video thumbnail, all the keywords I have associated (or tagged) with that video aren't "checked off" anymore.  It is like the vidoe lost its associated keywords and all my work of the last three days (probably 300 videos) has been lost.   Before anyone blames the hard drive, it works perfectly in all other actions and assigments.  My Mac doesn't have problem seeing it, reading it, or working with it.  Adobe Bridge also (obviously) finds it and "sees" the folder structure as well as the videos.   This is scary obviously, because that is literally the only reason I considered using Bridge to tag my 5 TB footage with keywords to find and use those videos. Please help

Dear everyone, we are facing some issues with the uploading process of images and the transmission of their metadaten. I can put the metadaten in Adobe Bridge, but when the pictures are download in the plateform they are just disappearing. Have you already faced this problem and do you have an idea to fix it? In Adobe Bridge the Metadaten of the image: In my computer in the properties of the same image: The properties of the same image after the upload on the plateform:I hope I was clear enoughBest wishes,Marie

Last year when Bridge 13 was launched the excitement of a new release soon disappeared after it was clear that the new version was not quite what people were expecting from Adobe. After trying to use Bridge 13 for a few weeks I had to revert to version 12. There were just too many bugs to navigate thru. When I was that Bridge 14 was launched, I hoped that some of the issues that the users reported were fixed, but the truth is that I can’t see much improvement.The UI is still bad:There is an inconsistency between Bridge and the rest of the Adobe apps.Why is the title bar white when all the rest of the interface is dark?When I create a new folder, the focus is not on that folder, so I must type the name “blind”, then when pressing Enter I get navigated to the beginning not to the newly created folder.The navigation on the panels like Metadata and Output Settings is harder because to collapse a tree you need to press the small arrow (most programs you can collapse the tree also by pr

Last week I posted a thread regarding huge resource spikes when using Adobe Bridge 2023 on macOS:https://community.adobe.com/t5/bridge-discussions/averaging-700-800-cpu-usage-on-adobe-bridge-2023/m-p/13403193 A few minutes ago I was greeted with this message regarding my system running out of application memory and my hard drive running out of space (attached). In this case it looks like Adobe Bridge was using 123.22GB of memory.  Again, any insights as to why this is happening and what I could do to prevent it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am using two Mac computers. I'd like to bring all my metadata templates to the new laptop from the desktop computer to use in Bridge when I'm on the road. I just installed Bridge CC 2018 on the laptop and I don't want to re-create all my templates. I'd appreciate any help.

Wenn ich in Photoshop Beta auf "in Bridge suchen" gehe, wird die normale Bridge geöffnet. Kann ich bei Photoshop Beta einstellen, dass auch Bridge Beta geöffnet wird, wenn ich "in Bridge suchen" anklicke?
