Bridge

Everytime Bridge updates it changes or in this morning's case deleted, all the file associations. It is really annoying and takes a bunch of frustration and time to resset them. 

I have finally updated to the "new" version of Bridge, after holding onto the old one (version 12 I think) as long as possible until it was no longer available to download. There are a lot of things that are disappointing, but one of the main ones is that you aren't able to type and quickly navigate to a file/folder within the Content window. You type a letter or two, then it takes about a half a second to actually select the appropriate file name. This is very annoying. It should move instantly, the way it used to. I'm on Windows 11, Bridge 16.0.1.18 Steps to reproduce:Open BridgeNavigate to folderType first letter of file Expected result:the intended file is immeditely selected Actual restul:the intended file is selected after a long gap

This issue has been ongoing for a couple of months. Since 2026 is my year to organize myself, I really want to get Bridge rolling! As far as I can tell, it does not sync with iCloud or any other service. I'm attaching screen grabs that may help. Please let me know if more is needed. I did reboot Bridge 3x (16.01.1.18) and my Mac is up to date, I rebooted it 2x. Fingers crossed! Thanks in advance for any help! Kathy

A new try to get an answer. Just like Adobe Lightroom Classic that has an IPTC-field so that you can see where you made your picture (location, country etc.), Adobe Bridge has the same IPTC-field but strangely enough that does NOT show the photo-location... I tried everything...Of course on my iPhone I can exactely see where I made the picture, so the metadata are there.

Camera raw中干擾物移除裡的人物部份無法執行，出現"發生預期之外的錯誤，系統無法完成你的要求"，其餘兩項功能(反射及灰塵)皆可正常執行，Camera raw版本已是最新。

Just installed the app. Collected the images together into a central location for easier indexing - my "Pictures" folder. Began trying to create subfolders and moving images into them. Worked well for a few seconds. Then ::POOF!:: They all disappeared. Every last sub-folder. And I could no longer access "Pictures". "Item does not exist". It most certainly DID exist. Deleted images no in my Trash Can. Nowhere to be found. ALL WITHIN 10 MINUTES. I officially hate Adobe.

Hi all, I'm sharing this here in case anyone else has the issue I just had. Bridge either crashed or I force-quit it while it was in the middle of a metadata operation, and after that it refused to write metadata to some random files. After some investigation, I found that I couldn't write metadata to the associated XMP files with any program. The problem is that Bridge marks the files as read-only while it's working on them, but doesn't unmark them when it's forcibly killed. This flag moves with the file, so copying the file or moving it to another drive doesn't fix the problem. My solution (Windows 10/11):Open the Command PromptRun the command, with <path> replaced with the path to the folder containing your files.attrib -r "<path>" /S /D​-r removes the read-only flag, /S applies this to all subdirectories, and /D applies this to folders as well.  There's likely a similar solution on mac but I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.Hope this

Dans Adobe Bridge (16.0.1.18, sous Mac OS X Tahoe 26.2), l'affichage et la disposition personnalisés des colonnes choisies dans l'affichage par liste n'est pas enregistré dans l'espace de travail.Une fois le logiciel quitté puis relancé, la disposition des colonnes par défaut de cet affichage est rétabli. L'enregistrement des modifications de l'espace de travail de la vue par liste devrait permettre de sauvegarder la personnalisation de l'affichage des colonnes choisie par l'utilisateur.

I'm doing illustrations in Photoshop and using Bridge to sort through them.Every now and then, when going through older illustrations, I have the case where I am like "oh I don't need a .psd file of this sketch anymore, since I never worked further on it". So I usually export a JPEG and delete the PSD. Does anyone know if there is a way to save these actions (make JPEG, delete PSD) and bind a key to them? i really would like this to be simple so I could just press a single key and move on. 

Ola, preciso instalar o adobe bridge porem, na nova versão 16.1 lançada final de dezembro/2025, é obrigatorio o requisito AVX2 no processador. Infelizmente meu equipamento não possui o AVX2 e preciso instalar uma versão anterior, porem no aplicativo CREATIVE CLOUD do PC não consta a opção "OUTRAS VERSÕES", para instalar. Segue PRINT em anexo, se alguem souber uma solução.

Ich benötige eine Bridge-Version, die ohne AVX2 funktioniert.

There is a problem with date creation time. I read that problem is 5 years old (LOL!). I have created today panorama in PtGui and saved it as a TIF file. Bridge shows that this file was created 13.12.2025. I assume, that in listing, it shows when the data was collected, because indeed I was taking picture 13.12, but file was created today! Also, there is no possible to change it (screenshot).  system MacOS Tahoe 26.2, Bridge version 16.0.1.18 

I switched my Panasonic Lumix S1II Camera to the HEIF file system, and when I rate these images in Bridge, the thumbnail disappears and the file is no longer readable in any other program.  Iam running Mac OS 26.2 and Bridge 16.0.1.18.The Lumix Camera is on the newest software update and a model from last year.  

I've used Bridge for years, but it seems that with later cameras, like the Nikon Z9 it does not show thumbnails of nor play videos, unless there is some secret I don't know about.  I've never liked Lightroom, but I found that it does show theses thumbnails, which would make it much easier to add desired metadata without having to use free programs like Nikon Studio to show or play the video.  So I was trying to test how compatible the 2 program in the title.  I see that LR shows my entered metadata, and keywords.  but I also saw that it had dates for the videos, which bridge lacks.  I tried exporting a file with the date and also added a keyword, saving with the same file name and location and checking back to see the file in the same folder in Bridge and nothing new added.  Is there someone familiar with both programs who can explain why this is so.

I reverted to using Bridge 5.0.2.4 x64. I don't think the slowliness is justifiable, for me speed is the requirement number 1 in Bridge

I ONLY NEED TO CHANGE THE DATE ON THE BRIDGE, PRESERVING THE TIME, HOW DO I DO IT?

Well a brand. new Macmini and a Studio Monitor and I can't access Files from an external  SSD, but, can access Files via "Finder" am running Bridge V 16.0.1  and Photoshop V 27.2, MacOS Tahoe 26.1  had all my data and Apps migrated from my old Imac 10 years old to the Macmini.Peter

Get this dialog when I launch Bridge 16.0.1.18 (latest): “Adobe Bridge 2026.app” would like to access data from other apps.When 'allowing' it just comes back on every launch. Not a huge deal, but very annoying. 

I have been scouring the forums to and see that this was a commonly reported issue in the past (didn't see much in the last couple years), but haven't found any solutions. Is there a solution or do I need to find an alternative importer? Any suggestions if I do need something else? I have a Prograde CFExpress/SD card reader, SD cards are identified correctly in the photo downloader, but not the CFexpress card. I understand the issue is tied to the CFexpress card basically being mounted as a harddrive, but it sounds like it has been solved in some versions of Bridge. I see tips on Macs, but that doesn't help me. Saw something about using a AutoPlay settings, but that didn't seem to help either, Bridge didn't show up in options for removeable drives, only memory cards, and didn't seem like the CFexpress card was flagged as a memory card... My setup:Bridge version: 16.0.1.18Card reader: Prograde PG05.5 (CFexpress + SD)Card: Prograde 512GB CFexpress 4.0 Type B GoldOS: W
