Bridge

Hello,I find that Bridge is not seraching / showing within the folders placed in my Desktopis there something wromg I am doing ?thank youeric 

Hi All, I have thousands of images that I need to apply the same metadata template to in Bridge. They are in a ton of folders, so I can't just open one folder and apply the template in one huge batch. Is there some other way to automate the process of applying a metadata template to all images in a folder structure? Or, something like an Automator script or a Photoshop action that I could create a droplet for to drag-and-drop and execute the template application? It would be great if I could add more than one step to the process as well. Thanks!

Bridge beta 14.0.0.57 - MacOS Monterey 12.6.8 I added a shortcut for Purple label, command-0, the shortcut dialog shows this assigned and "no rating" still assigned to command-0 (num) which I assume is the number pad, I'm using a MacBook Pro 2019 and Apple BT keyboard and neither of them have a number pad. The Label menu shows command-0 for both operations. Also, Preferences->Labels and Ratings appears hardcoded and is not updated. 

I have 2020 instructions for Bridge that state I need to go to: Edit> Camera Raw Preferences> then click "apply auto grayscale mix when converting to grayscale" however, in my new Bridge 2023 I cannot find this Default Image Setting. My question is where can I find the selection to "apply auto grayscale mix when converting to grayscale"?

When I delete an image and press the right arrow, it skips two images and I must then click the left arrow to actually be on the next photo, that didn't happen before.

Hi dudes, A common problem without a solution at this time for me.With Bridge 2020 (10.0.3.138) on MacOs Catalina, i have a serious trouble with thumbnails generation and fileformats recognition. In my case, the mp4 and the mov files are not recognized as video files. I can't preview them and Bridge do not generate their preview vignettes. Instead, it display the default attached system application icon. I have tried several operations as uninstalling Bridge then re-install it, resetting the configuration files, modifying the associated filetypes application inside Bridge, turn on "Use Software Rendering", purging cache, but none of these worked for me. Could anybody help me to find a solution ? thx.  

I am new to metadata and Bridge, but I'm pretty sure it's going to change my life! In my workflow I take photos from my phone and load them into dropbox. From there I usually change formats and sizes for various social media uses. I am going to attempt to use Bridge to automate file format changes for me. But when that is all done, I need the newly assigned metadata for those images to stay with the image when I put them back onto my Photos app for use in social media. Is it possible that metadata will stay with the image? Or....is there a way to choose images for social media management through Bridge? Maybe something I just haven't discovered yet?

Hello, I am a photo educator whose school district licences adobe creative suite. My students use PS and Bridge. Today I spend half an hour trying to reset Adobe Bridge to display thumnails.I am sick to death of buggy software and spending so much time trying to fix bugs. I have reset Bridge/Cache repeatedly.I am ready to reccommend that we disccontinue paying for defective software.  To what department should I send an invoice for my time. Thanks,Allan BarnesAnn Sobrato HS/Morgan Hill USDMorgan Hill CA 

Since one or five updates ago Bridge CC (Windows 10) has been all new wonky--it does this on both a Ryzen and Intel computer, so two distinct installations. I only use raw images. Bridge will frequently open the wrong image. That is confirmed by closing the converter and seeing that the image I indeed wanted to open is still framed as the chosen one--having just happened for umpteenth time that is the reason for this post. Or Bridge will open more than one image sequentially but, again, closing the converter finds but one thumbnail image outlined as selected. Last but not least annoying is that while pulling on the slider or paging through thumnails (Bridge is in thumbnail view mode) the already open PS desktop is invoked/switched to--the mouse cursor could not have accidentally slipped to the PS icon because I removed the icon from the taskbar to test that.The Intel installation is actually recent so uninstalling and reinstalling ain't gonna do nothing.

This is a regular problem I have been having with batch rename. If I need to rename very many files or the same files again because I made a typo or something else silly like a had a photo out of queue, batch rename will freeze indefinitely and then I have to close adobe bridge out entirely, force close it, and then start all over and there is no telling if it will work if I try it again. This has been happening for MONTHS. I am a full time photographer and I am at my wit's end with Bridge. As useful of a tool as it CAN be, the hiccups are starting to outweight the benefits. On a Macbook pro 2019 version on Venture 13.4. 

Bridge beta 14.0.0.57 - MacOS Monterey 12.6.8 In List View, columns are poorly justified. They should either have a fixed indent or be left-justified, column headers can be centered or left-justified. But please make it consistent as it just looks terrible and is confusing now. 

Bridge beta 14.0.0.57 - MacOS Monterey 12.6.8 In List View, important data is truncated and there is no tooltip or other way to show this imformation. 

I can not figure out what I did.  I select a photo, hit the space bar for full screen and if I right click on the photo it now magnifies to 200% instead of the 100%,help!

I have lost my images on bridge. I dont have another copy of the images I lost. I saved them in the same folder after renaming them under adobe bridge rename batch. Now it make the original photos blank with no images on them. Can someone please help? Please do not take this down. I need assistance. Can someone help to recover these images back to a jpeg? DO NOT TAKE THIS DOWN UNTIL I HAVE AN ANSWER!

Hi, is there a way to - or a workaround - to preview old adobe illustrator v.8.0.1 files in Bridge 2023? Thanks

Bridge 13.0.0.562New with this release, virtually every time I open any folder (including one that I've been working in for days) I get a popup recommending I purge cache now.  I click on it, a popup appears saying it's purging cache.  But...The popup always comes up with the progress bar at 25%, stays that way for about 8 seconds, then disappears.  Every time.  The progress bar never moves from the initial 25%. And by the way, Bridge performance is worse than ever.  Every time I open a folder (again, even one that I've been working in for days) Bridge immediately starts consuming over 99% CPU.  And getting Bridge to do anything is slow and painful.  Lots of white screens with "Bridge is not repsonding," no ability to scroll up or down, etc.  And when I edit a file in PS, it takes upwards of 30 seconds for the PSD to appear in Bridge. All of which is to say that Bridge is wasting a LOT of my time. I9-11900KWindows 10 latest release

With Bridge having sadly discontinued its handy feature to produce an HTML-based online gallery, saved locally, has anyone found a useful replacement? I wouldn't mind paying a few bucks to some third party as long as they had the earlier features displaying a thumbnail index with links to each picture with a caption posted from the image's meta description. Anbody found anything to recommend?

Hello all,I have a folder structure that looks like below, shoot-name-for-client-A  photo  video When I want to export, I thus cannot use the Folder Name template to rename the exported files since it creates names like "photo-xyz" instead of what I want "shoot-name-for-client-A-xyz". Is there a template for upper level folders? If not I also saw that there was something called Shoot Name that is set during the import, since I have around 100K pictures already imported, is that possible to set this after an import? In any case "Shoot name" doesn't show up among available templates but I'm hoping that it will once it is set in the metadatas or something. Thanks for any help.

Hi all, I am not sure if Adobe understands this issue, reportedly fixed in 13.0.4 but to me still an issue.Maybe I am doing something wrong.I have about 100 files in a folder marked RAW and about the same number in a folder marked JPG.If I select the last file in the RAW folder panel, then navigate in the folder panel to the JPG panel, then navigate back to the RAW folder in the folder panel, the panel jumps to the first file in the RAW folder. This slows down my workflow as I have to scroll down to the needed file. Regards, Steve   

Creative Cloud has been working fine for me for a number of years but now Adobe Bridge 2023 is almost destroying my ability to carry out any task on my Mac Mini. I quit Bridge and then it reopens itself after about 40 seconds. I think I might have to stop using Creative Cloud if this continues. How can I uninstall Creative Cloud or at least Bridge? 

Hi - I've found something similar on here from some time ago, but altering the code has stumped me. Our naming convention is follows this pattern :  MMC-1234_20200304_123456. We'd like to take everything before the first underscore (MMC-1234) and insert that into the IPTC Title field.  I have a script from an earlier post that does something similar, but I've tried to learn how to update the code without luck. I'll post it here in case it's just a line or two change. TIA! #target bridge if(BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) { addTitle = MenuElement.create("command", "Add Title2", "at the end of Tools"); } addTitle.onSelect = function () { var thumbs = app.document.selections; if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript"); for(var a = 0; a < thumbs.length; a++) { var selectedFile = new Thumbnail(thumbs[a]); Title = decodeURI(selectedFile.spec.name).split("_"); if (Title.length &l

I updated Bridge and Camera Raw and now I can`t  see preview of raw files (nef, arw and raf). There is only a preview for jpgs.  See attached. That´s awul. Can you help ? Thx.

Por que el nef se ve de esta manera en Bridge y cuando abro con photoshop no esta dañado la foto

Hello dear community,as far as I can remember, I could zoom in with a left click in the image preview and zoom out again with another left click.Now I can only zoom in and have to use the mouse wheel to zoom out. Is there a possibility to change back to the old behavior?

I have been selecting images in Bridge and using the tools> Photoshop> photomerge, image processor, etc for decades. Now thery are gone. WHY????? Now there is "auto collections" instead. It is a ridiculous overcomplication to my workflow. Perhaps it is useful to some. But, why take away such a great and simple way to process images with photoshop without having to open them. I would really like some answers.I can appreciate adding new features, but it is not right to take away ones that works so well, unless it makes your job easier and bettert.Bob Swanson
