Bridge

This is a new problem and I'm not quite sure when it started.  Certainly within the last couple of months. I haven't been able to track the exact steps when working in Bridge that cause this.  Also, sometimes I have recovered the files, but I wasn't tracking those steps either.  The worst case was recently where all the files I had open in Bridge were lost, but thankfully, I found them in TRASH so was able to recover them. I use a Mac Studio. I wish I could provide more information.  What I can say is that it has happened several times.  Most of the time, Bridge behaves normally. 

“External exFAT drive not mounting in Bridge 2024 v15.1.0 on macOS Sequoia 15.5, though accessible in all other Adobe apps. No errors, just not listed. Permissions and cache reset attempted.”

Mijn laptop werkt in Windows 11 Home versie 24H2. Ik kan Bridge niet meer openen - er gebeurt niets...Bovendien (als ik via de verkenner naar mijn bestanden ga) zijn alle .psd bestanden ineens omgezet naar Adobe Photoshop Image.26 en Photoshop (versie 26.8.1) kan die ook niet meer openen.Er is enkele dagen geleden een update gebeurd van Windows, kan dit de oorzaak zijn?  Hoe kan dit opgelost worden? 

Hey everyone, So in this new post-pandemic work world many of us are working from home via VPN and logging into our work environemnts, sometimes changing which VPN to log into on different days. For my daily log-in location I have mapped the drives for ease and speed in getting to work right away each morning, and for all my InDesign links to work smoothly, linking to locations all over those drives at the remote office. The issue i am running into is the lag and freezing Bridge experiences searching for these mapped Network Drives when im NOT connected to the NAS drives over VPN. When im working elsewhere, or only on my local machine, i am (or cannot be) logged into that daily VPN location as it makes my internet get throttled at speeds dictated by the otherside's upload speed (10x's slower than my internet). The reason for not connecting to the VPN is of no importance. So is there a way to tell Bridge to temporarily not worry about a NAS drive that is not con

this happened to me before but I can't remember how I fixed it after I updated to the latest CC version on my mac 10.13.6 High Sierra.Usually, the Folders Panel shows the tree of folders and has the one I am in "open" in the panel.After the update, I am in the folder but the folder panel doesn't even show my user folder. It shows the computer folder, and guest folder but not my Matt folder.What do I do to change this?

I notice today that LR classic, Photoshop Bridge won't show any newly made folders , Anyone else seen this ?

I like to make sure all my photos have keywords assigned to them.  When I upload new phots, then I search for 'keywords' 'do not exist' and I get a ton of folders which when opened contain photos WITH keywords.  What am I doing wrong?

Hi, wenn ich einige Bilder in Bridge anschauen und davon durch die ENTF taste lösche springt Bridge nicht zum nächsten Bild sondern wählt gar kein Bild mehr aus. Soweit ich weiß gibt es die Funktion "Automatisch Weiterschlaten" in Lightroom, aber warum gibt es diese nicht in Bridge. Hat jemand eine Lösung oder vorschlag wie das gehen könnte ? ===== Hi, when I look at some pictures in Bridge and delete one of them with the DELET key, Bridge does not jump to the next picture bridge chooses no picture. As far as I know, there's the Auto Continue feature in Lightroom, but why is not it in Bridge? Does anyone have a solution or suggestion how that could go?

Does anyone know how to delete the keywords that come assigned with stock photos that I purchase? I've tried every which way in the keyword panel but can't figure out how to delete them. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there. I'm having an issue previewing Webp images in Adobe Bridge. I have just aquired a new Macbook and for some reason Webp images don't preview, however I am able to preview them on an another Macbook using the same version of Bridge.  Any insight on how to fix this would be great. Thanks.

When I am reviewing images (by tapping the space bar on a thumbnail) I want to zoom in a bit. When I left click, the image it s-l-o-w-l-y zooms WAY, WAY in. Then when I click again it s-l-o-w-l-y zooms out, which takes FOREVER!!!  Isn't there a way to control the zoom so I can enlarge it to the size I want it, and not have it take a zillion years to do so??

First thought updating Bridge to latest software was the issue, then after updating to latest version of Bridge yesteday the problem persist. The content I want to view in Bridge is on my desktop and not loading and the wheel keeps spinning.  

TL;DR: Scrolling in Bridge 2025 (15.0) is still laggy, but Bridge 12.0.4 still works way better. It astounds me that Adobe has yet to fix this. It's been years. I've tried every trick in the book and scoured the internet for anything. Opening the same two folders of raw images Bridge 2022 (12.0.4) will scroll like a breeze while Bridge 15.0 will be unbearbly laggy. This is insanely frustrating as newer versions of bridge have a couple quality of life features which I enjoy but need to keep myself on an older version to simply browse files without going insane. Adobe needs to fix this. When Windows Explorer can scroll and preview raw images faster than Bridge, you know Adobe really messed up.

I am converting CR3 images to tif with only optics corrections. Can anyone tell me why the file size goes from 51MB to 256 Thanks

The scrolling in the keyword-list and in the thumbnail view in Bridge 2024 is much slower (and therefore worse) than in Bridge 2022.Scrolling using Mouse Wheel in Windows 11 is factor 3 or 4 times slower.Where in 2022 about 0.8 of a thumbnail height was scrolled with one wheel tick - it's in 2024 less than 0.2 of a thumb's height.Same in keyword list. Is the scrolling adjustable in Bridge 2024? Please resolve this bug!

Hi everyone,I hope you can help on an issue I can't seem to solve. I updated Bridge yesterday to 15.1.0.635. Since then all of my file ratings, file names have disappeared from the filmstrip panel. The rating and filename appear in the preview window; if files are stacked in the filmstrip the file name, rating and label show on each file in the stack; Files that have been given a label will show the label and rating only and not the file name in the filmstrip; all other files with just file names and a rating don't show the information. I have purged the cache and I can confirm that thumbnails only is not enabled. I am stumped and hope that someone here has an answer to this issue or is it a bug in the update?Any advice gratefully received, many thanks.

After installing Bridge 12.0, when I access a folder of images (that have been culled originally from photo mechanic version 6), the images flicker like mad (including xmp files) on the screen (see file attached) making it unusable. I reverted back to the previous edition of Bridge and the flickering/bug went but Adobe has now forced me to have the latest Bridge 12.0 and the problem has returned. Please can I have some assistance from someone?  I would normally just run off the old Bridge but it wont work unless it has the latest update. I hope I can find help here. I am disspaointed that is no live chat or way of speaking specifically to someone from Adobe, like a helpdesk or chat. Thank you in advance for any help. Kind regards, Jennifer  

When this is technically the only way to import from a hard drive and the application is not doing it, it can be a very frustrating process. I tried finding the answer with youtube tutorials, allowing permissions, AI answers, searching for updates with CC,  googling and yet 0 results!

 I have a fully paid yearly subscription to Bridge, P/S, Lighroom/ Lightroom CC, etc.When traveling, I had message, unable to use Bridge, unable to use P/S or other Adobe Products as I did not have access to internet and program required new log in.   It had worked day before and then would not load next day. Often in area where internet is not available or very limited  - will not connect due to weak signal.How do I avoid this problem - Thanks 

All newer versions of bridge from 2023 to present are laggy as heck. Borderline unusable. These would be versions 13.0 through 14.x. Scrolling and filtering take forever, it doesn't matter if you're working on an SSD, hard drive, external drive, or NAS. It's all just as laggy. No trick in the book sees any improvement. Bridge doesn't care that I gave it a huge cache on an SSD for thumbnails. Still laggs just as bad as default. Solution: Install Bridge 2022, aka version 12.0.4. All the lag suddenly goes away. I can scroll through a NAS folder of 1,300 raw images like butter. Adobe seriously needs to figure their stuff out because this is unacceptable. You're telling me a multibillion dollar company can't figure out how to scroll files when their old version could? If they ever remove version 12.0.4 from the creative cloud install files, our entire workflow is completely screwed.

Dear folks in the Bridge team! It's beyond understanding how you don't realize, these versions of Bridge are a big failure!? It's like an early beta version. But already 2 years in beta... Compared to version 12, the newer versions have numerous bugs, the UI is almost non-responsive, etc. The overall feel of the software is like a bunch of libraries put together in a hurry, by a student.Annoying things:- The window often misses the clicks. Yes, clicking in the window, too often does nothing. Tested on multiple computers. (I have to connect this bug with the annoying sticky hand tool bug where the mouse button release is missed, making the hand tool and the lasso tool unusable in photoshop, and Lightroom Classic is affected as well with this sticky hand tool).- Scrolling is painfully slow, to the point of unusable. I see, the scrollbars were reinvented, just to break the things, because there are absolutely no benefits having some super minimalist fancy scrollbars. Instead of fixin

Today I updated Bridge to 2025. I was using 2022 because of the newly introduced features were too annoying.I am very-very sad to experience this SLOOOOOW scrolling speed in EVERY list. This must be some bad taste  or lack of understanding among the devs... I tried these:- Folders- Images- Preferences -> File type associations- Preferences -> MetadataIt seems that in every list one scrolling (a half wheel) scrolls around 2 lines of text which is infuriating. Yet the scrollbars are thin, grabbing with the mouse is another challenge. All these contribute to render these new versions of Bridge counterproductive. Instead of focusing on their work, users are annoyed by these problems which are working well in every other software.Dear devs, there are some bad default settings in your scrollbar component. This bad setting propagates everywhere, in every list. Just make scrolling 3x faster. by default Please, look at browsers, Windows Explorer, or any other image viewer software an

Version 14.0.0 which is fine works. Version 14.1.0the problem is that when I select any photo while browsing photos, I always wait at least 1 second in the preview for the image to focus. (rendered).

Scrolling in the Content pane stalls in details, thumbnail, and list view. Display a folder with a few hundred items. Click and drag from the first item down so the list dynamically scrolls. At some point (usually with just a few dozen items selected), the scrolling will stop and the list will not scroll any further, thus limiting the number of items that can be selected. Reproduced on both Mac and Windows, repeatedly. It does happen occasionally on Bridge 12 but not nearly as often and only when selecting hundreds or more items. Scrolling is also much faster in Bridge 12 than 15 beta.

After the loupe is active in an image, using the arrow keys to select subsequent images makes the loupe disappear (after moving a couple images ahead or behind first image). It seems related to if the image has to "load," the loupe disappears. Note the little message in the preview says, "loading" the loupe disappears. See attached video of the problem.
