Bridge

I use this script to anonomise files i send out for outsourcing. However one part of the script  does not sucessfully clear the metadata apply an empty template to the selected files. Anybody got any idea where im going wrong or maybe there is a simpler way to clear the metadata.      // https://forums.adobe.com/message/8934040#8934040 #target bridge if (BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge"){ var clearMetadata = MenuElement.create( "command", "Clear Metadata", "at the end of Tools"); } clearMetadata.onSelect = function (){ var selectedThumbnails = app.document.getSelection(); var filesArray = []; var modified = 0; for (var i = 0; i < selectedThumbnails.length; ++i) { var val = decodeURI(selectedThumbnails[i].name); var f = new File (decodeURI(selectedThumbnails[i].path)) val = val.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, ''); p = (val.match(/_0/).index)+1 val =val.substr(p,4) newName = val + '.psd' var

I usually resize thumbnails using the bottom +/- slider but now when I click on the slider or anywhere on the bottom toolbar it greys out and does nothing. I can still resize using Ctrl +/-.Anyone have an idea whats going on?

The current version of Bridge still is natively Intel compiled and not available as native M1 resp. M2 aka Apple Silicon version. Does someone know, when we will get a M1 resp. M2 version no longer using Rosetta 2?Thanks for feedback and help,Roland

Half way through 2023, Bridge 2023 is still significantly slower than 2022 version. It's slower to start, slower to open ACR, and freezes way too often. I'm deleting Br 2023 and going back to 2022 version.

Bridge 10.1.1.166Recently installed this - and am still finding my way around.  But I have seen how to use the filters, and am aware that if an open folder does not have any data for a filter used in the filter panel, then that entry in the filter list is not shown.  But I have opened two different folders, both showing the file creation dates in the metadata shown in the content display window, and one shows the appropriate filter for the creation dates, and the other one does not.   No change to the filter list. I have tried resetting the preferences at the startup, and the same problem happens on those same folders. Most folders in fact show creation dates in the filter list, but some do not. See screenshots attached.  Any ideas would be welcome.

The ability to have separate Bridge instances remains crucial not only to my workflow, but the workflow every imaging production professional. Content Windows do not cut it. Why? Unlike opening a New Window (or instance of Bridge) like we could in version after version previous to 2023, Content Windows as currently implimented lack the ablity to: Apply different filters to multiple sets of images and have those controls independently and simultaneously available. Like you can when running multiple instances of Bridge.Have those differently filterable sets available with full controls in separate spaces / windows sets. Like you can when running multiple instances of Bridge.Quilckly switch between sets of images with shortcut keys. Like you can when running multiple instances of Bridge.We need these features back, working natively on Apple Silicon running Ventura.Instead, here I am installing an Intel app on a second generation Apple Silicon machine. Lame.

I updated Bridge recently and deleted the version I was using - STUPID mistake. I have been trying to figure out how to get Bridge working like it was before. My Desktop is not appearing at all. What do I need to do to get this app running again? Thanks!

I have no problems with Nik's original Collection Version 1.2.11 in Photoshop 24.5 at all, which works perfectly!   The only issue I am having and like so many others is with Adobe Bridge 2023: for purging RAW files and for Screen Viewing, which still starts to freeze my desktop on Windows 10 when viewing many RAW files within Bridge. And also, every time I exit out from Adobe Bridge 2023, it crashes down and leaves me a dump file.   I have never had this problem last year with Adobe Bridge for editing RAW files and for viewing them. So, the big? - When will the Adobe Engineers team get back to the basics for Bridge to work within Photoshop normally again? This is the worst Adobe Bridge 13.0.3.693 for 2023, I have ever encountered from them!   [Mod: Title changed]

When downloading from my Nikon NEF SD card, Photo Downloader skips random files.  Why? 

In older version, when I created a new folder it appears automatically in copy to / move to dropdown menu. Now I have to open that new folder after creation if I want to have it in copy to / move to dropdown list. It´s annoying 😞

In old version it wasn´t problem to directly drag and drop files from zip to bridge. Annoying because I have to open the destination folder in windows file explorer and drop the file and then return back to bridge 😞

I have tried: Uninstalling and reinstalling Bridge. Updating 12, 13, and downloading and trying the Beta. Resetting Bridge preferences. Clearing the Bridge Cache. Disabling the antivirus (and there is no VPN). Reinstalling my wifi adapter drivers. Buying and installing a new wifi network adapter. Using the creative cloud clean remove tool and following the guide to clean remove and reinstall creative cloud.  Looking for network issues on the (Windows 10) PC.  Uninstalling all unnecessary programs. Note: There are no networked drives listed under "My PC" from explorer and no other programs cause my internet to disconnect like Bridge does.  This has been happening for 5 days now or so and is consistent when opening Bridge.  Bridge does not cause the internet to disconnect ONLY if the "My PC" folder is not expanded, otherwise, when opened or when expanding the "My PC" folder, Bridge causes the internect to disconnect until Bridge is closed, when immediately the interne

Hello,  Bridge is running into two errors when processing exports: 1. Export appears to function normally and displays a converted file after processing on the Essentials tab (72 to 300ppi, changed dimensions, etc) but when I open the items in PS, the image is unchanged (72 ppi, same dimensions).  2. I am recieving the error message that PNGs, TIFFs and JPGs are "unsupported formats" I uninstalled v13.0.3, installed 13.0.2, reinstalled v13.0.3, purged the cache and reopened and it is still not functioning. Working on a Mac OS Monterey. Any insight is appreciated.

Bridge 2023 does not open at all. No further notice. Reinstalling even without the preferences doesn`t help.Any suggestions ??Thanks for your help !Stefan 

Do keywords applied in bridge translate to SEO keywords for google?Thanks

I've used this system for years, last week it worked fine, this week it's all jacked up.  I'd open an image using bridge into Camera Raw.  Do some light edits and then OPEN and would open the file into Photoshop.  Well it no longer does that, I hit open and it closes the CR edit page and does nothing else.  WTH did you change Adobe!  Stop screwing with people.  Any way to change this back?  I can use 2022 and it works fine, but now not 2023.  Oh and Photoshop '22 will not allow me to save into a standard JPEG, it keeps wanting to make it a JPEG 200 file.  Do better Adobe.  Any advice?  So Frustrating. 

I want to be able to view panaorama photos with a 360 view. Does Bridge have any sort of 360 viewing capability?

In previous versions of Bridge, the process of copying/moving files did not block work in the application. In 13 it does.

Running the latest version on a Mac Pro with plenty of RAMM memory, a fast chip, lots of hard disk space.  If I want to manually move a few photo thumbnails within the Bridge window, the process of scrolling with the images selected is painfully slow.  I have been using Bridge & PS for 15 years and have never experienced this.  Does anyone else have this problem?  Any & all suggestions, tips or work around would greatly be appreciated.  Mark W.

Toutes mes photos ont une liste de métadonnées, que j'utilise quotidiennement depuis plus de 6 mois pour retrouver des visuels répondant à certaines métadonnées. Depuis jeudi dernier 1er juin, la recherche avancée ne fonctionne plus. Même si je rentre 1 seule métadonnée à trouver dans un dossier, Bridge ne trouve rien "aucun élément".

Bridge 13.0.3 on iMac, latest OS.  Everything below is not normal at all for bridge; I use it a lot and am familiar with normal behavor, at least with Bridge 2022 and earlier.  These instances are random but typify what happens every 5 minutes or so while using bridge. 30 seconds to switch from filmstrip to essentials10-20 seconds to return from ACR to bridge30 sec to to move 3 images to the right in essentials10 sec to open a raw file after dble clk20 sec to move to new image after keywording an image Is there something I can do to stop these delays?>?Or is it inherent in your software?

Photoshop CC is currently busy with another task. Please finish that task in PS - open the document you want to place into and try again ..I receive this message frequently ... Is there a solution?

The magnifying glass tool screws up the part of the image I want to see. What can I do to prevent/solve this?

The Filter Panel won't display all selected filters. Some like "Labels" "Ratings" "File Type" "Keywords" won't show up on the panel at all. I use to use the "File Type" filter alot but now can't use it at all. Anyone know how I can fix this? Bridge 2023 v13.03.693

Sometimes a client, one in a hundred, complains my photos are over saturated and over contrasted. They certainly are looking at the photos in a deffective monitor. But after a few updates ago when I open Bridge I see my images as I just described, over saturated, specially yellows and reds, and with a stronger contrast. After a few seconds all images turn to normal and the original colors are set. In Photoshop, ACR or even in the internet, as Instagram or Youtube, I never see this color distortion.My adobe programs are set in Bridge for Adobe RGB and Fogra CMYK. My Benq Pro monitor is properly calibrated.My question is: where is this color distortion coming from and why does it happen on the first seconds after opening Bridge?
