Bridge

In Adobe Bridge CC, I am unable to drag and drop items from the Content panel into folders in order to reorganize my photos. It works fine for a while, then stops. If I shut down the program and restart, it will (sometimes, not always) work for a while, then stop again, so the only way to move files is:> File > Move > Choose folder > navigate to folder > confirm... versus the single fluid motion of drag and drop.Can someone please help? I would be very appreciative! Thank you!Pam

I've noticed that Adobe Bridge 2023 has a constant CPU usage, reported by the Activity Monitor between 100-300% (sometimes even more). Most of the time it's at 180%.That's in idle, so no images are being opened, selected, no folder is changed, all previews have been generated,... Meanwhile Photoshop uses well below 2% in idle.  Does Bridge create an index in the background? If so - how can I turn that off?If Bridge always uses CPU ressources that will cause unnecessary battery drain and will slow down other applications for no reason at all. Again: this is in idle.

When you use the default "Bridge Search" mode from the search box in the upper-right corner of Bridge, it doesn't include non-indexed files by default. For me, that means that Bridge usually finds no file matches in the folders I'm searching in, because they're not indexed. (Usually network folders.) Could you please allow us to change the default behavior of Bridge Search mode to include non-indexed files by default?

In previous versions of Bridge, you could have adjustments made in ACR stored in a database versus individual XMP sidecar files.   In the latest version of Bridge (13.03), it seems that no matter what preferences I've set, there is an XMP sidecar file created after adjusting Canon CR3 RAW files.   Does anyone know of a way to have ACR changes saved to something other than individual sidecar files? Thanks.     {Thread title updated by moderator}

Keywords exports from bridge are in regular text format editable in word or notpad. But keyword exported in photoshop elements are exported in XML format and not easely editable. And keywords exported in Lightrool Clasic are in ascii or UFT-8 format. None of them are interchangeable  with the other applications. Why can't adobe be consistent be consistent with a Export/Inport format for all applications. The Bridhe format would be the simplest as it can be easily edited with a word or notpad app to make changes and then have a consistent Inport/Export format for all apps that adobe support Keywords entery. I keep my main Keyword file in Bridge and woul like to Export the file and Inport it in Photoshop elements and Lightroom Clasic; but can becaue of the different formt used by each app.Can adobe do somthing about this in future updates to their apps? Make the Inport/Export format the same for all apps.  

Adobe Bridge lässt sich nicht öffnen obwohl neuste Version und aktualisiert!

Dear Experts, I  am trying to batch trace all images inside Adobe Bridge using Adobe Illustrator script.I am able to batch trace and get .ai file output, but I want .svg instead. I have already created a custom preset in Adobe Illustrator for my needs. But tracing each image individually in Illustrator is a tedious process. Please help me to change or write new script which I can use in Adobe bridge or Adobe IllustratorThank YouSoans 

I thought I was going crazy, but it turns on that on many occasions bridge 2023 does NOT delete a file (win10). It disappears in Bridge but it just remains in the folder, and becomes visible again after refresh or restart. If it can't delete for some reason it should give a messeage. Bridge is USELESS like this so AGAIN, back to Bridge 2018 (!!) which thankfully I have still installed.  Adobe when will you get your things together and finally focus on key functionallity again?

Hi, I have trailcam that captures 100's of wildlife short video clips ( 20seconds ). I want a very fast video browser that will let me mark for reject as I browse by or even rate them on the fly. At the end I want to rating to stick so I can view with lightroom rating filter and also to delete all rejected. It currently takes me ages to view and then write down the reject file names so I can operate on them in explorer. Not slick atall.Video preview in LR is painfully slow. Can Bridge do this ?

The settings open to nothing I've ever set up as a workspace and I end up having to reset all of them again to my preferences

If I Custome Export a jpg with Include Original Metadata set to "All", will Keywords be included?

As the title says...I am using a macbook air. M1 - 2020. Running Ventura 13.2 I've already tried purging my preferences, reshreshing previews, reinstalled both bridge and photoshop, nothing happens. This is the prompt I get when attempting to open a jpg, "could not open 'FILE' because a jpeg marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete)." The only current solution is to right click, open with preview, then the thumbnail generates and I am able to open in PS. I handle hundreds of files a day and this is not ideal. Both Bridge and PS are up to date according to Creative Cloud. I have found nothing online to solve this.

Using the forward delete key while naming a file during PDF export will cancel the export. This is pretty inconvenient, especially when trying and failing to insert the cursor after the character you wish to delete. Bridge 13.0.3.693MacOS  13.3.1 (a) (22E772610a)Studio Mac Apple M1 Max 64BB My coworker also experiences this with the same setup

The usually hidden /dev folder in the root of my MAC is showing in Bridge.  I think this relates to managing devices installed or attached to the mac.  But BRIDGE is showing it and is causing my Bridge App to hang or on occasions crash.  No idea why it has just started showing up. I have done an OPTION restart of Bridge and cleared cache and reset all settings, but it still shows up in Bridge. Any ideas anyone? Running BRIDGE 12.0.1.246 and Macbook Pro 2016 with Catalina

For all the advances, I still can't change the size of my mouse pointer. It's still too small!! Win 11 and latest Bridge.

Any Adobe Software I use keeps crashing and shutting down my laptop. I use a very high quality laptop, not some old one. And its brand new. I have used other softwares to see if its the computer but they have not crashed or shut down my laptop. I even tried gaming to see if it would crash, but nothing, works perfectly fine. So it has to be the Adobe softwares. Im using Bridge, Photohshop and Lightroom. I use only one program at a time never to many programs at once. I have a i7, 16gbram, and a high graphics card. I have a lot of memory space to not crash. So it HAS to be the software. Has anyone had this problem? Adobe I would love some feed back or a new update please.

I typically browse my initial images in a folder in bridge, then I will reject an image and use the filter option to only show No Ratings. In all previous versions of Bridge (mine is 13) once I "reject" and image, the next image after becomes selected. This was handy for pulling rejected files out of my view. Now, in Bridge 13, once I reject a file, no image is selected. Then if I "arrow" to the right, the selection jumps back to the first image in the folder. Is this behavior by design? I'm going to say "No Sir, I don't like it". Bridge 13, Windows 11

Shortcut/alias thumbnail previews don't work in Bridge (win10). They work in Directory Opus (jpg, psd, mp4, etc), For some files they work in File Explorer (jpgs, not for psd). But in Bridge they have only associated program icons.  

Since the install of Bridge 2023, if I have a selection of photos and click to star rate them, Bridge simply crashes. It does this probably 7 times out of 10. No explanation at all. I have a Filter on to only display unrated photos (I select from Brodge, drop onto Ps, process and save; then back in Bridge click the Star Rating so I know they are done.) Version: 13.0.0.562Computer: Mac Studio running Monterey No isses at all on previous Bridge 2022.Report sent each time it happens.

Since the upgrade to 13.0.2 Bridges freezes and crashes a few seconds afterwards, when you have viewed a picture in full screen mode and go back to overview (2x space bar). Doesn't matter which picture. Clearing cache doesn't help.

After adding new files (docx) to Mac finder they are not showing in Bridge latest ver.

Current version of Bridge unstable.  Too many times it collapses or just hangs up--forever spinning circle.  sometimes I have to force quit either the app or my iMac.  Ios:  current version of Monterrey.  Taking forever to load images.  Pretty consistent problems since upgrading. Reverting to Bridge 2022 and Photoshop 2022.

Hallo, wenn ich Adobe Bridge Version 13.0.3.693 starte, höre ich das Arbeiten der Festplatte und in der Bridge-Statuszeile erscheint der Hinweis: 'Miniaturen werden generiert...'. Wenn ich Adobe Bridge beende und wieder starte, beginnt sofort das Neueinlesen, obwohl ich kein Bild hinzugefügt, gelöscht oder verändert habe. Wie läßt sich das automatische Neueinlesen abschalten? In den Voreinstellungen habe ich diverse Einstellungen ausprobiert, ohne Erfolg. Danke für Deinen Tip bzw. Lösung. LG Hein
