Bridge

Ctrl+F opens the search window. But the search is frosen to the folder My pictures and the search criteria to Filname and contains. I can specify freely the filename and the search is then perfect. But it is impossible to specify a different folder or another criterium, for instance dates or tags. Or a search specification different from contains.This is new, it has always worked perfectly before. And a clean reinstallation does not help.What can I do?

I have a iMac 2017 edition, 8 core processor, 32 gb of ram and 1 terra-byte of hard disk space and yet it struggles to run adobe bridge - I have 200+ gb of available space! It's unbelievably slow for a 5k computer, but only slow when using Adobe products, does anyone have any recommendations? At one point it used 900% of my cpu according to activity monitor and regular uses 100% to 200% of cpu. Is anyone experiencing this? It crashes randomly and sucks up a large amount of processing power? I am currently using Catalina, and Adobe Photoshop 2020 and Adobe Bridge 2020.     UPDATE: Just uninstalled everything adobe related (removed all adobe files from my hidden library folder, application support, preferences etc ) and no change just fired up bridge and it hit 600% cpu usage when trying to load a folder of tif files. Installed nviewmp and work great! But i want to use bridge for batching and not interested in using gimp or anthing else,

HelloWhen closing Bridge a message box appeared regarding clearing catche. I ignored the message and imagined that I could do this when using later in the day however, Bridge will not now open despite trying many times. Currently the icon is bouncing in the toolbar. I have had no issues previously. I am working on OS 10.15.7. Any advice would be welcome as I am working on an urgent project with a short time scale and cannot open the required Canon RAW files. Many thanks!Carl

We purchased a large batch of design assets and began to rename them.  After much thought we decided we would like to keep the original file names based on the fact that we can search the provider (shutterstock) which would make them easier to find in our DB.  I need help removing the text we've added and reverting to the original file names.  Examples below.Current name:baby_feet shutterstock_9193737.jpgstars shutterstock_1018373.epswe simply want to drop everything prior to the "shutterstock" and keep everything the same after.  We would like the follows to look as shown below.shutterstock_9193737.jpgshutterstock_1018373.epsthanks in advance for any advice on how to fix this blunder

When I am in Bridge ver 12.0.1.246 and try to import my Nikon NEF files to an external western Digital 5TB drive with the Photo Downloader feature I get this error message:"Cannot create the specified file. The file name is invalid or you do not have the permission to save to the specified directory."  I tried saving the files to a folder on my desktop and had no problem. How do I get these files to download onto my external drive?

Updated Bridge yesterday to v 12.0.2.252 and, now, files cannot open in Illustrator from Bridge. All files default to open in Photoshop! Illustrator is not even an option when right clicking on the file to select "Open with." This has happened at least once previously with an update to Bridge about a year or so ago.

Hello,Since yesterday, my Bridge isn't able to open any Adobe illustraor, PDF and EPS files with "enter" button or by clicking on the file icon. The message error : The document "(...)" could not be opened. AIRobin cannot open files in the "Adobe Illustrator document" format.Bridge 2020 - V10.0.1.126Illustrator 2020 - V24.0.1Mac mini 2014 OS High Sierra V10.13.6 It's a bit frustrating !Thank you by the wayAdrien

Hi all  Since I down laoded the latest update of Bridge it crashes a lot when opening. It jsut freezes and you have to Force Quit to exit..... I am running Mac Os Big Sur beta 11.3 is anyone else having this issue ? Ian 

The version of Bridge that I'm using has a bug that reverses the order of the images when I import them.  I'm trying to write a extendscript to reverse the order of the images by renaming them.  For example if I import five images, image one needs to be renamed image five and image two needs to be renamed image four etc.  The problen seems to be my standard filenaming format:  ©_Stan_Tess_20220516_0005.ARW.  If I remove the © symbol I can rename the file but not with the symbol.  If I use Batch Rename... within Bridge I can add the © symbol but I would like to do it in the script.  Thanks! #target bridgeif(BridgeTalk.appName == 'bridge'){try{//create menuvar cpPath = MenuElement.create('command', 'Image Order Fix', 'at the end of Tools');var ftcpPath = MenuElement.create('command', 'Image Order Fix', 'after Thumbnail/Open', this.menuID); //add to Contextual menucpPath.onSelect = function(){ImageOrderFix();}ftcpPath.onSelect = function()

Using Mac OS Monterey 12.3.1, Bridge 12.0.2.52. I move new pictures into a folder named "pics" with various subfolders named according to subject matter for further sorting/storage later.  The sort is set to Date Modified but that's not how the files and folders are behaving.  When I last used Bridge on Thursday, I'd move some files into the corresponding subfolder and Bridge would move the subfolders up and into the order that I'd added files.  Now, the folders aren't moving in the sort; I've confirmed the files do exist in the correct subfolders but the folders remain in the spots they were located on Thursday.  All of the new files I've added to the "pics" folder appear at the top of the Essentials thumbnail view.  I've checked my preferences and cleared the cache but the subfolders won't budge.

When I click 'enter' or double click a file, Bridge has no response and no longer opens file in Photoshop.  Even right click > open with > Photoshop has no response.  The only way I've found to open a file from Bridge in PS is to click and drag onto PS icon, and when I do that, it now places them as a smart object, which it never used to do.  Fixes I've attempted: I uninstalled / reinstalled Bridge and Photoshop, double-checked the 'file type associate', reset the preferences, and did the Cmd+Opt+Shift reset.  Nothing is working.  I'm using all the latest updates and version of CC 22.  Thanks in advance.

Please, Adobe - solve this...it is really a pain!

Obviously, I'm not the only one. Widespread issues on both Mac and Windows. Looks like this has been going on for well over a month now.

When I simply place the cursor anywhere on a thumbnail in Bridge, either on the image or on the frame around the image, Bridge launches Photoshop automatically, moves the image into Camera Raw and then opens the image in Photoshop. All of that has to be closed so I can return to Bridge where the same unwanted behavior of Bridge starts all over. If anyone knows a solution, please share. I am considering using Revo Unistaller to remove everything Adobe, including Creative Cloud, Flash, Air, Acrobat, etc and the totally clean reinstall. Question - is there a way to backup/save on external drive my Photoshop Brush presets? I looked in Presets\Brushes folder but it's empty. System - Windows 10. PS v21.0.2, Camera Raw v12.1, Bridge v10.0.1.126 Thank you to anyone who might be able to be of he

Hi there! I'm really hoping someone has had the same problem as me, and can provide a solution. Recently purchased a new Canon 5D Mark IV DSLR. Shot full RAW on a single card. When I uploaded my images to Bridge, as I always do, all the shots were triplicated! The root folder I created to upload my files to contains all the images, as expected. However, there are four other folders that are created:1) MISC - contains no files2) 100EOS5D - contains a copy of all the images3) EOSMISC - contains my camera sidecar file (.ctg)4) DCIM - contains another folder called 100EOS5D that contains a second copy of all the images, and another folder called EOSMISC, which contains a second copy of my camera sidecar file Honestly, I don't know if this is a Bridge problem or something to do with my camera settings, so I'm attacking it from both sides. I've checked the settings on my DSLR a few times now and nothing seems amiss, so I'm leaning towards Bridge. Could Bridge be creating these extra fil

Hi! I just downloaded the latest version of bridge, and exports don't work anymore. I'm on windows 10, when I click on custom export, select my settings and click on "start export", nothing happens. If I right click on the picture and go to export progress, I can see my exports stacking up there, showing "x pending jobs" and below the list of pictures, showing "0 of 1 files". I tried on jpegs and raws. Anybody knows where this could come from please? Thanks!

Hi, when I add a new line to 'Criteria', the drop down boxes (defaults set at 'filename' and 'contains') don't respond - I can't select anything other than those criteria, so if I want to search on file type etc, I can't. Anybody else encountered this? 

The running speed of Adobe Bridge is too slow. It is frustrating to have to wait for a long time every time you run the bridge and open a folder with images. There is a big problem that the work efficiency is not good. Of course, there is a reason why the file size is large, but now is the time to improve the speed of the bridge to work with a large design file.

Hi there! Here my first post. I have a problem here who looks really weird. I need to rename some files on Bridge and for some unknown reason, the menu inside of the Batch rename doesn't open . It's highlighted in blue when you "mouse over" but the pop up doesn't open. I already tried both 11 and 12 versions and deleted the preferences already but nothing works. everything else works , it's just this tiny bug who make me loose a lot of time manually  rename files. I have a AMD and RTX so maybe some incompatibility  are running over the new updates . If someone had the same problem and did something different let me know Again I tried an old version and cleaned the preferences. Thank you!  

In Photoshop Elements you can add Keywords to photos from many different folders on your PC. When you search for specific keywords it displays the results irrespective of which folder they are in.We need a photo organiser for our business and Bridge seemed to be the answer BUT. From what I can see to find images with the required Keyword you have to search folder by folder for images that have that particular keyword. If you try searching from the top folder down with a particular keyword, the result is nil.Surely I am doing something wrong. Surely I am not the only one that wants to search for images with a specific Keyword spread across multiple folders.Can someone point me in the right direct, please

I want to make proof sheets using Bridge and the Output workspace. However, only the filename can be displayed. Is there a way to display other metadata fields, such as description, copyright or keywords? Thanks.

I have installed Adobe Bridge CC (2017).  The font size is too small everywhere, and difficult to read.  How can I increase the font size?

Here's a screenshot to show you the size of bridge's menu vs. the size of chrome's tabs, which are representative of everything else on my computer. I keep finding questions and articles, but all of them are community solutions that ask me to meander into regedit or change my screen DPI. With respect to those folks, I'm not super into digging around in stuff I don't understand or changing my entire computer's ecosystem for nonsense that's exclusive to Adobe Bridge. Same-said articles and questions go all the way back to CS6, so I'm hoping there more modern solutions that, ideally, are solvable in the Bridge app.  Just for the sake of record: This issue is not persistent in other programs, it's exclusive to Bridge. Adjusting interface size doesn't change anything, unfortunately.  Working on a laptop, Thinkpad X1 Yoga, Windows 10, screen size set to 3840 x 2400. Working with Adobe CC, so everything's as updated as it can be. 

uso un processore Intel i7 di 4 generazione. mi interessa usare solo Bridge e Camera Raw. potete dirmi che versioni devo usare e dove posso scaricarle? grazie       {Title edited by Moderator}
