Bridge

This is a follow up post where the latest version of Bridge still has not addressed the basic info keyword fields.  As reported on the original launch, the field is forever long.  It does not adjust to fit a standard layout like when you do a file, file info within Photoshop.  I have attached a screen grab of what the fields look like when right clicking on an image within bridge and then clicking file info.  I do this a lot as I am working in the stock photo industry and often update my keywords and descriptions without having to open an image to do it.  The other screen grab is when I do a file, file info within Photoshop. That's how it's supposed to look and be formatted when right clicking within Bridge. Interestingly, this does not happen on my Macbook Pro, but it does on my Imac.  I've also attached my Imac system info.  Either way, you can see the clear difference between "bridge file info" and "the way it should be".  I have to keep

I recently updated my version of Dropbox and now Adobe Bridge will no longer display the images I have in my Dropbox folder.  Whem I click on the Dropbox folder in Bridge it gives me a 'No items to display' error.  I know my Dropbox folder has items in it.  And it is syncing just fine.  Bridge simply won't preview the items the way it did before the DB update.  I've been working on this for hours and it is driving me insane. PLEASE HELP!

Hi there, re.: Adobe Bridge compatibility with PC Server via SMB connection from MAC. Any IT folk out there familiar with Adobe Bridge running in a Mac based office (40+ people) across an AFP server connection to a mac server?  If so, you know that we're in trouble as Mac is no longer making servers. I'm hoping to find articles or people experienced in using a patch to allow Bridge to function across an SMB connection to a PC server to view my image bank from my Mac. Thank you,  ~ iMac19,1; 8-Core Intel Core i9 ; 3.6 GHz .  MAC 0S Monterey 12.5.1   

This is happening repeatedly.When Photoshop has been opened from Bridge and is shut down - typically after some editing and saving of an image - Photoshop can't be run again by double-clicking a thumbnail in Bridge. The working wheel lights up for a second, but nothing furher happens.When Task Manager is run, Photoshop can be seen running busy under Bridge - as shown in the attachment.When the busy Photoshop task is ended, Photoshop can be run again from Bridge.Why is Photoshop not freed and put to sleep when shut down on the (x) symbol?Best,Eigil Skovgaard

One month ago I bought a Canon R5, now new memory cards and new .cr3 files. Both cards are visible in Finder and Bridge, but the Photo Downloader in Bridge does not work properly. CFexpress card is not visible at all, but the SDXC card is visible even twice (EOS_Digital#1 and EOS_Digital#2 - both work). Enabling Adobe Bridge in the Full Disk Access section and new updates 2021 did not help.  

something about "Panicked task , blah blah blah, Adobe Bridge 202"

Hi,  I have just purchased a new iMac with M1 chip. I have installed bridge and whenever I open it I get the attached error message. This makes it so slow it is unusable as it is not GPU rendering. My Mac is totally up to date with Ventura 13.1. I have searched the forums but found no solution to this issue. Can anybody help? I can't find any contact numbers for Adobe which aren't about billing.  Thanks in advance. 

As soon as I start a simple little "save to jpeg" workflow, it gives med "1 error files" and when I open that row I get Reason: Destination Cannot Write and Task: Preprocessing. No files are saved/converted. I have run workflows before. I have turned off Ransomeware Protection in Windows. No luck. I'm running Bridge 2023. I have write access to the folder, I usually choose to create a subfolder from the original location.Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm getting old, cranky, and set in my ways. I don't have time to learn a new workflow. Adobe, why do you hate me? In the past, the changes have been helpful and improved my workflow. For some reason, though, many of the 2023 changes are making me miserable and costing me time in re-learning what used to be simple tasks. Is it really just that I'm getting old, or do others also feel this? I'm guessing probably both, but still, please stop hating me, Adobe.

Hi. When I zoom photo 100% on screen in Bridge, the pic will blinking. Whats happen?

In Bridge 2023 There is a major annoying change ..  The Move to Trash   that has existed forever on a Mac is now "Move to Bin" This was an unnecessary change and should be fixed back to Move to Trash  In the older Move to Trash the confirmation message also included the number of files being trashed. That count is no longer there.It should be fixed.This guards against trashing multiple files when only one or a small number were intended  Adobe PLEASE fix this

I just purchased a new 2021 iMac; running Ventura 13.0. I've installed the latest version of Adobe Bridge, and the thumbnails from my desktop (folders and files) will not load, making the software essentially useless. The spinning pinwheel just goes on for literal hours. I've purged the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, downgraded to the previous version - all to no avail. Anyone have any ideas for a possible fix?  

I'm really getting frustrated with this new release of Adobe Bridge. Tonight, I tried to assign some keywords to stock images by selecting an image and checking the keyword, which I assume is how you do it. However, as soon as I selected another image and then went back to the previous image the already assigned keyword was unchecked. What the heck? Another bug?

Latest version of Bridge will not open on windows 10.Have not found any solutions that fix the problem. I have tried uninstall and re install with no success.Please help!

Anyone familiar with this problem? My comuter is new MacBook Pro "15". Solution?

Whenever I open a file in bridge it loads all the images correctly thank quickly turn each image green and the preview green as well. I have completely reinstalled bridge and got the same problem, this happens with .jpg and .cr2, which both I have never had a problem with in the past

Not possible to search for images by file size.E.g. I enter 80 000 kb, but Bridge change the number and search for 78 kb

Bridge 2023 13.0.1.583MacOS 12.6.1PS 24.1.0 1. I have many files in different folders where I stack individual images and their "components" )tiff, NEF,jpg_ in one group per imageWhen Bridge now closes in one or more folders many groups are magically UNGROUPED by themselves All by themselves.  2. If I remove an image from a group the count no longer decrements I have to instead UNGROUP the entire group and restack / group to get the count to be correct

Todays issue was the final straw. I imported 437 photos (half raw, half jpeg) into bridge and attempted to batch rename all of them. After pressing ok, the loading dialouge box would appear, then nothing would change. No files have been renamed. After repeating that multiple times, I selected one photo and renamed it successfully.  After that success I selected all of the photos again and I attempted to batch rename them. This time after I pressed ok, it corrupted all of my raw files and renamed my jpgs to "Dec22(sequence #)". I formatted my cards after putting them on my drive and now all of my raw files are gone. This is bad... obviously. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I pay monthly for a service that doesnt work on the regular. This is just one of the many issues that I have expereience recently.  I attached a screenshot of how batch rename somehow changed all of my raw files to an unsable file. 

Hi all,If I open a group of photos in Adobe bridge and select a photo (or all photos), then right click and select "file info" the "basics" panel shows my copyright info for 2021. I have created a template for 2022 and 2023. I then have to import the 2022 template to apply the correct date to current files. Is there a way to set the 2022 template as a default, so I don't have to keep importing the correct template? I will need to then change it again in 2023. Thanks in advance.Paul

Bridge won't open some RAW files in both CR2 and CR3.  the same files do open from Finder  MAC 12.6.2.For the files that do open in Bridge, sometimes adding metadata works and sometimes I type in metadata or click one in my master list and get-- So I did meta in LightRoom which is a huge pain because the keyword list there is a lot more strung out.Then i tried to rename in Bridge and my RAW files have disappeared. This is all I can get in the Bridge window. RAW files are also gone from the Finder desktop folder. xmp are still there. Also Bridge will no longer rename in the same folder.
