Bridge

Hello,I would like to know if it's possible to see in the filter panel the hierarchy of keywords, so that the sub keywords will be shown under the main keyword, instead of all of them together.Thanks!

Hi   I often have 1000s of photos in a folder that I would like to copy or move to three folders according to whether the photo is landscape, portrait or square. I've searched but can't find a script. I know I can do this manually using Bridge filters but it would be really useful to be able to click a script to carry out the task.   As an aside, the Bridge filter has a tolerance on what it determines to be square so it filters photos that are nearly square. I'm after filtering photos that are exactly square.   Thanks in advance for any advice that can be given, Leo

Hello Some of my quote * to ***** havee been replaced by the mention "refused" Please explain how to come back 

I'm trying to figure out a way to diagnose why Bridge CC is so slow. I regularly use programs like Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere and don't notice any kind of inapropriate lag or delays at all. However, when working in Bridge it just feels slow. Opening menus occasionally just hangs for seconds on end before dropping down. Thumnails from a gallery I've previously viewed can take upwards of 10 seconds to appear after opening the software. But the most noticeable and repeatable issue comes when trying to select more then one image files. CTR-Clicking a second (or however many additional files) can take anywhere from 5-8 seconds to happen. This, more then anything else, is making bridge unusable. What should I do?

When I use Photo Downloader to import files from my SD Card I have to change the settings every single time I want to import files again. This is very annoying and time consuming.Why can't you make it like lightrooms import function where it retains all import settings...

I'm trying to add keywords to GIF and jpg files and nothing I do is working.  I've tried adding them in Bridge, and in the application it indicates the keywords but when I check the file with another application, none appear.  I've tried adding keywords using Photoshop 2022 (23.3.1) and Illustrator (26.0.3) and that doesn't work either.   I'm using a new M1 Max Macbook pro 16.   Does anyone know a fix or the reason this isn't working?     [Question moved to the Reader thread by Moderator]

I am working on a graduation magazine showing all of the graduating seniors for a school district. Sometimes I am provided the photos with the filename being the students last name then their first, and this is great as I have to alphabetize them. But sometimes the names are listed as First then last name and in previous years I would manually rename the files and it takes forever.  I was hoping there was a way to do a batch rename where it would flip the words in the filename. For example I have the name John Doe. I want to renamed it to Doe John. Then to rename all files in the folder in this same format.  I have searched and searched and I can not find a way it can be done. I am hoping someone has a solution as I don't want to spend the day renaming hundreds of files manually. Thank you

Hi,I want to create a script to call certain basic functions exported by all JavaScript-enabled applications.I've searched for a full list of commands but can't find it, just a few here and there.Does anyone have a reference please? Thanks 

A particular folder (containing many pix) will not open. Error message says something about system or operating error.

Is it a bug? Bridge slower than in previouse versions

Hallo Community Wenn ich ein Bild aus Bridge direkt in Indesign platzieren will, erhalte ich die Fehlermeldung «Installieren Sie die neuste Version von Indesign, um fortzufahren». Ich habe jedoch die neuste Version installiert. Woran kann das liegen?Hinweis: Ich arbeite mit Mac ios, neuste Version. Danke für eure Hilfe, Dominik

Hi allJust trying to use the string substitution option in the Batch Rename tool, but not having much luck. I'm just trying to rename all my files keeping only the first 5 characters of the filenames, so for exampleFrom17640 - Test item 1.png18650 - Test item 2 with added extras.pngTo17640.png18650.png Can anyone point me in the right direction. Many thanks

Bridge has been crashing regularly lately when I'm not using it. This morning I woke up to this message. Normally it uses about 5GB max. It's not the first time I've seen this and I wonder if it is connected to the crashes. I'm using an imac M1 running Monterey 12.3.1. 16 GB of memory. Any thoughts?

I have a lot of photos taken with Mavic drones. When saving the file (jpg or raw), the drone tags the file with one or more keywords, such as "pano" (for a panoramic), or "aeb" (for shooting multiple images at different exposures to later be combined into a single HDR photo). The tags (as well as a lot of other properties) are viewable in Windows File Explorer either by adding the tags column to a folder view or by right-clicking on the file and shooing additional details. I've also used the built-in property of "rating" to mark some of the photos as 4 or 5 stars. However, when viewing the file in Bridge, many of these properties don't show up. I would have expected that tags would show as "keywords" and rating would show as "rating". However neither of these appear on the Metadata panel, nor do they show up in any of the File Info sections. Is there anyway to view and/or capture this data in Bridge?

When I attempt to read any time related metadata say, "exif:DateTimeOriginal" (it also happens with pretty much any other XMP Date field), the formatting is completely different from what the XMP specification indicates. I get something like "mm/dd/yyyy, hh:mm:ss". There is no time zone. The XMP specification indicates that dates should be in W3C format (a subset of ISO 8601). I know the date metadata is correctly embedded in the image files because if I export the metadata using Bridge, it is displayed in W3C format (including the time zone). Perhaps the date metadata isn't being put into the thumbnail cache correctly? Is there a way to extract the date in W3C format without having to parse it? I also need the timezone. Thanks! Jake

I have the following problems with the search and workflow on my computer.- No results although the file names are available.- Search in the subfolders not possible- Very slow performance- the programme crashes very often- Maintaining the metadata is very time-consuming and inefficient.After resetting the default settings, the same problems again after a short time Configuration:- Adobe Bridge 12.0.1.246- Windows 10 Pro- FUJITSU CELSIUS M740power- Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1630 v3 @ 3.70GHz 3.69 GHz What are the possibilities to eliminate the problems?

This support system is full of old requests for .CR3 support (why are they not removed?), and the various pages are full of misdirection toward DNG conversion that does not work wasting untold hours of users time. Plus there are many (very typical) replies (that do not answer the issue) by Adobe employees of the type: "Look here for supported file types" or "be patient." What is the current status of Adobe .CR3 support in Photoshop Camera RAW? And please nothing about using the DNG converter or visiting the list of file types. Just the bottom line on how to get from a .CR3 to Photoshop (not Lightroom, Photoshop).

My photographs often overlap genres. I'd like a way to label each photograph with one or more genres. My goal is to be able to select, for examples, all "abstract" photos or all "nature" photos. And I want an abstract photo from nature to be in both catagories. Got ideas? Thanks, Phil

Hi All,I'm trying to keep certain settings from workspace to workspace in Bridge.  For example, whenever I open my 'normal' saved workspace I get the attached workspace where the thumbnails are tiny and 'divider line' between the left and the right is way over to the right.  I keep that line closer to the left and have my thumbnails much larger.  This used to be 'sticky' but I can't seem to make it work anymore.  Thanks! Mac os 12.3.1Bridge 12.0.1.246

I have put a large number of photos into sequence ina file.  When I look in File Manager the photos are shown in their original order.   If  I downloaded and used Adobe Output Module for Bridge CC 2017 version 7.0 would that enable me to send the photos in the sequece I want to a friend?                 

I am currently exporting a Cache for shared usage. 21000 images. About 4000 of them are PSDs, mostly RAW based photos with minor edits (all saved without composite layer /max compatibility) to save disk space > cuts down file size to about a third.Is it expected that creating thumbnails for this relatively low number of files takes about an hour?

Chosing the root folder and even showing all subfolders shows no results in the Bridge search function.I can search Windows File Explorer and get results, but not Bridge.Version 12.0.1.246 Also, having to display all subfolders and items is a memory-heavy process and extremely ineffecient. It would be preferrable just to search file names and display the results, just like File Explorer, except with generated thumbnails.I've searched other discussions on the forum, and the problem seems to have existed for 4 years with the only solution being 'Show subfolders and items', which didn't solve the issue originally.
