Bridge

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.

I just experienced a situation where Bridge messed up some, but not all, file extensions during a batch rename. It's similar to some other threads I found, but different enough that I thought I'd start a new one. I have a folder with about 175 items. There are CR2 and JPEG files from two cameras, and HEIC files from an iPhone. When I did the batch rename, several, but nowhere near all, of the CR2 files, and a couple of JPEGs, got assigned the HEIC file extension. And some of the HEIC files were given the CR2 extension. There seems to be no rhyme or reason. As you can see from one of the screenshots, consecutive RAW files were given different extensions. My rename setup did not involve altering the extension at all. On top of all of that, about 8 files did not get renamed at all. Now, I can't undo the batch rename, and will have to take a great deal of time going through and fixing them. Anyone else have this problem, or know a remedy?  

The Batch Rename drop-down menus in Bridge do not provide any options other than the ones displayed, and any changes to parameters that can be altered are then irreversible. This looks like a bug that needs to be fixed.I tried the Ctrl-Alt-Shift Reset option as well as re-installing Bridge, but this has not fixed the problem.I'm running on a robust Intel/NVIDIA desktop PC with Windows 10 Pro as the OS.Any advice regarding this problem is welcome.

Has anyone found a solution to the no-dropdown-menu problem that is not a re-install, turn off taskbar auto-hide or delete preferences? I did all of those things and the problem persists.  Win10 latest updates.  All Adobe apps with latest updates. This is really infuriating.  I just got back from a week-long gig with a ton of images to organize/edit and I'm stuck trying to get basic UI elements to work. rgames

HiMy workflow depends on being able to use "batch rename" in bridge. I note it was updated this morning to 12.0.1 My presets for filenames in batch rename can't be editted because the drop down menus no longer work. Is anyone else experiencing this problem ? It was fine until the update this morning. Steve

I am unable to see the full list of file type using the carrot dropdown menu.I can arrow down to get to "Photoshop", and that's alot of tapping. This occurred after updating from 12.0 to 12.0.1

Re  Bridge Export not showing dropdown menus'I posted a question on this topic  about 10 days ago and was interested to see if there was now a permanent solution to the problem, but reference to this subject cannot be found. What is going on Adobe

The latest (January 2022) update Bridge which I downloaded and installed yesterday seems to have a new bug.  When I select the search dialog box using Ctrl-F, I can no longer get the drop-down menu items to show.  Clicking on the arrow beside the field does not show anything other than the value I used before installing the new update.  I'm trying to search for PSD files and the option is not available.

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?

You have to use the continue arrows at the top and bottom of the popup widget.

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
