Bridge

every time i try to move the files i pick for the contact sheet it opens photoshop but the thing where you reveiw the files says there are no files 

I just installed Bridge 2020 on Nov 17 and it crashes every few minutes just while browsing images.  I do change some directory names, though I'm not sure that is causing it because it's usually while Bridge is static and not being used when it crashes.  I have 10,000 images to edit from a shoot and had to uninstall 2020 and reinstall an older version.   I am seeing a LOT of reports of crashing so I hope Adobe gets this fixed.   Joe

I've seen quite a few questions on this, but none of them have remedied my situation, and there are many of the similar question sitting out there without answers.. I've reset my preferences. Cleared all caches. Uninstalled & re-installed bridge (both 2020/21 and 2019). Like many others, I want to customize my Bridge workspace - here are the steps I take. Open Bridge Click "Metadata" workspace Turn off each of these columns by right-clicking on column name and clicking "Close Column" Arange the widths of remaining columns Click "Window" --> "Workspace" --> "New Workspace" --> and give it a name. It shows up on the top with the rest of the workspaces like it should... BUT, all the columns I closed show back up on the right side....   The reason I want them gone is I do a lot of my culling on my MacBookPro and use the touch-pad for scrolling - when ALL of the collumns are there, the screen also scrolls left and right as it wants to since its near impossible to scroll

HelloI have a lot of pictures with Country and City IPTC information and I cannot find how to use them for filtering. Should I move these informations as keywords?

I updated Bridge 11.1 yesterday, and I lost the camera raw option to open files. I had to go back to the old version. How do I fix this?

Hi,I'm trying to register an event handler for `selectionsChanged` event.main.js hascsInterface.evalScript('init()');index.jsx hasfunction handleSelection(event) { if((event.type == 'selectionsChanged') && (event.object instanceof Thumbnail)) { alert("selections changed!"); return {handled:false}; } } function init() { app.eventHandlers.push( {handler: handleSelection} ); }but the handler is never run. Why does this not work with CEP extension? Thanks!

Hi, Does anybody know how to run Photoshop actions from Bridge 11.1.0.175. It seems to have disappeared on this version unless I am missing something?Tools > Photoshop > Batch?

I cannot get Bridge to display all the metadata categories I have chosen in Preferences. If Bridge is to be useful, I need to see certain types of BASIC file info about the resources I'm browsing/viewing - like file dimensions and frame rate etc., but I cannot get Bridge to display this most basic and essential of info.  Why is it so hard to configure the app to display the desired info about a file?  Am I missing some basice step? Please help!

Short snippet that will remove duplicate terms in a list. I futzed around with this for a while trying to figure out the proper regex and methods to accomplish this. I start with a list of terms, copy the first to a new array, globally delete, copy the next, and keep going until I'm through all of them. Thought someone might find this useful.   try{var term = ''; //new stringvar terma = []; //new arrayterm = '444\n111\n333\n444a\n111a\n333\n111\n333a\n333\n222\n444'; //sample stringterm = term.replace(/\n\n/g, '\n'); //strip blank linesterm = term.replace(/\n$/, ''); //strip trailing return term = term.replace(/^\n/, ''); //strip leading returnterma = term.split('\n'); //place into arrayvar clean = []; //new arrayvar n = 0; //counterwhile(terma.length > 0 && terma[0] != ''){ //iterate through all itemsclean[n] = terma[0]; //copy first itemvar regterm = terma[0]; //term to replacevar regex = new RegExp('^' + regterm + '$','gm'); //build regexterm = terma.join('\n'); //ma

I tried selecting them all and checking the keyword in the keyword paneldu. The clock spins and it seems as if the keyword is checked but then when I check an individual file, the keyword is not checked. Even if I try to assign a keyword to each file one at a time (VERY TEDIOUS), the clock spins and it seems to assign the keyword but then when I go back and check it is no longer assigned. What is going on???Thank you

Or in other words, what causes it to 'lose' the existing cache? Usually it keeps the existing cache from session to session but then sometimes it seems to have 'forgotten' this folder for seemingly no good reason. What is the decision tree here?

I am creating a genealogy book in Photoshop, using Bridge. I am on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6, using Photoshop 22.4.1 and Bridge 11.0.2.123. Batch renaming files in Bridge has converted files from psd to jpg, thus flattening all layers and downsizing from 8.5" x 11" 300mp to  .5" x .4" 300mp, and deleting original psd. I don't know where to start and may not have savvy to solve.

Hi, I am quite new in Bridge. I am using Bridge 2021 in MacOS. I batch renamed several photos keeping them in their folders. I also preserved the original filename. Now I am traying to find them using advanced search. Neither using filename nor preserved filename, I could find those images. But the images are still in the folders when I manually browse them. How can I solve this problem.Thanks

Bloated files that contain “excess” Photoshop DocumentAncestors metadata have been causing a few users some grief (65mb down to 110kb)!   Photoshop saving issue (FILES TOO LARGE)   There is a script for Photoshop to remove this metadata, however as this requires an open/save it is not great for files that contain lossy compression. Bridge is the obvious place to remove this metadata. I have hacked a different script to remove this DocumentAncestor metadata.   I don’t understand why Bridge requires a 2 step process! All this time I thought that the code was bad, when it was “working fine”.   Step 1: Run the Bridge script to remove DocumentAncestors metadata (the file size does not change, when it “should”)   Step 2: Apply a secondary metadata change in Bridge, such as adding/removing a temporary keyword, or rotating clockwise and then rotating back counterclockwise again to “force the image to reset”   The second step for whatever reason will force the file

The only version that works well over network is v11.0.1.109, any version newer than that either hangs when generating previews or takes absurdly long. I have my settings set to "Embedded", "Always Generate", "Transparency" turned off. Running on Windows10 with all my files on a network drive. My workstation has 32GB ram with an AMD Threadripper.  Yes, I try every new itteration with completely fresh everything (using SHFT+CTRL+ALT) and resetting and purging all settings/cache and it either crashes, freezes, or just takes 20min to generate a preview for a file that's 300KB. Going to have to stick with 11.01 still until issue is resolved.  And just to clarify, most of the files I work with are Illustrator files that are lesss than 2MB, there's just a lot in a directory (usually 100-200).

When I want to download photos from my Iphone to my Macbook using Bridge photodownloader only shows a few photos on my Iphone, while there are many more.The only way I can now do it is through airdrop which is very time consuming.How to solve this? 

With all the Subtance integration with creaive cloud shown today, is bridge planning to support 3D files?

I batch-processed a couple of hundred RAW files by copy-pasting settings.Everything worked fine until I went back to the same images to make more changes.Now they won't open in Camera Raw. The wheel is greyed out.I've tried moving them to another folder. Same problem.I do not have this problem with other RAW files.This is driving me nuts.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks!

All old .mov and .mp4 files opening OK in Bridge, but 2 x latest files, 1.mov and 1.mp4, will not open from Bridge in Quicktime Player. When opening from macbook Finder file, they open OK with quicktime player. But trying even saving files to another Bridge folder with a different name and files still will not open from Bridge. When saving file to another Bridge folder, just shows as a blank with the word Exec in it.
