Bridge

I have an ongoing problem searching for particular files in Bridge. I've gone through and added keywords to my graphics files, as well as a lot of files have keywords in the names. For example, I have a png file "bluerose1.png." As keywords I put "watercolor" "flower," "floral," but not rose,  or blue, because that's already in the title. But when I do a search in the whole folder, and choose "all metadata" with the keywords watercolor and rose, "all criteria are met," it won't find the rose, and in fact I'll get a "No results" message. Even though I know for a fact that particular file is in that folder. If I choose "If any criteria are met," I'll get ALL the files tagged with watercolor, even though they aren't roses. So why doesn't Bridge find the keywords that are in the titles, as well as in the keywords? Windows finds the keywords in the titles just fine, but it doens't pick up the keywords that I've added with Bridge for png files, only for jpegs.

I was able to import photos from the camera directly to Bridge via cable, but now it no longer works. Has it changed in the program after the latest update?

Takes a folder in Bridge at least 15 min. to load. Help

Adobe Bridge causes my internet to disconnect. It somehow interferes with the network connection. This has been an ongoing issue since last fall (late 2019) for me. I currently have the latest version of Bridge installed (10.0.1.163) on my Windows 10 system. Over the past 6 months I have uninstalled, reinstalled, totally reformatted the system then reinstalled, nothing works. I am aware Bridge does not use the internet actively. And yet, no matter what, within a minute or two of starting the software, it always freezes my internet. As soon as I quit, internet is back. Tough situation as I've been a dedicated Bridge user for as long as it's been on offer. I can't give it up as part of my workflow. So now I have to stop doing anything online before I can use Bridge. There are several other instances of this being reported on the forum, but no conclusive answers beyond "don't use Bridge." https://community.adobe.com/t5/bridge/bridge-cc-2019-uses-all-of-my-internet-bandwidth/td-p/1042

I use Adobe bridge 10.1 but it does not start up, I see a screen for a moment and then it shuts down again without further messages.I also use Adobe Photoshop 21.2 and Lightroom classic 9.3 and Lightroom desktop 3.3 and they start up without any problems. The previous version Adobe bridge also started without any problems.Please give your advice or solution.With regards Ron

Hi,I'm having some trouble getting Bridge to show preview pictures for Iphone Video(.mov) files.I have folder with 99 *.mov videos and when I browse to that folder in Bridge it tries to calculate the previews for tose videos, when that is done- it shows somtimes some of previews,- the next it show previews of some of the other files and none of the other files it showed before,- somtimes none of the previews - on rare occasions all of the previews. I found some tips on google for solving missing previews which I tried:- installing q-lite- installing k-lite codec- deleting the cache- set bridge to use software rendering- increasing cache size to 400.000none of that helped. I thought it might be the amount of videos, so i moved 2 videos to a diffrent folder. But the previews were still not shown in that folder. I finally tried it in a virtual machine with windows 7 with some of the videos and the previews were all visable there.  I use Bridge 10.0.4.157 on W

Hello everyoneI am a photographer and lecturer for photography at the Merz Akademie in Stuttgart and have been working with Adobe Bridge for my image selections for about 15 years.Usally I could go through the pictures with the cursor keys and when I deleted one, the next image was active. In version 9.1.0.338 with which I am working now, this is no longer possible. When I delete a picture, none is active anymore and I have to click on a picture every time to go further.Does anyone know the problem and have a remedy for this?Best thanks and greetings from Stuttgart,Victor

Es tut mir wirklich leid aber die "neue" Bridge Oberfläche ist TOTALERSH.. !!! So umständlich war dieses Tool noch nie zu bedienen ... 5- ... Bin wirklich am überlegen die Plattform zu wechseln ! Schlechter geht´s nicht !!!

I am trying to use Bride to go clean up my old photos. When I tried to download it, I was told I had to update my Creative Cloud first. When I clicked on Install updates in Creative Cloud, it froze so I turned to chat support. The person was very helpful and spent over an hour with me, trying to solve the frozen Creative Cloud issue which was the first step to downloading and using Bridge. He finally got Creative Cloud to install updates (screen sharing magic, cleaner tool etc) and Bridge was downloaded. However as soon I click on Bridge to open it, it immediately says Bridge had to shut down please send a crash report.  Unfortunately it was too late to keep working on this issue (since it was past midnight by the time we got to this stage) so I had to end the chat session with that agent. The next day I got another agent who said they don't provide any Adobe Bridge support and for me to check in the forums. The Bridge thread in the forum has over 3000 conversations and the ones I

I want to be able to search the metadata keywords in my library of vector art. I have a lot of keyworded images and it looks like I can only search by filename. I tried using Bridge, but it didn't work. Need your help. Thank you.Eric

Since updating to Catalina clicking on an illustrator file will not open it nor can I drag an illustrator file into a folder. Other files will open like folders or jpegs. My file type preferences are set to open in illustrator so its not that. I've also updated my Bridge and Illustrator software. I can open files through Finder.Using a Mac book pro and a Wacom tablet.Thanks for any advice!Dawn

I'm trying to use Windows File Explorer to search for images with a keyword assigned in Bridge. The only images that are coming up are .tif files. I see that the keywords are showing up as "tags" on the tif files, but the other file formats don't have any tags. How can I make the OS recognize the keywords?

We're seeing that search does not find the expected images unless we 1st go to the top level folder and do: View/Show items in subfolders.  However indexing takes almost an hour for our 6,000 image library, making Bridge pretty unusable! As I understand it, "View/Show items in subfolders" forces the library to be "indexed".Why is that step needed if we have all ready exported a shared cache? (which took several hours itself!) Running Bridge 10.0.4.157 on Windows 10 in a Google File Stream environment with the images and cache in the Google File Stream. Anyone able to search reliably in a Google Filestream environment with a shared cache?

Ohmy Gosh..Houuurrrrss later, what could have been a fun one hour edit of a fantastic shoot day has become a 6 hour, unsuccessful backache session, uploading and re uploading images only to repeatedly discover that hundreds of the images are randomly becoming hidden.  I shoot with my iphone and I shoot on a Canon withh a basic digital card.  Why is this happenning?  Does anyone know?  Does it have to do with icloud being live on my laptop? I just want to:1. upload the digital card to my laptop into a folder2. Upload the iphone images into the same folder3. Use Bridge to edecide which ones to keep and finalize, and delete the rest It isnt working anymore.  I used to be able to work this way, but it has been a long time since I shot. Lastly, Why on Earth do we not have a cut and paste button on bridge, anymore.  The dragging feature doesnt work that well.  I wish (so badly) they'd allow is to cut and paste. 

Can anyone tell me where the noise reduction panel is in  Adobe Bridge July 2020 update, please? I can see the sharpening panel under Detail, but no noise reduction.

Issue:One of the issues that arises when working with multiple teams on multiple projects is that inevitably some people occasionally do not adhere to naming protocol.  If a file or folder's name is then changed to correct the file name and it's not in a section within the documents "links" folder it is often lost to the program(unlinked/broken link). Time is lost relinking files after renaming, some times its 1 file, or 1 file with multiple instances (no big deal) other times its multiple files of varying types in various locations and it takes a lot more time to relink those.Solution:Bridge already "talks" to the majority if not all of the Adobe suite apps. The idea is for all relevant changes to files and folders done within Adobe Bridge to be noted and temporarily saved, when an indesign file is opened and it has missing links (while having Bridge open) it would allow for  Bridge to communicate to Indesign that "Folder A" was Changed to "Folder B" as well as any other fil

I guess it's time to update Bridge. I have CS4 that I've used for quite a few years without a problem. Now, whenever I select an object/photo in Bridge and want to open with PSE 2019, I get an unwelcome screen asking me what I want to do today. Where can I download a stable version of Bridge? I'm not interested in Creative Cloud. Thanks for helping. BTW, I'm a Mac user: version 10:13:6

Hi, l have a problem scrolling true my files in Bridge using a touchpad on a laptop. The scroll is jumpy, not usable, however using a mouse everything works fine! Any suggestion to solve the problem, thanks!

I updated the Adobe products on the day the updates came out last week (Jun 2020) so I'm now on 10.1.0.163. I had been working on a graphic with the previous version of Photoshop and completed it on the latest version. While the file isn't small at 1.08G, I've worked on much, much larger files in the past, but this file now won't render in Bridge. That is, the thumbnail shows the icon only and not the thumbnail. Furthermore, the icon is that of the previous version of Photoshop, not the most current one. There are numerous other versions of this same graphic that were completed on the older version of Photoshop that show just fine. This is a royal pain for me and kind of defeats the idea of having a browser. The image (not just the icon) shows fine in Apple's Finder and I can open the file from either Finder or Bridge. I have cleared and optimized the cache a couple of times with no results. I have also reset the preferences for Bridge, again with no results. Is there any way I can get

Adobe tells me there's an update available for Photoshop, Bridge, InDesign and Illustrator. I use them all daily as I have for decades. I want to know what is new, but instead, when I click on "Learn More" all I get is a sales pitch. Please treat me like the professional I am, and give me real information. Have you added features? Modified existing ones? Where's the useful information? Badly done! 

Is there a way to create a Smart Collection to filter only .xD format files?
