Bridge

I am trying to install Bridge and it keeps getting stuck at 10% progress. I found this site:https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html. I successfull ran the creative cloud desktop app uninstaller. Then I went to run the "creative cloud cleaner tool", but when I open the .exe file, I get the following error message:  "There was a problem while reading the contents of 'AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe': Data is corrupted" I am stuck and don't understand why I'm having such a roadblock just trying to install Bridge. Please help!

I often used to delete many images in Bridge after running a conversion action in PS. Since the last few versions whenever I try to do this I am told there has been an error and the files are not deleted. Adobe please fix this, it should be a basic function of an image viewer. 

I have always opened my photos in Bridge and then opened them in camera raw for the first part of editing. All of a sudden I am not able to do this. Im not sure why? Can any one help?

Well, I just lost all the keywords from my ten plus years of shooting digital cameras. Auto-Update deleted old versions this last round,and along with it all my workspaces and keywords. The workspaces were easy enough to redo, took about twenty minutes tops. But the keywords will never be redone. People, places, project titles, client info, all gone. No, I don't have this as a backup as none of my backup drives have the requisite folders. Of course this is entirely my fault, compounded by my niave trust that Adobe would give any thought to transferring what is arguably some of the most IMPORTANT information from one update to the next.  So, before I bother moving forward keywording as I have done for years with new image files, is there any means of having this information stored in the cloud so that it will not be deleted by mistake again? If not, I will not bother doing any keywording at all.

Today, October 30th, after installing Catalina 10.15.1 Adobe Bridge fails to start. Anyone else seen this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Bridge with no joy. I have also deleted old caches, preferences etc.

The upgrade to MacOS Catalina broke Bridge. As in broke, the program opens but you can’t see any files (rendering it pretty much useless). There is no information I could find anywhere that addresses this problem; Adobe does not provide support for Bridge. Is there a way to make it work in Catalina or has Adobe abandoned this vital program?

I am using Bridge Version: 10.0.0.124 on an iMac Pro with MacOs 10.15.1 Catalina.  When I wish to delete an image from Bridge I right click the image and select the command 'Move to Trash'.  I receive the following message: 'An error has occurred during the delete operation.  Some files may not have been processed'.  This message is accompanied by an exclamation mark and an 'OK' box.  When I click 'OK' the dialogue box and the image disappear.  However, if Bridge is subsequently refreshed or closed and reopened, the image has not been deleted.  It is still present within the folder.  Currently, I am deleting files by right click/ Move To/Desktop: then, on the Desktop,  right click/Move to Bin.  How do I fix this problem?  Thom.

I rely on Bridge for my workflow. Bridge 2018, and all before worked fine.Adobe in typical fashion seems to have broken 2019.Image previews are now crunched, unclear, look like JPG Compression level 1.I would revert to 2018 but now 2018 no longer provides a pathway to Photoshop Contact Sheet under TOOLS.I have investigated all of Bridge 2019 presets, cache level, cache clearing, maximum file size etc.All of my work collegues (~25) have the same issue: PREVIEWS ARE BROKEN.I have seen comments on this on other forum.Is Adobe listening to their professional subscribers?

Hi all. Using Latest Bridge on MBP 10.15.3 I have a large collection of photos that I have everything keyworded. What I'd like to do is after I complete a search by Keyword, say "Family" I create a Smart Collection. So that search is Saved. Amazing! I know that I can do this for anything that I keyworded. My question: is there a way to create a folder of images that instead of Duplicating, it creates an "alias" of sorts? I know that I could just take my Smart Collection select all the images, and drag them to a new folder in Bridge called "Family". But I think that this just duplicates the files, which means more HD space used. I've also noticed that if I move an image from a Collection to a new Bridge folder, it actually moves the original file from it's original location which I DON'T want to do. Anyone have a workflow for this? Ultimately I'll be importing the Family folder (of aliases?") this into Plex Media Serveras a Shared Library.

Is there a fix/workaround for this?I use bridge to rename and metadata tag large volumes of video files. Our vidoegraphers shoot at multiple locations in a city, and for some projects multiple cities within a state. For smaller projects I don't really notice, but since I updated to Bridge 2019 (currently running version 10.0.0.124) the program seems to be taking longer to generate thumbnails/previews, and whenever I rename the files or update metadata reprocesses the thumbnails/previews. Prior to the 2019 update I did not notice it doing this. Further, sometimes it will hang up while processing and the files won't update and become un-updatable until I purge the cache completely for the folder. I ran the numbers yesterday, and for one of the larger multi-city shoots it looks like I can currently spend nearly 90-120 minutes just waiting for Bridge to process thumbnails/previews. And i do in fact need the still image thumbnails for quick reference while tagging, so turning down

Using the "Metadata" panel in Bridge; manually typing keywords into IPTC Core section. Does this resave the image every time I add decide to add a new keyword this way. Wondering about JPEGs being resampled every time.Are there other metadata/keywords adding methods (even outside bridge) where this is a concern? Thanks so much; have a nice day.

Hello,is it possible to manage my psd files (uploaded to cloud documents or cloud files) directly from adobe bridge? I seem to have access only to libraries from Bridge.

Hi all, Iwould like to replace title field  text to headline in the metadata in batch. There are so many images and I really don't want to copy and past to one images. Dose anyone can help me batch replace one to onother field please?

Hi there, I'm working on a book publication with a lot of figures, and the author, who prefers working analogue, is asking for a contact-sheet type printout with the images to one side, some specific metadata info, and enough space to scribble down notes for edits for me to make. Essentially what I'm looking for is a way to export how things already appear in the content window of Bridge with 'View contents as details' selected, shown below. Unfortunately the contact sheet export option in the Output tab only exports the filename, as do both the Photoshop and Lightroom options. I'm hoping that there's some way to easily automate this, as I'll have to do this for hundreds of images, and the list is pretty much already there as I want it in Bridge, just not as a printout. 

Hi everyone, We have a problem since we're using Adobe Illustrator 2020.When I apply color settings in Bridge (2019 or 2020) : I'm synchronized.Now if I open a file in Illustrator 2020 wich doesn't match and I select "Use file color settings" or "Convert to… " or "Delete" -> When coming back to Bridge it says I'm not synchronized anymore.But if I check color settings in Illustrator : it perfectly matchs.The message of Bridge is just WRONG. Is there a solution to avoid this misinformation in Bridge please ? Best regards.Damien.

Hello- I recently decided to use Bridge, ACR, and Phtotshop for all my processing photo projects. I have nothing against Lightroom (I've used it for a long time) but I just decided to get proficient in ACR and Photoshop so Bridge turned into my method of organizing. My problem is this- I am using the latest version 10.0.3.138, and AFTER I've done all my processing I go to Output to export to my printer (off site, private company) and I want to save the file with my watermark added. I use the Output settings pane to add the watermark, set print size, etc but when I try to drag and drop the Output preview to my custom folder settings in the Export pane I don't get the 'start export' button and nothing happens. If I drag the photo from the Content folder it Exports the photo but without the watermark! I've searched 'settings' and 'preferences' but have found no settings I may have missed. I also could not find this exact problem in the help files. BTW- I unistalled/re-installed Bridge and

I use Bridge 2020 daily and often use the Full Screen Preview (spacebar) function. Lately it freezes and I cannot exit out of the preview. Escape does not work. Sometimes, I can switch to Photoshop, and select 'Close and go to Bridge', and this will bring me to Bridge and exit the Preview. However, the main menu bar will be missing (see attached). Has anyone else had this, or know of any solutions? I'm going to check out the Bridge troubleshooting page. Thanks! Bridge, Photoshop, etc. CC 2020 on iMac 2017 running Mojave (10.14.6)

v2020 is almost unusable. Still nowhere near v19. IT HAS BEEN MONTHS SINCE RELASE - THIS IS UNEXAPTABLE - USE YOUR RECORD REVENUE AND FIX THIS!

Hello,Often I am not able to delete in any way the file jpg or other that I am browsing on Bridge.Seems to accept the command and the program pass to the other image but the supposed "deleted" file is still there! (I do it wiht  by pressing CANC or right click and delete, same issue)For delete them I have to move the file in another folder and delete the folder, or do it from Windows Folders. Can someone help me to find a solution or undestand why it's happen?  Thank you. 

When Bridge is maximized, if you hover over any of the main menu items (File, Edit, View, etc.) you can't click them if your pointer is positioned at the top of your screen, like you can with other Adobe programs, as well as the built-in Windows minimize, maximize, and close buttons. In Bridge, there's a gap of about 5px at the top of each menu item's hit box. Having the hit box go to the top of the screen is better for usability, since you don't need to be as exact with your mouse movement. If an element is at the edge of the screen, it's easier and quicker to jab your mouse at it, since you don't have to worry as much about positioning.

Hello,   Since the latest update, when deleting a file, the blue selection on file disappears instead of going to the next one. It goes back to the beginning of the folder and I have to select again the file/picture I was arrived at. Not efficient when you have a huge selection. If I choose "refuse", the blue selection stays and it goes to the next file as usual, but it makes me work twice and loose time. I could use only "delete" and the right arrow so it was easy, but I now need the mouse to reselect the file...   I tried to reset everything but the issue remains with delete.   Does anyone know how to fix that?   Thanks!       [Moved from Creative Cloud to Bridge by moderator. || Note: BRIDGE-8932 ]

__Bridge appears useless when searching for keywords on a server...for example, I have a folder with the word 'Nashville', but no results turn up. In fact, no results unless I look for all images or something broader...

Bridge 2020 stop showing thumbnail of video (.m4v  and .MOV) thumbnail.  I turn on use software rendering, as well as highlight each video to purge Cache for that video.The first 1 or 2 video I purge Cache show the thumbnail.  But when I did the 3rd one, nothing happen.  Besides that, Bridge freeze, I could not purge cache anymore.  I have to restart my computer, if I'm lucky, I can purge 2 more, but then Bridge freeze again.I have hundreds of video, please advice. Half year ago, before I update Bridge to the new version, I can see both video right away.  I could not work at all now!!!I just update my bridge to the newest version, and no luck. Thanks
