Bridge

Hi, the new version of Bridge is really bad. I have no idea how that program got passed Beta tests? Adobe, do you need help with Project Management? Feel free to give me a call 😉 Anyway, to the issue. When opening the Photo Downloader and selecting "Browse...", the navigation tree is corrupt. Many icons for different locations such as Documents, Downloads, etc. are replaced with black square boxes. Also, I can't navigate to my network mapped drives as Bridge just crashes when selecting one. Finally, like others before me pointed out, settings aren't saved.These issues makes the program unusable. How do I revert back to 2019? /Andreas

Hello anyone at Adobe please help. I am paying a lot of money here!Issue#1Since I updated to Bridge CC 2017 it is nearly useless. When editing images I jump from image to image by using the arrow keys of my keyboard. It takes about 2-3 seconds to jump to the next image.This is horrible. Also starting up bridge takes way too loon.And YES I have already tried to reset all preferences and have disabled all scripts: NO CHANGES!Please help!Issue#1Another thing! Smooth scrolling has been killed by Adobe years ago on Mac PLEASE FIX this too.Why why is this even an issue Adobe.Cheers!DanI am running on macOS 10.12.4Mac Pro (late 2013)Processor 3,5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5RAM 16 GB 1866 MHz DDR3Graphics Card AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB

When I perform an action through Tools/Photoshop/Batch/(action), the new saved file loses its star ratings. If I perform an action by just opening a file in Photoshop and saving it, the star ratings remain. What's going on with Batch, and how do I fix it?I've been using Batch to do various Photoshop actions for years and it's always kept the ratings. Then I updated to 2020. Now ratings disappear.OSX Mojave (10.14.1)Photoshop/Bridge 2020

After update to 2017 on W10 no more thumbnails for Canon mxf files.In other words cannot play any video.Anyone?

So everything was working fine with bridge until yesterday, when I try to preview RAW files (.NEF) the preview has some weird artifacting on it. Thought it was a problem with my graphics card but no other app does it and everything else works just fine. Any clues as to what might be happening? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app twice and it doesnt seem to do anything. Also my computer is new so this problem looks like a software issue.  

My 2012 LATE Mini is running AI CC as just purchased two weeks ago. Mini is running 16 Gigs of RAM and  has a 500 Gig SSD My good friend who uses PS has been after me to downlaodd and install Bridge to help me find files faster than manually scrolling and searching. Can anyone send me a link to the proper version of Bridge since my OS prevents me from simply downloading the version featured on Adobe's site. I use AI and an older version of PS to do repetitive engineering/art projects so my knowledge of AI is very specific and limited. All I wanted to do with Bridge is greatly reduce the time it takes to find old files created in AI w/o having to open the files........most of them done in earlier versions of AI, mostly 5.1 CS and 6 CS...... I want to be sure that I'm installing the correct version of Bridge for my OS. I'm too old and am retired, don't want to have to keep the OS upgraded to the latest and createst from Apple much less Adobe and al of my other appls.&

Can someone please give me a basic discription of what Bridge is and why to use it? I'm a photographer and have read up on it plenty but still unsure why I should consider adding it to my workflow. In the past, I just proof what I want to import into LR and just import the rest.... 

After the completion of a series of AI files I would like to see them as a group. To see how they work as a group Bridge is ideal. However there seems no consistency as to how a file is displayed in Bridge. Same size artboards etc come out differently with different borders etc. Any Ideas?

Hello, Since reinstalling my Mac and install Adobe 2020 - I can''t preview videos in Bridge. I hear the sound, but I only get a blank document in the Preview Pan. Help me out here 🙂

Is is possible to lock rating stars or labels so that any other users can´t delete it? Even when they open and re-save the file?Or is there any other feature that can be locked this way? Most preferably a feature that can be set in bulk and filtered in Bridge.Thanks

Hello forum.Since this morning my RAW previews have suddenly disappeared. I can empty the cache as often as I want, the thumbnails show no more images. Who has an idea what could be going on?Cheers Gerhard P.S. (I'm using Bridge 8.1 / don´t like Version 9)

Hallo. Ich habe seit kurzem das Problem das ich im Adobe Bridge die JPGs nicht mehr nach Farbe und Sternen bewerten kann. woran kann das liegen. Danke Rudi

Hi, we generate tons of illustrations using Illustrator CC, so I started creating a keyword list in Bridge to make searching for stuff easier (the purpose of keywords, of course). I didn't want to get too far in without testing, so I applied a single keyword to an .ai file and searched. No result. It won't find the file. However, if I apply the same keyword to any raster image (.png, .jpg, etc.) it finds the file no problem.  I didn't get any errors when I applied the keyword to the file, and it shows up when I view the Metadata in Bridge. So why won't search find it? Leads me to believe that .ai vector files won't work with keywords. True, or am I just doing something wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Selecting individual PDF files from Bridge with the image processor.Using default setting without changing size just to open PDF and save to JPG.When processing the images are getting distorted according to the last image saved in photoshop and not recognizing the correct size of the PDF.To solve it first I have to open a PDF image and save it in JPG to use the image processor and then it recognizes the size. In other versions of Photoshop this had been fixed. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I work in an office where we are asked to use InDesign 2019 because all of the workstations aren't ready for 2020. My workstation (iMac running OS 10.13.6) downloaded 2020, and as long as I start 2019, my files all open in 2019, so no problem there. But today I discovered that when I select images in Bridge and go to Place in InDesign, it launches 2020, even though I have a file open in 2019. I tried the suggestion in this post:https://community.adobe.com/t5/Bridge/Bridge-2019-gt-Place-in-InDesign-2019-not-working/m-p/10398127#M13281…but it didn't help me. To be sure, I launched Bridge 2019 just in case I had inadvertently started Bridge 2020, but I'm sure that I can't do it from Bridge 2019 either. I could uninstall ID 2020, but I'm hoping there's a solution that I can leave it for when we do all start to use it. Any thoughts?

I installed the update to Bridge.  Now it does not show my desktop files.  Why?  How do I fix this?

After upgrading to version 2020, the ability to set keywords for many files (vectors, jeepegs, etc.) was lost. Now the keywords are not visible in the keywords window. Does anyone else have this problem? And more. Previously, it was possible to roll back to several earlier versions of the program. Now only one step back to the previous version. This is a problem for me, as the convenient function of putting the date "today" in the program is no longer there, but there are in the early versions.

This issue is new and is driving me up the wall!  Any ideas as to how I can resove it?  I am close to dumping Adobe - shame as I have been a user for nearly 20 years!   [Moved from generic Start/Help forum to the specific Program forum...

Wondering if whatever is causing Output from Bridge to create poor quality PDFs  is going to be corrected. Both Bridge2018 and Bridge2019 produce PDFs with dark, grainy images. If I need to create a PDF to show someone some image options, I have to open an old copy of Bridge2017 to produce one that looks good. Image professionals should be able to expect accurate display of their images when using the premium, and most expensive, product on the market.It'd also be nice if someone could get right of the unnecessary "Photoshop CC is busy..." message that sometime appears when you use Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor...And finally, is there any reason you can't paste a file name into the "Save As:" dialog box when using Output to Export to PDF, like you can on any other dialog box on any other application ever created?

In meinem PS 6 Extended ist es leider nich möglich die die  -Mini Bridge- funktion zu öffen.Was ist zu tun?

Has Adobe removed the ability to run batch Photoshop actions from the new version of Bridge?  EDIT: I figured this out. I was using 2020 PS and 2019 Bridge, which don't play well together. I also can't figure out how to just delete this message. 

Updated today, trying to get anything to load - even small thumbnails is absolutely staggeringly slow. Command 3 to add stars to a selected thumbnail - 30 seconds minimum. Nearly impossible to use this way. Fixes?

Photographers and artists... lend me your ear. After reaching out to adobe support for performance issues with Bridge slow and Photoshop converting images to JPG slow, I was told the issue is clearly WINDOWS 7.  Best upgrade to Windows 10. Now I feel like the support person was just ditching my ticket.... (sigh). I am running AMD 8 core 4GHZ with 32GB RAM and SSD drives (different for C / D) as well as a 6GB $300 video card.  And what do I get... SLUGGISH performance... Bridge is now seems even slower with the updated version.  And yes, I am watching the task manager... the system is NOT getting pegged when Bridge is sluggish. Futher Bridge seems to fail to apply changes across all the selected images in the current version... it will miss images in a collection of 100 selected for updates causing me to check images for changes applied across a set. Yes, I did a fresh install of Windows 10 NOT an upgrade. Come on Adobe, we don't need any new

Recently when I try to batch through Bridge using the Tools> Photoshop>Image Processor it will not let me open the first image to apply settings to all of the images I am batching even if the box is checked to do so. It just runs all the images without stopping at the first one.  Any help is appreciated!

Unable to open Illustrator documents through Bridge. All other files open without problems.
