Bridge

I'm photographing with manual lenses that do not transmit exif data about lens type, focal length and aperture. I was looking for a Bridge addon that allows me to add this information, but found nothing. Is it possible to change this field with a Bridge script? I've read the documentation and found no evidence that it isn't allowed, but I've read on another site that it's impossible to change this kind of fields. Can anybody shed some light on this? If it's generally possible I would write such a script.

Hello, With Bridge CC for Mac, in the UI, the scrollbar which come with edittext and multiline option, is not active.The scrollbar on the right appears by typing text or ENTER, but not by scripting.Any idea? Thanks#target bridgevar textgen = new Array();for (var r = 0; r < 15; r++) {    textgen = ("line "+r);    }var generatedtext = (textgen.join('\n'));  var win2 = new Window("dialog", undefined, [0,0,200,200], ); // UI with(win2){         win2.eText = add( "edittext", [5,45,140,175], generatedtext, {multiline: true, scrolling: true} ); // problem here with Bridge CC Mac    win2.retour = add( "button", [150,5,195,32], "Close" );    }win2.retour.onClick = function() {win2.close();};win2.center();win2.show();

Can anyone shed some light at a following problem.I have a UI that will be displayed in Bridge, part of it is a file preview of an image. Everything works well when I run it in ESTK, but when Bridge is targeted, I get a blank frame.Yes all my images are jpg.Code is as simple as:var myNewFile = "~/Desktop/temp/mytestfile.jpg";  var w = new Window ("palette", "Thumbnail");var thumbnail = w.add ("image",undefined, myNewFile);w.show();

Many other Adobe products are moving to HTML5-based panels (http://blogs.adobe.com/cssdk/2013/09/introducing-html5-extensions.html), is there any way to find out if Bridge will do this too?Thanks

I process multiple image galleries of 100-125 images on a daily basis using Bridge, and I add keywords to these images which then get converted to Wordpress tags when uploaded to my site. What I also want to do is add meaningful 'Description' (alt/text) to my images using the keywords I already have for the images.For example, let's say I have 3 images in a gallery titled - 'X-Men Movie Premiere'.Image001.jpg has keywords Hugh Jackman, Bryan SIngerImage002.jpg has keywords Hugh Jackman, Bryan SInger, Jennifer LawrenceImage003.jpg has keyword Jennifer LawrenceI want to be able to run a script that takes the keywords and append it to the gallery title or a customized text and make it the 'Description' for the image. So in this case, Customized Text = "at the X-Men Premiere"Image001.jpg should have description Hugh Jackman, Bryan SInger at the X-Men PremiereImage002.jpg should have description Hugh Jackman, Bryan SInger, Jennifer Lawrence at the X-Men PremiereImage003.jpg should have desc

Hello, I'm trying to find a way to sort photos in Bridge  by a specific metatdata field - SOURCE. Does anyone know if there is a script for this, or if it's possible to make one? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there,I'm new to Bridge CC and I'm looking at helping a photographer friend streamline his time consuming manual process.He currently has a folder containing many sub-folders which each contain 6 images.He works his way through each sub-folder selecting all 6 images and clicking the pdf generation button on the Output panel to generate a contact sheet using a custom template including a footer and watermark.I think I can manage looping through the folders but I'm unsure on how to start the pdf generation or apply the template and can't see anything about this in the SDK documentation.Does anyone have any pointers? Links to useful resources or code snippets would also be great?Thanks in advance

Hi, I’m very happy to use Adobe Bridge and I think that is a great tool, and I will thank you for that. I have thousands of images in my computer and for a great number of that I already have a lot of information in the metadata… I know how to demand information, I know how to search inside, but I need to know if I can import all this information in a different software …. Something like excel or access….For example: I need to put in a database all images that are made for a client, and I need to see all the information for each image in the same table, also I need to print all this information…please teach me how to do thatThank you

I have a need to sort color images by contrast. I find this task more efficient when looking at a BW version of the color image. Can a BW work space be created through scripting? Is there a way to turn the thumbnail view into BW in Bridge?

Hi folks,I'm just trying to write a little jsx script for Bridge CS6. How can I implement an event handler that will react if the user adds a new thumbnail (new file) to the current folder in bridge. I've tested it with this code, but it doesn't work:app.document.thumbnail.watch ("children", function(id, oldVal, newVal) {     $.writeln (oldVal + " to " + newVal);     // some code here});Thanks. Greetings

Hi,I've posted this in general discussions but no luck, I was told I might get better help here so here goes:I'm playing with a bridgetalk script to pass just one argument back and forth between PS and AI all run from Bridge, this in the future will be a key driver to the main script, I have all the components of PS scripts and AI scripts ready, now working on the workflow order. Due to asynchronous behavior I have to do it in this manner. Basically Bridge selects multiple folders containing multiple files and based on the type sends it either to AI or PS for processing then comes back goes to the next file and so on. I want it to process only one file at a time, raise the counter by one return it as a result and onResult continue on with a main function.The script I'm testing does it until the counter =10Here it is:It all works fine, but WHY am I getting time delays so different to each other. One time script will take 3 seconds, other times over a minute and it's not even performing

What event is triggered when I update an image's metadata? I want to automate a process that should occur when I rate/reject an image.Thanks in advance.

Hi, Someone once showed me a script for being able to select multiple images while looking at them in the bridge and making grid layouts on pages from them. Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks!

Hi everyone,Since im very new to scripting... i m requesting your help to fix this issue..My need is to export the indesign page as jpg and then open the jpgs' in photoshop and save as psd.I tried to the below script... indesign page exported as jpg, but the exported jpg is not opened in photoshop.please help me on this....Main();function Main() { var result=CreateBridgeTalkMessage(); var myOutFolderPathName = "C:\\Users\\Unique\\Desktop\\JPG\\"; doc_name = app.activeDocument.name.split(".indd")[0];myPDFFilePath = myOutFolderPathName+"\\"+(doc_name) +'.jpg';app.activeDocument.exportFile (ExportFormat.JPG, myPDFFilePath, false );     function CreateBridgeTalkMessage() {          var bt = new BridgeTalk();        var re;        bt.target = "photoshop";        bt.body = openFile.toString();       &nbs

On ESTK, running over Bridge CS6, this fives me a function:$.writeln(app.document.keywordsManager.renameKeyword)I get on console:function renameKeyword() {    [native code]}How can I get the native code of that function?I do not know how the arguments are organized and how it can be used.I can also get my active key words like this:app.document.keywordsManager.serializeToXML()and I have also other functions I would like to test how to use, likeaddKeyword(??), renameKeyword(??), deleteKeyword(??)

I have looked around and have had no luck finding anything similar to what I would like to do. I am trying to batch rename sets of bracketed photos with something similar to the following:Scene-Bracket001-01001-02001-03002-01002-02002-03003-01003-02003-03I would like the scene number to just be a sequence followed by a sequence for the 3 bracketed imagesI am currently only taking brackets of 3 which should make this somewhat more simple. I have tried to write my own script by deconstructing others but I don't really know what I am doing and have not had any luck.If there is anything similar out there that you could point me towards it would be helpful.Thanks.

I'm looking for a script that will copy the filenames of files selected in Bridge CC to the clipboard. Does anyone have one?I did read an old post that referred to one and had a script - but it gave an error, and I think it must have been for an older version of Bridge. Also, it didn't include the file extension, which I would want to do.Thanks!G

First week or so of using Bridge CS6 all went well, now having lots of slow downs/freezes/delays that eventually clear up (when browsing a folder of files). Once I'm able to open a file in ACR performance is fine, but this is making Bridge unsuable for workflow. Is this a known problem and is a fix coming?JW

Hi AllI'm trying to find a way to change the selection in the content pane from the current thumbnail to the next thumbnail. I've had a look through the bridge referance and guide but couldn't find any clues. Does anyone know if this is possible and how I might go about it?Thanks

Sometimes I find it useful to have two or more Bridge windows open at once. I havent been able to figure out how to save such a configuration or load. The only way it seems is to open the first Workspace, then create the other one(s). Then do it all over again if (when) Bridge crashes.Is there a way to open and save multiple Workspace windows at once? I'm using Bridge CS4 on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8.

Is there a script which will add the 'Date Created' (DD/MM/YYYY) to the IPTC Headline, including a space at the beginning of the date? For example, a photo with the IPTC Headline "Football" would become "Football DD/MM/YYYY". Thanks.

Hi ! I have this script that works flawlessly but when i execute it on big video files ( > 1GB) bridge doesn't repaint and it looks like it's stuck. I would like to have a progress bar showing % remaining on the task and the name of the file being treated. Can someone point me into the right direction as my adobe scripting knowledge is not that great. #target bridge   if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {  descToTitle = MenuElement.create("command", "Log Comment to Description", "at the end of Tools");}descToTitle.onSelect = function () {            if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");                      var thumb = app.document.selections;           for(var s in thumb){     &nbs

Would is be possible to write a custom manual bridge sort file (hidden file)?The  idea would be able take a list of jpegs in a specific order and get  Bridge to to sort them according to the order on the list via preserved filename metadata.  Say an ordered list of images for an animated sequence?Any advice and or a script would be great!Thanks!
