Bridge

Hi every one.I had created a tool for InDesign CS6 written using Javascript to manipulate portions of text in nested way by marking them with small non-printing small anchored text frames contains sequenced numbers and storing these portions as snippets in a spicific folder beside the InDesign documents.This tool is open source and free of charge, the only this that I want from you (after downloading) as a user to feedback and as a developer to improve it and join me.sourceforge.net/projects/livesnippetsMy question is not about this but I want to trace when the user rename, move, copy or delete a file of these snippets or any container folder and interact according to that by reserving the links between snippet files and their instances which interspersed in InDesign documents.Thanks.

main();function main () {    var myMenu = MenuElement.find("BatchRename");    myMenu.onSelect = function () {        alert (myMenu.id);    }}Could anyone tell me why this snippet doesn't work.Thanks.

I am creating a script to only select RGB Files. I am having problems with the Array because affter I am done its empty.I was hoping to make a list of RGB files and then select them, But I have not been able to create a list yet.#target bridgeapp.document.deselectAll();var thumbs = app.document.getSelection("jpg");for(var a in thumbs){var RGBlist=[];var poop=app.document.select(app.document.thumbnail.children) ;var isRGB=app.document.selections[0].core.quickMetadata.colorMode;var picSelect=app.document.selections[0];if(isRGB==3){    RGBlist.push(picSelect.name);     } var noSelect=app.document.deselect(app.document.thumbnail.children);alert(RGBlist);}Any Ideas?

I have a javacript to help batch process collections of images in Bridge by sending them (in layers) to Photoshop CS5. It works perfectly, except it stops running after about ten minutes (around 6-10 images) so that I have to keep restarting the script. This behaviour has only started since the script was installed in the Bridge startup folder so that it could be started from the (right click) menu. The script does not seem to time out when run via ExtendToolkit. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Is there an easy way to find the color mode of a thumbnail? I was wondering if label would work. I am guessing I am going to have to go through the metatdata but I was not sure. Thanks.

I am trying this but its not working.var bt = new BridgeTalk; bt.target = "photoshop-12.0"; var crud="try{doAction('2012 Design BW','Design' );}catch(e){}"; bt.body =crud; bt.send();photoshop works but when I try and version it. Nothing happens.

Hi allI´ve written a script to add 3 buttons to a top navbar. Running from Extended Script works perfectlly. However when adding this script to Bridge´s startup folder (to run it one Bridge opens)..then I get an erro. This could be because a script should wait until the loader finishes. But how I could tell Bridge to run this script after Bridge completes loading the panels???Here´s the code:var b = app.document.navbars.filesystem.bottom;b.height = 50;b.visible = true; var b1 = b.add ("button",[0,0,0,0],"Button 1...");b1.size = [200,30];b1.location = [10,10]; var b2 = b.add ("button",[0,0,0,0], "Button 2...");b2.size = [200,30];b2.location = [230,10]; var b3 = b.add ("button",[0,0,0,0], "Button 3...");b3.size = [200,30];b3.location = [450,10];---Best RegardsGustavo.

I have a droplet on my desktop. I was thinking of copying the file to the droplet. I have to inspect the name of each file before the action gets run. If it meets certain critirea. Then I need to run the action on that pic. Or thumbnail. Thanks in advanced for any words of wisdom. Is there a guide for Bridge JS?

I am wondering if there is a way to rename & copy a single image multiple times using a list of predetermined names (Linking to an XML or TXT document for the list of new file names).

My problem is this, I converted a couple ov Vectors to .ai to assign keywords to it. But Bridge keeps telling me that it can't write Metadata to the files.Can anyone please help with this?I've got all the updates for Bridge and I've tried clearing the Cache. Still no luck

Any thoughts of possibility to bring keywords count number to keywords panel or may be other panel? I'd like to try coding part if I get right direction

Dose file.changePath (".."); move the file to a new location? I want to move files and was wondering what function I should use. Thanks.

I have had good luck exporting file metadata with JavaSCript so far, but there are two properties that keep returning "undefined"; photoshop:ColorMode and photoshop:ICCProfile.Other photoshop properties export just fine, but nothing I've tried works for these two. I thought it might be because they are "internal" properties, but I am able to export other "internal" properties, such as exif xResolution.var cm= xmpData.getProperty (XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "ColorMode");if (cm !== undefined){dataExport.write ('\t' + cm);}else{dataExport.write ('\t');var icc= xmpData.getProperty (XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "ICCProfile");if (icc !== undefined){dataExport.write ('\t' + icc);}else{dataExport.write ('\t');}Thanks,Greg Reser

Fulltime student and a new cloud member. Having problems with first project. I can't nor can the instructor figure out why I'm not able to rate and label files in Bridge CS6.

Hello,Can someone please help me on why the script is crashing on the createThumbnails().run(); line because i am pretty new to this.Thanks!#target bridgefunction createThumbnails(){    try    {        this.requiredContext = "\tExecute against Bridge main engine.\nBridge must be running.";        $.level = 1; // Debugging level        this.panelRef = null;        //alert(arguments[0]);        Folder("c:\\temp\\centraliser").create();        var loc = new Thumbnail(Folder("/C"));        loc.open();        this.t = new Thumbnail(File("/c/temp/aaa/BIB2.ai"));        app.document.select(this.t);     }    catch(e) {&n

Is there a way to share my ratings and labels that I made in Bridge with other people?I usually work with my editor, we both have all the clips on our computers (we work in different places).What I'd like to do is to give him all the ratings and labels I've done in Bridge without sending him all the files again.Can I do something like this, maybe using some script?Thank youStefano

I have 8500 video files that I have tagged with multiple keywords.  These are all AVI so the file cannot store metadata.I want to preserve a backup of the metadata in xmp sidecars for safety (backup, future proofing, sharing).File Info/Export seems to do the trick but only works on single files (if you multi-select, export is disabled).Has anyone written a script to exactly mimic this Export feature but for multiple files??  I have both CS5.5 and CS6.I have seen some that export custom schema but I want something that is standardized.  I like how the export function writes both hierarchical and flat keyword trees for example.Thanks!Mark.

I want to know if the folder I have selected in bridge can be identified as the folder selected?Like if(00318-000.selected==true){//then do something) something to that nature. I can test if a volume var myMacHotFolder=(Folder(["/Volumes/Hotfolders/OdystarHotfolder/eDesign"]).exists);What I want to know is can it be identified as being selected in Bridge? Then I want to get the name of it.

The "CS6 Tools Guide" document shows no changes in how graphical settings should be used for Foreground Colour, Background Colour, Fonts and Font Size, as well as the use of Images in panels.  All these work as before with scripts used in Photoshop CS6.  But with Bridge CS6 the use of an image will crash Bridge, whereas the settings for Colours and Fonts are just ignored.  Does Bridge CS6 now have customised settings for graphical changes to panels?  Or is this a bug?

Hi, I rank all my jpg file in bridge (Because, I prefer rank file with all effect apply) and after, I want to apply the same ranking to my associated raw filename.  I use the filter on the left to select only jpg file, but, I'm not able to select corresponding raw file.  Is there a way to select corresponding raw file using the current selection of jpg file ?  Right after, I will be able to rank everything easily.   Thank you for you help.

I am wondering if anyone has had this experience. My UI is working on the mac side in both CS4 and CS5. But when I am running it in CS4 on the PC side windows XP the text does not show up. I am going to include a little snippet. Thanksvar myIDinfo=new Window ("palette", "Image Calculator");    myIDinfo.graphics.backgroundColor = myIDinfo.graphics.newBrush (myIDinfo.graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.7255, 0.1020, 0],.5);    myIDinfo.margins = 12;    var myBoarder=myIDinfo.add("group");    myBoarder.graphics.backgroundColor = myBoarder.graphics.newBrush (myBoarder.graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.55, 0.7, 0.3],.5);    myBoarder.margins = 3;    var myPanel=myBoarder.add("group");    myPanel.alignChildren = "right";    myPanel.size = [200,200];        var myGraph=myPanel.add('image', undefined, myImage);    myPanel.graphics.

Hi all,I have been looking for a script to run and export metadata from the video field (e.g res, shot name, file name, tape name, take etc) but cannot find anything. Can someone please help? We want to export a CSV, spreadsheet etc of all our material so we can archive it... I would be very grateful if someone could help us out!ThanksCosta

I want to have a new pallete window on my bridge and the SnpCreateTabbedPaletteScriptUI script from SDK samples helped.But only when I try it from running from Extendedscript Toolkit CS5.When I put it on running from Bridge startup scripts, it doesn't work anymore.I guess it has to do with the windows7 itself??? But I don't know.I'm running as administrator.The SnpCreateTabbedPaletteScriptUI code:////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ADOBE SYSTEMS INCORPORATED// Copyright 2008 Adobe Systems Incorporated// All Rights Reserved//// NOTICE:  Adobe permits you to use, modify, and distribute this file in accordance with the// terms of the Adobe license agreement accompanying it.  If you have received this file from a// source other than Adobe, then your use, modification, or distribution of it requires the prior// written permission of Adobe.//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////** @fileoverview Shows

Hi,Is it possible to communicate between Adobe Bridge and a third party application using Bridge SDK?I want to learn how Bridge can communicate with other application? Bridge SDK have samples that explain how Bridge communicates with other Adobe applications like Photoshop and Indesign. Can anyone guide me or provide me a sample where Bridge communicates with a third party application?Thanks.

I am creating a text file that will tally information from a UI. My hope is that I can add information as buttons are clicked. But when I write to the text file it over writes what is already there.  myFile.writeln("\r\n",mySFolder,"   ",myCountText.text, );I am wondering how to append to the text file.
