Bridge

Hello,In Bridge, under Tools>InDesign> there is a script called Create InDesign Contact Sheet. This script does not do exactly what I would wish so I would like to  duplicate it and then modify it. But I cannot figure out where it is stored. Any ideas?Thanks,Tom

Hello group. Happy New Year.I'm looking for a script which would perform an action of copying data from the city, state/prov and country fields and adding that data to the description field. I still wish to retain the content in the description field. My stock agency is requesting this be done in order to create a more complete picture caption for web display.Hoping the list can help! ThanksDon

Greetings all. I am having an issue with setting ratings AND labels on image files at the same time. If the script sets the label first then the rating, the label doesn't show in Bridge. If the script sets the rating first then the label, the rating doesn't show in Bridge.Is there a workaround for this? Here is my script function for doing this. file=filename minus extension. Rating is a number for the desired rating. lab is a number for the level of Label I wish to set. Everything works great except that I can't set both Rating and Label with the script as shown. In this instance, only the Ratings will show up in Bridge after running the script. If I move the x.label=Label line under the x.rating=Rating line, then the ratings only show for those images with no label (lab=0). Any image that gets a label receives no rating.If you're going to test this, you may want to comment out the Collections part. That's the part within the "switch(Number(Rating))" block.function setRating(file,Rati

G5/dual/2.0ghz/3gigRAM/OSX10.52/CS2 "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marher type is found." I have a folder of hundreds of images I have collected from the web, all different sources. Using BRIDGE. I opened up various groups of these images from their folder, not the main picture folder, selected ALL, BATCH RENAMED them, for example, "Military000.jpg" Not all of them were jpegs. BRIDGE renamed them accurately as I wanted. But now there are several in each renamed group that will not open in Photoshop as before. I have viewed all of them in Photoshop, or PictViewer, or Acrobat. I know they are not all jpgs, now I want to open them all and save as jpg. I grabbed the free utility FILEINFO, selected all the files, and changed the TYPE and CREATOR names. But Photoshop will not open them either through theOPEN dialogue, double clicking the file, or dragging the file over the icon in the DOCK. What did Bridge do to these files? John R

Is it possible to add additional filters (like File Type) to the FILTER palette of Bridge CS4?Especially I'd like to have filters on specific items in XMP metadata.I've found the CustomSortExtensionHandler.jsx sample in the SDK that uses FilterDescription objects.It seems that these filter objects can be used only on special nodes handled by a Bridge extension and not on any regular file.The app.defaultFilterCriteria that is an array of FilterDescription objects is read-only, according to the Bridge CS4 JavaScript Reference PDF.Does anybody have any hint how to add custom filters or use FilterDescription objects on files?(Originally posted in the wrong forum - Bridge Windows)

Hello,The question is regarding my archives that I need to re-name. Say within a folder I have: IMG_4146.JPG IMG_4147.JPG IMG_4147.CR2 IMG_4147.PSD IMG_4148.JPG IMG_4149.JPG I wish to rename the above as IMG_4146.JPG  becomes 2000.JPG IMG_4147.JPG  becomes 2001.JPG IMG_4147.CR2  becomes 2001.CR2 IMG_4147.PSD  becomes 2001.PSD IMG_4148.JPG  becomes 2002.JPG IMG_4149.JPG  becomes 2003.JPG and so on.. Basically, can I get Bridge to rename all files with the same filename but different extensions, to a new filename which is also the same. As of now I rename all the JPG files in a folder sequentially, and then manually change the filename of the CR2 and PSD files to match to the filename of their JPG versions. Note that every JPG does not have a corresponding CR2 and PSD. Hence I cannot use the sequential filename feature to rename the CR2 and PSD files. Hope I've been clear in explaining what I need. And many thanks in advance for any help

I had to do a system restore only to find on return thatI get a message saying  "Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualiftyjing product has been launched at least once to enable thisfeature"I can open and work on my ORF's via the mini bridge but not the big one, very frustrating. Can anyone help please without me having to reinstall the whole of CS5?Thank you in advance,RonB

I just installed the Photoshop CS5 Production Premium suite on my Win 7 system.I have 8GB RAM, 2.60 GHz processor, 64-bit operating system.Photoshop works fine. However, Bridge does not open. When I click either File>Browse in Bridge, or click the BR icon, I see a momentary spinning circle timer, then nothing. While the little circle is spinning, the red X in the upper right hand corner of the Photoshop window turns gray.I called Adobe and spent nearly two hours with a tech to solve this problem. The solution he came up with is not satisfactory, and I was wondering if anyone else had an idea.We tried to reset Bridge using the CTR while opening Bridge and checking the three options, then restarting Photoshop.We reinstalled Photoshop from the discs.Finally, we set up a new user account on my computer. If I open Photoshop in the second user account, I can open Bridge. However, since all of my thousands of photos are saved in files in my first user account, I cannot save any photos to t

The Bridge CS5 javascript reference manual mentions the workspacesPreLoad as one of a documents type of event objects, and this is where you should load your custom tabbed palette.1. It does not fire for me -- I would like to load my custom flash panel in a workspace like the documentation states2. When a user clicks on a workspace, is there any way to know which workspace was selected by the user?Thanks, T

Hello,I am producing a yearbook where I'm getting the photos from another photographer.  The people in the photos (recruits) are identified by a "proof" number, which associated with their name in the data file.  That proof number is part of the file name of their photo, but only PART of the filename.  I need to rename the files to ONLY contain the proof number.  For example;Name - Joe SmithProof Number - 612017His image has a file name of 00612017-265.I learned that it can't be done in Lightroom but that Bridge has a String Substitution tool.  I was able to use it to remove the initial 00 that is at the beginning of every file name.  However, the last 3 digits change for each file and I can't figure out how to remove them and the dash "-".  Even if I have to run it in 2 batches I'm fine doing that.  It is hundreds of different images every week so manually doing it is a nightmare.  Thanks in advance for your help!Andy

HiI have to deliver thumbnails along with SWFs to an asset management tool. Using Adobe Bridge (CS4) I can see previews of selected SWF files but can't see how to export them. I tried the BridgeExportToJpegCS4 extension which works well for images but got an error for an SWF test file I have. "Error: Could not obtain a valid bitmap to export."I'm not sure I'm using the correct application but open to other suggestions.Any ideas?Also, I'd appreciate if there are any suggestion on how to extract the thumbnails and XMP metadata programmatically.I'm a java developer and hoping I could automate this process for users through an SDK or by calling a utility.Regards,Carmine

Hi,Here is a script that output the keywords in the keywords metadata but dont do the same for the description part. (prompt)addNametoMeta.execute = function(){ var shiftRange = prompt("test", 10); var descript = prompt("Description", 10);  var sels = app.document.selections;   for (var i = 0; i < sels.length; i++){ var md = sels.synchronousMetadata;     md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";     var Name = decodeURI(sels.name).replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');    md.Keywords = md.Keywords + ";" + shiftRange  + ";" +  Name; md.description[0]  = md.description[0]  + shiftRange +  descript;  } }

I'm looking for a script that will recursively crawl through a folder and stack all images with the same name (minus extension,) so that any metadata that gets entered by a user will be applied to both raw and jpg files. Our photographers are in the habit of providing low res jpgs with the raw files. Then, our designers will rate and keyword the jpgs in Bridge. Trouble is, when the time comes to retreive the image, a keyword search only brings up the low res version when it should bring up both. I'm not sure the "Process Collections" script will help, because the low res versions are made much later than the photos were taken.

Hey folks,I have been using this applescript to add keywords to a .tif file, and I want to expand the workflow to include Illustrator files. Problem is, the keywords that the script adds to an Illustrator file are not visible in Bridge! If I call up the exif metadata, the Keywords field contains the correct information, but any keywords I've added in Bridge are located under the "Subject" and "Heirarchical Subject" fields. I'd assumed that .ai files' metadata was organized in the same way as a .tif file, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Thoughts?--* IMAGE TAGGING* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * -- takes a list of keywords and a POSIX path to an image. Then it appends the EXIF keywords to the image--it also eliminates duplicate keywords--requires the exif tool, available at http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/index.htmlon TagThisImage(thisImage, theseKeywords)      &

Error 2 Photoshop is undefinedLine: 1->  photoshop.invokeBridge (false, false, '');I always get this error whenever I would try to open my bridge. And for some reason I can't even find bridge icon, I probably accedentally deleted it. But is there anything I can do to fix this problem? I tried to download and install CS 5 Bridge update wouldn't help at all. PLZ HELP!!!!!!!

Hi all,Hope someone can help here.  We just added this Photoshop extention:  Enhanced Image Processor by Manovi to our Photoshop CS4's Presets/Scripts folder.  Here's my problem.  The new image processor opens and runs great - in Photoshop.  But when I'm in Bridge CS4 and choose Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor it opens/uses the old script.  Does Bridge cache this kind of thing or what's going on. How can I get Bridge to use the new image processor?  (note:  Old script was replaced by new one in Photoshop's preset/scripts folder - the old one is no longer there - although we did save a copy of it elsewhere)Thanks

I have a requirement to mass upload and download keywords and various metadata fields (i.e. File Name, Date Created, City, Country, Document, Title, etc.) into an external database from the Adobe Bridge. Ideally it would be compatible to .txt, .csv, etc type of database format. Currently I have to accomplish this task one at a time. I have an immediate need to upload 1000 plus pictures and various text fields into my website to share with others and be able to sell my pictures online. My immediate is for exporting the metadata and keywords. Does anyone know of a script that is aavailable? Arnold

Can someone help me??? Bridge CS5 will only add the metadata I enter to the files it feels like doing. It is hit and miss. Some files will add it, and other files will get the message "There was an error writing metadata to 100824_Banks_06.NEF". It will go through my whole folder of RAW files, then other times it will allow one or two of the files to get the information. I am going crazy! Is this a preference setting issue, or what?

Hello there!Is there a script that instructs Bridge to email an alert or similar when an item is put into a certain location?For example:A new piece of work is dropped in a folder marked 'REPRO WORKFLOW' on a server. An email is then fired off to a specific user(s) informing them of this.Anyone have any ideas?Thanks in advance,ATG Dan
