Bridge

I have over 230,000 photos on my hard drive. They are placed in hundreds of different folders which are all collectively located in a single folder called Pictures. My grandchildren are in their own folders. Our vacations are all in separate folders. etc, ect.I'm aware of how to locate a photo by keyword after I've selected a specific folder in Bridge. Bridge has been used to assign keywords to all of the photos of people in my collection. Each person's name is a keyword. My wife is named Larisa and that is the keyword I have assigned her in Bridge. Photos of her will probably be found in 40 - 50 different folders. Is there a way to assign Bridge to search through all of the folders in this collective Picture folder and locate and display, all the photos of "larisa"? If this is possible, then could I instruct Bridge to locate all photos of Larisa on the entire hard drive?

I have seen this commented on before but it was no help. I have the latest version of Adobe Bridge with the creative suite. I have it on 2 computers.On the 2nd computer it will not work anymore. It says building criteria and it stays stuck on that. I have uninstalled it, I have deleted the cache and preferences. Nothing works. Has anyone had this happen? If so please let me know the solution. I would love to be able to see my photos again.

I am using an external drive that has all my photos attached to an iMac with the latest version of Bridge .  I am also accessing that drive using a MacBookPro with the same version of Bridge via the network (attaching to the iMac ). If I use either Mac to add metadata to a photo it will show up on either Mac.  However if I add a label or rating to a photo on one Mac and then view photo from the other Mac the label nor rating will appear.  All the other data that is shown in the columns appear ok, it's just the labels and ratings.  Is this not part of the metadata and stays with the photo or are these 2 things unique to the copy of Bridge?ThanksI think I found part of the answer with the "Refresh" option.  Now the same issue but with a folder, can't get the "Refresh" to do anything.  I want to make folders that are in various stages of work and be able to see from the label where I am when using either computer.Message was edited by: Frank Barnes

Every single thumbnail that I select, opens up in its corresponding adobe App. I am trying to select multiple thumbnails and put them into review mode. This is something that I've done a million times.  Help?

Wenn ich in Adobe Bridge CC 2018 ein Foto auswähle und dann auf die Option "In CameraRAW öffnen" klicke hängt sich das Programm auf, bzw. es stürzt ab und ein Absturzbericht wird generiert, den ich schon einige Male rausgeschickt habe.Wo liegt das Problem ?GrüßeSebastian Krüger

With no dark mode support that white window bar looks so distracting!

I've just noticed this - the images were fine when I uploaded them and there was no odd rotation.  Not sure what has happened?  but I'm losing part of the image and can't work out how to get it back.  I'm using Adobe Bridge CC 2018 - Version 8.1.0.383

Hi all,With the new Bridge update I noticed the thumbnails are quite a bit smaller because of the new bordered placeholders.  I usually have it scaled way down so the change is quite noticeable and kind of makes it harder to compare images.  Is there a setting that I'm missing that can change this back?   Thank you!!

Using Bridge to help sort and categorise large quantity of files mainly videos mp4's.The only issue I have is that Bridge creates audio cache files on boot drive (Adobe/Common/Media Cache Files), it seems to ignore preferences to located them on seperate drive. Is there a way to specify an external drive for video audio cache (.cfa) files?Bridge preferences seems only to allow thumbnail cache location.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

We've recently upgraded our file server here to High Sierra with APFS. Folder cruising used to work beautifully on all our iMacs and MacBooks connecting to the server, however now the dropdown lists appear in some arbitrary order rather than alphabetically. The Sort menu items no longer seem to affect Folder Cruising either.I see others have had problems with this for years, using windows shares etc and other versions of Bridge. Curious to know why this suddenly breaks now for us, and if anything can be done with it?Server is Late 2014 Mac mini running macOS 10.13.1Various iMacs and MacBooks mostly running Sierra 10.12.6 and Bridge 8.0.0.262Cheers

Most recent scenario: Return from vacation, download 100GB of video, RAW, and JPG photos (bridge PhotoDownloader), browse a couple (presumed LARGE) folders, and the next day "DISC NOT EJECTED PROPERLY"Too much troubleshooting to explain everything but is anyone else seeing this? Last year when this started, I ended up with 3 of 5 HDDs corrupt in like 2 weeks. Now left with 1 brand new G-Tech usb drive (2GB of6GB used) and the problem is back.LOST: multiple SSD drive's in (USB) DOCKLOST: LACIE 2BIG (thunderbolt) 6TB (2x 3TB seagate from HDD crisis) ie Backblaze lawsuitLOST: SEAGATE 3TB MEDIA CENTRAL (Ethernet)GTECH 2TB time capsule also wouldn't mount during this time but was being used for photo access in BridgeSymptom starts will "Disk Not Ejected Properly" notification, however files appear to be fine, until one day the Disc just won't mount and everything is gone. APPLE believes it is ADOBE issue, and wants me to "USE" my Mac without Adobe products, but the only thing I use my iMac

Hello,I have a special SSD just to hold Cache Files and wanted to change / move cache directory to that SSD.So, I change in all CC2018 Products the Standard Path "C:\Users\mhess\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files" to this SSD.-> No effect, System builds the cache files in the old directory (at least for Bridge CC 2018)

In windows 7,  Bridge CC 2017 (7.0.0.93),When I use a normal panel window , it works OK, but when I use checkboxes on app.document.navbars.filesystem.top or app.document.navbars.filesystem.bottomthey are simply invisible and/or don't render correctly.Yes, my team is still using CC2014 and Bridge 6.2.0.179 because this doesn't work on our panels in bridge.The value still can be retrieved and is working when I click it, but the checkbox is 'invisible' and it doesn't show up or refreshes.

I have a bunch of files which have no Date Stamps anywhere in the metadata. The file system holds the Date Created and Date File Modified and I want to move those dates to IPTC fields. How do I script the pulling of dates from the file system and placing them into IPTC?

I am using Adobe Bridge CC 2018, latest update as of 1 March, 2018:I am unable to edit my metadata on .mts files.  I have tried purging the cache but just can't get those little pencils on the right indicating I can edit the files.  Have spent hours trying to figure it out with no success. Any suggestions?Also my date created dates have changed and are not the dates the files were actually created.  How can I fix this?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Mike Whitehouse

Hi guys,I use Adobe Bridge on my new workstation and I need to copy the file's data of a huge mass of photosfrom 'File Properties / Data Created' to 'Camera Data (Exif) / Data Time Original'.Can anyone help me?Thank you in advance

I've got images from three different cameras. The time/date stamp is off by a few minutes. i'm looking for a script that will change the time in a batch.(500 images) thanks for any help, Julia v

If multiple users of Bridge access the same image database, are the Keywords selected on images by each user, common for all users. Or does each user have to allocate their own Keywords. I hope this is not a silly question.

After updating to Bridge CC 2018, I'm very surprised to find that the File Info panel has been changed (downgraded?) to the one that previously was in Photoshop. I now find that:- I can't find an autocomplete option, so I have to type the same info again and again for images with the the same basic subject and description.- I have to select the template to use EVERY TIME I open the panel.Is there something I'm missing here? I heven't been able to find any options or preferences to avoid this.Thanks.

We have a shared network in our office which hosts about 2TB of images. We are trying to set up a system so I can tag the images with keywords so our designers can easily search for the images they need. However, it is taking HOURS to do one images search. Is this simply because we have so many files? Or is it because it's on a shared network? Is there a way to load the metadata FIRST, so Bridge doesn't have to load all the thumbnails before finding the tagged images? Thanks for your help! We are using Adobe CS6.

I was looking into using Bridge across a network so that images can be quickly searched using keywords by multiple users of that network. I have since come across multiple threads stating that bridge is not suitable for use across a network as the XML data is stored to the local cache. Does this mean that if you move your files to another machine you can't see the metadata as it's stored in the cache of the old machine? Is there any way of saving this metadata to the actual files so that if a file were to be moved the metadata is moved along with it. If I were to add metadata to files in Adobe Illustrator for example would this show up in Bridge?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A few month ago after an Creative Cloud update, all my drop down folder previews lost there alphabetical organization. Making it pain to get to where I need to go quickly. I'm able to sort the content windows perfectly fine, this just effects the explorer bar, when I preview a folders contents. Please help! Image example below:

I was wondering what was the best way in setting up Bridge CS4 on a network (12 to 24 workstations). I don't want each computer to have to load the thumbnails from my image bank (around 70,000 images). I know there is an option to build and export cache inside my image bank folders. But is there a way I could have a central cache that all the computers could read from? If so could it be updated as soon as we add another folder of pictures?As an extra question, is there a way to export smart collections other than manually?Thanks for your time

I'm using Adobe Bridge CC 2018 on a late 2013 17" iMac running MacOS High Sierra and have been using Bridge the past few days with no issue. Last night, I selected images in Bridge and opened them in Camera Raw. I was editing last night with no issues. I put my display to sleep, and then this afternoon I turned the display on again to continue working. Bridge wouldn't respond to my clicking on folders or images and wouldn't quit. I Force Quit it (it wasn't listed as not responding in the Force Quit window) and rebooted Bridge. Bridge bounced in my finder as if it was opening, but then stopped bouncing and wouldn't appear on the screen. I tried opening it via the Applications menu instead of the finder bar at the bottom of my screen, still wouldn't open. I check in Force Quit and it says Bridge is open and running but it isn't. I Force Quit it and tried again, still won't open. I uninstalled and reinstalled, still won't open. I found a thread saying to change the "read and write" in pre
