Bridge

I have been using Bridge for years and have about 80K items keyworded.  I upgraded to Bridge 2018 when it became available and my computer started getting really really slow.  So, thinking it was the PC, we wiped it and started fresh.I have a super-fast Alien computer and slowness has never been an issue.  After reloaded Bridge 2018, the program is still really really slow.  I have been working on cleaning up files and today it just stopped and froze.  I couldn't even get to task manager to shut it down and was forced to just turn off the computer.  After rebooting, everything was fine until I tried to search on keywords.  It CTRL+F (find) did not recognize or list the folders so I manually chose them.  It immediately comes back "not found".  I've tried filenames, keywords, different folders, etc.  Nothing.  It doesn't even activate the spinning to index the files.  I'm only searching on one criteria as well.  I then unin

Hello There,I've been using Bridge for some years now and cannot function without it because it's amazing and incredibly useful. With the last 2 updates I can no longer use the "Move To" function. Every time I do Bridge becomes unresponsive, requires a force quit and activity monitor 'end task'. It happens when I drag and drop a file to move it or when I right click and select 'move to'.

Updated Bridge yesterday along with other CC apps on fully updated Win7 PC, opting to not transfer preferences.When I go to Edit, Preferences, Cache and try to change the cache location to a dedicated K: scratch drive, it appears that no disk drives are shown.Previously the solution was to hunt for e.g. 'Computer' or 'This PC' and expand to see the other drives*.However on this PC, all I see as a 'tree' is [Desktop] then just [Admin] below and to the right. When I expand [Admin], I do not see e.g. 'Computer' so cannot browse to other drives.As there is no manual way to enter a drive letter and folder, this is a problem.Any ideas?Thanks*Weirdly, on a Win7 laptop that was also updated (but with the option to transfer preferences accepted) I can see 'Computer' down the tree - at the top is [Desktop] and then beneath [User1] I can see and navigate to [Computer].So, the question is why the tree on the PC seems truncated/limited (when Windows Explorer works perfectly and can show all drives)

I'm stuck with my first Bridge CC 8.0 CEP extension. I'm trying to create an event handler that will trigger in the main.js when a user selects a new thumbnail in the content window and call a function in the extendscript. I've tried a few different options with the following code but nothing appears to work. Thanks for any advice.var csInterface = new CSInterface();csInterface.addEventListener(document.open,function(e){alert("thumbnail selected!");});

Is there a script to batch import IPTC metadata for Headline, Description and Keywords into a set of images in Bridge CS5 ? I can produce the data as a text file (tab delimited) or an Excel file. In 2012 there was a similar discussion with links to various scripts, but none of these links works (Error 404 - page not found etc.)Thanks, Angelo

I updated Camera Raw and installed version 9.8 several times, however, Camera Raw still is not reading my RAW files. I am currently using CS6.Please help me!Thank you!

I just had to re-install my Photoshop CS4 and Bridge programs onto a new computer because my old one crashed.  Now Bridge won't read my CR2 files (my camera is a Canon 5D Mark II).  In Bridge it just shows me a small thumbnail but won't show the actual picture. When I try to open a file to edit, it says "could not complete request because it is not the right kind of document".  I wasn't having any trouble on my old system so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong?

Background to this post here: Re: Keywords and Subkeywords DisplayI can’t script, however I can sometimes hack them. The more that I look into this, it is harder than I originally expected from say hacking a description to title script.Would like to hack an existing Bridge script to copy the lr:hierarchicalSubject metadata to the standard subject/keyword metadata.Source: <lr:hierarchicalSubject>            <rdf:Bag>               <rdf:li>Corleone</rdf:li>               <rdf:li>Corleone|Don Vito</rdf:li>            </rdf:Bag> </lr:hierarchicalSubject>Result:<dc:subject>            <rdf:Bag>      &nb

Up to Bridge 2017 I could go to Tools > Image Processor and batch resize, rename, etc. The new Bridge (cc 2018) the  Image Processor is gone, in fact the Tools> Photoshop path that various tutorials recommend to get to Image Processor for these tasks isn't there either.  I do have  Tools> Process collections in Photoshop, but I have no idea what it is supposed to do and there is no explanation online that I can find.This isn't solved and I see queries darting back two-plus years.

Hi there ,this might be a silly question, but I have just downloaded the 2018 version of Bridge and I am trying to stitch together photos to make a panorama.  In the tools tab, there is no option to pick photoshop and therefore the next screen doesn't come up.Is there another way to do this? Or do I have to go to the 2017 version.??Help would be appreciated.

I'm new to Bridge so please be patient if this is a basic question.  I initially set up my photos with a hierarchy of keywords and subkeywords.  In my case the Keywords are surnames with subkeywords for each individual person with that surname.  Not I am seeing all of the subkeywords (individual people) listed in alphabetical order only.  I am not seeing the Keywords (surnames) listed alphabetically with Subkeywords as "subfolders" under them.  Can anyone help?  Do I just have something set incorrectly in View?  (The display was correct until I had to reload Bridge after a hard drive crash.)  Thanks.

Hi,I am using the latest version of bridge CC, and when I select an image, it disappears or moves and I cannot find it. Also, if I am down the list of files, it will move me up to the beginning repeatedly.I have downgraded, reinstalled, restarted, cleared the cache... tried everything I can think of.I use bridge all day to find files and this is beyond frustrating!It also freezes quite often.thanksAlix

In Bridge, I click on the Adobe Portfolio logo, but it doesn't connect on the Adobe Portfolio service.What am I missing?

As a long-time (10+ y.) user of Photoshop and Bridge, I have become acutely aware of some limitations of its search capabilities, and would like to discuss these issues with a knowledgeable member of Adobe's team. Have looked around at Adobe.com, hoping to start a chat dialog, but that effort has not succeeded. If one of you could point me in the right direction (perhaps give me an eMail address?), I would be grateful.Best,jwc

I'm writing a replacement JPEG export panel for Bridge, and currently working on copying metadata. I have it working for any source format with embedded metadata using the testing code stub below. But this doesn't work with RAW files, presumably due to using XMP sidecars. Note that the "SnpInspectMetadata.jsx" sample included in the Bridge CC SDK also fails, in fact it throws an exception when trying to run new XMPFile().So how do I get metadata from RAW files? Do I have to test for sidecars? Looking at one with a text editor, there are lots of extra fields.My script works otherwise to export JPEG files, and copies metadata from image formats other than RAW.this.run = JPEGExport();function JPEGExport(){            var thumbs = app.document.getSelection("psd, jpg, png, tif, gif, CR2, nef");            if(thumbs.length != 0){         &

Bonjour,Je n'ai plus de possibilité d'export dans bridge et donc de création de fichier JPEG. L'onglet "export" apparait toujours mais reste vide. Les icônes crayon, poubelle et + sont grisés..Avez-vous une solution!?merci

Does Adobe Bridge CC 2018 have email capability? Derek derk29@gmail.com

although disabled adobe bridge starts in full screen mode at every w10 start. I have installed:acrobataircontent viewerreative cloudflash playerIndesign 5.5media playerphotoshoppremiere elementsBridge is shown in quickstart but not possible to uninstall

In all past restarts, Bridge opened with all collections repopulated. This time, however, that did not occur. Path names to image folders refer to my user name, rather than to the external drive where the images actually reside.I _can_ manually recreate the some of the important collections, but am not optimistic about survival after a restart/shutdown.After posting this I will, however, make a complete shutdown, see if any improvement occurs, and will post a reply here.Thanks in advance.

I mainly use Bridge as a way of tagging my images and videos. With Bridge it gets the work done eventually but the process is laborious and boring.I feel this is a big part of the software that can be improved upon with features including:Keyword suggestions based on keywords used, including locationKeyword suggestions based on imageImproved layout, horribly difficult scrolling through a long list in a small areaFace detection (applies relevant name of person within image)Flikr's layout on displaying tags is so much kinder to the eyes, one to look intoThese are immediate ideas for now, for a long time now I've been considering other keyword solutions. Please do make improvements in this area.Thanks,Sam

Hi,I wanted to import GoPRO videos as I always do. I noticed I don't have Lightroom anymore (the old CC disappeared and I didn't know I need to choose and install between Classic and CC now) so I opened Bridge instead since I didn't have the time to install Lightroom back. What hit me was the amount of memory it uses while importing photos from card. All of a sudden OS X showed me prompt about not having enough memory to run the system. That was strange taking in consideration my mac is 32GB od RAM and the only apps that were opened were Photoshop and two Chrome tabs. Also it crashed three times while importing...Is this some kind of bug? Screenshots below:

Hi, I need to move some files from one disk on my computer to another hard drive and I wanted to know if I will keep my keywords attached to the files. If the keywords won't be attached to the files, how to move the files and keywords at the same time?Also, I wanted to know if it's possible to hide files that have a specific keyword. Like, I have some pictures with friends on a folder but I want to show only the pictures that don't have the keyword (friends) that I created.Thanks for your help in advance.

I use Adobe CC on a Windows machine. The file system is NFTS and therefore I can give the folders and files a description. I would like to see this inBridge.Does anyone know if this is possible & how?Thank you........................... liz

Hello ..I just installed Bridge CC & was trying to copy all media files from a SD Card. I haven't changed any config's except the folder location, naming etc.The issue i face is that, the Application selects all files, jpg, txt, everything and copies to the local Folder, and since i have marked to delete the originals ; all files are deleted (no folders though) from the SD.Please help me find a way to choose the media files only for the import. I have quite a lot of JPGs, AVIs, MOVs, MP4s.RegardsGJ

Since upgrading to bridge cc 2017 my tiff thumbnails are no longer visible which rather defeats the point of bridge - any ideas
