Bridge

Hi community,I have added a server volume to my Favorites. This server volume contains 11 shared volumes.(ok, they are large—several TBs each.)When I launch Bridge in the morning, the spinning cursor appears for a very long time before the shared folders finally display(4-6min.). On occasion, I have even quit and restarted Bridge in the interim. Is there a way to speed up the reading/displaying of this volume?Sure, Bridge naturally has to "check" what's there first, but it simply takes too long.My system specs are: Bridge v16.02, macOS v15.7.1, accessing a server via the Samba protocol (version? — would that be relevant?).I would be grateful for any tips.

I ran out of disk space on an external hard disk, so I moved a large folder of photographs to a different external disk. Now photographs that were in the original place are lost in an important bridge collection. I can relocate them one by one in Bridge using the “Fix” dialog, but there are hundreds to fix. Question 1: Is there any way to to point Bridge to the new location of the folder and tell it to fix all pointers to photographs in that folder? Question 2: I am solving my storage problem by buying new larger disks. How can I avoid the same problem when I move all photographs to a new disk? Thanks,Phil

When I have one or more files selected for deletion and hit delete/backspace (optionally with Cmd, if I’m more sure about it), I’m prompted if I really want to delete them [image 1]. If I hit Delete, the file(s) is (are) deleted. If I hit Undo, the file(s) will be recovered again, but they don’t always re-appear in my window [image 2]. If I navigate up and down the folder, the file(s) show up [image 3].So the view of the window isn’t refreshed automatically after Undo…BTW: this happens (and can be reproduced) after a while of working with Acrobat.Quit and re-open will correct the behavior, until it comes back again.  

Adobe Bridge photo downloader does not recognise my Canon R7 camera. I have tried some simple tips from the internet but nothing works. I have tried downloading images via a card reader as well as direct from the camera - neither work. I have downloaded the latest Bridge software. I have also tried Adobe Bridge Beta. I have an Apple Imac. My OS is up to date - Tahoe 26.4.1Any help and suggestions would be great !Thanks.Maggie 

Bridge still not workingmany times re-install and installI can not work whit-out bridge help please 

I got a new PC and on this I get a fail message when I try to download. Any idea why?

I have a folder full of photos and folders. I want to order all of them via date created, but Bridge keeps the folders and files firmly seperated, but I would like to manually mix them all together, for true chronological order. Is there a way to do this? 

Adobe Bridge displays “Initializing Video Library” in the status bar at bottom upon startup. This persists for 10-30 minutes. During this time, any click on the interface (e.g. Preferences) causes a beach ball (Adobe Bridge stops responding) for 30 to 120 seconds. I don’t use Adobe Bridge for video. Is there a way to completely disable the video library? (I’m not even sure what that is or why it takes up to a half hour to initialize, or what happens during initialization.) Mac Studio, Apple M2 Max, 64GB RAM, MacOS 14.8.3 (23J220)

After update to 9.0.2.219 x64 (Win 10) Bridge opens all kind of files in AfterEffects..psd, .jpg. .indd, .pdf, .xls you name it. ALL.Resseting file types associations - no change.Resseting all preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift start method) - no change.Any ideas?To be clear, opening from Windows finder works correctly, just double clicking inside Bridge opens AE.

I just got a notification that popped up on my M2 Macbook Air that components of Adobe Bridge will not work in a future macOS release. Does this mean Adobe will finally have to optimize Adobe Bridge and it’s features for Apple M chips? 

Only about 1/3 of my keyword list is importing into the 2026 Bridge. How can I get the rest of it in there? Here is what it should look like 

Sony ARW RAW files are not imported from Bridge 2026!!

I'm trying to switchover from Adobe Bridge to Lightroom for tracking and sorting photos. I have literally hundreds of keywords, lots of species and common names, in Bridge.  I need a proper photo catalog again, and Lightroom is what's there.  But....it turns out Bridge will happily export those keywords to an .xml or .txt file, but Lightroom will not import them directly because Lightroom disallows punctuation characters in keywords.But after I worked with text edit to remove/replace all of the forbidden characters, and imported the xml file into Lightroom, it did import them, but kept all the formatting stuff...So each of these lines came out as keywords<?xml version="10" encoding="UTF 8" standalone="yes" ?><keywords version="2">    <set name="Characteristic" disclosed="false">        <item name="Geolocator screenshot" />        <item name="inset closeup" />        <item name="Landscape" />        <set name="macro" disclosed="true">           

I had to install the old version of Adobe Bridge 16.0.0 MacBook Pro i7 and sonoma 14.8.5 version 16.0.3 won't start!

Or, "How many ways can you screw it up?" Let's look at some of the "enhancements" that Adobe has made from Bridge 2022 in Bridge 2023 (for Windows).Editing the description field. It USED to be that you could type [Ctrl] + [Enter] to commit a change. No more! Adobe has "improved" it by making it seemingly impossible to commit input via the keyboard, and making you move to the mouse (because evewybody likes mousies) and click on the tick icon near the bottom.Clipboard integration. What is going on with that? You can select a description or a set of keywords and bang away on [Ctrl]+[C] until your fingers bleed and it WILL NOT pick the content up into the clipboard. The only way it works is if you select Copy from the right click menu, because once again, evewybody likes mousies and this software wasn't designed, if I can use that word, for adults. This also results in a ridiculous number of visits from the incredibly annoying "Apply Metadata?" dialog, which you can tell Bridge not to

In Bridge de opname datum wijzigen.Binnen Bridge wordt die gewijzigde datum dan getoond en gebruikt Photoshop laat echter de oude niet gewijzigde datum zien, erg onhandig

The masking tools in the latest version of acr are basically unusable. One swipe with the brush tool creates the spinning wheel of doom, which leads me to force quit. Even with a simple radial gradient you can see the mask struggling to form. When you undo an edit, it takes a second or more to undo/redo. Before anyone suggests it's my computer, it isn't (M2 Max, 64GB). This has only been happening since the last update about a week ago.

I’m having a problem editing the Document Title metadata in my Photoshop psd file, so I decided to try  it in Bridge. I’m not familiar with Bridge, and I’m having a problem figuring out how to actually edit the metadata. I would appreciate it if someone could help me. I can get to the metadata pane of my file in Bridge. But I can’t seem to find a way to actually see the data in the document title field or edit it. Here’s a screenshot of what I am seeing. I see the field to edit, but I can’t seem to figure out how to edit it. Nothing I click on seems to bring up the area I can edit. Can someone help me out here? Thanks.Jeff I see the field to edit, but I can’t seem to figure out how to edit it.  

It appears my "scripts" are broken in Bridge 2026 Version 160.321. When I Edit-Preferences-Startup Scripts I see the usual items checkmarked. But when I "Reveal Scripts in Explorer" there is nothing there. Zero *.jsx files.C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge 2026\Startup Scripts\ = EMPTYI discovered this trying to Auto Stack a batch of exposure bracketed images. The Auto Stack function was missing. I've done this many times, but this was the first time in 2+ years. So it appears the issue came with some Bridge or Photoshop feature version updates.Searching my Windows 11 system I found an AutoStacks.jsx file in:C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge (Beta) Extensions\AutoStacks.jsxThis, even though I had uninstalled Bridge Beta long ago after a brief test. So, I simply copied that file to the empty Startup Scripts folder for Bridge 2026, and now Auto Stacking is available and works. Go figure, but I recommend Bridge users to "Reveal Scripts in Explorer" to see if you have a
