Hi, I am quite new in Bridge. I am using Bridge 2021 in MacOS. I batch renamed several photos keeping them in their folders. I also preserved the original filename. Now I am traying to find them using advanced search. Neither using filename nor preserved filename, I could find those images. But the images are still in the folders when I manually browse them. How can I solve this problem.
Thanks
Probably good to try the other two but meanwhile, as you state they are on an external drive =, have you given Bridhe permission to access external drives? Yeah, seem silly but this is part of Apple's protection system.
Go to your System Preferences and select Security and Privacy (found in the top section). Now click on the Privacy setting (last tab). Now click on the lock on the bottom left and provide your Administrator code. Now select the Full Disk Access option and click on the "+" symbol. This will bring up the standard Mac Open window and let you add any application you want or need to have full access. Look for Bridge, select it, it will now appear in that window and make sure it's checked. Next go to the Files and Folders option and do the same thing as above (although there's nothing to check, just add. Close everything down and see if that makes it all work.
Please let me know
