Bridge CS3 Stripping Clipping Path Names

Whenever editing the metadata in a .psd file, whether it be through a script or manually typing it in, Bridge CS3 strips the file's clipping path names. Howeer, running the same script in Bridge CS2 and performing the manual metadata changes leaves the path names intact. Does anyone know why the path names are being removed and how to prevent it? Thanks.

The metadata fields that I wish to edit are: Title, Instructions, Headline, City, State, Date, and Country.

Wow, it's good to know that someone else had the same problem too.

I noticed this very same problem with my PSD files today. My clipping paths were all named until I decided to add a keyword to the file using Bridge CS3. When I opened the file, I noticed that all my clipping path names were gone!

At first I didn't realize that it was Bridge CS3 that altered the clipping path names (I thought I accidentally hit a short cut I wasn't supposed to)... but after opening another file (with even MORE clipping path names), I realized that it was probably Bridge CS3 that was problem. I tested the issue a couple more times with new files, and the same thing happened.

Now, this is a question for David Franzen, have you guys found the issue and fixed it? Also, do you have any answers on preventing this (other than not using the metadata feature in CS3 for my PSD files)?

I guess I won't be using Bridge CS3 in the way I wanted to until this is resolved.

If this information helps at all, I'm currently using an Intel-based MacPro and running CS3.3.
