It's no secret that adobe manages to screw up bridge every time they make a new update, but now they've gone too far. This is supposed to be an organizing program. But what good is an organizer when you can't even name your folders? I made contact several months ago. Only answer I got was to downgrade to an older version. Now there have been two more updates and the problem is still not fixed. They choose not to hear us, and if you raise your (voice), typing, you will be blocked. Its so confusing!!!

Problem or error

I agree with Erik's confusion. He's on a PC, and I'm on a Mac. I also have no issue renaming files or folders.

Besides his questions, if you can provide a detailed explanation of what you're trying to rename and the process you are having issues with.

Based on your subject, are you trying to rename items within a Map? That's a job for Acrobat, not Bridge.

I don't understand your title: 'Can´t rename the maps in "the most important" section'

What are the maps and what is the most important section please?

Personally I have no problems renaming anything using Adobe Bride, folders, files etc.

I am not saying that you don't have an issue but it is certainly not something which is universal.

What is your operating system and version of Bridge please?

Sorry for the Misleading headline. Essentials turned to be "the most imortant" somehow.

When you are in The Essentials section, you can organize files, names and add maps etc....

After one of the latest update this feauture goes away. This is where i do all my organizing with renaming of files and maps. I´m on a mac

Hi, @Geir5FE9, the Essentials Workspace has never been removed. I never use it, but that's beside the point (I've always created my own Workspaces, which are easy to do). But even if you are in one of the other Workspaces, you can still organize files, names, and add other items.

Quick question: this should NOT make a difference; I'm just curious: what format are the maps in?

Nonetheless, I think you are new to Bridge and haven't really explored what it can do. Here is more information that might help.

The following is very out of date, but the essentials still hold:

And, if YouTube is more your style, here are several basic tutorials (they are up to date). The first one is mine, just focusing on moving files from one folder to another utilizing the multi-Content Panel options we now have (and didn't have when I wrote the above).
