Double click on videos not working since v11.0

Since the last major update, the videos are played back automatically in the thumbnail view.

But the double-click no longer opens the video in the normal video player.

Why? Is this a bug?

 

Pressing Enter on the thumbnail works as expected: The video opens in the player.

 

The double click does nothing (the autoplayback in thumb is started on mouse over).

Correct answer konrad79

I check the previous version and double does not work on the two machines I have here.

I would suggest you submit a bug report to the appropriate public forum

 


Thought that is the official Bridge forum here?

 

Solved the problem by disabling the new feature under "Edit -> Pref -> Thumbnails -> "Preview Video on Mouse Hover"

Several of those are configured in Bridge preferences.

Not sure what you are refering to regarding "double clicking" opens in normal video player

If I double click with the mouse on e.g. a JPEG or PNG or other image, it opens Photoshop or the programm associated in the preferences - Illustrator, InDesign ... whatever. Depending on the filetype. Normal behaviour since version 1.

Double clicking a video (e.g. mp4) in a previous version opens the associated video player (VLC, Windows Media Player, ...). Normal behaviour since Bridge supported video files.

 

Now: Double click with the mouse on a video thumbnail does: Nothing. No reaction of the program.

But its not the missing file type association - since pressing the enter key opens the video normal as expected.

 

As a developer I would say: They broken something integrating the new "preview video play in thumbnail mode"-feature.

I am assuming you are on a windows OS

make sure windows has mp4 as the default player

Go to your thumbnail and R-click , select "open with" and windows media player should be there as a option.

Some where in the windows OS updates that double click must not be usable.

Happens in Bridge 10 as well.
