how do we get the file names to show on these thumbnails page?

 

    Correct answer Conrad_C

    Now how do we zoom to 200%, not 800%, when we space-bar the enlarged preview?

     

    It should magnify in increments when you press the - (minus sign) or =/+ (equal sign or plus sign) keys. Pressing the space bar is the same as choosing the command View > Full Screen Preview. It seems to default to 1:1, but if the pixel width and height exceed the the display’s then it seems to default to Fit view. From that point you can press the - or = keys to reduce or increase magnification, respectively.

    Look at bottom right and uncheck the box "Thumbnails only".

    Hi, ​@Steve Zeeeee, heck if I know.

    If you’ve selected a file in the Content Panel and press the space bar, you are supposed to display that image up to the size of your monitor. People want it to expand ti fill the monitor, but Bridge is only able to display image files up to their enharent resolution. That is, if your image is 5000 pixels tall, and your monitor is 4000 pixels talll, it will fill the screen vertically. But if your image is 2000 pixels tall, it will fill the montior 50% (vertically), and no more.

    Now, if you’re talking about the Loupe Tool, where you click on the image in the Preview window, press the + and - keys to go from 200x, 400x, and 800x.

    I hope one of these is what you’re looking for.

    Hi, ​@Steve Zeeeee, There are two ways to fix this, but it depends on how wide your Content Panel is.

    If it’s very wide, the answer is at the right-hand corner and select the right checkbox.

     

    If your Content Panel is narrow, this converts to a drop-down:


    Whichever way your panel directs the usage, select Tiles, not Thumbnails Only

    Let us know if this solves the problem.
