    I have never seen such a problem before.

    Can you give full details of how and when this happens please? How are you “uploading” images and to where?

    Also which version of Bridge and which operating system?

    I transfer images to my PC using Bridge Photo Downloader, which opens automatically when my camera is connected to my PC.

    Bridge Downloader is set up to create a new sub-folder for the images, named according to the date the images were created.

    When all the images have been copied over, Bridge opens to show the images in the new folder.

    If I transfer more than one set of images, a second Bridge window opens to display the new set of images, even if they are transferred shortly after the first set of images, have the same date and are in the same folder.

    OK check this for me.

    In the Photo Downloader dialogue box, make sure that you are in the Advanced Dialogue. There is a button at bottom left if you are in the Standard Dialogue. In the Advanced Dialogue box, look under Advanced Options and ensure that the box “Open Adobe Bridge” is unchecked. As you already have Bridge open this would open another instance and possibly is your issue.

    Let me know if this helps.
