How do I enable single key labelling in Bridge? I do not see the “Use Ctrl/Cmd for Ratings and Labels" check box at the bottom of the Content panel. I do not have that option.

Hi, I’m trying to change the font size in Adobe Bridge, but I can’t find the option. Is there a way to adjust the UI or text size?  

Over the years, my creative group has produced hundreds of custom digital illustrations. We are harvesting those images and trying to create a stock art resource for others in our vast organization to use. We use Adobe products (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) but I’ve never used Bridge. All of these assets have different file names. I’m trying to determine an appropriate file naming structure for a Stock art resource, i.e., create a catalog-style numbering system? descriptive terms in file name? Next, how do I keep track of what I rename each Stock asset file so I can trace it back to the original? So I am also seeking guidance on best practices for re-naming each file. 

I know that I have done this in the past but I can’t remember how I did it. The AI answer says to right click the image and select ‘set as folder thumbnail’ but that option does not exist in Bridge 16.0.1.18.

When cropping images in Bridge’s camera raw, is there any option to have a grid overlay?That would be most useful when making a video sequence of shots of s subject that is moving a lot in the frame.

This process would save me alot of time,  I know I used to use a similar script.  If not, if yall could send me in the direction of how to make my own at this point.

Has anyone found a solution to the blue thumbnail glitch on Adobe Bridge on macOS? Thumbnails on ProRes HQ footage look normal, but any H265/HEVC footage has a blue tint. I know Windows has a solution by installing HEVC extensions, but I can't find any for macOS. I am on the latest macOS Sequoia and Adobe Bridge versions.

Hello,Regardless of the option chosen, the message of the image below keeps appearing every time I open Adobe Bridge 2026.What is the solution to avoid this?Thank you in advance.  

In Bridge, why is the “This PC” hierarchy duplicated?  The same condition appears in Bridge on my laptop as well.  See attachment. Thanks

After update to 9.0.2.219 x64 (Win 10) Bridge opens all kind of files in AfterEffects..psd, .jpg. .indd, .pdf, .xls you name it. ALL.Resseting file types associations - no change.Resseting all preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift start method) - no change.Any ideas?To be clear, opening from Windows finder works correctly, just double clicking inside Bridge opens AE.

Every time I open Bridge, I get this box about access/privacy.It appears regardless of clicking either option.Sequoia/Bridge 16.0.2.23 

Anybody else miss this?We have "Light," "Dark," and "Chunky Dark" but there's no "Medium" anymore! I definitely miss this. Adobe please answer my call!    

Are there plans to bring Adobe Bridge to Windows on ARM?  Having Photoshop and Camera Raw is great, but without Bridge there is no way to have a legitimate photography-centered workflow. Also, wrong forum, but Lightroom Classic, please?

Beim drücken der Leertaste erscheint das Bild in Vollansicht, leider flackert es auch nach dem neuesten Update immer noch...Wird das irgendwann mal behoben???

[I keep finding problems with Bridge 2020 w.r.t. Bridge CS5 almost on a daily basis - un upgrade it aint] This is a relatively minor bug but dangerous when emptying the main drive Trash (MacOs Mojave).  The more serious problem of file deletion in Bridge is being discussed on other threads. Each external drive has its own trash (/Volumes/<drive>/.Trashes) whereas there is the main drive user trash (/Users/<user>/.Trash). When Bridge is deleting a file on an external drive, it moves it to the user's local trash. This is not good for a number of reasons:1. If you don't know this behaviour and empty your local trash - you have unwittingly permanently deleted files on external drives;2. It would eat up storage on local drive which is more precious than external drives: A file deletion remainig on the same drive has no net storage cost - deleting a 1 GB file does not result in an additional 1 GB being used up on that drive - whereas moving the file

Since the Bridge 2026 update, dragging a Finder folder directly onto the application's icon in the Dock no longer works. It was quite convenient. Has anyone else noticed this?

All of the sudden, after a day of regular work, Bridge 16 stopped letting rename files or assign stars or labels. When I click on the name field of the file it seems disabled. My Mac runs on 15.7.2 . I tried updating OS, tried uninstalling and installing Bridge again. The disc access is granted in the security settings. What should I do to resolve?

This is my second post about this. Yesterday morning Bridge (2026, on MacBook Pro M5 with Tahoe) stopped working. It begins to lauch, the menu bar appears, but then nothing else. If you try to use a menu, for example the "about Bridge" or anything that would call up something on the screen, nothing hasppens and the menus all grey out. Then you have to use force quit to cloe down. I've tried everything I see on hte web to no avail. If I hold the coamn/optio/shift keys I get a window that  allows me to choose emptying cache and/or deleting presents (nothing about startup files) but doing that doesn't alter the results. I starting from teh finder insteard of the doc, but the same things happen. Any ideas?  Ed Merrin

Hi Adobe Community,I can't uninstall the old version of Adobe Bridge, v: 9.1.  It doesn't appear in Creative Cloud and also doesn't appear in the list in Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.  It does not appear in Windows 11 uninstall or Revo Uninstaller, and Revo Forced Uninstall doesn't find it.  Is there any way to remove this old version?  Thanks.Zaffer

Anything I search for in the Adobe Bridge quick search (in the top right of the app) yeilds zero results. I'm trying to search terms in my Sound Effects library. No matter what I search, no items are found. If I search a term in the general File Explorer (outside of the Bridge app) I get results.  I've unistalled and reinstalled Bridge. Still not working. I've downloaded the beta version of Bridge. Still not working. 

BonjourJe n'arrive pas à ouvrir les fichiers présents sur mon NAS DS218J. Le fichier apparait avec un cadenas en haut à droit, sans affichage de l'aperçu.Avez-vous une solution ?Merci

In the Folders section of Bridge, "This PC" and subsequent folders are listed twice; duplicated.  I'm using the current version of Bridge and have reinstalled twice, to no avail.  Microsoft File Explorer and other like apps work Ok, no duplicated trees. Any thoughts?  

I couldn't found how to disable mandatory use of Ctrl key combined with a digit (e.g. Ctrl+1) for rating files in the latest version of Bridge. Since I use ratings very often, it's very uncomfortable to press 2 keys instead of one. Adobe team, do restore the checkbox, please!
