When Apple released Catalina, I upgraded. That's when ALL my trouble started. PS/Bridge CS6 woud not operate - AT ALL! After a call to Apple Care Technical Support, the solution was to revert back to Mojave. Because the downgrade process failed, my only choice was to re-install Mojave from scratch. So I also had to reinstall PS CS6.   I had been using Dr. Brown's Image Processor Pro prior to the "crash". After downloading Image Processor Pro, neither the downloaded version nor the Bridge version Image Processor would work. Error message: could not find image processor.jsx. This lead me to believe it was time to re-install PS CS6. After Adobe sent me a link to the PS CS6 download because my order was No Longer listed in my History, I began downloading PS CS6. Now Bridge will only recognize earlier .CR2 camera raw files. I'm not sure where the time cut off is but recent raw file only dispay a Bridge icon to represent the file. In addition, the file will not open from Bridge to PS.&n

ACK!  Ok, so I am a photographer, not a computer person.   I'm a single middle aged mom going back to school and my minor is photography..... I am still learning all I can do in CS5....  I just recently noticed my computer slowing down and now I am getting a pop up when I launch Bridge telling me to purge the cache folder in preferences.  First off I don't completely understand what the cache folder is or what it does.Secondly I know enough to know not to trust all popups.... so i need to understand what I lose if I purge the system.Third... what options do I have to fix this problem?Any help in basic untechy simple minded mom terms would be fabulous.  I really need to understand what this cache thing is...and what problems I am going to encounter if I purge it.... and what options I have to stop the pop up but maintain integrity of my files.thanks!!!Jen

Hello,I used Adobe Bridge for metadata only. The program crashes everytime I'm trying to save "file info" window. It opens "file info" box, I can fill all the columns but when I put "ok" or "cancel" (doesn't matter) it always crashes. It started happend after upgrading system on mac to El Capitan. File info in Photoshop CS5 in the same system works fine. Anyone knows how to solve it?Thank you.

Okay, I installed all of the cc2019 updates and Bridge (worked normally on cc2018) started to behave crazy. I mean all works except preview thumbnails. I get some kind of "static interference" pattern instead of previews.I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop and Bridge to solve the issue but no luck.Computer is iMac Pro 27".On my old iMac 27" (2011) it works normally after the update. Any idea? Thanks!

I recently opened Creative Cloud after a longer time and there was a Adobe Bridge CC update to 2018.Couple of day later my hard disk space is disappearing like mad. I found loads of gigabytes in "C:\Users\myUsername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files" .I delete it all ;  Open Adobe Bridge CC 2018 ; Click on a folder that has about 4 gb of video files in it ( not doing anything with those files, not even clicking on them with the mouse ) and just watch the  "C:\Users\myUsername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files"start filling up with 10 gb of some .cfa files and much smaller .ims files. It's actually copying word for word the name of the video files, adding 48000 at the end and making them bigger ( 500 mb mp4 - becomes 1.2 gb .cfa file ).How do i stop this ??? After closing Bridge, those .cfa files are still there, taking up space. In Preferences - Cache  - i don't have anything checkmarked. But that caches location is in  "C:\Users\myUsername

 Rotating scanned 35mm .jpg images in Bridge destroys the Bridge Thumbnail. I am scanning 35mm slide film in .jpg and .tif formats.  Occassionally, I need to rotate an image in Bridge from landscape to portrait and vice versa.  Three times, when I did that, it destroyed the .jpg image by either presenting it totally black, partially black or partially a weird yellow color. It also does not rotate the .jpg image.   This has happened 3 times over sevral days.  It does seem to happen mostly when I am clicking to rotating images quickly and have rotated a series and then try to rotate both the .jpg and .tif file for a single image.  I have a iMac running the latest version of Catalina and am using the updated Bridge 2019 because the Bridge 2020 had bugs in it when first released and I tried to use it. 

Hi for a long time I have used bridge to view raw files and selected them to open PS raw editor before opening in photoshop to finish. My old PC gave up the ghost and I bought a refurbished Dell after which Bridge to photoshop froze and went slow. Thinking this might be because of the performance today I did a PC build with 32 Gb 3000 Ram Gigabyte B450 Mobo Ryzen 5 2600 6 core processor  and Radeon 570 8Gb GPU but this made no difference to the performance at all so I am guessing it is settings somewhere I have updated to the latest version of Bridge and Photoshop  so please help   {Thread renamed by moderator}

When i rename any file, Bridge2020 change it position in sort and i lost focus on this file... So i need scroll back to previos position and select file by mouse to continue renaming next file. Bridge2019 dont have broblem like this. MacOs 10.15.4 Sorry for my English 🙂

Here's a strange one. I can delete some image files from my SD card in Bridge and not others, and it seems to depend on when the images were shot. For example I have a DCIM folder on my card created by my camera. I can delete all images taken yesterday, but none taken today (and on several other dates). For those shot yesterday, I can delete either with the Delete key on the computer (PC Win 10 Pro 64) or by clicking on Delete in the context menu. For my shots taken today, the Delete key does nothing and Delete is missing on the context menu. I need some help here. I am attaching two screen grabs to illustrate. FYI I just updated Bridge today (10.0.4.157), and I have tried everything, including taking out and replacing the card, restarting Bridge, restarting the computer.TIAToby   {Thread renamed by moderator}

Trying to import photos from iPhone via Bridge 2020 10.0.4.157 via Catalina 10.15.4.  Bridge sees the phone but doesn't allow anything else.  Is there a workaround for this?  Thanks.   {Thread renamed by moderator}

Hi all I've been using Replace Metadata in the Tools menu to fill the Copyright and Author IPTC fields with my name but then I realized that: the fields are empty in other applications, if the .xmp file is not present it's not displayed in Bridge. Therefore what the the tool does is filling the information into the .xmp file instead of into the image metadata. What the heck is the purpose of this feature? How to fix that?

Transfering all photos in Bridge from one computer to a new computer, both being Macs.  

I recently upgraded to MacOS Catalina and went through the subsequent updating of Creative Cloud apps. Upon updating, Bridge 2020 worked fine. However, after rebooting, the files on my external hard drives are no longer displayed when the drive is selected. So, the external drives appear under Computer but when selected nothing appears on the Content panel. All my photographic/video work is on my external drives and can be viewed via Finder and all other apps including Lightroom, Photoshop, etc. If anyone has a fix for this, please advise.   

I get this this message when I try to check for updates, I'm running Ver. 9.1.0.338.  It says I may not be logged in as Administrater.  Anyone know how to fix this?  Thanks   {Thread renamed by moderator}

I am trying to get some old folders organized so i thought i would try to use the batch rename tool. i showed all the subfolders as my intent what to use the parent folder name in the batch rename, but i could not use the tool. is bridge not able to batch rename folders?

Unfortunately, I’ve come across a “delete” bug with Adobe Bridge 2020.When trying to select one or more photos and then deleting them this message pops up in a waring window: “An error has occurred during the delete operation. Some files may not have been processed.” Under the text you have an “OK” button. Once you push the “OK” button the warning box disappears, and the photos appears to be removed from the folder and placed into the trash bin. If you’re deleting more than one photo the box will pop up for each photo and you’ll have to hit ok for the total number of photos you’ve selected to delete. (I’ve tried this with 1 photo and as many as 400). However, even upon emptying the trash, if you check the properties of the drive you’ve deleted the photo or photos from you’ll notice the size hasn’t changed. Then, upon closing Adobe Bridge, removing the drive from the PC, reconnecting the drive to the PC and then reopening Bridge you’ll see the photo you deleted is still there. If y

Bridge will frequently say "not responding" at launch and during use. It may also crash. This has been going on for several months. This was happening at least one version ago. Tech support cleaned up files and installed this new version but the problem persists.

Often I convert my images from raw to JPEGs.  Later, I want to only use some of these JPEGS and delete the rest to clean up my files.  I consistantly get this message:  "An error has occurred during the delete operation.  Some files may not have been processed."  There is a big red sign with white exclamation mark and an "OK" button.  I click the OK button and the image disappears only to reappear when I reopen the folder.  I can, however, delete the same images from my external hard drive. Kit C.
