Hey Gang, first time on ANY forum.  i am a photographer working on creating a shared network search engine.  Bridge shared cache touts THAT SOLUTION.  i am having tons and tons of crashing and after multiple tickets into Adobe we still can't get it to behave at any level.  CRASHES ALL THE TIME.Is there ANYONE that is having success using the shared cache?  would love to pick your brain.  

I'm using Bridge 2020 on my macbook pro 10.13.6 from and external hard drive and it has frozen -- can't even quit or hide.  Help! 

I have Windows 10 and the Bridge 10.0.2 it takes forever for Bridge to open. When it finally opens no matter what I click on it will freeze and I have to end task on it. I have tried to look online for a fix but can not seem to find anything that will help. I know I am not the only person that has had this happen to.

I have been using Bridge with Windows 7 for a few months now and am about to move to Windows 10.  My files are all kept on an external HDD but am aware that when I do a clean install of Win10 all my programs will be removed. Will all the data in Bridge associated with my files (e.g. meta data, keywords, file information) still be available to me?  What issues must I consider before doing an upgrade to Win10?

Bridge 10.0.2. Just did a clean install onto a new mac with Catalina. Imported my Keywords from the old computer, all photos on an external hard drive, Gave Bridge full disk access in my preference securities. When I try to do a search in Bridge for a keyword or even specify photo name with "include subfolders" and "Include non-indexed files" it comes up with zero results. Under metadata the keywords are shown attached to the photos but the search is not seeing them. Any ideas?

For some reason in the new version of Bridge 10.0.2.131 I can't open the desktop folder.If I open Favorites all folders are visible (Home) (Documents) (Pictures) (Desktop) all open when clicked,except Desktop.If I open Folders there is Desktop and Computer. If I click on computer there is the Hard drive, Click on Desktop and nothingI just donn't know.  Can anyone Help Please.PS. Yes there are folders on the Desktop.Bob Tanner.

So I've looked through a handful of inquiries about deleted files from Bridge but haven't seen an answer to this question yet: I am a wedding photographer and typically sort my files and rename them before uploading them to my cloud-based platform to share with my client. Lately in Bridge, when I've deleted files out of the folder within Bridge, they have somehow made it into the final gallery. I know I am moving them to trash as opposed to rejecting them, and I get the notification bump that they are moved to trash. Yet somehow when I rename and upload the folder to my platform, the files that have been moved to the trash still end up within the folder. Hoping y'all can help resolve this issue!Thank you!

 Hello,How to avoid launching adobe bridge when turning on my macCordialement

I have Adobe Bridge 2020 on both a PC and a laptop using Windows 10. I only use one machine at a time.All my images are on a 1tb external drive.From Bridge on my PC I relocated the cache to a folder on the external drive to save computer space. This set up works fine but if I attach the external drive to my laptop and open Bridge I want to be able to access the cache on the external drive but don't seem to be able to do it. Can anyone help please.

Hi All, When I am using Bridge and go into preferences the preference box is opening out of the top of my monitor screen. So I am unable to drag it down to get to all of the settings how can I get it back to normal.   Regards Melvyngd   {Thread title edited by moderator}

Hi We have lots of client images, photos of work etc. These are currently all over a Server.We want a way to Catalogue, Tag, Divide up our whole collection in one place. We've never looked at or used Bridge before and, at first glance, it looks achievable but I've been trawling the internet and no one has really discussed it with the current versions of Creative Suite. I have had a play and for a single user on one machine it's great but when i then log into Bridge on my Laptop they aren't there. I also then want to share my library with a colleague and can't work that out either. Or am i looking at the wrong solution for this? Any help appreciated. 

I'd like to run two slide shows, each from a separate Bridge windows, each on a separate monitors.Is that possible? If so, how can I do that? Thanks, Phil

HI, After latest update for Photoshop and Bridge discover a major problem in Bridge Somehow cant add metadata, or label or anything to Jpeg files. It is SO UNCOMFORTABLE!!!!!! How I can resolve this problem?????? PLS HELP!!!!!!

I imported some photos that have keywords in the Metadata. Is there a way to batch delete all keywords from a selection of photographs. I don't want to open each of the hundreds of photos to delete the keywords in the metadata. Thanks

I have Bridge 2019. I want to be able to make a contact sheet as before, where it createds a layered file with the images each on a separate layer. I want to be able to rearrange the images on the contact sheet. For example I might want 5 images on one sheet. 4 landscape shape and one portrait shape. Previously in earlier versions of Bridge I could have 2 columns and 3 rows, and load the landscape ones first, across first and second rows, and the portrait one last. Then in CC with the Move tool I could move the portrait one into the centre of the third row.Now with the Output Module, I don't seem to be able to do that. Firstly the images no longer remain in the order I have arranged them in in Bridge, they become arranged in alphabetical order of title, and secondly, the 5th image, the vertical one, is placed into the bottom left square of the grid, and is not movable to the centre of the third row.Please can you explain how I might do what I want to do. I use this kind of layout quite

Desde la actualización a OSx Catalina las etiquetas en Adobe Bridge no me funcionan, es como si no tubiese permiso para poder ponerlas, alguno ha tenido el mismo problema?, alguien sabe solucionarlo?Gracias de antemano. Since the update to OSx Catalina the tags in Adobe Bridge do not work for me, it is as if I had no permission to put them, has anyone had the same problem?, does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Hello.How can view the RAW files in Adobe Bridge like the pictures as I took them with the camera - in the JPEG look? In the currently raw view it's difficult to sort out the pictures (by the way: i can not open the files with CameraRaw because the newest CameraRaw version of Lightroom 5 and PSE is apparently not compatible to Bridge)  Thanks

Hey everyone! I'm not sure if this is easy to fix or something Adobe can help me with, but doesn't hurt to ask. I've recently started using Bridge (2020 version) again after not using for a few months. I had inserted my memory card to the slot in the 2015 Macbook Pro and when I opened Bridge a popup window appeared asking to approve access to removable disk or media (I can't remember the wording exactly). When I tried to access my photos on the memory card, nothing came up. I tried looking in the system preferences but wasn't sure where to look to change the access. I then tried to uninstall the software without saving the preferences to see if that made a difference. I'm wondering if there is a setting or system preference somewhere that I can change.

Hi, I'm a photographer I only want to juse Bridge and the Extra option that comes with it 'Camera Raw'. I don't need anything else, no photoshop, no ... I was wondering if this is possible. I'm also a student so maybe this is like a cheaper option?  Already thankyou for helping. 🙂 Greetings!Hanne

How can i make a contact sheet from a library, with the image names as per using output?  Need client to make their picks and give us names of images to use.

I was tagging a folder of files (all pdfs, not huge) just fine until today. I can still change tags/ratings on files that already have them, as well as other things in other folders, but not the remaining 30 or so files in this folder. They are not locked, I have read and write permissions on the files, I just can't tag/rate them.  I'm up to date on the program, I've tried the short cut keys or tagging them through the menu, I've tried it with the "require command key" off or on, I've cleared my cache multiple ways, nothing. I've filtered through plenty of other similar but not quite scenarios to mine, and my own troubleshooting hasn't gotten me anywhere. Any other ideas?

While reinstalling PS and other programs after a motherboard change I encountered an error that tells me that my system doesn't meet the compatibility requiements for Bridge.I find this strange as I had just downloaded and installed PS.System is an Intel i7core processor with 32GB Ram and plenty of HD space.  I'd ask Adobe about this directly but it seems to be absolutely impossible to contact them via chat, email or phone.  I get stuck in a endless loop that takes me back to the same page every time.  A page that has NO contact info on it at all.
