Only about 1/3 of my keyword list is importing into the 2026 Bridge. How can I get the rest of it in there? Here is what it should look like 

Sony ARW RAW files are not imported from Bridge 2026!!

I'm trying to switchover from Adobe Bridge to Lightroom for tracking and sorting photos. I have literally hundreds of keywords, lots of species and common names, in Bridge.  I need a proper photo catalog again, and Lightroom is what's there.  But....it turns out Bridge will happily export those keywords to an .xml or .txt file, but Lightroom will not import them directly because Lightroom disallows punctuation characters in keywords.But after I worked with text edit to remove/replace all of the forbidden characters, and imported the xml file into Lightroom, it did import them, but kept all the formatting stuff...So each of these lines came out as keywords<?xml version="10" encoding="UTF 8" standalone="yes" ?><keywords version="2">    <set name="Characteristic" disclosed="false">        <item name="Geolocator screenshot" />        <item name="inset closeup" />        <item name="Landscape" />        <set name="macro" disclosed="true">           

I had to install the old version of Adobe Bridge 16.0.0 MacBook Pro i7 and sonoma 14.8.5 version 16.0.3 won't start!

Or, "How many ways can you screw it up?" Let's look at some of the "enhancements" that Adobe has made from Bridge 2022 in Bridge 2023 (for Windows).Editing the description field. It USED to be that you could type [Ctrl] + [Enter] to commit a change. No more! Adobe has "improved" it by making it seemingly impossible to commit input via the keyboard, and making you move to the mouse (because evewybody likes mousies) and click on the tick icon near the bottom.Clipboard integration. What is going on with that? You can select a description or a set of keywords and bang away on [Ctrl]+[C] until your fingers bleed and it WILL NOT pick the content up into the clipboard. The only way it works is if you select Copy from the right click menu, because once again, evewybody likes mousies and this software wasn't designed, if I can use that word, for adults. This also results in a ridiculous number of visits from the incredibly annoying "Apply Metadata?" dialog, which you can tell Bridge not to

In Bridge de opname datum wijzigen.Binnen Bridge wordt die gewijzigde datum dan getoond en gebruikt Photoshop laat echter de oude niet gewijzigde datum zien, erg onhandig

I’m having a problem editing the Document Title metadata in my Photoshop psd file, so I decided to try  it in Bridge. I’m not familiar with Bridge, and I’m having a problem figuring out how to actually edit the metadata. I would appreciate it if someone could help me. I can get to the metadata pane of my file in Bridge. But I can’t seem to find a way to actually see the data in the document title field or edit it. Here’s a screenshot of what I am seeing. I see the field to edit, but I can’t seem to figure out how to edit it. Nothing I click on seems to bring up the area I can edit. Can someone help me out here? Thanks.Jeff I see the field to edit, but I can’t seem to figure out how to edit it.  

Is this due to lack of space on my Starch drive and or my main hard drive?

Opening Bridge (the latest v.) resulted in old workspaces (MBP Pro M2). Restore of SavedWorkspaces from a TM Bup didn’t help. ChatGPT’s advices didn’t work. What can I do?

I have a bunch of camera photos that did not get GPS coordinates while shooting. I want to manually add the coordinates in Bridge but I can’t seem to do this. First off, I am aware that Bridge uses a specific format for its format because I keep getting this: I have the information and format that is required and can add one coordinate, Lattitude, I can't just click in the Longitude section to add that info without getting the above warning. Is there a way to turn that off so I can add the second coordinate? Is there a better way to do this?  I don’t really know why this should be so difficult. Your help would really be appreciated.

Hello everyone,I have recently transitioned from Windows 11 to a Mac Mini M4, using a Mac keyboard and a Keychron M6 mouse. On Windows, I relied heavily on FastStone Image Viewer because of its speed and intuitive navigation.Since moving to macOS, I have tried XnView; while it allows for mouse wheel navigation, I found it has other limitations compared to what I’m used to in FastStone. I would much prefer to use Adobe Bridge, but I am struggling with the mouse controls.Specifically, I would like to use the mouse wheel to scroll to the next or previous image. Currently, it seems that the mouse wheel, along with the left and right mouse buttons, are all defaulted to zooming/enlarging functions. Having three different physical inputs dedicated to the same magnifying action feels redundant for my workflow, and I would much prefer to reassign the wheel to navigation.Is there a setting I am missing to enable "Mouse Wheel to Next/Previous Image" in Bridge? If this isn't natively supported in

Bridge launches normally however is very very slow and does not work properly when not connected to the internet. It nowhere states that Bridge must be connected to the internet to work properly. I am not talking about launching or verifying subscription. Is there some setting that I must change?

I would really like to copy / paste keywords. I have several photos from a fitness shoot where I separate keywords by amenity, equipment, exercises, etc. Many times, we circle back and do the same exercise as early just later in the day in a different location. I like to view my photos in the Filmstrip, so I don't see the exercises we'll be repeating in a grid view.Is there a way to copy / paste keywords so that I don't have to click the boxes for each individual photo as I scroll through the photos in Filmstrip view?

I have the problem that Bridge photo downloader duplicates my files, so that I have to manually go through and delete every second image after the import. Any Idea what might be causing this? Camera is Fuji X-H2. Bridge Version 16.03

I have just tried to open Adobe Bridge 2026 and this message comes up: You can't open the application "Adobe Bridge 2026" because it may be damaged or incomplete. can anyone tell me how two fix this please?Thanks 

I want to be able to click on an images thumbnail in Bridge, and have the image open for viewing in Windows Photo Viewer in W11.    All online searches point me to amending the file association. BUT, there is no Photo.exe to link to since the W11 Photo viewer appears to be a DLL OR is there another way to trigger this ? How do I associate JPG’s or any/all Bridge thumbnails to open in Windows Photo viewer instead of Elements. Native "Windows Explorer" opens JPG's into W11 Photo Viewer.  But when the Bridge association is set to "Explorer settings" they still open into Elements. Selecting the DLL appears to list Photoviewer but then when I click it says there are no associations with JPGs.  Around in circles.  

Hi updated to latest version and got this message on opening "“Adobe Bridge 2025” is damaged and can’t be opened."" Help anyone?

I'm trying to switch from Picasa to Bridge as my photo organizer.  My main problem with Bridge is that it doesn't automatically recognize the tags created in Picasa as keywords. It seems to recognize them as "unassigned" keywords and displays them in the keyword panel in italics, but each one has to be right-clicked on and converted to "Persistent" to remove the italics and have the keyword entered into Bridge's library of keywords.  Since I have hundreds of keywords, that's not going to work for me.  Is there a faster way?

Have been able to add keywords and change capture time in Bridge (all versions) up until recently. However, created a few with Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra this month. None of these are able to be edited by Bridge - tried all versions, including the latest beta. The videos were taken in H.264 format.Current version Bridge is 16.0.2.23Is there anything else I can do?

My last Windows 10 desktop gave up the ghost rather suddenly, and I moved to a Windows 11 HP desktop replacement.  Of course I had to re-install my favourite programmes and in the process the file “Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml” from my old system was overwritten by a new file with just a few American  suggestions for Keywords (eg: Places/New York, Events/Thanksgiving etc.)  appearing on Bridge when I opened it.  I kick myself for not making a better System Backup.Today I started the job of giving my photos Keywords again by creating the beginning of a Keyword tree in the Keywords panel. My new Keyword list appeared in the Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml file.  Before linking the photos to the Keywords I  opened a folder dated 2004 in Bridge and found that the Keyword Panel was populated with the original Keywords that applied to these photos, although all in Italic Text .  This was a surprise to me as I had thought the keyword designations for these photos had been lost when the “Adobe Bridge K

Currently using Bridge 2026, but have Bridge 2020 in my Apps list (Windows 11). Try to uninstall 2020 but get the message ‘Specified product is not installed on this machine.’ Suggestion has been made to reinstall Bridge 2020 to correct any problems and then try to uninstall it. However, cannot find a Bridge 2020 installation file!

Adobe Bridge 15.0.3.525  Windows 11 Pro. Laptop Dell G16 I9 64gb of memory, 4TB SSD. Every 5 minutes or so Bridge freezes while I am working with it displaying “Not Responsive” in the title bar for maybe 30 seconds or so without any other error. Regardless how many photos are in the folder. Then it unfreezes like nothing ever happened. It happened with most previous versions too.  Thanks.  

how does one import CSV file metadata into Adobe Bridge selected images?(thus speeding up AI keywording process)

With my old laptop I could rate pictures in Full Screen Preview (Spacebar) mode, then I could see the rating in the lower left corner. But with my new Mac Book Air, I can only rate in the list of the file names. It doesn’t work in Full Screen or Review Mode anymore. How can I fix this?

Duplicate Collections do not preserve custom sort of the original. Tried every suggestion - drag and drop, "pre-set" manual, duplicate file in finder. Each method scrambles the sequence in the new collection. I do not want to rename the files in the original collection. Working with Bridge 2026, Mac OS 26.2.  Is this a hopeless pursuit?
