Questions

Using Bridge 15.0., Mac mini M1 chip. When I use the space bar to go into full screen the preveiw zooms in and out by itself. What am I doing wrong here? 

Dear forum, I can't believe we are back at this. My biggest frustration with Bridge is that it sometimes decides not to load thumbnails or previews. At least 4 times per year this malefunctions. Should this not be a very easy fix ADOBE? Again I need to check the chache, the memory, uninstall ... install. I am not asking for much here. Oh yeah, thanks for letting me vent, but lets FIX this. Simon 

Latest version of Bridge CC 8.0.1.282 x64 on Windows 7 machine won't let me rename, move or delete WAV or MOV files!  If I attempt to delete from Windows explorer I get a message  that  the operation cannot be performed because the file is open in dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe!If I go to task manager and kill the process (which is taking up a huge amount of resources) I can then work with the file, but Lightroom Classic CC or Bridge CC will not play any video files until both are restarted.  Any ideas??

Al hacer clic sobre un archivo jpg no me lo abre en photoshop , si hago clic con el boton derecho si me lleva a "abrir con" los archivo raw si los abre con camera raw. Esto me ocurre hace unos dias. Gracias 

Bonjour, Depuis hier, tous les mots-clés et sous mots-clés ont disparus de Bridge.  Dans le dossier "Bridge 2024" le fichier "Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml" est daté de hier "‎créé le : mardi ‎5 ‎novembre ‎2024, ‏‎08:25:45" et dans le dossier "Bridge 2025" le fichier "Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml" est daté de maintenant "‎crée le : mercredi ‎6 ‎novembre ‎2024, ‏‎11:02:31" Je ne comprends pas, on dirait que la mise à jour a écrasée mon fichier contenant l'arborescence des mots-clés.  Il ne reste que les mots-clés par défaut.  Comment faire ?  merci !!  

Hi All I have been having long chats with Adobe Technical and have now had it confirmed that Adobe Bridge 2025 (and probably previous versions) does not support the H265 4.2.0 10-bit LongGOP 200 Mpbs CODEC. In Bridge it just displays the generic video icon. In contrast, the MP4 files show the video thumbnail correctly. This codec is used by a number of models in the Panasonic LUMIX range as well as other manufacturers. In my case, I have the LUMIX S1R. This then begs the question. What are the chances of Adobe supporting this CODEC in the future in Bridge?  On a final note, this CODEC is supported for Windows 11 and Lightroom Classic but not Bridge. Thanks Duncan

Hello.One of the things I like about Lighroom is the ability to see an actual map of the location a photo was taken. Oddly Bridge CC does not seem to have this ability and I would think that I am not alone in thinking that this would be really useful and not have to go back and forth between apps. Is there a way for this to happen? As mentioned, Lightroom and even Apple Photos displays a map view? using the most current versions of CC as of 10/30/24Jonathan

Hi! I am trying to see a collection of Tiff files from a folder using the slideshow function in Bridge 2025. The photos transition from one another correctly and smoothly but then, for just about half a second, the application shows a reduced version of the photo in the middle of the "projection" area, reassuming the correct displaying format next. This happens with every single photo. It is quite annoying and it ruins the whole experience. I've tried selecting "Centred", "Scaled to Fit" and "Scaled to Fiil", under "When Presenting the Slides" options, with and without "Black Out Additional Monitors" option selected, always with the same result. Any ideas? Thanks. AK

What I want to do in Bridge is simply to open folders containing photos and then view thumbnails of the photos. I used to do this all the time with the older version. Please tell me how to perform this simple task with this damn new version!

hello,as I wrote in the subject, I need to know if it is possible to enlarge the preview size of the selected file in Preview panel.right now, the preview size of the adobe illustrator files is too small... thx

I am using Bridge 14.1.3 on an iMac with Intel 2020 i7 chip, Radeon Pro 5700 16 gig GPU, 96 gigs of ram  on Sequoia 15.1 In Smart Collections; when I open an image into PS 2024, do my edits, then save back to original folder, the new edits do not show on the image in the Smart Collection. I have to click Reveal In Bridge, then re add the keyword for that collection (the keyword is there but I have to delete it then re add it) then it updates in the Smart Collection, this step does not work from within the Smart Collection. Should it not be updating as I work?Note: I am not adding another image, I am editing an existing .psd image. If I add a watermark or adjustment layer I then have to do the extra steps of reveal in bridge, change something in keywords, then it shows the watermark or adjustment layer on the image within the Smart Collection.

metadata.applyMetadataTemplate() works in Bridge 12, the same code is broken in newer versions. I rely on this for several scripts, can this be fixed maybe?

Hello Scripters in Bridge - Metadata I'm looking for a solution to read the following IPTC field:"http://iptc.org/std/Iptc4xmpCore/1.0/xmlns/", "extDescrAccessibility"It should be appended to the existing content of the description using a script.Thank you very much for your helpTom

bridge does not load file, spinning wheel 

Cette version crashe au démarrage ! Problèeme : même, une fois que j'ai désinstallé Bridge 2025, la version précédente Bridge 2024 ne marche pas non plus !!!! 

I would like to create a Metadata Template on Adobe Bridge to add autorship and copyright to my pictures. However, when I open the "Create Metadata Template Tool" on Bridge, I can only choose between fields from "Camera Data (EXIF)" and "Video" categories. All other categories (such as IPTC, Audio...) are missing.   How can I make them visible to edit their fields? Thanks! I am working on Adobe Bridge 2025 (Version 15.0.0.397). 

Hello, I dragged a file from a finder window located on an external hard drive to a folder in my main HD opened in Bridge window and it was moved instead of being automatically copied as it should.   I believe this is bug.   Shlomit  

Hello Community. I am looking for some help. I have managed to add Filename to Title in the IPTC Core metadata of a bulk set of images. However the file name brought across characters I want to remove.E.gFilename: Amika Maak_.jpgTitle: Amika Maak_I want to remove the _ underscore so that I can use it as a caption in InDesign.  How can I bacth edit Titles in metadata to remove unwanted characters?

The Missing Files Window on macOS should not close and stay open when clicking the <Remove> or <Skip> button. Removing or checking a couple of missing files makes this an unnecessary tedious task. The other buttons <Browse> <OK> and <Cancel> work as expected.Additionaly a <Remove All> button would be helpful.

Is there a way for Bridge in preview, to show a BW version of a color images, thanks.

I'm on Mac Os Catalina (10.15.7), and I've tried with both Adobe Bridge 11.1 and 10.1.1.Adobe Bridge seems to be unable to load thumbs or preview any of my MP4 videos. I'm trying to use the keyword system in order to organize my research database of Ad Videos. I remember Bridge being able to preview videos. Most of the files are simple Full HD H264.I've already installed both 11.1 and 10.1.1, even tried bridge 7.0. Tried un-installing and re-installing, restarting system and resetting Bridge with Shift+Option. Also tried activating "Use Software Rendering" and purging cache for selection of a specific clip.  I'd appreciate some help 🙂

I used to be able to edit metadata in .mov and *.mp4 files in Adobe Bridge (keywords, date shot, etc). Seem that this is no longer possible.Don't recall which version that was (something like 5.1 or so).  Bridge now complains that it can't write xmp files. This used to work just fine (contrary to what some discussions claim that those file formats don't support this).

There is a major Issue with Adobe Bridge (12.0.4.286 ) in general now.. “”There was an error writing metadata to…””Can’t write Metadata any more in any version of bridge 12, 13, 14 and the latest 15  it just happens after the release of the newer version.  Version 12 has been solid!!My Workstation is a Mac M1 running Sonoma14.6.1.This is definitely a Adobe software issue… not permissions.. not OS related.. not HardDrive space related, not file Catch related, not Preference related.. already tried the usual suspects trouble shooting procedures..  the one thing I’m going to tried is to delete all the versions of Bridge and re Install the one that has been working without issues for years..V12Any Ideas…?  Thank you guys..

Hi, I encountered problems since the latest Br update. I got keywords under a new list with the name ‘Other keywords’. In this new extra list I cannot get rid of them to install the listed keywords where they should be shown.
