Questions

Hi folks,I'm just trying to write a little jsx script for Bridge CS6. How can I implement an event handler that will react if the user adds a new thumbnail (new file) to the current folder in bridge. I've tested it with this code, but it doesn't work:app.document.thumbnail.watch ("children", function(id, oldVal, newVal) {     $.writeln (oldVal + " to " + newVal);     // some code here});Thanks. Greetings

Hi,I've posted this in general discussions but no luck, I was told I might get better help here so here goes:I'm playing with a bridgetalk script to pass just one argument back and forth between PS and AI all run from Bridge, this in the future will be a key driver to the main script, I have all the components of PS scripts and AI scripts ready, now working on the workflow order. Due to asynchronous behavior I have to do it in this manner. Basically Bridge selects multiple folders containing multiple files and based on the type sends it either to AI or PS for processing then comes back goes to the next file and so on. I want it to process only one file at a time, raise the counter by one return it as a result and onResult continue on with a main function.The script I'm testing does it until the counter =10Here it is:It all works fine, but WHY am I getting time delays so different to each other. One time script will take 3 seconds, other times over a minute and it's not even performing

On ESTK, running over Bridge CS6, this fives me a function:$.writeln(app.document.keywordsManager.renameKeyword)I get on console:function renameKeyword() {    [native code]}How can I get the native code of that function?I do not know how the arguments are organized and how it can be used.I can also get my active key words like this:app.document.keywordsManager.serializeToXML()and I have also other functions I would like to test how to use, likeaddKeyword(??), renameKeyword(??), deleteKeyword(??)

I have looked around and have had no luck finding anything similar to what I would like to do. I am trying to batch rename sets of bracketed photos with something similar to the following:Scene-Bracket001-01001-02001-03002-01002-02002-03003-01003-02003-03I would like the scene number to just be a sequence followed by a sequence for the 3 bracketed imagesI am currently only taking brackets of 3 which should make this somewhat more simple. I have tried to write my own script by deconstructing others but I don't really know what I am doing and have not had any luck.If there is anything similar out there that you could point me towards it would be helpful.Thanks.

I'm looking for a script that will copy the filenames of files selected in Bridge CC to the clipboard. Does anyone have one?I did read an old post that referred to one and had a script - but it gave an error, and I think it must have been for an older version of Bridge. Also, it didn't include the file extension, which I would want to do.Thanks!G

First week or so of using Bridge CS6 all went well, now having lots of slow downs/freezes/delays that eventually clear up (when browsing a folder of files). Once I'm able to open a file in ACR performance is fine, but this is making Bridge unsuable for workflow. Is this a known problem and is a fix coming?JW

Hi AllI'm trying to find a way to change the selection in the content pane from the current thumbnail to the next thumbnail. I've had a look through the bridge referance and guide but couldn't find any clues. Does anyone know if this is possible and how I might go about it?Thanks

Sometimes I find it useful to have two or more Bridge windows open at once. I havent been able to figure out how to save such a configuration or load. The only way it seems is to open the first Workspace, then create the other one(s). Then do it all over again if (when) Bridge crashes.Is there a way to open and save multiple Workspace windows at once? I'm using Bridge CS4 on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8.

Is there a script which will add the 'Date Created' (DD/MM/YYYY) to the IPTC Headline, including a space at the beginning of the date? For example, a photo with the IPTC Headline "Football" would become "Football DD/MM/YYYY". Thanks.

Hi ! I have this script that works flawlessly but when i execute it on big video files ( > 1GB) bridge doesn't repaint and it looks like it's stuck. I would like to have a progress bar showing % remaining on the task and the name of the file being treated. Can someone point me into the right direction as my adobe scripting knowledge is not that great. #target bridge   if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {  descToTitle = MenuElement.create("command", "Log Comment to Description", "at the end of Tools");}descToTitle.onSelect = function () {            if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");                      var thumb = app.document.selections;           for(var s in thumb){     &nbs

Would is be possible to write a custom manual bridge sort file (hidden file)?The  idea would be able take a list of jpegs in a specific order and get  Bridge to to sort them according to the order on the list via preserved filename metadata.  Say an ordered list of images for an animated sequence?Any advice and or a script would be great!Thanks!

I've tried almost everything I can think of to set presentationPath to the folder I want, but no matter what I do, it always gets set to "Desktop".app.document.presentationPath="E:\Photoshoots";app.document.presentationPath="/e/Photoshoots";fold=new Folder("E:\Photoshoots");app.document.presentationPath=fold.path;app.document.presentationPath=fold; <---I know it's supposed to be a string, but I tried this anyway.Yes, the folder "E:\Photoshoots" does exist.I know this should work. I just can't see what I'm doing wrong.

I am using Ps CC and Bridge CC. I have created a custom visual watermark in Ps that has a transparent backgound. If I have the photo open in Ps, I can drag and drop the  watermark onto the photo and it looks fine.But when I try to use the Output menu in Bridge (I added the Output module yesterday), I can specify the correct psd file with the watermark under the "Add image" instead of "Add text" area in the Watermark sub tab under Outpuf, but the background of the watermark comes out white, so that the watermark is inside the white box. I want to batch process the addition Bridge. How cam I fix this? Thanks.Chris

Hi ! I'm fiddling with this code to copy the xmpDM:logComment field into the DC:Description field and each time i run it, it fails saying an error relating to : Unregistred Namespace.

Hi all,I have a project which involves adding metadata from a supplied .xls file to a series of .pdfs.  Obviously this can be done manually, but this project involves thousands of files.  I know that this is possible via scripting in Bridge, but I have very little experience with JavaScripting.   My skills are mostly limited to cribbing scripts I have found on the web and trying to adjust them to suit my needs.  So far I have not been successful.   My understanding is that exporting the .xls file as a tab delimited text file would be the best option seeing as how some of the fields use commas.  There are 5 metadata fields in all.  3 of them are standard fields (filename, title, author/creator) and 2 of them are custom fields (degree year, publisher).  It's the custom fields that I'm having the most trouble with.  Anyone have any thoughts or advice?  Thanks.

Does someone have a script to add "Copy File Name without extension" (and without path) to the clipboard in the context menu?I already have "copy full name and path" and "copy name with extension." I've tried to edit them but can't figure it out.Thanks,Drew
