Questions

I have a bunch of .ai files that show up differently in Bridge... some of them only show 1 artboard in the preview while other ones show all the artboards in the Bridge preview (which is the preferred behavior).  How do I force the Bridge previews to include all artboards in the .ai files?  

Today I noticed I can't open images from Bridge in Camera Raw or Photoshop on my Windows10 machine anymore. When I execute one of these commands Bridge freezes. Camera Raw does not open and I have to force Bridge to close in task manager.Photoshop opens but freezes in the image loading screen. Same here i have to force Bridge and Photoshop to close in the task manager.This happened before and after the latest update today.I cleared cache and did multiple reboots. I also tried the opposite way (in Photoshop, search in Bridge), this works fine, but I still can't open the image from Bridge in PS or CR.Any ideas how to fix this? Bridge v14.0.1Photoshop v25.2Windows 10, 22H2, 64 bitIntel Core i7, 32GB RAMNvidia GEForce, Asus Strix GTX1080

I've migrated to a new computer, exported the actions I've been using for years and imported them into Photoshop, where the work as expected. But when I try to batch process from Bridge using Image Processor, something I've done with the same actions 1000s of times, I cannot bypass the dialogue boxes asking me to OK them. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of automation. I've tried toggling the dialogue state in the action pallete, but no setting works to bypass them when in Bridge. I'm sure it's something simple that I may have even had to do before, but I'm a bit desperate to get this to work. As I said, the action itself is literally the same one I've been using for years, and it functions correctly on other computers, so I'm missing something in this new install.  Bridge 14.2.300Photoshop 25.11.0Ventura 13.6.9MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023

Im running windows 10 pro, and use different Canon SLR cameras but recently it stopped downloading the images from all my cameras. when I plug the camera in the download window pops up. shows the camera and attempts to get the photos. It will stay this way until i shut the camera off.  Ive tried resetting the preferences, checking the auto run setting and updating and reloading bridge.  

I often shoot tethered  into a folder that is open in Bridge - in previous versions ( when running in filmstrip mode for example ) Bridge would auto advance to latest incoming photo - now I need to scroll to see it .  It can be very frustrating on a dynamic fast shoot . Is there any solution / workarounds  to get this behaviour ( Bridge advancing  automatically to latest photo ) 

With the release of macOS big Sur (version 11), you may wonder if Bridge is compatible, or if you should wait to install the new OS update.   For upgrade recommendations and a list of known issues that we're aware of thus far, see Bridge and Big Sur | macOS 11.   If you run into any issues while using Bridge in Big Sur that are not listed in the above article, please let us know here in the Bridge community.

Is it yet possible to rotate JPEG2000 files in Bridge? I know that in the past it hasn't been...

With 3D objects becoming a larger part of workflows, I'd love to see support for previewing OBJ and FBX (at least) in Bridge, similar to the support found in Directory Opus. For those of us with large libraries of OBJs used in Kitbashing and archvis, this would be an amazing workflow improver.

Hello,After updating Bridge (14.1.2), the application recognises my external drive where all my personal folders are stored, but it doesn't display the tree structure, so I can't view any photos.I'm using an Imac with macOS Ventura 13.6.9I had the same problem with version 14.1.1.So I reinstalled version 14.1.0, which works normally.How can I solve the problem of updating to the latest versions of Bridge? Please note that all Apple accessibility settings have been checked and are correctly activated.Thank you in advance for your answer  

Is it possible to set different sort orders for different folders?I'd like to have some folders sorted by filename, others by date taken. However it appears when I set a folder to one of those, every folder then gets sorted the same way.Am I missing something, or is what I want not possible?

Hi, I am using a Mac BookPro, 16-inch, 2023 M2 Pro, running the latest Mac OS Sonoma 14.5. I would like to know if there is some way in saving raw image files (NEF)(edited) from Adobe Bridge, with the side car files (xmp files)(because of editing/adding meta data/etc.) so the xmp side car file is hidden, instead of visible in the file I store them to (maybe a setting someplace or something?). I know it is necessary to have these files because they carry the edited information with them, but I would like to not have them visible. So as not to have the added clutter, making, at least for me, it harder to look through the files with these raw images that have the xmp attached to them. Thank you for any help given.Dan

When viewing images in Bridge, I often get a horizontal scrollbar and it displays all the images in one row. I have zoom out in order to view them as more of a 'gallery / thumbnail' view. Is there a way to do this without having to zoom out? I'd like them to be large, but without side-scrolling

This feature is already in Windows (11).Something akin to this:The number is the date the folder was created import, generated by Bridge.Thanks 

Behavior of Bridge 2023 Workflow function is strangeversion13.0.0.652OSMacOS 12.6I'm using the Workflow featureAfter upgrading to 2023, it stopped working properly.I reset the settings and tried againHowever, even if I specify to include all meta data in the "Apply Metadate" flow, the information is not included in the exported data.Keywords, titles, etc.However, if you use the Export function to include Meta data, this will include Meta data correctly.Because I want to change the file name and outputI'm using Workflow, but it doesn't work properlyNow I use the Export function and then rename it.Is there anyone who has the same phenomenon as me?

As an example: I have Bridge open, showing the contents of a particular folder. I create a document (in any program, such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Microsoft Word, etc.). I save the document to that particular folder. The icon for the new document doesn't automatically appear in the folder in Bridge. It won't show unless I click on "Refresh" in the "View" menu in Bridge. In previous versions of Bridge, the document icon would appear immediately - as soon as I saved the document to the folder. I did check preferences to see if there's a setting in there. Unless I missed something, I didn't see any settings for auto-refresh. Thank you in advance for any advice. Bridge Version 14.1.2.300  Windows 11 Enterprise 22631.3958  Dell XPS 15 9520 

I am batch exporting multi PSD files (each a different dimension and at 72 ppi) to jpgs at 100% and another set at 50%. However when I check my JPG files, they are now at 300 PPI. Why is this happening if my file is at 72 ppi? How can I prevent. it.I would like to avoid multiple steps of exporting a set of jpgs to 100% and then having to export those jpgs again to 72 PPI.  Thank you in advanced! 

As 3D is coming to Adobe tools through dimension , Substance and now Medium  I would strongly suggest that bridge could browse 3D files   You can now see dimension preview on bridge and thats great   I'd like to see .obj and .FBX as well as other 3D format and be able to open them in dimension from bridge   I know it wont be for tomoroow but i'd really like this to be taken in account as ther is no great 3D viewer out there  

Hi, is that really true? I just recognized that changing sort views in Bridge is very/too rigid. You have to go to the View menu with your mouse! Often, especially in different folders for different reasons, I would like to change the order fast, for example, from the manual order to the ascending order. Now I'm clicking, clicking and clicking. - It is hard for me to think that there is not an easy way to use your own shortcuts, in the similar manner as in PS. Is this true??? Regards, Tuomas

I'm using the most current verion of Bridge (as of 8/15/24 with a recent update) and I just copied some images to a folder with original edited images.  I've done this three times today and each time I select Auto-Resolve if they have the same file name.  Which ALWAYS has ammended the copied file name with a single digit.  Today it REPLACED the edited images with a version of the copied one.  However the copied images are a lower resolution and when it replaced the edited version, it kept the high file size and resolution.So before I spend an hour of my time that I don't have today, to re-edit those images - is there a way to restore them or is this a bug?

Hi Everyone, I have a PDF dataset that has a very strange name format I would like to change.A broad example would  be: test01move0 (Current format) ---> TEST_mv-1 (Desired format) What I want the expression to do is:Capitalise the first four letters (test)Move the number to the back (01)Change the word move to mvDelete the 0 at the end The word at the beginning can vary so if there is a way of capitalising it regardless of the word that would be ideal.The underscore and hyphen I used in the example are also required. I understood this is a lot to ask without a lot of context, so if there is any more information people need to tackle this I am happy to provide it. Looking forward to hearing peoples thoughts.

I’ve been using Adobe Bridge for years, and I’ve encountered a recurring issue where my Favorites and Collections suddenly disappear without warning. I don’t rename or move any folders, so I’m not sure what’s causing this. Has anyone else experienced this or know why it might be happening?   

I am using adobe bridge as the photo archiving system in my photography institution where large number of photographs are produced. These photographs are to be archived for hundreds of years and i am afraid that the bridge archiving system wont last forever. So i need some of your suggestion, if the adobe bridge archiving system lasts for long period of time. Thank You !
