HiI have been receiving the following error today when I open Bridge in a folder containing various RAW photos. When I press ok Bridge closes. When I reopen Bridge in the same folder it behaves normally without any further issues.This error is intermittent and may recure when I switch to another folder, or it may work normally. This error message started appearing today and I don't recall having seen it before when accessing similar RAW files. My PC is standalone Windows 10 and the files I am accessing are all on internal drives - I don't have a NAS or any network drives. My current version of Bridge is 14.0.1.137 I have searched this forum but the only similar occurence was for someone accessing files on a server.thanks in advance. 

I spent the last three days "keywording" videos that are stored on an external HD.  This morning I realize that when I click through to the folder the videos are in and click on the video thumbnail, all the keywords I have associated (or tagged) with that video aren't "checked off" anymore.  It is like the vidoe lost its associated keywords and all my work of the last three days (probably 300 videos) has been lost.   Before anyone blames the hard drive, it works perfectly in all other actions and assigments.  My Mac doesn't have problem seeing it, reading it, or working with it.  Adobe Bridge also (obviously) finds it and "sees" the folder structure as well as the videos.   This is scary obviously, because that is literally the only reason I considered using Bridge to tag my 5 TB footage with keywords to find and use those videos. Please help

Dear everyone, we are facing some issues with the uploading process of images and the transmission of their metadaten. I can put the metadaten in Adobe Bridge, but when the pictures are download in the plateform they are just disappearing. Have you already faced this problem and do you have an idea to fix it? In Adobe Bridge the Metadaten of the image: In my computer in the properties of the same image: The properties of the same image after the upload on the plateform:I hope I was clear enoughBest wishes,Marie

Last year when Bridge 13 was launched the excitement of a new release soon disappeared after it was clear that the new version was not quite what people were expecting from Adobe. After trying to use Bridge 13 for a few weeks I had to revert to version 12. There were just too many bugs to navigate thru. When I was that Bridge 14 was launched, I hoped that some of the issues that the users reported were fixed, but the truth is that I can’t see much improvement.The UI is still bad:There is an inconsistency between Bridge and the rest of the Adobe apps.Why is the title bar white when all the rest of the interface is dark?When I create a new folder, the focus is not on that folder, so I must type the name “blind”, then when pressing Enter I get navigated to the beginning not to the newly created folder.The navigation on the panels like Metadata and Output Settings is harder because to collapse a tree you need to press the small arrow (most programs you can collapse the tree also by pr

Last week I posted a thread regarding huge resource spikes when using Adobe Bridge 2023 on macOS:https://community.adobe.com/t5/bridge-discussions/averaging-700-800-cpu-usage-on-adobe-bridge-2023/m-p/13403193 A few minutes ago I was greeted with this message regarding my system running out of application memory and my hard drive running out of space (attached). In this case it looks like Adobe Bridge was using 123.22GB of memory.  Again, any insights as to why this is happening and what I could do to prevent it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am using two Mac computers. I'd like to bring all my metadata templates to the new laptop from the desktop computer to use in Bridge when I'm on the road. I just installed Bridge CC 2018 on the laptop and I don't want to re-create all my templates. I'd appreciate any help.

Wenn ich in Photoshop Beta auf "in Bridge suchen" gehe, wird die normale Bridge geöffnet. Kann ich bei Photoshop Beta einstellen, dass auch Bridge Beta geöffnet wird, wenn ich "in Bridge suchen" anklicke?

I use an external hard drive to hold high-res images and vector files used in client projects. Bridge usd to work well.  Lately, it seems to crash while loading thumbs. Any wisdom on best settings - cache or otherwise- so images load without crashing?Thanks very much!

I can't adjust the light gray color on the entire Bridge,I am used to working with that Light Gray interface and since BR 2023 only have Dark or Light colors, but can't adjust them to be consistent only Preview and Content are changed brightness, it looks quite annoying..black too dark and white color too lightI hope the BR team will bring back the Light Gray interface applied on the entire panel. Thank

n Bridge, I'm trying to get my display to show in rows and columns. When I enlarge the thumbnails to a certain size, the display automatically switches to one long line and I can't deal with that display.. I've never had this problem until recently, and it doesn't change even when I click on the grid display at the bottom of the Bridge window next to the sizing of the thubnails..

Hello I have a Mac Mini M2 Pro and when I press the space bar on an image, Bridge open it in preview, but that is BLINKing .... Normal view and a gray view ... Anybody has any idea about it?

I created a contact sheet using Adobe Bridge CC.  I added image files, set up the page template and save the resulting file as a pdf.   the resulting pdf had three pages of thumbnails.   I would like to go back and modify that contact sheet --add some additional images and remove/rearrange some existing ones.  Is there a way to do that using Bridge or must I recreate an entirely new contact sheet from scratch.  If I try to open the PDF in Bridge using the Output workspace, it puts the entire pds file into one cell on the contact sheet layout., which is not what I want.  I need each image to go back into an individual cell of the contact sheet and then be able to move/delete those images and insert others.

Reinstalling Bridge, after a clean reinstall of the operating system, I can't seem to get the Labels to show under the thumbnails. I went to Edit>Peferences>Labels and checked the boxes but the info doesn't show. On my other computer that works fine. Any suggestions?

I've been using Adobe products professionaly for over 20 years.  Please stop making your apps worse by 'making them better'.  The new Bridge Content Tab behaviour is problematic since it doesn't actually load folders as users right-click and choose Browse in Adobe Bridge 2023.  It'll open one but not subsequent folders.  I've uninstalled it (now for the second time since the initial release wouldn't work with Image Processor in Photoshop). Again Adobe - your software is used by professionals who make their living and support their families with it.  Stop using your customers as a trouble-shooting platform to fix issues that should been caught in a beta program. Very frustrating.

HiI know I've done this in the past but cannot seem to work it out today.I have a series of images "_####_[layercompName].png".  I would like to remove the underscores and numbers.  The underscores removal is easy, but how do I remove the numbers (####) when they are different for each filename?  I would like the end result to be [layercompName].pngThe reason I have these filenames in the first place is that I have run the photoshop script "layer comps to files", and this adds a number sequence prefix.  I have tried to alter the script following various instructions I've found from trawling the internet (this one included How do you remove the number sequence when exporting layer comps to files? CS6. Windows 8.) but without any luck.  So now I'm resorting to batch renaming in Bridge.Thanks!

Someone mentioned that new window which was taken away in Bridge is back , but I cannot find it. thanks.

I mostly use Bridge to preview big tif/psd/psb files, nothing much else.  I have my preview settings maxed out for files sizes and it works fine most of the time.  Sometimes, a few of the files will never preview or stop loading a preview, clearing cache for selections doesn't work (sometimes it will trigger the preview to never load again).  I've tried making dupes, the duped file will act the same.  I've opened the files in PS, made a new file, copied the layers over, the new file will do the same thing.  I'm in a work/photo studio enviroment so these files are flowing through multiple computers before I touch them, but it won't be everything that's from the same shoot/other retoucher or something, it's just seems to happen randomly and it never comes back.I've been dealing with issue for years at this point, over multiple different computers and companies.  It just makes me want to smash my head into the wall sometimes as it's the only thing I really wa

When having two images side by side in review mode (ctrl+b), is it possible to get the magnifying glass to start at the excact same location on both images and have it's movement be identical? I recall in days of yore some Adobe software that did this, but can't for the life of me remember which or when..

Bridge Newbie here!I have several hundred hours of family videos captured over 3 decades, that have been professionally digitised (and therefore don't require much further editing to cut out problem areas, etc.) and are now stored all together in the Cloud in 3 main folders each containing over a dozen files. Most files contain 3 hours of video.What I am hoping to achieve is to create a bunch of key words - e.g. Country, year, activity, family members by name, etc. I will then watch each clip in the preview panel and as the video plays click on keyword(s) that are relevent to that portion of the clip. For example, if my son Peter is on the video from 14m 20s to 16m 5s, then I click 'Peter' on at the start of this segment, and click his name off at the end.My question is this, if I subsequently search for (say) "Peter" + "Italy" + "1997", will all the clips that meet these criteria be correctly filtered, and if I click any clip, will it start playing at the relevent point in the clip?Wh

Win 10...Updated Bridge to 14... In my previous version, I could Clear and Import my hierarchial keyword .txt file and it would bring in a nice keyword setup. But now, when I import that same file, nothing is even remotely correct...  and when I look at the .xml files it is using, one can see the difference... So, after Clear and Import... the .txt file that I've used for years in Bridge... if I go to user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge 2024 and open up the Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml file, this is what I see (beginning portion) Now here's what that same import of the .txt file imported, should look like... and has always looked like: (I rolled back my update... to Bridge 12... , 2022?) What the ___ is going on! If I look at the xml file in user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge 2023 I see the same deformed xml file but if I look at user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge 2022 the xml file is correct)Previous (pre-2023?) Bridge didn't butcher txt files like thi

Hello. In Bridge is it possible to independently change the Interface Appearance color themes (Set the Brightness of the Work Area) of the different work areas/panes? It seems the only option is to have the entire page either completely Black, 2 shades of Grey, or White. I find the lack of contrast makes quickly reading this window very difficult. (I have CC 2019 using Windows 7 Pro.) Thank you.

Hi, Good morning.I don't know about you, but I feel helpless that the Bridge search isn't working. I've tried with several criteria, searching external and internal disks, searching subfolders and nothing. What's the point of being able to put in Keywords if nothing works afterwards? Any solution for this? Thanks. 

all of a sudden today bridge wont open PSDs in photoshop. All of the image formats now say use explorer settings. Which is just marvelous because my explore settings are to open picture formats in bridge.Not only that, but photoshop isn't even available in the dropdown, meaning I have to manually navigate to photoshop.exe for all my image formats. And about that. Why not group all the sodding picture formats? There is free software that does this. Why am I so cranky? BEcause dear adobe  - this isn't what you'd expect of a billion dollar company, but mostly because its endemic to every bit of software you make, and multiply it by 5 apps and there isn't a week that goes by without trying to fix or workaround a bug like this.  

Bonjour à tous,Je visualise les disques durs connectés dans le panneau de gauche, mais pas leurs contenus. Y a-t-il une procédure pour faire apparaître ces contenus ?Merci pour votre aide,Daniel

I have a collection of about 600 images. How do I search within only that collection for a particular word in a title? I'd like to open the collection, and search for, for example, all files with "FMC" in the file name. Thanks, Phil
