New computer. New Windows 11. New downlode AdobeBridge. Get photos from camera does not bring up the import dialogue. Bridge recognises the camera( XT5) but nothing happens.

If I open a new window in Windows 11 of Bridge 2024, its NEVER fullscreen, even if the current window is.In Bridge 2022, a new window was fullscreen, if the current window was. Now I have to perform an additional click to maximize the new window - what's kind of annoying in productive environments. Please fix this bug.

When deleting in Image in the Film Stripe panel usung the cmd Del keys (remeoving also from Disk) The image with focus is 2 steps away - maeaning: if i want to see the Image directly after the deleted image, i  have to go one image back. It should go to image next to the deleted image. Latest Bridge version.   Regards Mikel 

Just updated to Bridge 14.01 from 13.04, and my custom output presets are missing from the output module. I still have v13 installed and they are showing up there. Why are they missing from 14.01 and how do I get them back? Intel iMac running Ventura

When clicking to zoom in full screen mode, the image also pans...but not always. It's some type of bug or problem. It's very irritating. The issue seems prevalent when bridge is "busy" creating previws, etc.Exiting and reentering full screen mode *sometimes* solves the issue, but not alwayus. Very frustrating.

I'm running Mac OS Mojave with Adobe CC 2021 apps. Bridge has been crashing frequently so I usued the CC uninstaller to uninstall Bridge and was then going the reinstall. But guess what, you can't do that with the present CC installer. Is there somewhere I can download Bridge Version 11 for Mac? The reason I don't upgrade the OS is I have a whole bunch of software other than adobe that will stop working when I do. Thanks in advance, Mark

HiI've just accidently deleted a folder of files within Bridge 2022 and  just a little peeved that there is no undo button, or are the folder/files in any trash bin anywhere on the system. Surely it's not beyond the ask to not have an undo or at least a warning message 'do you really want to delete" pop up? Luckily I have a backup from previous day but that's not the point, looking at previous posts, earlier versions used to put the files in the trash can, at least they could be recovered, quickly & easily. This seems like a retrograde step to me.Sorry to bleat, moan over.  

Bonjour j'ai installé bridge 2023 sur mon iMac ventura je n'ai pas accès au dossiers du bureau seulement les dossiers des périphériques que faire?

This short test script used to work getting a files description in Bridge, but now it fails on the line tha has: XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE. The error is XMP Exception: OpenFile retuned false. Anyone else having issues with this?     #target bridge if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) { ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript'); } var doc = app.document var thumbs = doc.selections for(var i=0;i<thumbs.length;i++){ var tSpec = thumbs[i].spec; var testFile = new File(tSpec); readTextFile (testFile) };//end for thumbs loop function readTextFile(file){ var xmpf = new XMPFile(File(file).fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE ); var xmp = xmpf.getXMP(); var des = xmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description").toString(); alert(des) xmpf.closeFile( XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY ); }    

Hello,This was a first for me after using Bridge for many years.I append a metadata template to a batch of Raw files.  The info is clearly there..I then move - through drag and drop -  my Raw selects to another folder and all the template info vanishes.I discovered a truly annoying workaround, which was to use the Move to in the File dropdown menu.Was drag and drop eliminated?Thank you 

Most of my ai. files are just showing up with the illustrator logo.   Most of these files are downloads from Adobe Stock.   I need to be able to see the previews.  I am on a Mac.  Will Bridge slove this problem?  I need to be able to view them from my downloads folder.   I just installed Bridge but it looks like it is not able to access my downloads folder.   Any help appreciated.  I feel like I mught be missing an obvious step.   Thanks!

Hi Community,bit if a strange one here. I run an PC and a Mac in my studio and am getting a completely different file size when making the exact same contact sheet sourced from the exact same images ??  the Mac make the contact sheet altealst 6 time a lager files size than the PC does. reading from the same images on my server. ?? anyone know what's going on here ??  for example, i just made an 11 page PDF contact sheet. The PC sheet was 4.3mb and the Mac version was 39mb and that's even at a super low res. 

(on Mac Sonoma)Background I am in the process to use Bridge to help restructure my 4tb media file libraries from 23 years of digital camera use. But it seems Bridge only access one folder level in a target disk for smart collections. Options I do not know about here?Process I have done so far.Started with exporting my old Aperture library holding 12k images in 800ish folders on 1ste level with several folders under each of these. This was impossible for me to handle manually. Found a hack to adjust Aperture so it run under Sonoma - and exported to a single level folder. Success. This sorted my 2000-2010 libraries.I have a period between 2010 and 2019 where I have camera specific folder structures on 1ste level. These I have manually lifted (puhh) to one level.I then have the time from 2020-2023(totday) where I have a common project file structure where source files are placed in a folder up to 4 levels below in the target disk. There are folders for about 100 projects from different ca

I have a Macbook Air 13" M1 (for specs reference). Every time I open Bridge it takes immensely long to load content, so macOS informs me that the app is non-responsive and suggests that I "force quit" the all or ignore. Please advise as this sucks! 

I Batch Renamed a hundred or so RAW files in Bridge and mistakenly chose to "Move to Other Folder" instead of copying them, but only some were moved (about 43 of the 150 or more files). I've tried searching by the file names and they're nowhere to be found. I saw a previous post saying that Adobe cannot lose files, but I can't find them anywhere. Has anyone been able to find them once they're lost?

How do I associate Windows Media Player with .mov files in Adobe Bridge? I can't find the Windows Media Player.exe. It is on my computer... somewhere. Thanks!

My Inspiron 7700 all in one computer with Intel Core i7 and Intel iRISx graphics does not support GPU acceleration required for Bridge.  With Windows 10, I was able to edit in Bridge until the latest Bridge update.  So, I downloaded the earliest version of Bridge (12.0.4) available - and I still can not edit in Bridge.  Any suggestions - or do I have to buy a new computer?

Can't open multiple windows in bridge  - and can't find way to allow it in preferences - any help?

Hi, I have installed a new Bridge and unfortunately the changes made to it make my earlier workflow very difficult compared to the previous version: - Enter works like a cursor in the content panel instead of opening files - preview colors of photos (all types of files) are completely different than displayed in PS. I tried to change the color spaces of the monitors, but it only introduced chaos and I don't know how to go back to the previous settings - enlarging the size of the thumbnaili using ctrl + scroll does not work, and the magnifying icon under the panel, e.g. "content", overlaps other icons if it is squeezed, making it impossible to use it - the overall layout is worse in my opinion and it cannot be adjusted to my requirements and habits I wanted to go back to the older version, but then the cooperation with the new PS does not work (e.g. image processor) and I think I will have to downgrade the PS to the previous version as well, so these new updates

Why does it take such a long time in Bridge 2024 (and 2023 and before) to show the subfolders of folders full of images?If I have a folder with about 1.000 image files, it might be acceptable to wait a little bit until all images are loaded from cache or the thumbnails are created.But why are not all folders shown from the beginning? There are no thumbnails/previews to load for folders. And often you want to navigate some folders deep and have to wait on each "level" all images to be loaded before the folders are shown.Even if you just expand the folder in the folder's pane it took a very long time to show the subfolders - even if there no thumbnail must be shown. Please correct this annoying behaviour and show the folder directly at first at no time.

Adobe FINALLY fixed some of the issues when Version 13.0.4 was released, and has put back the ability to have multiple windows.  Thank you.     HOWEVERIn Version 14.0.0 the ability to label and rate photos has been changed.  WHY??  In many, many previous versions of Bridge there was a check box "Use Ctrl for Labels & Ratings" at the botton of the content window.  That no longer is there - and I have been unable to change the very confusing custom keyboard settings to get that back.  ADOBE - WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO US??Can anyone advise a work around so I can just press a key 1-9 for labels and ratings?

I have gone through these forums as best I can, every other problem with this seems to be resolved by simply launching Photoshop or Lightroom. Neither of those have worked for me, and I'm not getting any error message. If I right click on an image, open in camera raw does not appear in the context menu. If I select an image and go to file, open in camera raw is grayed out. I have rebooted my system relaunched Photoshop relaunched bridge, nothing is making it come back. What can I do?

In some cases (not in every), if I rate some photos with 5 stars, the filter list is not updated properly.It still shows only "No Ratings" and not some with 5 stars ratings.This display remains, even if Bridge finished the "Creating Preview ..." and all that time consuming stuff in a folder. Windows 11, Bridge 2024 14.0.0.102

Hi,Having finally updated CC now that I have a new Mac, I find that in Bridge Thumbnail View the star ratings are no longer a row of stars but a digit and a single star e.g. instead of **** it's 4* .   It's much harder to use now, especially with my eyesight, and the rest of the star block is vacant so there's no display area saved. The current Adobe discription shows a row of stars, although that's the view I see in Details View only now.Is there any way to get the row of stars back in Thumbnail View? Thanks!-Michael
