Questions

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

I've searched and can't find an answer to this question.  How do I attached Keywords to the metadata of .avi files?Thank you!

I am using Windows, and I was holding off on updating Bridge because of the removal of the new window feature, as its very important to my workflow at a high volume studio. I saw the latest release reintroduced that feature so I decided to go ahead and update Bridge and Photoshop to hopefully the little bit of bugginess I was experiencing with Photoshop. Once I updated I kept getting an error trying to open anything from Bridge to Photoshop, so I decided to go back to the versions that were working. Now, no matter what version of Photoshop I run, when I try to Image Process from Bridge 2022, I get a popup saying to update to the latest version of Photoshop. This is very frustrating as it has put my entire studio on hold. Please consider professionals who make a living with your programs before making asinine changes that no one asked for.

When I try to load files into Photoshop layers from Bridge into Photoshop I get the message "install latest version of Photoshop to continue.." I have installed the latest versions of both. It worked fine before I last updated.

I recently Updated Adobe Bridge and now when I try to open the app i only get a blank screen. Has anyone else ran into this?

If I'm in full screen mode and add color label by num pad (Windows 11) to a photo, in 50% of the cases, the label is set but not shown. I then have to go one photo back and forth the update the label visualization.This is very annoying and unreliable - since I cannot be sure, if its just a display problem or wether the color label really wasn't set.

Hi, I am yet to navigate across all Bridge features, so I am still tweaking and fine-tuning my panels; nevertheless, I am facing some technical difficulty related to dragging and dropping files; ostensibly, it's feasible to drag and drop links, folders...etc  from  Bridge to Windows OS directories, but not the other way around.  Is there a way to unlock this feature if available, to cut both ways, so to speak?P.SScreen record attached   

Since updating my mac to sonoma 14 Bridge no longer works. It opens as a white screen with balck windows and no text, nothing!Ive updated to the latest version but to no avail.Can anyone throw any light on this issue please?

So I had exported a few jpegs from their raw files using Adobe Camera Raw. They would show up in my windows finder, but in Bridge, they were invisible. Expect for one, which was made via Adobe Photoshop. The others, made through ACR, would not. I tried various things, but nothing worked, until I checked, "Show items from subfolders". Then, the jpegs showed up. However, those jpegs are not in a subfolder. They are in the same folder as their raw files. What gives here?

I broke the filter panel. It no longer presents me with the top atributes that distinguish files in a given folder. The Filter panel is empty.I suspect it is releated to me trying to install "Adobe Scripts EXIF Tool," or part of it.Disabling all scripts (Edit > Preferences > Startup Scripts > Disable All) solved the problem after restarting Bridge.I turned scripts that I recognized back on and things are still working fine.Here are the scripts that I'm leaving off for now. One of them is likely the cause of this problem:DNGConvertFilenametoTitleFindCurrentFolderListExportHDR Efex Pro 2JPEGMiniExportLanuchFolderMultiSearchPlusPDFExportTextPreviewUtility Pack Prefernces PanelWindowSync Thanks.

I did not authorize Bridge to access files on removable drives, and changed my mind. Now the drive shows up, but none of the folders & files do. Any suggestions?

I store all my images on external hard drives. However, since my last update a while ago, Adobe Bridge has been experiencing freezing issues when I attempt to delete files. It appears to struggle with the deletion of large volumes of photos all at once, causing it to freeze immediately. Consequently, I am compelled to perform this task in smaller, time-consuming batches. Unfortunately, it does not permit me to select a file containing all the photos to be deleted or to enter the file and delete the images, as it tends to freeze when I attempt to delete more than 100 images at once.

In Bridge most of my files can be seen as thumbnails. But a number only show the Photoshop logo. They open as normal when I click on the. Mainly with the larger files but not always.  Information please to stop this annoying problem. Bob Moore

Hi guys,when I use the scrolling wheel with my mouse (Windows 10 Pro), for example to scroll through the folders from top to bottom, I only move forward slowly. it scrolls extremely slowly. The same in the assets window, if I scroll through many images, I also advance slowly. I already scroll my index finger sore.The problem has come with an update of the 2023 version. With the 2024 version it is still the case. On my old 2022 version everything is fine, and the scrolling is still normal.Does anyone have an idea what to do, or is this simply a bug?Thanks!

just to preface this, i am in a photography class and my professor requires us to rename all of our raws, save the psd file of our finished images, and save our finished imagea as jpgs. so i had a psd file in a folder with my raws and finished jpgs. i didn't realize i forgot to rename them before saving my psd files and creating my finished jpgs, so i went to do that. and after i did that, my psd file was just ... unaccessible. in explorer it said the image was an XMP file despite it being a psd before. in bridge, it says it is a psd file but will not open in photoshop. i went into photoshop to see if i could open it from my recents, but when i opened it it said it had been deleted or removed. but it was never in my recycle bin, that was the first place i checked. i'm trying to use windows file recovery to see if i can somehow get it off my disk but haven't had any luck yet. does anyone know if i can find the deleted file in bridge? using a lenovo ideapad 3.

I can't stand the dark background, I prefer the middle grey. Do we still have the ability to change it?

Normally I upload my images opening in bridge and do basic editing by opening from bridge in to camera raw, today I find I can't do it.  There is an option, but it is not live, I'm on a pc so tried ctrl +R, again nothing, so I went into creative cloud, it says camera raw is one of my apps but there is no way to access it.Anyone got any ideas?Thanks

Is it possible to add the Metadata Description field as a panel by itself? The Description Field is my most frequently used field. Flipping back and forth between Filmstrip and Metadata (or Essentials) Workspaces takes a lot of time. Putting my most frequently accessed metadata field into a panel all by itself would save me a lot of time.I see there is a way to add a Metadata panel, but it comes with too much space overhead.See image: 

*Sigh*. I installed Bridge Beta 14.0.1.128 and now Adobe Camera Raw's interface is all gray. See attached screen shot.ACR works fine with Bridge 14.0.0.102., so something is messed up with Bridge Beta 14.0.1.128I'd love to give feedback on Bridge Beta 14.0.1.128, but it's worthless if ACR is not compatible with it. Very frustrating.
