How can I use batch rename and string substitution in Bridge to find a variable length date at the beginning of the name and replace it with the YYYYMMDD HHMMSS and leave the string after it the same for each image? 

For your information, many scripts created by Paul Riggott are now posted on Github at this address: GitHub - Paul-Riggott/PS-Scripts: Photoshop ScriptsAs many of his scripts had been created as examples or to help others, I'll scour this forum to reconnect the scripts to the posts, as his website is not up anymore.Paul shares many insights and knowledge with this community, I'll try to correct the links to the new location of his scripts in the various discussions.

I would like to know where Bridge File Info is located in Windows 10.  I will have to do a fresh installation of Windows and all programs so I want to be sure that the information which I have in file info is in the images. Is it saved to the image? Thanks for any advice you can provide. 

Hi,We just installed the new version of Bridge (9.1.0.338) and the first thing we noticed is that when editing, if you delete a file, Bridge no longer auto advances to the next image and if you hit an arrow key, it just jumps you back to the beginning. We tested this on two work stations, and the same issue occurred on the second machine after the update. I searched for a preference but couldn't locate anything. For the moment the workaround is to open batches of images in Camera Raw and then edit there but that seems to inefficient, at best.Anyone else see this behavior and/or know how to fix it?Thanks,Brion

Move to just failed to change directory for 17 PNG files (less than 2 MB each). The app froze for minutes without recovery – I had to kill it with Task Manager.Hard to believe that such is at all possible, given superfast NVMe disks (can write several GB per second) and 64 GB RAM. Please join forces to optimize performance. It in this state isn't suitable for professional work.A similar issue was recently reported for Mac. The problem seems to affect all platforms.  [Personal content removed by Moderator.

We often have to apply Metadata from various templates, yet we can't automate the process. It would help us to assign user-created templates via keyboard. Example: The custom shortcut Ctrl+Shift+M could mean "Assign Metadata template Manufacturer-Images" .If you cannot directly target a Template 1, Template 2 etc via ID one might pop up a dropdown to pick from. @nikunj.m  Mods, please leave this staff-ping in place.

The Context Menu items Move To and Copy to in the latest Beta show a highly irritating behaviour: The folder preview (called from Windows system) appears empty. Users could get the impression that content in the target folder got accidentally deleted. Indeed, data inside target folders is just fine, yet the implementation in Bridge is faulty. Steps to reproduce:Create or reuse any testfolder that already holds some files.Pick one or more files and select either Copy to or Move to command from the context menuTarget testfolder (using the browse functionality)Testfolder will appear empty.Please fix soon.

As versões 13 e 14 do bridge estão consumindo toda a internet. Tive de fazer o downgrade para a versão 12.0.4 (que ainda encontra-se disponível na CC). Moro em uma região afastada da cidade e tenho internet à fibra de 100mb, (download 10mb/s). É notável quando estou navegando pela web ou fazendo algum download, abro o bridge (v 13, 14) e a velocidade cai instantaneamente. Não sei se é algum bug do bridge, mas acredito que não deveria consumir tanta internet.   

If you search for files by e.g. a term (contains filename), and then want to move the found files to another folder, the bridge freezes. The problem exists since the Multiwindow Function starts.No Problems with Bridge 2021 or before System: Macbook Pro M1 Max Ventura & Monterey

Hello, I'm completely new to Adobe Bridge and I'm in need of a small help. So I had 200 plus photos (1:1 ratio each) to print. So in the "OUTPUT" section in Adobe Bridge, I have made 12x18-inch pdf (with 4 columns and 6 rows). So, I'll need to cut the pdf after I get it physically printed. My main question that, how do I add custom bleed or crop marks when I export the file so that I'll have a guide to cut it into individual photos? Thank you!

I have been tryintg to upload some files from a memory card to my computer using Adobe Bridge 2024 (Version 14.0.0.102) and am getting a Out of Application Memory message and requiring a force quit of Bridge.  This is a new problem that just started today and I have been using Bridge 2024 regularly for the last few weeks with no issues.   In searching the community I see that there may have been a solution for this in the 2023 version but I see no similar solution for the 2024 version.  I have tried renaming the file in the Bridge Cache Folder and relaunching the app (Bridge 2023 solution) with no success.   I have also tried re-installing the app and the problem persists.  My computer is a MacBook Pro M1 Max with 64 GB of memory.  My MacOS Version is Ventura 13.5.2.  Is there a solution for this problem? 

I would like Bridge to simply preview all file formats when double-clicking on the file, like it does when pressing space-bar. Is this possible?

The attached dialogue came up and i want to ask what exactly does Purge Cashe do?

Seit Update erscheinen die Vorschauen nur bei 3 Ordnern.Beim Ordner Dokumente habe ich seit 3 Tagen nur dieses Icon.Was bedeutet das?

Hi, just installed Adobe Bridge 14 (and Photoshop 2024). (at least the Photoshop has a mac looking interface, where are the Bridge I clearly  windows look) and now when I use Bridge to look for photoshop files in folders, some folders DO NOT show the files names of Photoshop files within some folders. (a few folders with non photoshop files do show file names on non photoshop files in a folder) while I can still see the files, I often add a 'postfix' to a name to mark wick version of a file I am working on. (that I now cant see) so when and where and how will I get my file names back please adobe.?Sandy Barrie.

Hello,   I can't use keyboard shortcuts to label or rate an image. I checked "use Ctrl for labels and notes" but no action, neither using "CTRL", nor unchecking ""use Ctrl for labels and notes" and typing the number on the keyboard It was working perfectly before the 2023 version change.   Bridge version: 13.0.0.562   System configuration: HP ZBook Studio G4, I7-7820HQ, 32 GB RAM, Windows 10 pro 64 bit Version 21H1   Many thanks for your support   Jean-Jacques Massey

How can I access my shared published files within bridge? For example, an Indesign file with comments?

About 2 days ago Bridge crashed so I reopened it and since then Search function doesn't work. This is pretty much the only feature I use in Bridge so without it the program is worthless to me. macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6, Retna Early 2015Adobe Bridge CC 2018I have found lots of other threads but none with solutions that work.Find Criteria: Find "search term" in "Computer" and all subfolders with Spotlight Search: Computer.No results no matter what is searched.I have tried the Fund "Include all subfolders, Include Non Indexed Files"I have also tried deleting cache.I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling.No luck. Thanks for your help.

Hi All, I just upgraded to Mac OS Sonoma and am trying to run Bridge 14. So far all I get is a mostly white screen with some menu items at the top. What is the status of functionality between Mac OS Sonoma and Bridge 14? I see it listed in Adobe support as compatible but so far, that does not appear to be the case. Thanks Kathryn MacDonald
