Question

location of files on the pc that bridge can access

I have a library, I think, that is called "gallery" ,  I cannot find a way to locate that library on my PC.  How do I find it.  Plus, is there a way to show the complete path to a photo on the screen.   I am using BRIDGE

Using the term "library" makes me think of a database, not a directory/folder.

 

What method or program created this "library" that you think might be called "gallery"?

 

Try searching your drives for an image name within this "library".

 

Bridge is just a file browser, it's not a DB as used by Photoshop Elements or Lightroom Classic.

The "Gallery" of photos just appeared on the screen. I assumed it was a
library of photos. I somehow "lost" that window pane and I want it back
because it showed me 3500 pics and I want to know where they are.

Best regards,

Garfield

Perhaps you have lost the main content window... Try:

 

Window > Content  > Desktop (or whatever browse location required to show the required files)

Look under "Window" and make sure you have "PathBar" selected.

Then you will see the Pathbar showing the path to any selected file or folder.

I am not familiar with "Gallery" on the PC system either.

HI, @neydafcm, I can help you with the 2nd question, but since I'm on a Mac and do not know the PC system, you'll have to wait for someone else to help you on that.

 

To find the location of an image you are looking at, look at the Path Bar; it shows the breadcrumb trail of what you're looking at, such as this:

 If you do not see that, then you can turn it on from the Window Menu, as shown here:

 Good luck on your first question, sorry I cannot help you on that.
