Network trouble.

We have two iMacs (OS 10.15.5) both with newest Bridge versions (10.1.1.166). One works as a server containing all the image data. From this I've been working writing keywords and captions the last three weeks without any problem. Now I switched to the other iMac and get the information "error whil writing metadata" (in german). I checkt all the User rights, all is fine. No chance to add anything to the Metadata of the pictures.

More strange: Returning to the Server iMac it didn't work either!! No changins at the files possible. always: "no access". After closing bridge onboth computers and restarting the server i could use bridge again, but still no access from the other iMac.

Last year I got the information Bridge does not work in Networks, but looking here in the discussions I see it should work!

Thats becuase Bridge on the server side has the file locked for use.

Bridge does not have a workable solution when using on a network.

Not sure where you got that advice. You can see files on a network, but sharing them cause issues becuase the Bridge app stays in memory and will lock access through the OS as a file in use.

On windows same thing except window has "share"violation issues.
