When I select a photo in Bridge, normaly this photo opens in PS by dubble-click. Since de last update, the foto opens in Windows Viewer, and not in PS. In the preferences I can't find a link to change this. What can I do ?

    I think that I found the solution: sorry for my poor english (normaly I speak Dutch..). I went to 'Preferences' > 'Bestandstypekoppelingen' > With each of the file-types  and camera's I use, I did fill in 'Adobe Photoshop.exe', and now he opens the photo in PS when I dubble-click on the foto in Bridge..

    Thanks for your support !

    Sorry for all the comments but I am literally crashing like a bull in a chinashop trying to fix this terrible horrible problem that is unsolvable . I have tried everything and nothing makes sense.  I need absolute step by stop instructions because when I go to the file handling, it aks me to select a program file from my cmputer. Photoshop is not one of them. Only "Adobe" or something like that. It does not seem right. AT ALL and I know I will end up making this much worse.

     

    Going into Windows settings makes no sense at all either. Unless I am logged into adobe, I probably want the windows photo viewer to show up.

    The whole point of Bridge is to browse the photos more easily so what happened? Like I said, I need very extremely detailed instrucitons because nothing makes sense at all.

    And do I edit these preferences from photoshop or from bridge.

    I am not uninstalling and reinstalling these programs. There has to be a better way to do this.

    Reinstall Photoshop

     

    it will install the proper scripts in Bridge

     

    make sure the version of PS matches the Version of Bridge

    But the version numbers in Photoshop and bridge do not match. (I am not home, but the Photoshop is like 22.3 and bridge is something that starts with a  11.01). I wish I were home and could look, but they are not even remotely the same. How would I ever know if the latest version is not installed that matches Bridge. But yes, it automatically gives me a message like "phto shop is updated." So I guess I need to turn that off and never get another update as long as I live?? It makes no sense. How would ever know which version belongs with which?

     

    I guess it is another thing I have to live with and spend hours worrrying about.

    To answer my own question, yes. I do have to bypass bridge and open each and every file one at a time in photoshop. And of course these changes do not stick. WHAT CAN I DO. I NEED AN ANSWER TODAY. ONE THAT WORKS PREFERABLY!!!!

    [removed] WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS I AM SO AGGRAVATED. It is always something that I need to spend a day or so fixing because they broke it. Tere is no "open with option" I am beating my head against a wall and I can't take another day of this.

    R-click the file in explorer and select open with. Change the association to PS

     

    You should be good after that.

    When I do so, PS is not in the list of programs that I can use. And I don't want open photo's always in PS, the Windows Viewer is OK for me to simply look at photo's. Only when I want to use PS, I choose the photo in Bridge and from there to PS, in the past it was a simple dubble click. This possibility doesn't work anymore... When I go to 'File', I see a item 'open with', but is not active. The item 'Open' is active and when I click on this one, the foto opens in....Windows....strange...

    Maybe I should delete Bridge from my computer and re-install ?
