Reset Labels (keep me out of the nut house).

Question

How do I reset labels? They've gone white and I DESPERATELY need them to go back to whatever color they were.

I reset Bridge (didn't work, shocker there... please stop telling people to do that, it rarely ever fixes the problem).

I've tried renaming them "red" "yellow" (even tried "Red" "Yellow").. and renaming them "Selected"... nada.

How do I fix it? I read it's somethign in the metadata... GREAT! I can't find the label info.Where do I access that info to fix/change it so it shows the right color? I'm literally losing my sh*t over this. Save me from the white coats, please.

Just a note on how labels work. A label is written into the file metadata as text, so (for example) "Select" is a default label. Its up to the individual app to assign/match a color to that label. Labels are arbitrary, you can use pretty much any label text. An app is also not automoatically limited to a small number of labels, Bridge in theory could support as many labels and colors as the developers wanted to add.

When Bridge finds a label in the file metadata, it looks up its Label assignments (which are set in Preferences) and displays a color if a match is found. If there is not a match, Bridge shows a white label.

The Bridge UI can only directly assign labels per the settings in Preferences, but a script could change the labels text in a file.
