How do I add the WebP file format to Adobe Bridge 2022's File Type Associations list?

 

Thanks!

    There is not a supported way to do so, however you can edit the "Adobe Bridge Opener Preferences.xml" file that should work.

      Thanks! Adding the following line (in alphabetical order):

      <item description="$$$/Bridge/OpenersXML/Description/WebP=WebP" extensions="webp" app_name="Photoshop">

      to file

      "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge 2022\Resources\Adobe Bridge Opener Preferences.xml"

      worked just fine.

      (Admin privileges are required to replace the file.)

        If you copy the WebPFormat.plugin to

        Applications/Adobe Bridge CS6/Plug-Ins

        then you should see the WebP previews in Bridge CS6.

         

         

         


        Hello Jeff and thank you for the reply. I have just copied the plugin to that pretty obvious folder -which I'd overlooked due to the Photoshop text addition *Voodoo* to the preferences, so thought it would be equally arcane for Bridge.
        My Bridge Plugin directory contents are now the identical to yours, alas, webp formatted images are still blank thumbnails.

        I right clicked and *purged Cache Images* in the image directory, then in preferences I purged *All* image caches. 
        Alas, no change.
        Is there another step? Or way to *register* the new plugin in *something* so it is picked up?
        And are you using the same plugin as the One I used above?
        Thank you for the advice so far.
