Hello, I have an issue with Bridge 2020 that I did not have with the 2018 version.

I want to rename a photo just with a space bar. It worked before but not the 2020 version. Is there a solution?

Thank you

Hi, must it be a spacebar, or several for a particular reason, such another script or program?

If it is for the ease of use, typing any letter could work, too.

If you desire a transparent character, maybe ATL+255 could work?

BTW, why don't you use a more recent version, such as 2022, or 2023 (knowing that 2023 does not have multiple windows, but gained multiple content panels)

Hi, I can`t get the new version with my employer...

ATL+255 did not work. We use to do one, two, three, etc space bar so that the photo will be rename and there is nothing under when we made an album to print it. We have to show the name of other photos so it's not possible to rename them with an other caracter.

Upgrades are free, your IT people should be able to install them for you. Make sure you keep older versions and don't remove them.

You'll probably have to manually rename files if you must have the space character.

Something is a bit confusing with your plan. If you name every file with "(space).jpg," at the 2nd image, you'll get a message saying that there is already an image with that name.

In addition, ever since the beginning of Bridge, the way you advance from image to image when renaming files by hand has been the tab key. In fact, if you select the name of a file, change it, and hit the tab key, you automatically go to the next image with the name already selected.

Lastly, if the space key is OK for your needs, so should any key. So you could call each image "m," or "l," or any letter key should do. How you get past multiple copies of images with the same name in the same folder is something else you'll have to deal with.

On the other hand, you can use the "Batch Rename…" tool, which will automatically advance numbers to the images (m-01.jpg, m-02.jpg, etc.

I'm not following. Space Bar loads the full screen preview.
