Bridge 2022: How to again rename paired RAW and JPGs with same name?

  • November 3, 2021

Just upgraded to Bridge 2022. I take RAW & JPG photos as pairs - same photo in 2 formats. I use Bridge daily to batch-rename photos.

Before upgrading to the new Bridge, I could select all paired photos and batch-rename in Bridge, and it would gave the RAW (in my case, .PEF files because I use a Pentax) and JPGs that were paired/identical the same name. (with different file extensions of course)

Since upgrading to Bridge 2022, that same process now renders every paired set of files as sequentially numbered files.

So now, instead of the same paired files being named:
Photo1.jpg and Photo1.pef

Bridge 2022 is batch-renaming those two photos as:
Photo1.jpg and Photo2.pef

Which creates confusion because it makes it harder to tell that the JPG and PEF are actually the exact same image, just rendered as different file formats.

How do I return to the prior method of Bridge giving paired photos the same main file name with different extensions?

Thank you!!

Hi,

 

The issue is fixed in latest patch release of Bridge 12.0.1, please install the latest build and confirm if that resolves the issue.

This problem is fixed indeed but a strange new thing happens now.

When in bridge I open a file 20211126_1530.cr3 (canon raw file) it opens ACR and I do a crop (and some other stuf) and open the file in photoshop.

There I do some other stuff and after saving it as a jpg I see i did the wrong cropping.

So I close the jpg in PS and go back to BR.

There I open the cr3 again and make a better crop and open the file again in PS.

Then the file is openend as 20211126_1530-2.cr3 and if you save it, it will save as 20211126_1530-2.jpg instead of asking if you want to overwrite 20211126_1530.jpg.

Huh what happened there I thougth and I closed all jpg's and reopened from BR; recropped in ACR and then it opened in PS as 20211126_1530-3.cr3.

Fault or new feature?

I just did some tests, and both in SAVE AS, and in SAVE, it keeps the original numbers, it tells me that they already exist and asks me if I want to overwrite them. It only adds a (- number) if I click SAVE A COPY.

It is not the SAVE or SAVE AS that is adding the -number. They indeed keep the original number of the open file.

The added -number is already there when the file is (re-)opened so it will also save with the -number added. 

I am confused because of the -number that is added by reopening the same file (remember I did close all files in PS).

The issue 12.0.1 it is good.

Yes, it solves it. I installed 12.0.1 today and it works correctly

Oh that is great! I will install that upgrade soon (when not on deadline) - can't wait to try it!

I have had the same problem.  In addition, when I did a batch rename, Bridge ignored the xmp files and did not rename them.  What a pain.  I found a workaround for that problem by not renaming in the same folder but instead doing a copy and rename in a new folder.  That didn't solve the pairing problem though.  After all the versions they have had that worked correctly, I can't believe they botched this one up so.

Yes! And of all the wonderful things Bridge does, I would think this particular issue would be one of the easier ones to correct with programming. It's just file naming.

I'll say upfront that I've read some, but no all of the previous responses, so excuse me if I'm repeating something that has already been said.

 

I will often shoot RAW + JPEG if I'm shooting for some customers like news media.  It is both a bacxk-up and a speed thing for filing for publication.  I use Canon gear, so I tend to use Canon EOS Utility to download from my cameras to a laptop if on the road, or my desktop at home.  I have though used the Bridge Downloader and just windows explorer on occasion too.  Those three options handle the file naming differently.  I don't have any cards with images on them right now to do this and be specific for each one, but sometimes the RAW files will come across as say 1L61234.CR2 and the matching JPEG files comes across as 1L61234_1.JPG.  When these all go into the same location on download and you open that folder in Bridge, you will see this.  If you select all the files and Batch Rename, you'll end up with different filenames for the RAW and the JPEG.  Different sequence numbers, not the same sequence number with a ''_1''  appended.  After that, no matter what you do, Bridge will not be able to associate those files together again.

What you need to do is use the Batch Rename to do a string substitution that removes the ''_1'' append, so that the filename preffixes are identical.  Once that is done, you just select the RAW files and the XMP and JPG files will be treated as a unit along with the RAW file.  I'll have to check this with the latest version of Bridge that I have here, but I'm in the middle of some other work.

I also use PhotoMechanic to ingest files directly from the cameras too.  It will rename both RAW and Associated JPEG files identically as well.  It is also much quicker to preview and tag images than Bridge.

I'll tell youy what else is different about the latest versions of PS and Bridge.  Have a look at y7our task manager if you're on Windows 11.  Is it like mine?  Never used to show all these processes.

I've the same problem, moving files:

All the years I could select the RAWs to move them to another location and the JPGs with the same name are moved together with the RAW. Now, since Brdige 2022, this doesn't work anymore. Where can I vote to fix this new bug?

I just had a remote session with Adobe trying to fix this issue, this is either a bug in 12 or an intentional feature removal gods why i dont know they would. The tech said he would pass it up to be addressed but we will see. As of now the only solution seems to be to stick with version 11, which shouldnt be a big deal as there were not any wow feature upgrades in 12

Thank you! I normally resist returning to a prior version, because it's counter-intuitive of course - the latest should be the best! But your reply here convinced me to just uninstall Bridge 12 and reinstall Bridge 11, until they get this problem fixed.

I just hope it wasn't an intentional feature remove. It needs to be back in Bridge 12 ASAP, and in future versions.

Same problem here.

Uninstalled Bridge 2022 and reinstalled Bridge 2021.

And then the link with photoshop batch processing did not work anymore.

So also uninstalled Photoshop 2022 and reinstalled previous version.

Now everything works again as I like.

I just discovered the same problem when I used Bridge 2022 for the first time. Here's another provisional fix until they figure it out:  After you upload your files from the data card onto your computer, organize by SIZE. Drop the RAW files in a separate folder and keep the JPGs where they are. Do the renaming sequence twice. Be sure to reset to zero when you do it the 2nd time. Then, if you want to combine them again they'll be names properly e.g. FILE_001.jpg, FILE_001.CR2 etc.

Great workaround for now until they fix it - thank you!! I had the same thought, and used it this weekend.

The only problem comes when a big batch of pics then has more specific subnames after the main name.

 

For instance, I will have a bunch of pics called:

 

11-07-21 Autumn tree colors 01.jpg

11-07-21 Autumn tree colors 01.pef

 

But as I'm naming photos, I often use Bridge to give more info to certain pics, like:

 

11-07-21 Autumn tree colors 11 with caterpillar.jpg

11-07-21 Autumn tree colors 11 with caterpillar.pef

 

To do that using the former Adobe Bridge was so easy!

 

But now, even using your wise workaround, it's so much more work - and would require me putting in exactly the same addendums to the name ("with caterpillar," etc) each of the two times I name photos, that it's a non-starter.

 

But thank you so much for contributing.

Adobe, please fix!!
