Bridge Autosave/Recover Edit Work

[DMeaney]

I was working on a batch of photos in Adobe Bridge when I accidentally hit my hard drive cord, which lost the connection for a second. When I went to hit 'Done' a message box came up that said that the files couldn't be found, and all of my edit work was lost. At least everything since the last time I hit 'Done'. It was two hours of work and hundreds of photos that I had to redo. I spent awhile searching for some kind of autosave or recovery option but none seems to exist. Am I missing something? Is there a way to have an autosave on like there is in Premiere so that if something happens, the work will be saved as I go? Or is there a way to recover that data so I don't have to redo it all? I can't seem to find an answer to this. If someone could help me, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks,

Bridge does not perform direct image editing, it hands that off to ACR or Photoshop or another application. Bridge does perform direct edits to metadata on rendered files, or to filenames using batch rename etc.

So, can you describe in more detail what “work” you were performing and what file formats the images were?

Such as setting Camera Raw adjustments to raw images, or keywording JPEG files etc.

If you are working with raw camera data, are you using the Camera Raw Database or XMP sidecars to store edit information?

I was editing photos in their RAW AWR format. I was deleting some, but the majority of what I was doing was tweaking size, colour etc. When the error happened, what I was left with was what I had begun with just the unedited pictures - or specifically from the last time I had clicked 'Done'.
