I just came across a something weird. For some reason Bridge is not reading the XMP sidecards of RAW files. I can see that the XMP files are in the folder but they are not recognized. I remember having spent several hours editing those photos some months ago in the same computer using Bridge and Camera RAW. However, the folder where there the issue appreas, the preview images do not get updated and opening photos in Camera Raw do not show the edits in the side cards. What it is even weirder, the XMP files seem to have no information about the edits that I did.

What went wrong in Bridge? I do not think there is a way to recover the edits though.

xmp's not recognized in Adobe Bridge.

Just came across this same issue....did you ever resolve it? just finished editing a wedding, copied about 25 RAW files out of the directory. Now all of them do not recognize the xmp files.... freaking out

Nope, I did not solve it. The infomration from the XML files was gone so I could not recover the edits I did to the photos. Very disappointing indeed. I would suggest you to open an XML file with a text editor and see if your edits information is still there. If it is there there might be a way to make bridge recognize the XML files. But if the edits info is not in the XML file... it is gone 😕😕

Ok Thank you very much.

I had copied about 25 files out of that folder into another one and then
the problem occurred. Luckily it was one of my smaller weddings, about 350
images and not a bigger one.

Thank you for your quick response.
