BridgeCC 2020 Contact Sheet Automation

[Polycontrast]

I use the Bridge Output tab to create custom constant sheets. Is it possible to automate this task so that when the thumbnails in Bridge are selected and a keyboard shortcut invoked, a contact sheet is created bypassing the Output tab (adding the thumbnails to the canvas and export the PDF)?

Sorry but the Output section is not scriptable.

Actually I have made it scriptable by creating a custom template and running pdf output commands. I'll be releasing this as part of an update to my utility script pack on a Adobe Exchange.

My script lets you edit header and footer, choose the output template, apply a metadata template to the finished pdf, and return you to the previous workspace when done. I also have auto-replace of a date tag to insert the current date if desired.

i don't have a stand alone version at present but stay tuned.

Each time I log in Windows I get Creative Cloud balloon notification in right bottom corner of screen Bridge Utility Script Pack has been updated. Is there way to turn off this message?

I think you have to turn off syncing that on the Adobe Exchange page. They don't explain how it works for developers but apparently, the CC App keeps downloading it. I think it's a bug. I get the same message.

Please tell me where at Adobe Exchange page I can find syncing.

I think if you uninstall it will stop trying to redownload it. And report the bug to Adobe.

No notification after uninstallation and restarting computer.

So the only way was to get rid of completely of SUP for Br.

I think just doing "uninstall" on the Adobe page should work. I don't know how their system runs and I have had problems with communications to the Exchange team (surprise.)

Thanks for the update. I was not able to install the Script Utility Pack from Adobe Exchange or using the Anastasiy’s Extension Manager.  The folder Scripts Utility Pack does not load in the Bridge Startup Script folder.

Is there another way to access/install the scripts?  I would like to test the scripts.

There is a pdf help file on the Adobe Exchange page with directions on how to install it.

[Polycontrast]

Got it, I was able to download the utility pack from the Dropbox folder and do a manual installation. All the scripts work well. Many Thanks!
