Can you limit the number of deletes Bridge will undo?

New Here ,
Feb 20, 2025 Feb 20, 2025

I use Bridge to cull my photos  (and rate for processing) after a shoot, occasionaly I will delete a shot a actually want to keep, if I go to 

Edit/ undo delete

it will restore ALL the last sessions deleted shots, which means I have to cull all over again, I'm pretty sure previous versions only "un"deleted the last shot, is it possible to set a limit on the number Bridge will restore?

If you are on Windows you can use the OS to selectively restore whatever you want from the recycle bin as long as you haven't emptied it.

I can't speak for Mac systems but presumably there is something similar.

Unfortunately my recycle bin doesn't always show all the files and often not the most recent , I've tried that already. I was hoping for a setting hidden in Bridge, much like the old undo levels in photoshop.

I can't see why the Recyle Bin would not show all of your deleted files unless you have at some point chosen the option to "Empty Recycle Bin."

For the record, everything Erik has said for Windows does apply to the Mac as well.

 

One small addition (and this applies to the Mac, but I am not sure about PCs): if you trash a folder, all of its contents are trashed as well. So, if you are looking for a file and see a folder, look in the folder because the individual file will be separate from the folder. However, if you delete every file in a folder AND THEN delete the folder, they will show up in the Trash can/bin as two separate items adjacent to each other.

I started with a freshly emptied bin to check what was going on, and it still didnt show all the deleted files, (the bin size is not restricted and show all files is enabled)   though when I undid the delete in Bridge all the files were restored, but that's really irrelevent (or would be if there was an option to limit the number of "undos" in Bridge).

You have't said whether you are on Windows or Mac.

If Windows, this article may offer some help.

Also, where are the files located? On your computer or an external drive?

Hi @kittee47 ,

 

Thank you for your feedback.

 

We are unable to reproduce the issue on our end.
If we delete files one by one and undo, it will restore last deleted file and if we delete multiple files at once and undo, it will restore all the files.

 

Please share the screen recording of the issue at sharewithbr@adobe.com and mention this thread. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,
Bridge Team
