Collections removed upon update to CC2018

[Kieran P Egan]

Hi,

I've just updated Bridge to CC2018 & upon the first launch I was asked if I wanted to import settings from the previous version (I opted for 'yes').

However, any Collections I had created in CC2017 have now disappeared. I don't see an option to import them (nor can I find them on the system)... are they lost forever or is there some way I can retrieve Collections created in a previous version?

(I'm using a Mac running OSX El Capitan).

Thanks,

Kieran

Check your resource folder:

/Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC/Collections/

and make sure they are in the proper folder.

Thank you for your response.

However that folder does not exist on my machine. (neither did I delete it!)

Therefore I assume that the upgrade removed that folder???

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

It may have but that seems odd on Adobe's part. Do you have a time machine backup that you can revert to?

I will look at that alright, thank you for the suggestion... but certainly I was surprised that the update process didn't at least warn about the possibility of losing  collections. I'm a bit disappointed by it, it is an inconvenience - but I'll get past it  😉

Just to be clear - change the bit in red to your account/username:

/Users/<your-username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC 2017/Collections
