Drop down menus for file names in batch rename not working in bridge 12.0.1

[STEPHEN22633184vxfn]

Hi

My workflow depends on being able to use "batch rename" in bridge. I note it was updated this morning to 12.0.1

My presets for filenames in batch rename can't be editted because the drop down menus no longer work.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem ? It was fine until the update this morning.

Thanks, Just came across this...How odd - I'll roll back.

Same thing happened to me. I had to go back to the older version to make it work. I can't work without this feature.

Clearly a bug in Bridge.  I went back to the older version and the bug went away.  Boo on you Adobe!!! At least the older version works.

[malcolm@mccorquodale.net]

I went back to 12.0.0.234 as well. 

I found a work-around for the drop down issue in 12.0.1.246. 

Step 1. Click on the dropdown.

Step 2. Use arrow keys to navigate within the dropdown selections

Step 3. After the desired item shows up, (and this is important), hit the enter key.

Having the same problem but this work-around works

Also having the same issue with Bridge 12.0.1.246 batch rename menus (Windows 10), but this work-around is working for me as well.

Thanks for posting this workaround! I thought I had tried this and it didn;t work but maybe I was not hitting the enter key. now it works! Thank you!!

It is unfortunate that we windows-10 subscribers to ACC have had to find work arounds to deal with this software update to Adobe Bridge.

I especially did not like having to rollback to a previous relase so I could get my workflow back on track and get my images to clients (I am a real estate photographer in Australia, working free-lance with 24 turn-around expected), on the the flipside I have discovered a great community of people who have suggestions to overcome issues and give great support!

I also note that since I have rolled back I will need to manually moniter ACC to check on available updates to Bridge.

Again, thanks to all who have replied.

[Royhessey]

Me too. Rolled back but so time consuming.

[Alan Maples]

Thank you for this workaround, this saves a lot of frustration.

Sunday - 13/03/2022 - 20:44 - THANK YOU - this has wqorked for me.

[Krakka]

Thanks so much for sharing.  It worked for me after lots of unsuccessful tries.  

[Keith23242116exw5]

Same problem her, but YES this works so thanks. How about fixing the problem Adobe?

[Luca_Sc]

I confirm this issue, drop down menu doesn't work, for rename but also for export, version 12.0.1.246 , Windows 10
If I roll back to 12.0.0.234 works fine

[Royhessey]

Happening to me also. I shall try an earlier version

[Ramigrafx]

I have just reported a similar  problem in Export in Bridge. It is on my main pc but not on my laptop. I tried uninstalling Bridge and reinstalling it but to no avail. From the comments here. Windows 10 all programs fully up to date.

[coreysdad]

Hi,

Best solution is to uninstall Bridge and then go back to a previous version
and install that. (...) on the side of the Adobe window will get you
there. Something of a pain, but it works. Remember to save your settings
BEFORE you uninstall Bridge.

Cheers,

Russell

Bridge Dropdowns not working for me after "upgrade"; Windows 11.

[EnergyPhotos]

ver 12.0.1. also broke everything for me. 

None of the drop downs menus worked.

Such a shame to release such a seriously buggy update!
The irony ... in updated descriptions it said "bug fixes"

Anyway i rolled back to 12.0.0 and it works fine, as always did.

[jbunds]

Right? And instead of fixing it, they just tell you to delete all of your settings and preferences and try again. How does that help our workflow if we constantly have to delete our settings a preferences and start all over again? How about they just fix it? Adobe products are becoming more and more a joke to use. I spend more time searching on forums on how to fix things than I do actually using the products.

[EnergyPhotos]

i doubt anyone from adobe reads these forums anyway.
maybe some "bot like" reading takes place

Hi folks

I have finally re-installed Bridge 12.01.246 on my windows 10 PC.

Using the mouse to access drop downs in batch rename doesn't work.

Some-one suggested using the arrow keys. That works for me, I can put up with it.

I pay what I earn in a whole shoot to Adobe annually, which sucks.

Come on Adobe, small mistakes in releases can be be forgiven, this one has had an impact on workflows around the globe.

You have a community of professionals

who have based a reputation of excellence on you - give us reliabilty in your own expertise and testing so that new releases are seemless and dependable, so that we who pay you, can confidently care for our own clients.
