Folders in Bridge

Please can someone help me?

 

I've uploaded lots of folders in bridge which have many images in them.

Showing at the moment is each folder only with a date on them. Is it possible to show all the folders contents , so I can see each image from every folder on the main start up page, rather then jut a content of one folder? Basically so I can see 1000's of images at start up?

 

Thank You

 

Terry

Thanks for the replies .

 

All my images are named by registration , aircraft type and where taken , so hopefully I can search for them with this .

 

I use to use FotoAlbum pro 7 , but unfortunately they went out of business last year and I can't have this program on my new PC. This program was great and easy to use .

 

I'll tinker about with Bridge and hopefully can get my head around the program , old dog new tricks and all that !

 

Thanks again

@Terry5FD2 I use Collections to keep track of all my Aviation images on multiple drives.  Mine are also keyworded with tail number or serials and linked to the CASA data for those as well as the military serials lists.  Good luck with your project getting this sorted in Bridge.  I've got half a million images of aircraft sorted this way.

Thanks for the reply you have lots more aircraft images then me.

 

Thexm attached image is how I'd like bridge to look like, how do I get it please to default to these settings , I keep on having to tick show sub folders and I'd like the images to show the date I took the images with the latest first

 

Thanks

If I understand your intention, I can suggest that you move all your folders into one parent folder.

Select the parent folder then go to View>Show Items from Subfolders.

There is also, in the hamburger drop down on the Content Tab, the option to "Always Show Items from Subfolders"

Hope this may solve your problem.

Hi Erik

 

Thank you very much for reply and help. I'm not sure how to create a parent folder, but I've selected show sub folders and it has generated thumbnails for all 28534 images !

 

If I add further folders to the photo folder will it automatically add the images to the photo ( subfolders)? It has generated thumbnails and previews ?  Please see attached screenshot

Looks like you already have your folders in a parent folder, namely "Photo". If that is incorrect, just create a suitably named folder and drag all the other folders into it.
