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.

Viewing Collections is a bit quirky if you're new to Bridge. Once your Collection is set up, you click on that Collection and it will then go througfh the tedious process of displaying the previews. Once that is done you can then click on the Filter tab and you can use the Collection like a normal folder. A Collection is like a 'saved search' so it will take time to preview images. Collections containing more images will obviously take longer. I work on new images in just the folder I've downbloaded them to before putting them in my Collections. My Collections are more about finding images using a search on EXIF data or Keywords than about using them as a container from which to edit them. You'll see from my screenshot that I also have Collections for birds and things other than Aviation images.

Thanks Stephen and everyone else that replied, I'll do what you suggest , sometimes bridge seems to freeze on my PC for some reason?

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.
