How to preview psd files in Bridge?

Hello everyone,

I understand the frustration many of you might be facing when trying to view .psdt files, especially when dealing with a large Adobe Stock library. Unfortunately, Windows doesn't provide a built-in option to display thumbnails for .psdt files, making it challenging to quickly identify and select the right file without opening each one in Photoshop.

I've discovered a workaround that can make your life a bit easier, especially if you have a well-organized structure of parent and subfolders for your files. Follow these steps:

1. Create a Text Document:

   • Navigate to the parent folder (e.g., "Mockups").
   • Create a new text document and open it with a text editor.

2. Paste the Following Code: (from @4628292 to .pause)

   @4628292 off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set "sourceFolder=%~dp0" set "targetExtension=.psd" set "currentExtension=.psdt" for /r "%sourceFolder%" %%f in ("*%currentExtension%") do ( set "filename=%%~nf" ren "%%f" "!filename!%targetExtension%" ) echo File extension change complete. pause

3. Save and Rename:

   • Save the file and rename it to "anything.bat" (ensure it has the .bat extension).

4. Execute the Batch File:

   • Double-click the batch file you just created.
   • This will automatically convert every .psdt file to .psd within the specified folder and its subfolders.

Now, you should be able to see the converted files in Bridge, making it much more convenient to browse and select the right files without opening each one in Photoshop.

Note: The batch file specifically targets .psdt files, so it won't interfere with other file extensions in your folders, such as JPEG or other resources.

I hope this helps streamline your workflow. Let me know if you have any questions or encounter any issues.

Best regards,

psdt do not embed a thumbnail preview.

Bridge cannot preview PSDT files. Why, I don't know.
