Location of Bridge CS4 scripts

[tbmaugham]

Could someone please tell me the location (on a PC running Windows XP Pro) of the Bridge scripts?

Thanks...

Start Bridge - Edit - Preferences - Startup Scripts - Click the "REVEAL" button
This will open the folder to where the script should reside

The paths for both platforms are listed in the Adobe Bridge CS4 JavaScript guide, which is part of the Bridge SDK. You can download it here:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/bridge/

Bridge will run scripts at startup from three locations, however, the guide incorrectly provides the CS3 path for one location.

YOUR STARTUP SCRIPTS FOLDER

This is the folder that the "Reveal Scripts" button reveals. This is a user-level folder, and only Bridge looks here for startup scripts--and only when you log in (each user may have their own startup scripts).

THE BRIDGE EXTENSIONS FOLDER -- this is a system-level folder, and only Bridge looks here for startup scripts. Really this location is intended for full-fledged node-extensions implemented in scripting.

In Windows®, the location is:

%CommonProgramFiles%\Adobe\Bridge CS4 Extensions\

Note that %CommonProgramFiles% is usually C:\Program Files\Common Files on most windows systems, though it may be C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files or on a drive other than "C" on some folks computers.

In Mac OS®, the location is:

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4 Extensions/

THE SHARED STARTUP SCRIPTS FOLDER -- this is a system-level folder: many Adobe Creative Suite apps may look here for startup scripts:

In Windows®, the installation startup folder is:

%CommonProgramFiles%\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\

In Mac OS®, the installation startup folder is:

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS4/
