Lock icon in top right corner of thumbnails

[Ramigrafx]

I have been looking at some of my old entries in Bridge and noticed that in some folders there is a lock icon in the top right corner of the icons. What does this mean?

Hi Ramigrafx,

Have you updated to Catalina on the Mac recently? If so, it's a permissions issue.

Let us know

No I am on a pc. It does not affect current folders . Just some from several years ago

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out. The lock icon shown at the top-right corner of the file indicates that the file is locked. When a file is locked, operations like applying labels and ratings, metadata, renaming, etc. will not work. You can right-click on the file and select the "Unlock Item" option in the context menu to unlock it. The icon will go off then.

Thanks,

Bridge team
