Re: Adobe Bridge - can't drag and drop folder to open in Bridge

(Sonoma 14.0 - Bridge 2024 / Photoshop 2024)

Hi all,

If Bridge is closed and I drag a folder on the icon, Bridge opens normally and so does the folder. If the Bridge window is still opened, I can drag and drop any new folder onto the icon and it works perfectly. BUT, if I minimize Bridge (red button) and then drag and drop nothing else will happens. The Bridge menu will appear but no window opens no matter how long I wait. I have reset the Preferences as suggested above but the behaviour is not fixed.

Thanks.

    I have the same issue. I have to open a previous folder on Bridge just so I can drag&drop/open a different folder. So, When I drag/drop a new folder on it , it opens up the previous folder instead. I want to believe that it is a bug that needs fixing.

    Yes of course, same problem here.

    lets hope this loss of basic functionality doesn't drag on too long.

    2022 MacStudio

    Bridge v14.0.1.137

    Sonoma 14.1.1

      Hi @Anon44, You've been misinformed about the functions of the Mac buttons. The Red closes the window. Apparently, without a window, Bridge is sort of froze. I can't say I ever did this back in the Bridge 12 days but maybe someone can verify that it's the same or different.

       

      If you tap the yellow button, that DOES minimize and it should work just fine for what you want to do.

       

      If you tap the green button, Bridge will fill up the entire screen — no menus, no nothing. To access the menus, move your mouse up to the top of the screen and the menus will drop down. You can also click on the green button once again and that will return your screen back to normal.

       

      BTW, I've not yet entered Sonoma (OS 14), so everything I'm saying here is correct for OS 13.

      Hi,

      I mistyped and just meant to say that when Bridge 's window is not open (but Bridge is still open), the drag and drop method stops working. I tried it again several times, after resetting everything and the behavior still continues.

      I'm having the same issue - really disrupting my workflow. 

      Any resolution you've found?
