Bridge

Duplicate Collections do not preserve custom sort of the original. Tried every suggestion - drag and drop, "pre-set" manual, duplicate file in finder. Each method scrambles the sequence in the new collection. I do not want to rename the files in the original collection. Working with Bridge 2026, Mac OS 26.2.  Is this a hopeless pursuit?

I ran out of disk space on an external hard disk, so I moved a large folder of photographs to a different external disk. Now photographs that were in the original place are lost in an important bridge collection. I can relocate them one by one in Bridge using the “Fix” dialog, but there are hundreds to fix. Question 1: Is there any way to to point Bridge to the new location of the folder and tell it to fix all pointers to photographs in that folder? Question 2: I am solving my storage problem by buying new larger disks. How can I avoid the same problem when I move all photographs to a new disk? Thanks,Phil

Yesterday I reported SVG files getting corrupted by Bridge, when they’re getting ranked or labelled. Well, WEBp files also are corrupted by the same cause. The transparency is ignored and a ‘striped’ pattern (a continuation of the intended masked image edges) fills the gaps.It seems to me that when Bridge adds or edits some (meta) data, the files gets corrupted.In case of SVG files, strict apps like Figma don’t like the taste of it anymore, and refuse to import it.In case of WEBp-files with transparency, the mask is destroyed. I didn’t notice it until I opened the WebP file back into Photoshop and saw what happened. (Bridge created and kept its correct-looking preview before I used ranking or labelling.) 

I am a paid subscriber and I use Adobe 11 2021 Bridge and Photoshop for WindowsI am looking for the Adobe Bridge 11.1.1 installer I contacted Adobe but they said they don’t have it.I don’t like updated versions of Bridge / RAW because this versions works best for me.I had to update my computer because of windows 10 to windows 11 and I had the previous installer of Bridge. I need 11.1.1 so that I can be on the final update of 11 that had less bugs.If anyone can help me with the Installer for Adobe bridge 11.1.1 for Windows It will be appreicatred.Thank you

When I’m dragging or simply importing SVG files to Figma, I noticed that when I have ranked or labelled or otherwise ‘touched’ an SVG file, I can’t use it anymore in Figma. And the W3C Validator also reports some errors.Here’s one example (057 AIL icon 2026), which I could easily drag from Bridge or import as a file in Figma. But after labelling it (which changes and saves some metadata), Figma can’t import it anymore. (Copying and pasting the artwork still works.)BTW, it doesn't always happen ! The file (svg-4.svg) got a label from Bridge, but Figma accepts this one as normally.

Starting a few days ago, having selected an image to edit in ACR I found that choosing the Brush Tool produced an error message: “Bridge has encountered a problem and has to close.” I reported this but have received no advice by email. I deleted Bridge and re-installed: same problem occurs. I’ve cleared the cache: made no difference. I’ve updated PS & ACR: no difference.Having re-subscribed to Adobe CC only recently I am disenchanted with this persistent fault and zero contact from Adobe.

The entire thumbnail does not shift, however with a mixture of bitmap objects plus overlay art, the bitmap objects are shifted out of place or shifted out of the thumbnail entirely. The overlay elements remain in place. The images (jpgs) in Illustrator are linked. Also the images are larger than the artboard initially and resized. There is only one artboard. This only seems to affect image objects in Illustrator. The vector objects seem unaffected.FYI, my Illustrator files begin as pre-built .ai files containing pre-existing guides, artboard, and many objects that I frequently use as overlays. So, outside the artboard are dozens of my objects that I use as needed.  In Windows Explorer previews and the Illustrator welcome page, all objects inside and outside the artboard appear in the thumbnail, correctly positioned.In Bridge, only the artboard contents appear in thumbnails, but images are missing or shifted in the thumbnail.Attached images are from thumbnails in Bridge -One is the .png

Every time I try to batch rename files in Adobe Bridge 15.1.1.729 Bridge freezes when it reaches ca. 10%Sometimes I want to change the following order of my pictures, so I give a picture which has a name and number already a number of the pictures which it should follow with suffix 'b'.When I want to rename the series of pictures, Bridge freezes and when I stop the action and stop and start Bridge again. The renumbered pictures are at the end of the row, with "temp1" at the end of the name. Then I try the action again, and then it works.I had online help from Adobe 2 times. They installed Adobe Bridge again and that helps, but only for 1 or 2 times using the batch rename function, then the problem starts again.My numbering looks like this: 5809_ESP_Provincia-de-Salamanca_La-Alberca So when I change the number, I put "b" after the number of the picture that should be first to this one, as i.e. 5782b_ESP_Provincia-de-Salamanca_La-Alberca, and then I rename the pictures unt

Working with LOT of images. Editing events. It's the M O S T  D R E A D E D  part of my photo life, because I edit in Bridge aka the slowest editing software on the planet Earth and beyond. Creating previews - takes forever. Getting 100% preview sharpness - takes forever. Exporting using Image Processor - IS. THE. SLOWEST. PROCESS... yeah you guessed it.. On planet Earth and beyond. I think I see my plants growing while waiting for Image processor to render from Raw to JPEG. Will make another post about that too. THIS TIME:I'm looking at 300 images at this moment. I want to scroll down, up, doesn't matter. I grab the scrolling bar, move it down and... the show started... Everything becomes unresponsive, meaning, I cannot stop it, I cannot click anything because - the scroll bar keeps on scrolling. It just scrolls... one screen down, two, three, four, and keeeeeps on scrolling. My options - take a 3 hour break, which I cannot because I AM PAID to edit the images. Or

When I have a folder with images that I want to open in Bridge, I used to be able to drag and drop the folder on the Bridge icon in the dock. This would launch Bridge and open to show all the images in that folder. This no longer works. Instead I have to launch Bridge, navigate to my external drive and then browse down until I get to the folder I want.I have a Mac computer running Ventura MacOS version 13.2.1. My Bridge version is 13.0.3. I have granted Bridge Full Disk Access in System Settings Privacy and Security.Does anyone know how I can get back to dragging and dropping folders onto Bridge?

I used to be able to rate pictures on my old laptop in Full Screen Preview (Spacebar) mode, and I could see the rating in the lower left corner. But with my new MacBook Air, I can only rate in the list of the file names. But the rating doesn't work in Full Screen or Review Mode anymore. How can I fix this?

Hi! I have my PS files on Google’s MyDrive in a folder. MyDrive and the folder are clearly visible and functional on my iMac and MBP M2 at the Finder level. However, Bridge doesn’t see them, although the files are off-line downloaded, physically, on my iMac’s external disk. ChatGPT tells me that I can work with my files in this way (and it sounds just rational). By now, my iMac and MBP are working fine. I haven’t any other issues with my two Macs. This is (once more) a strange thing with Adobe products. No other app in my life has ever objected to follow Finder in my Mac! So, how can I see the files on my Macs?? Regards, TuomasPS. Photoshop user since v. 3. 🙂 Sorry, originally I sent this message accidentally to the Fresco group, as it was not obvious to find, as to how to find “Ask a question”, in contrast to the previous situation (when the tab was clearly visible on the front page).

When browsing thumbnails using the arrow keys, Bridge will start scrolling through all the photos until it reaches the end of the folder. This makes Bridge unusable for browsing thumbnails.

Hi all!I've made a script to fill in a feature missing from Bridge, the ability to copy metadata between files. It currently only supports a limited subset of metadata fields (the ones I use the most), but I'm happy to fufil requests to add more.Currently, these fields can be copied:HeadlineDescriptionKeywordsAlt Text (Alt Text & Extended Description)Location (Sublocation, City, State, Country, and Country Code)Usage:Select a file.Right click > Copy Property... OR Tools > Copy Property...Select the fields you would like to be copiedSelect the files you would like to paste toRight click > Paste Property OR Tools > Paste Property. You have the option of Overwriting the existing values or Appending, which appends Keywords but overwrites other fields.Installation:Go to Preferences and select the "Startup Scripts" tab.Click "Reveal Scripts in Explorer"Place the script file in the folder that opensRestart BridgeWhen prompted upon restarting, choose to enable the script.If the

HEIC files are not displayed when the name of the folder they're in contains special characters, such as German umlauts (ü,ö), Chinese, Japanese, Korean characters and others. This bug was already reported and acknowledged a year ago and is still present in 16.0.2.23.

In Bridge 15 HEIC files are not displayed (no thumbnail, no preview, no full screen picture), if the name of the folder includes special German characters (ö, ü, ä) - tested with "ö".  With usual folder names HEIC files are displayed correctly. The bug is still in version 15.03.525 under up-to-date Windows 11 24H2. Please forward this bug to the development department. The workaround to rename the folder names is not a useful solution. Some weeks ago I had a chat with the hotline, but the ticket has been closed as solved at the same day. Seems that they did not understand the problem correctly.
