Bridge

Hello,Regardless of the option chosen, the message of the image below keeps appearing every time I open Adobe Bridge 2026.What is the solution to avoid this?Thank you in advance.  

Over the years, my creative group has produced hundreds of custom digital illustrations. We are harvesting those images and trying to create a stock art resource for others in our vast organization to use. We use Adobe products (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) but I’ve never used Bridge. All of these assets have different file names. I’m trying to determine an appropriate file naming structure for a stock art resource, i.e., create a catalog-style numbering system? descriptive terms in file name? Next, how do I keep track of what I rename each stock asset file so I can trace it back to the original? So I am also seeking guidance on best practices for re-naming each file.

In Bridge, why is the “This PC” hierarchy duplicated?  The same condition appears in Bridge on my laptop as well.  See attachment. Thanks

This process would save me alot of time,  I know I used to use a similar script.  If not, if yall could send me in the direction of how to make my own at this point.

After update to 9.0.2.219 x64 (Win 10) Bridge opens all kind of files in AfterEffects..psd, .jpg. .indd, .pdf, .xls you name it. ALL.Resseting file types associations - no change.Resseting all preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift start method) - no change.Any ideas?To be clear, opening from Windows finder works correctly, just double clicking inside Bridge opens AE.

​​​​​​See the two pictures - the numbers next to each item doesn’t change after I pick one to filter.​ 

Every time I open Bridge, I get this box about access/privacy.It appears regardless of clicking either option.Sequoia/Bridge 16.0.2.23

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?

Anybody else miss this?We have "Light," "Dark," and "Chunky Dark" but there's no "Medium" anymore! I definitely miss this. Adobe please answer my call!    

I'm on Windows 11 and all Adobe prodcuts are up to date and Windows.  When I open Bridge or Photoshop and try to do any editing and save or rename I get a "permissions needed" error message.  None of the edits or adjustments to the files save.  This only started 2 weeks ago.   The exact message is  "This file cannot be renamed 'fence'  because you do not have permissions or the file is in use."  

Are there plans to bring Adobe Bridge to Windows on ARM?  Having Photoshop and Camera Raw is great, but without Bridge there is no way to have a legitimate photography-centered workflow. Also, wrong forum, but Lightroom Classic, please?

Beim drücken der Leertaste erscheint das Bild in Vollansicht, leider flackert es auch nach dem neuesten Update immer noch...Wird das irgendwann mal behoben???

[I keep finding problems with Bridge 2020 w.r.t. Bridge CS5 almost on a daily basis - un upgrade it aint] This is a relatively minor bug but dangerous when emptying the main drive Trash (MacOs Mojave).  The more serious problem of file deletion in Bridge is being discussed on other threads. Each external drive has its own trash (/Volumes/<drive>/.Trashes) whereas there is the main drive user trash (/Users/<user>/.Trash). When Bridge is deleting a file on an external drive, it moves it to the user's local trash. This is not good for a number of reasons:1. If you don't know this behaviour and empty your local trash - you have unwittingly permanently deleted files on external drives;2. It would eat up storage on local drive which is more precious than external drives: A file deletion remainig on the same drive has no net storage cost - deleting a 1 GB file does not result in an additional 1 GB being used up on that drive - whereas moving the file

Since the Bridge 2026 update, dragging a Finder folder directly onto the application's icon in the Dock no longer works. It was quite convenient. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hello.   I just updated Bridge to 2026 - running Mac OS 14.7.   Prior to the update, I was able to drag a folder of images from Finder to my Bridge icon in the taskbar and it would open that folder. This no longer works.   This old process was super efficient. Now to open something, I need to double click through MANY folders within Bridge to get to what I need.  

All of the sudden, after a day of regular work, Bridge 16 stopped letting rename files or assign stars or labels. When I click on the name field of the file it seems disabled. My Mac runs on 15.7.2 . I tried updating OS, tried uninstalling and installing Bridge again. The disc access is granted in the security settings. What should I do to resolve?

Using Bridge (16.0.0.63) and I can no longer send files to (25.6 Build98) Adobe Media Encoder (Tools/Media Encoder/Add to Encoder Queue). Adobe Encoder launches but no files show up in the queue. 

This is my second post about this. Yesterday morning Bridge (2026, on MacBook Pro M5 with Tahoe) stopped working. It begins to lauch, the menu bar appears, but then nothing else. If you try to use a menu, for example the "about Bridge" or anything that would call up something on the screen, nothing hasppens and the menus all grey out. Then you have to use force quit to cloe down. I've tried everything I see on hte web to no avail. If I hold the coamn/optio/shift keys I get a window that  allows me to choose emptying cache and/or deleting presents (nothing about startup files) but doing that doesn't alter the results. I starting from teh finder insteard of the doc, but the same things happen. Any ideas?  Ed Merrin

Hi Adobe Community,I can't uninstall the old version of Adobe Bridge, v: 9.1.  It doesn't appear in Creative Cloud and also doesn't appear in the list in Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.  It does not appear in Windows 11 uninstall or Revo Uninstaller, and Revo Forced Uninstall doesn't find it.  Is there any way to remove this old version?  Thanks.Zaffer

This bug too has been around for some time.  Each time Bridge has an update I hope that it's been addressed but alas, not so. Selecting files in a folder (say, I select all the .NEF files but not the .JPG files) and then drag-and-dropping those selected files to another folder (say I want to move .NEF files into their own directory) moves those files PLUS it moves other random files as well. Scenario:  Folder 1 has a mix of NEF and JPG files.  I select only the NEF files, and move them by drag-and-dropping them into a newly created "NEF" folder.  Bridge will move the selected NEF files, but it will also move random JPG files from the origninal folder, even though those files were not selected. This happens every single time.  It is a major pain in the butt.  Adobe, can you please address.  Thank you.
