Viewing images flagged in Lightroom

Question

I've flagged a few hundred images in LIghtroom.  Now I want to view those flagged images in Bridge.How do I do that?  I'm relatively new to Bridge but I have not figured out how to do that.

Bridge and lightroom dont really communicate in that way. Bridge came out first as an interface to work between multiple programs in the Adobe arsenal. It is the "Bridge" between things like Photoshop and InDesign and Illustrator. It's an organizing tool that allows you to move files easily between applications. Then came Lightroom, which is essentially a combination of Adobe Camera Raw and Bridge with souped up organizing file structures. Most people use one or the other. Not really both since they both do a lot of the same things a little differently.

I'm relatively new to Bridge but I have not figured out how to do that.It's not possible at this point in time, as flags are not written to XMP. You could select all of the flagged photos in LR and assign them star ratings or a color label, as these are written to XMP.If they were written to XMP, then enabling the checkbox that @Stephen_A_Marsh showed would work, or Metadata menu > Write Metadata to Files would work. It would work for images only, not videos. Files are never "in" Lightroom's database, so the images themselves can be browsed in Bridge, as you've no doubt found.You might like to add your vote to this feature request: Lightroom: Save flags in XMP and if that one gets implemented, a matching request for reading that data in Bridge.
