Plaatsen vanuit Bridge naar InDesign

Hi Martijn,

at the time you are using the Place > In InDesign command in Bridge, make sure that there is no modal dialog window* open in InDesign. For example the dialog for a new paragraph style. Bridge or InDesign will not notify you that the cursor cannot be populated with images. It's just failing silently. No error message or something like that…

[*] A modal dialog is a window that forces the user to interact with it before they can go back to using the parent application.

In Bridge > Preferences > Startup Scripts: is the Adobe InDesign startup script enabled?

Just to make that sure:
You have no issues to load the said JPEG files to the InDesign cursor when using InDesign's File > Place… command from the GUI?

( Perhaps it's time for trashing InDesign caches and preferences? )

Are you sure they are not aliasses?

Hi Martijn,

just tried to use the place command from Adobe Bridge 12.0.2.202 for JPEG images on my hard disk with InDesign 2022 17.3.0. As far as I can see I have no issues with that if all the necessary startup scripts for Adobe Bridge are executed when I start Bridge*. The selected images are loaded to InDesign's place gun ( place cursor ) when InDesign 2022 is running and a document is open.

I'm on Windows 10.

Also tested with JPEG images on my Dropbox folder.

No issue so far.

[*] When the startup scripts in Bridge are not loaded, I had this issue with an earlier version of Bridge, the menu command for placing in InDesign ( and also other apps installed ) is not available.

Hi Martijn,

and the exact version of Adobe Bridge is?

Thanks,

When I place any image from Bridge to InDesign I only drag it from Bridge to InDesign.

What file type has the image?
