If you only need a script to copy the file path, try this modification of your origninal script. It should work on Bridge 13 and 14 on Windows. #target bridge if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) { bridgePath = new MenuElement("command", "Path to Clipboard", "at the end of Thumbnail"); } bridgePath.onSelect = function () { pathToClipboard(); } function pathToClipboard(){ var sels = app.document.selections; app.document.copyTextToClipboard(sels[0].spec.fsName); // Window.alert("File path copied to clipboard\n\n"+sels[0].spec.fsName) }   ...

Also, how are the files sorted in the workspace? This affects the batch rename order. I think if you sort the files by date before selecting them and running batch rename, you should get the desired result. ... View more

dc:description is a language alternate (langAlt) property which means it can have values in different languages. It starts at 1. Generally, only one language is saved using the "x-default" designation, so using 1 will get the only available item. <dc:description> <rdf:Alt> <rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">My description</rdf:li> </rdf:Alt> </dc:description> If your metadata contains multiple language values, it possible to read a specific one, like "en-US" using getLocalizedText(). Most times only "x-default" is used, so getArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description",1) works fine.   There are two other array type properties, bag and seq. These contain individual items and are generally displayed in the UI as one string using semi-colon or comma separators. ... View more

Click the metadata panel options and deselect  "Show Metadata Placard"   You can also choose to only show the Description field by opening the metadata panel preferences and deselecting all the fields you don't want.   Sorry, you can't shrink the space to the left of the text box (blue arrow in your screenshot). This should be possible, but it's not in Bridge 2023 or 2024.   You could move the metadata panel to a wider location, like above the content panel. This will introduce a lot of wasted space though.       ... View more

@Roland_Rick are you saying that changing that label preference in Lightroom actually deleted/reset the XMP label values in your files? They may not display the color you expect, but the original metadata should still be in the files. ... View more

Inspecting a file for color pixels probably could be done, but it would be very difficult. It's beyond my knowledge. An easier, but not 100% reliable, method would be to look at the metadata. This is not reliable because you have to count on prior software processes to correctly write color metadata and that doesn't always happen. Having said that, if your files have been processed that same way, then the metadata should be consistent, at least consistent enough to locate most of the color images. You could then manually test the remainder.   Here's one easy clue: your sample images are RGB   You can also see this in the Filter panel, but it shows the difficulty in relying on metadata. rocks is sRGB   water is untagged (color images can also be untagged, unfortunately)   Have a look at the greyscale version of water.jpg and see what the Filter and File Properties say. Your file metadata might be consistent enough to identify the not-really-b&w images just using standard Bridge tools. ... View more

There some very useful scripts in these two collections. Keep in mind that each time there is a Bridge update, some scripting things change (bugs are introduced) so some of the older scripts might not work perfectly.

That's because the XMP file doesn't have any tags of it's own. Yes, the content (xml text) in the XMP is changed, but the file doesn't have embedded metadata like the image file does. Exiftool knows to link the RAW and XMP files by filename and writes the proper data to the XMP file. ... View more
