I know this has been talked about on the MAC and PC forums for Bridge and has been an issue with CS3 up to CS5.  However, it does not seem to be getting any attention from Adobe.

hi,
Recently i installed adobe photoshop cs5 extended. After installing now when i  try to open any folder by double clicking on it, it opens in adobe  bridge..  I have to right click on the folder and then OPEN, then only it opens in explorer. It’s very annoying when you want to open your folders and bridge comes out opening it. This problem was not there when i was using photoshop cs4.

I tried the Default file associations in control panel but couldnt find the folder extension. I have re-registered the shell library but no effect.

I also tried Folder option in control panel and reset it to default but no effect.

I also tried registry cleaner and fixer but same result.
How could this be changed so that when i open any folder by  double clicking on it, it will open as usual in windows explorer.

OS: win7-ultimate.

Can Bridge Downloader be set to always open with the advanced dialog box and can it be set to retain the previous settings?  Also, is there a Preferences for the Downloader?  I can see it listed in the menu, but it’s ghosted.

It would be a real time-saver if I didn’t have to re-enter all the info each time I open the Downloader — and then start all over again because I missed something and it downloads to the wrong drive/folder or creates dated folders when I don’t want them or doesn’t enter copyright info in metadata… you get the idea.

Thanks for any help with this.

Downloaded the Bridge CS5 4.0.3 updates from Macupdate and Adobe Download Update site, and have installed it. The installation process went fine, and Adobe CS5 4.0.3.9 as shown in the About dialog, run fine.

However, when I hit “Updates” from Bridge CS5 Menu, the Adobe Auto Updater started and prompted me to upgrade to Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.2.

Version 4.0.2 is the prior version on my Mac before applying the new upgrade to 4.0.3.

If I hit Update, Adobe Auto Updater will download Bridge CS5 4.0.2 and install fail.

I think 4.0.3 update is not yet integrated into Adobe Auto Updater.

Please fix this! Or I’m the only one who have this problem?

I have searched and searched, but could find nothing on this issue. I tried to call Adobe Support, but they said I had to pay as we have a volume license! We’ve only had the product 2 weeks!

Anyway, in Bridge you used to be able to select the Ouput module and have options for making a PDF contact sheet. I get nothing. I thought perhaps it was a corrupt installation, so I tried another Mac, but the same thing. I thought perhaps it was the vesion of CS5.5 (Design Standard) so I tried another Mac with Web Premium. Same thing. I vaguely remember reading something about some modules don’t work for all localized versions yet, but I couldn’t verify that anywhere.

If anyone could shed some light on this I would be really grateful.

Has anyone figured out how to fix this?  Tried  fixes & I still can not open RAW files from Bridge or Photoshop CS5.  I upgraded the Camera RAW plug-in and downloaded all fixes  for Photoshop CS5 ( done automatically through Adobe updater) so program is up to date.  I can open RAW files from mini bridge if I right click the photo BUT if I take the photo back to Bridge I can not open it there. ( I could do this before the upgrades so this is not different ). I have windows 7 professional 32 bit. I tried DNG files & .cr2 files.

In Photoshop CS4 I had the same problem ( almost the same error message…bridge requires a qualify product to be launched at least once… Camera RAW) and it was never fixed but I didn’t understand the advantages of working in camera RAW. So it may be the same glich if I had it in CS4 & CS5. Thanks in advance for your help.

I keep getting this error msg:  ‘Bridge is running low on memory.  It is recommended that Bridge is restarted.’  I am running a Mac OSX 1T and also use an external hard drive.  I purged cache for the current folder, purged cache in ACR, tried refreshing my preferences by hitting option when opening Bridge, and raised my cache size to about 250,000 and nothing has worked!  Please help!!!!!

Hi,

Let me explain:

Im a wedding photographer, and I send thousands of photos to my client. Later on, the bride sends me a word text file, with all the photo numbers she would like to have included in her album.

Now at days, I print this list, and go one by one, labeling each photo with one color, so I can filter it and start working on her album.

I believe there must be a easier way of doing this… I believe if there is a way bridge could “read” the data of this word text file and automactically select the photos.

Thank you!

My mother has just bought Photoshop CS5 which comes with Bridge CS5.1. She has Windows 7, 32-bit.

I was showing her how to use “Get Photos from Camera…”.Adobe Photo Downloader (APD) opened with the Standard screen and so I clicked on the Advanced button to set up the import folder, renaming options and metadata.  Images (jpgs) downloaded fine.

When I went back into the APD, instead of showing the Advanced screen, it showed the Standard screen and when I clicked on Advanced, it had lost all the settings. I tried it again, trying to import RAW files to see if that made a difference.  It didn’t. I closed Bridge and re-opened it and tried again, but it still didn’t work.

I have CS5 Design and when I use Bridge APD, (on Windows XP or Windows 7) it not only alway opens up the Advanced screen, it remembers all my settings.

How do I have my mother’s version do that?

I have a mysteric issue in Bridge CS5. Some pictures in my folders just shown the jpg-label picture (the one tell whats filetype it is) in bridge. The picture tho works in both finder and photoshop, and I mailed the picture to a friend with bridge on windows, and worked there too.

I tried purge the cache, but no success. Any ideas?

I have Photoshop CS4 on a Macbook Pro, OS 10.6.7.

After I open a raw image (DNG & PEF) in Bridge and make adjustments, such as cropping or adjusting exposure, the changes do not show in Bridge thumbnails after I close the image.  It thumbnails work fine with jpeg and TIF images. I have reinstalled Photoshop CS4, but it did not correct the problem with raw images. How can I fix the problem? Thanks.
