Bridge CS4 trash problem

Greetings -
Trying to do a major editing job and Bridge wont let me trash files. Can't seem to find anything relevent in Help and a search here came up with nothing. Keep getting a popup stating I don't have sufficient privleges. Have no idea what this is about. More than a mere annoyance.
Hope someon here can point me in the ight direction.
Thanks

After checking 'get info' for
both image files and the disc, I noticed that under Sharing and Permissions
for the disc that there are two items, Test and Everyone, listed under You
have custom access. Test has 'read and write' listed and Everyone has 'read
only'. Not sure just what that means, as it's nothing I had set up.
If I compare this with my set up and choose the disk where the system is
installed on it shows system and admin as read and write and everyone only
read. (and I have also a stand alone with me as administrator)
When in the user section (all content from my user folder on this disk) it
shows me as user for read and write and both staff and everyone as only
read.
If you have a user account created for testing and called that test and this
shows only test it seems to me that you are logged in under this user
account.
In the system preferences under the tab Accounts you can check this and also
change it if you have admin rights (as you stated to have that should not
give any problems).
For the image file 'get info', under Sharing and Permissions, it shows 'you
can only read'  - Test and Everyone.
Meaning you have no rights to change or trash that file.
In File Sharing in System Preferances, everything is unchecked.
To my knowledge checking file sharing on and adding other user could give
you access to those files. However, as administrator and only user it would
be best to operate from your own user account and after heaving logged in
from that account check if you are able to see all read and write
permissions for the files.
Not sure if this has a bearing on the problem, but the image files are on a
sperate drive from the system and Bridge drive. Just for grins I turned on
File Sharing in 'Sharing' Preferences. No change.
I assume you also did a get info for that disk because if the files are on
that disk it should say that you have read and write permissions and that
should also be for the files on it.
Sorry for the long winded post. I'm just starting Light Room, and am in the
process of revamping my workflow to try and get better control over my files.
Pretty ugly mess after 10+ years of bad and sloppy habits.
I wonder if you are able to trash the files in Lightroom because that would
be a surprise for me. Still think it is a user account and read write
permission problem

  • Bridge CS4 causing problem with Explorer

    The following problem occurred after adjusting the Preference settings in Bridge CS4:
    When right clicking on any folder in either the Explorer or on the Desktop the following message is displayed "Windows Explorer has stopped working..."
    This is now the second time, after having created two new User Accounts. While Explorer worked perfectly for a couple of days before adjusing the settings in Birdge, I cannot undo what has caused this problem and am reluctant to setup yet another user account. Also, I can't figure out which setting change might have caused this.
    Is it possible that by adjusting the settings in Bridge it added a shell extension to Windows Explorer?
    Has anyone here encountered a similar problem after adjusting the settings in Bridge?

  • Bridge CS4 memory problems

    I am repeatedly receiving a "Bridge is running low on memory, it is recommended you restart Bridge" message when using the loop to view CR2 files from a Canon 5D Mk2. Bridge CS4 (3.0.0.464), MacBook Pro 2.5ghz duo, 4 GB ram, OSX 10.5.5. Anyone have any advice?

    I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
    I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
    I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
    This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
    Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) may NOT help. Try it anyway, though.

    Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
    Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
    If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
    Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
    Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
    Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
    Also, from: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
    The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
    NOTE:
    There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

  • Bridge CS4 batch problem

    Hi,
    I often work from Bridge and use the TOOLS>PHOTOSHOP>BATCH or TOOLS>PHOTOSHOP>LOAD FILES INTO PHOTOSHOP LAYERS
    This works well except it has just stopped working for no apparent reason. When I try any of the commands under TOOLS>PHOTOSHOP, photoshop will launch or become active but then just sit there doing nothing.
    This has thrown a HUGH spanner in my workflow and is driving me nuts.
    I have tried deleting Bridge/photoshop prefs etc but nothing seems to help.
    I'm guessing it has something to do with Bridge startup scripts or something.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!
    Thanks.
    PS Will post this in the Photoshop forum too as it may be a PS problem.

  • Bridge CS4 Server problem- slide show not loading

    Hi
    I have created a slide show in CS4 and emdedded the index code in my gallery page, created in Dreamweaver CS4. I have used an iframe within a DIV tag.
    Preview works fine in both Chrome and IE. However, once uploaded to Server, all that can be seen is a grey screen.
    I have contacted the server Heart Internet to see if they can help but as yet no idea. 
    I was just wondering if anyone has come across this before and if so, is there a quick fix I can implement.
    I am basic but ok with HTML, and can insert code, if given it, but no good at the problem solving side of code writing.
    Any ideas would be really appreciated
    Thanks

    It sounds as if for some bizarre reason, the transition is causing the player buffer to empty out.
    This happens on certain - usually older - players when sequential cells are set as non sequential in compiling.
    (I had this one bite me - hard - recently, although from a different application).
    Best way to check this is to go get a copy of the excellent PGCEdit (shareware) and load the compiled disc.
    http://download.videohelp.com/r0lZ/pgcedit/index.html
    Find the main timeline for the slideshow, and double click it. (see attached image)
    The "chapters" will be listed, and we need to see these ticked as sequential playback, or seamless.
    If there is no tick, add one between each track, save the disc & reburn with IMGBurn (freeware/Donationware)
    http://www.imgburn.com/
    For some reason, certain chipsets seem to create a gap when transitioning a chapter marker on a timeline with a single sequential audio stream when the chapter is incorrectly set to non seamless.
    This may not be what is happening here, but I think it is worth a look.

  • Elements 8.0 and Adobe Bridge CS4 problem

    I have two problems that appeared in Elemens 8.0 and Adobe Brigde CS4 recently.  I'm using the Mac version and a Macbook Pro (4 months old).
    I don't really know where to address the problem, but I hope someone in this forum would be able to advice me.
    Problem 1
    When I browse a RAW-file in Bridge and click the photo to view a 100% zoom and then go back to a normal view, after a few seconds the photo turns alot darker.  I've got alot of macro photos of flower and they really loose structure in this process and I would say they get damaged.
    On the attached file the left photo is the photo I've viewed and closed and the right one is the original file.  Does anyone have an explanation to this problem?  I do like to review my files and do a 100% zoom before I choose the best one, but this is not possible in Bridge due to this problem.
    Problem 2
    After postprocessing my photos in Elements some of them cannot be viewed through Brigde anymore, they get sort of unclear and some show pixels.  If I use Finder or other programmes to view the files they look perfectly allright. See examples below, the left one is a screendump from Bridge and the second one is the processed file.

    I think this solved the problem, at least some of it.
    I deleted the bridge plist file and also ran an update of Bridge CS4.  I wasn't sure how to update ACR in bridge, so I didn't do that.
    But when I start Bridge now, only some of the files changes color slightly in the thumbnails view.  The zoom (loading 100%) also looks different, it zoomed to 800% earlier even though it said 100%, it sort of never ended.
    Thank you Barbara, I'm ever so grateful.  Now I know where to go if I have more problems

  • Problem with JPGs Downlaoded with Nikon Transfer - Can't Apply Develop Settings in Bridge CS4 and ACR 5.3 Settings Don't Stick

    I have found what I believe is a "problem" with JPGs downloaded using Nikon Transfer (ver 1.4.1) and processing same in Adobe Bridge CS4 (Develop Settings) and/or Adobe Camera Raw 5.3 (Photoshop CS4 and Elements 6 as hosts).
    Anyone using these programs in their workflow?
    The problem, quite simply, is that neither ACR settings (nor Bridge CS4 Develop Settings) "stick" when applied to JPGs that have been downloaded via Nikon Transfer ver 1.4.1.
    The same images from the same cameras (D300 and D90), downloaded moments later using Nikon's predecessor software PictureProject work just fine in both Bridge and ACR.  Develop Settings appled in Bridge immediately are seen, and JPGs opened in ACR, and settings applied, then "Done" immediately stick and are reflected in Bridge.
    If someone else is processing their JPGs in this manner, please let me know, as I have reported the problem to both Nikon and Adobe, and although I have tested it on two different cameras and two differnt laptops, I would like to get an impartial result as well.
    One other test, the problem does not seem to affect Nikon's RAW (NEF) format files downloaded from a D2x using Nikon Transfer.  More/different test are forthcoming.
    Thanks

    Can't say one way or another on that statement about using manufacturers' software.  Since Adobe has to interpret each camera models' RAW format having the latest ACR seems to be the best option.  But if the manufacturers' software is more convenient, and you get the same results then use it.  But it does appear you are not getting what you want, so suggest you try a duplicate test run with images straight from the card reader to Bridge and see if you still have same problems.
    I do know it is widely recommended that using a quality card reader gives you more reliable data than getting the pictures straight from the camera.  Does not seem intuitive, but that has been experience of many.

  • Bridge CS4 edit history problem with OS change from XP to 7

    I've changed my OS from XP to 7.  After reinstalling software, Bridge CS4 no longer keeps my editing steps in the "edit history" metadata.  The only steps recorded are that I've  saved a file.  I have the edit history box marked in preferences in both Bridge and PS, and have tried changing the metadata section in Preferences to session only, concise, and detailed.  None of those choices make a difference.  Any suggestions on how to get my edit history steps back in the metadata of Bridge?  I use the edit history frequently!  Thanks in advance!

  • Problem with Bridge CS4 reading/editing XMP metadata added in Bridge CS6

    Please excuse me if this is a dumb/obvious question. I did try searching the forums for similar problems and didn't find anything that seemed to speak to my issue.
    I'm having a problem where Bridge CS4 won't read/edit xmp metadata (specifically, keywords and descriptions in the IPTC panel) that I have entered using CS6. it will read some files, not others. The files are all .mp4s. Of these files, I can read/edit IPTC panel metadata for some of them in Bridge CS4; I can add metadata for all of them in CS6. I see no particular pattern in these files to explain what is and isn't read/editable in CS4.
    My question is whether this is a compatibility issue between different versions of CS (in this instance, CS4 and CS6). i know it's a tired refrain to blame software when it could easily be user error, in which case I'd be frankly delighted to know what i'm doing wrong. Please bear with me as I give a few more details.
    I'm using macs. I've tried this on multiple systems - for instance, on a mac pro 3 which for some reason has both CS4 and CS6 installed, i can add and edit keywords using CS6, but not when using CS4. Again, in CS4, some .mp4 files read/edit, others do not.
    Bridge CS4 blames the files and tells me that the selected file cannot store xmp metadata, and that the properties cannot be modified. To be specific, in the metadata panel it says "this property cannot be modified"; in the keyword panel, it says, "This file (zzz.mp4) cannot store xmp metadata. No changes will occur." This seems odd, because I'm able to add xmp metadata for the same files in CS6 on the same computer, and other computers. I know this problem would disappear if all our computers were using CS6 (or CC), but unfortunately that's not a possibility at the moment. Some of them only have CS4.
    Computer details (not an exhaustive list, but two instances): mac pro 3.1 running snow leopard, 16GB memory; macbook pro 4.1 running snow leopard, 4GB memory; adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
    Things I have tried:
    Permissions - the files are set to read/write for everyone. Given that I can add/edit metadata in CS6, it doesn't seem to be a permission issue.
    Purging the cache - other users seem to have had problems adding metadata in Bridge CS4 where purging the cache for affected files solved the problem. Didn't work in this instance.
    Upgrading all affected computers to CS6/CC is beyond my control. I need to figure out why CS4 won't let me read/add/edit xmp metadata, if only for the sake of understanding the broader implications for interoperability.
    Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
    Without having experience with mp4 files and metadata my observation is that you certainly have not updated Bridge CS6 ( should be 5.0.2.4) and I believe also not the latest version of CS4, can't imaging this also stayed at .0.0 so first try to update both.
    And if CS4 can read the data of some files it should be capable of reading them all. Be sure to have the files completely cached first, can take a while.
    Other things to try in CS4 is refresh preferences (hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs).
    And also check for hidden cache files using menu view/show hidden files. Sometimes those cache files can be troublesome between versions.
    If purge cache did not work and reset prefs also failed consider to also delete Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manual (from user library)

  • Bridge CS4 Search Not Displaying NEF Files + Keyword Problems

    Hello, I am hoping someone can be of service to peculiar problem that apparently nobody else has had.
    I am running Adobe Bridge CS4 (came bundled with Photoshop Elements 8) on a 2009 24 inch iMac with 4GB RAM and a 2.6mHz processor running Snow Leopard v10.6.2.
    I use Adobe Bridge CS4 to add Keywords to all my photos and edit 14 bit Nikon NEF RAW files. I write the keywords to an .XMP sidecar
    file.
    Two days I ago I changed something in Preferences->Metadata and the next time I started Bridge CS4 and used the loupe tool on a NEF
    file, it took longer than usual for the preview to come up and when it did, it was at 200% magnification instead of 100%. Once the loupe preview showed up, the NEF file had some sort of processing applied to it (it became more contrasted.) This was all within Bridge ant NOT Adobe Camera Raw. I quit the program and the next time I started Bridge, it crashed upon using the loupe tool. I looked up help on Adobe's website and it appeared I had corrupted preferences. Per Adobe's instructions I option clicked at Bridge startup to delete the preferences and purge the cache.
    Everything appeared to be normal until today when I searched for a keyword and got 36 random results when I know I have hundreds of
    photos tagged with that particular keyword. I started typing in other keywords and getting the same sort of results- very limited numbers of photos I have hundreds of. I always include all subfolders in all searches and used every search method available through Bridge to no avail. The searches always came up with a fraction of the photos I actually have tagged.
    I then verified and repaired all disk permissions from the operating system installation CD and Bridge started returning results as
    usual. However, when I clicked on an individual file in the Content pane, some of my Keywords started to appear in italics below the rest of my Keyword tree. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to why some images will return the Keywords normally and others in italics. Also, sometime the italicized keyword tree will include keywords I edited due to typos and thus no longer existing my normal Keyword tree. I gave the "Make Persistent" command a try. It converts the italics to regular case, but it also doubles the tag so I now have two of that tag (one in the normal keyword tree, and the now converted italics keyword tree.)
    Now I'm noticing that all my search results are not including NEF files; just JPEG and the occasional DNG file that I made through Adobe Camera RAW. I'm not sure if this has been the case throughout my problem or if I just noticed it late.
    Regarding not displaying NEF files in searches, it appears that it will default to displaying JPEG if it has the option because as of lately I have only been shooting RAW and some of those files are showing up in the still-wonky searches (still displaying random or no photos of keywords.) However, if I manually navigate to a file, I can open and edit NEF files with no problem, they just don't display in any search modes.
    Here's two short videos of what happens when I navigate a folder with NEF files by manually searching:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDjUDZzULKQ
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y9HkDK7DCs
    When I click on a NEF file, the one ahead of it in Content view processes into a more contrasty image and the loupe tool previews jump between 100% and 400% and then change to 100% when dragged or they just process themselves right then and there.

    I am running Adobe Bridge CS4 (came bundled with Photoshop Elements 8) on a 2009 24 inch iMac with 4GB RAM and a 2.6mHz processor running Snow Leopard v10.6.2.
    Snow Leopard and Bridge CS4 do have some issues. Some have no problems and others have much problems I'm afraid.
    I use Adobe Bridge CS4 to add Keywords to all my photos and edit 14 bit Nikon NEF RAW files. I write the keywords to an .XMP sidecar file.
    To my knowledge the keywords are written into the XMP Metadata that is saved in the IPTC section of file itself, the XMP data in the sidecar file contain the changes you made in ACR. In other words, the keywords you have added should still be there.
    Also see this Knowledge Base article about Keywords:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402660.html
    Two days I ago I changed something in Preferences->Metadata and the next time I started Bridge CS4 and used the loupe tool on a NEF file, it took longer than usual for the preview to come up and when it did, it was at 200% magnification instead of 100%.
    Changes metadata in prefs only affects the visability of the fields in the metadata panel. put or deselect a checkmark in front of an option will let you see or not see the field in this panel, the actual data and fields ar still in the file.
    it was at 200% magnification instead of 100%. Once the loupe preview showed up, the NEF file had some sort of processing applied to it (it became more contrasted.) This was all within Bridge ant NOT Adobe Camera Raw.
    You can change the magnification for the loupe to 100 / 200 / 400 and 800 % using the scrollwheel or with loupe active the + and - keys. Bridge shows the settings that you made in ACR. If you have changed the default Camera Raw setting it will also change the thumbs for this file. A thumbs needs some time to be cached. First it shows with a black border around, when first cached it shows the embedded preview and in the second round it renders the ACR settings and High Quality preview (if you have not disabled this setting). Caching needs some time.
    Everything appeared to be normal until today when I searched for a keyword and got 36 random results when I know I have hundreds of photos tagged with that particular keyword. I started typing in other keywords and getting the same sort of results- very limited numbers of photos I have hundreds of. I always include all subfolders in all searches and used every search method available through Bridge to no avail. The searches always came up with a fraction of the photos I actually have tagged.
    Maybe you need to let the indexing in find do its work again but it might also be a snow leopard issue. Try an other app (Digital Asset Management like Expresion Media or  Portfolio) to check about the keywording and find. You can use a trial version for several days. You have several options to use find keywords. In the panel itself, in the filterpanel uner the keyword tab, when clicking on a visible keyword it only shows the files with that keyword or in the menu Edit / find (shortcut cmd + F) explore the options in this menu and also choose include non indexed and let Bridge start to index your files again.
    However, when I clicked on an individual file in the Content pane, some of my Keywords started to appear in italics below the rest of my Keyword tree. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to why some images will return the Keywords normally and others in italics. Also, sometime the italicized keyword tree will include keywords I edited due to typos and thus no longer existing my normal Keyword tree. I gave the "Make Persistent" command a try. It converts the italics to regular case, but it also doubles the tag so I now have two of that tag (one in the normal keyword tree, and the now converted italics keyword tree.)
    Don't know about that.
    Here's two short videos of what happens when I navigate a folder with NEF files by manually searching:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDjUDZzULKQ
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y9HkDK7DCs

    As you can see the black border around some file that disappear after a while or when you select them they have not been cached. You used purge cache so most of your earlier cached results are gone and need to rebuild.

  • Problems with Bridge CS4.

    Dear members:
    Since my last disappointing experiences with Bridge I decided I would wait until CS4 had been out for a while and Adobe had the chance to clean all the bugs and problems with the first releases. I am now beginning to use the CS Premium suite and Bridge is by far the one application I used the most to browse my large library of photos.
    In trying to use for the past few days I have run into numerous problems. Some of them are:
    1. When I first launch the application I get an error message stating the following:
    " Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation. "
    2. While building previews for a folder with approximately 200 images Bridge displayed a message stating the it was low on memory and suggesting I should restart it. This has happened to other folders and not just this one, some with more and some with less images. I am sure the issue has nothing to do with memory as I have always used Bridge CS3 with these folders without any such problems.
    3. Despite the fact that all my image folders contain thumbnails and previews previously created by CS3 the new Bridge CS4 treats them as if they contained nothing. The application starts the whole process all over again and takes longer than CS3 did to perform the same task.
    My computer is a Powermac G5 dual 2.0 GHz with 4.5 GB RAM and two internal 1.5 GB HD. Considering this kind of internal RAM I don't think memory should be an issue.
    I ran the update tool but couldn't find any newer version of Bridge CS4. To the best of my knowledge I am running the latest versions of all applications in the CS4 Premium suite
    Some of the questions I have are:
    1. Can't CS4 use the thumbnails and previews that were previously built by Bridge CS3 ? Will the application have to start this whole process all over again for every single folder I have ?
    2. Why all these error messages and bugs ?
    3. Is CS4 really slower than CS3 ? So far this has been my experience.
    4. Considering at least one bug remains from the previous CS3 version (the little triangles that appear next to folders even when there are no subdirectories) how many problems should I expect to find with this new version ?
    My apologies for all the questions above but the answers are important as I am now beginning to use the application for critical tasks.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Joseph

    There appears to be many problems in all versions of Adobe Creative Suite with Bridge.
    I have a few post currently and even the employees of Adobe seem very uninterested in helping at all. They sure offer info on posting correct data and correct forum but little else to help resolve our problems.
    The majority of problems you  are incurring I have had and 99% were cured within the "Security>User" settings. Check similiar posts that are listed to the right of your post.
    The final problem of "Not enough memory" has still not been resolved. Phone Tech support is no longer available free and I even paid for 1 session, spent 3.5 hours with the Tech and problem was "escalated"....that was in August 2010!!
    Good luck!

  • Bridge CS4 Batch Action Problem

    When using CS2 I was in the habit of working first from RAW, then creating a folder-full of .psd files, that I then converted to .jpg files by choosing Tools/Photoshop/Batch so that Bridge could run my DIY psd-to-jpg action sequentially on all the file I had selected in Bridge. In Bridge CS4 I'm having real problems doing this as Bridge so far won't seem to let me tell it where to look for an action file- the Tools/Photoshop/Batch dialogue doesn't seem to give me the option of loading an action, I can't seem to find where to *copy* my .atn file so that it shows up in the list of actions in the Tools/Photoshop/Batch dialogue as it should... and so on. It seems there's quite a few niggles like this that many people seem to spend a lot of precious time dealing with when upgrading say from CS2 to CS4 ... anyhow,
    any suggestions? thanks in advance, Richard E

    Load the action (.atn) file in Photoshop ps4: actions palette flyout menu > Load Actions then navigate to where you have saved the action from ps2.

  • Preview pdf problem in Bridge CS4

    Hello,
    When I want to make preview prints from PDF files sometimes I see double pages, and I think one is a low resolution file and the other is a high resolution file. So I have a problem to make previews of these double pages in Bridge CS4. Does anybody know this problem and how can I solve this, any help with this is very welcome. I can open the file in Acrobat Reader and I just see one page!

    You must have done a screen shot of the thumbnail as the enlarged version is same size.  But can still see difference.
    I would revisit your thumbnail setting and make sure it is HQ Iif you want to see edits in thumbs, and  check the default ACR setting.  Don't assume they are the same as computer can do unexpected things.
    Read the link I gave in post #1 as see if you have all the correct options selected.
    When you click on thumb does the preveiw panel show the same dull image or a correct one?
    It is possible the update fouled everything up, but seems like there would be more complaints.  I am still on ACR 6.4 however.  Am a slow adopter.

  • Bridge CS4 - MP4 preview playback problem

    In Bridge CS4 on Windows, the preview playback of MP4 files sometimes works and sometimes it does not. If not, Bridge shows only an icon in the preview pane and there is no preview start button.
    I have sets of MP4 footage that work OK, but other sets can only partly be previewed. Another strange behavior of Bridge is that in some cases after changing the file's name, the program suddenly does not show the preview anymore.
    Is there anyone else having the same problems?

    Read this thread, especially post #19 and see if it solves your problem.  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652660?tstart=0
    All MPEG files are not the same so just becasue one play does not mean they all play.
    If changed files do not show up purge the cache (tools/cache/purge cache) and let it rebuild.

  • Canon G15 - problem seeing correct Exposure Mode when browsing in Bridge CS4

    I have PSE8 & Bridge CS4.
    In Bridge Preferences I have ticked the box Exposure Mode under Camera Data(EXIF), but regardless of which Mode I actually shoot i.e Auto, P,Tv,Av etc, the indication in Bridge when browsing the photos always shows the Exposure Mode as Auto with the exception of when shooting in Manual Mode when it is shown correctly as Manual.
    I would be grateful for any assistance in enabling the correct display of Exposure Mode when browsing in Bridge.
    My Mac OS is 10.6.8.

    Dear Curt,
    yes, updated to latest versions (11.0.1).
    I use the camera for uploading already 5 years (with all previous Canon camera's also) without any problem.
    The files are not visible as a thumbnail in explorer because they are RAW format and windows does not support that format.
    For that reason I check the files with Canon software first, and then they show correct.
    If I check first with Canon software the files open correct without problems.
    After that I open them with Photoshop and then a problem occurs.
    So I am convinced that it is a software problem with the Adobe package.
    I just hope that the original files are not corrupted.
    I am afraid they are because after opening with the software from Adobe they also open corrupt with Cannon software (this means that Adobe does something with the file).
    It is very strange to me.
