Bridge CS5 file associations not correct...

When I try to open an office 2007 document, the default application is set to Thunderbird and when I try to edit it in the Edit>Preverences>File Type Associations, it isn't listed at all. My OS default applicaions for Office 2007 files are all correct, it's just Bridge that I have the problem. Any ideas?

The file properties are correctn and the files open in the oppropriate program when opened via double clicking in Explorer, it's only in Bridge that I have the problem. If I right click the file in Bridge, I have the choice of the correct application and then underneath, Thunderbird (default). So the option is there, it just won't let me make it the default. As seen below...

Files are not correctly named and only 1kb in size - Music Downloads

I have encountered a different problem. I bought a music album on my Z10, and when i download it, the files are not correctly named and only 1kb in size.
No error is given when downloading, but when i open it, the phone switches to the music player and clains the file does not exist. When i look on the sdcard, there are files which contain something like this:
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a href="http://media.geo.7digital.com/media/error.aspx?errorCode=2001&errorMsg=The%2btrack%2b'8638556'%2...">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>
Is there any way how I can deal with this problem?

Ok, does anyone from support read here? I bought this album on 23rd of March. Emails to the appworldsupport email adress from the confirmation email give me just the information back that "direct support is unavailable through this address" I would really like to finally listen to my music... As i paid for it. It still does not download... Is there any email address i can contact for this issue?

How do I change Bridge CC file association preferences from CS6?

I've changed Bridge CC file associations from CS6 manually to Photoshop CC. It remembers only for the open session then reverts back.

Lost file associations (Not the old version issue) Win 7 & CS5

Something corrupted my installation of CS5 a month or so ago after it had been working correctly and I lost all the image file associations. Photoshop worked fine but only if I directly opened files from within. Also all the other image packages were missing from the file association list in the Windows 7 file associations tool, not just Photoshop. Using the Windows tool to find the programmes dot exe file and create an association also locked up at the select the right package phase.
I have fixed this now and my reason for posting is that several previously suggested fixes in both the MS Windows fora and elsewhere on these Adobe forums were either very complicated requiring direct registry editing or didn't work. It has taken me a while to find a work-around that worked, hence this post.
1) Firstly - as is stated elesewhere the obvious answer of simply reinstalling Photoshop over the existing copy doesn't work! Unfortunately it was a while before I found this out, with several time wasting retries of this as a fix attempt.
2) Not saying this is guaranteed to work in every case but I ran a 3rd party free Registry Cleaner tool, this appears to have fixed the bug in the registry allowing the Windows 7 File Associations tool to work properly again. Once that was fixed linking up each graphic type was simple.
Reason for posting is I wasted lots of time thinking the issue must have been a legacy from my earlier instal of a trial version of Master Suite or the older Photoshop 7 being replaced even though my CS5 edition had been working Ok for some time. because this is what is given as the usual cause. However I think in my case it was after loading and then deleting other graphics software, possibly Real Player, which had grabbed the associations and corruped registry settings somehow at uninstall. It appears registry cleaner restored the corruption and allowed the standard Win 7 tool to work again.
Hope this can help someone else.

First, let me say thanks to John for posting his experience here. I think that Adobe does a poor job of managing file associations, given that we do hear of a lot of folks who see them get fouled up due to doing normal things like uninstalling earlier versions.
I'd like to ask, though: Did you try using the Preferences - File Type Associations dialog in Bridge?

A comment on "registry cleaners" in general:
I am a career computer "geek", and yes, Curt's right: Registry cleaners in general are a terrible idea. There are a few that encompass some valuable functionality such as deletion of old files from TEMP folders, but that's something one can do on one's own as well.
It's simply impossible for the programmer of a piece of software to know what information can be safely deleted from YOUR file system or YOUR Windows registry, which is a database.
Nor is it necessary to "clean" a registry regularly, as some say, to keep a system working well. That's hype, propagated by the registry cleaner makers. I use a system every day that's on the same installation of Windows 7 that first went in at the end of 2009. It's stable and fast as ever. I've even done several hardware upgrades and restored the same OS setup using system image backups just to keep the same fully configured, perfectly working system.
Ever hear people claim they have to reinstall Windows every so often? One of the reasons could well be that they've used a registry cleaner.

After updating Macbook to Yosemite, Adobe Bridge CS5.1 will not batch rename .jpgs without corrupting the files. How can I fix this?

I have a student who when he tries to batch rename his .jpgs in Adobe Bridge CS5.1, the files will become corrupted and will not be able to open them. The extension is off. How can I correct this for him?

Wait, I just caught this:

Are you referring to the 3-letter ".jpg" extension being deleted? You can't do that, of course! If that is still the case, you'll have to add it manually to each JPEG file.

Bridge CS6 File Association Issues

Hello,
The problem I am having is this:
I am associating a new program, RAWDigger with the NEF file type. It works and it makes RAWDigger as the default. When I go back to the File Association, RAWDigger doesn't even show up in the list. To make CS6 to be the default again I simply click on it in the list and it becomes the default. But RAWDigger is not in the list and I can't select it. What should I do?
And also why does the list contain two instances of the same software when I have one instance of it installed?
Thanks for any help.
Farzad

I have now uninstalled CS5. Things have not changed.
Clarification: When I add RAWDigger as one of the applications associated with the NEF it becomes the default application that Bridge will open an NEF with upon double clicking. When I go back to the preferences and select CS6 as the default I oberve that RAWDigger is not even in the list of programs. And then when CS6 is selected as default, then RAWDigger is not in the list again.
Here are the five screen captures that explain what I am doing and what results I am getting:
This is the default in Bridge - File Type Association
This is how the default looks like in Bridge:
Adding RAWDigger to the list in Bridge:
RAWDigger is now default in Bridge:
Back to Bridge Preferences:
RAWDigger is the default but it is not among the list.
CS6 is selected to be default - no RAWDigger in the list:
Maybe it is a RAWDigger thing. I will experiment with other programs and report back.
Thanks.

CS3/CS5 File Associations OS X

Hi all,
I have had to install InDesign CS5 on 4 of our Macs here for iPad development, but these 4 Macs will still be using CS3 for normal everyday magazine publishing. We can't upgrade the rest of the team to CS5 until next year so they have to continue to use CS3 until then.
The problem is after installing CS5 you cannot change the file association for .indd files back to CS3, when you try it just reverts back to CS5 instantly. Is there a way around this, as by force of habit the users with CS5 are going to double click on files and have it open in CS5 and before they realise have modified or saved the file in a format that isn't backwards compatible.
Is there a way around this problem? I have set the file associations back to CS3 within Bridge but that will only work for files being opened within Bridge itself.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris

Our Soxy works around this issue too. When I am in the process of testing scripts, I often have CS3, CS4 and CS5 running concurrently - and thanks to Soxy, double-clicked files .indd still always open in the correct app, unlike the Mac standard behaviour to try and open the .indd file in whatever InDesign version you happen to have running.
Cheers,
Kris

PS/Bridge CS5 Batch Processor Not Working / Missing Scripts

I'm having a bit of a problem within Photoshop/Bridge CS5 and haven't found anything that works to resolve it.
In Bridge, I want to launch the Photoshop Batch Processor via Tools>Photoshop>Batch.
When I select this, Photoshop launches, but the dialog to process the images never shows. On occasion, if I return to Bridge and attempt the same operation again, I'll get a notification that there's already something in progress and asks if I want to queue this operation. The other times (majority) I can return to Bridge and attempt the operation again but get no dialogues in Photoshop. I can try the other options in this menu as well (eg Image Processor, etc) and get the same results.
Here's what I've done so far:
1. Checked Bridge Edit>Preferences>Startup Scripts and ensured those were all checked. I even disabled all, closed Bridge and Photoshop, then re-enabled.
2. Cleared all Preferences from Bridge and Photoshop (using Ctrl+Shift+Alt at launch).
3. Reinstalled Photoshop (multiple times)
4. Uninstalled Photoshop, ran the Adobe CS Cleaner application, then reinstalled Photoshop.
It should be noted that in Bridge>Edit>Preferences and Startup Scripts, if I click the button to 'Reveal my scripts' the folder it takes me to is blank. Not sure if this folder is solely used for personal/user created scripts or for others as well, but it's completely empty.
I have also gone to Help>Updates and updated both applications with any necessary updates from Adobe.
If I go into Photoshop and select File>Automate>Batch or even File>Scripts>Image Processor, both dialogues open fine.
Running Windows 8.1 Pro.
Anyone else seen this and actually resolve the issue? Does anyone know where the scripts are supposed to be located and/or if I can get them from somewhere else? Any help is much appreciated

Make sure Photoshop is not started and then try to use Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch does Photoshop start up?
Bridge CS5 menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch works on my Windows 7 Pro system
Photoshop Automate>Batch is not a script and Photoshop does not any external java program it had its own version of java plugin.
c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Extensions\ScriptingSupport.8li
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Extensions\ScriptingSupport.8li
However there are two startup scripts for the bridge involved Bridge and Photoshop You must have them for you have a Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>items
two scripts on my system are:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS5\Adobe Bridge\bridge-4.jsx
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS5\Adobe Photoshop\photoshop.jsx
The photoshop.jsx seems to be the one the the inserts the menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch into Bridge and also invokes Photosgop Automate>batch photoshop.jsx also inserts the other Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Menu Itens that you state work.
Here is what I see in my photoshop.jsx for batch. I do not know or understand Bridge scripting and do not know javsscript but what I see there seems to be some checking done about Photoshop being available and if it is not the script just returns which is what you seem to be experiencing the test looks like this

CS5 file is not compatible error

"Cannot complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop"
Hi, I'm sick of my computer problems...
So I'm trying to make an animation, I'm using about 4 or more video layers in order to do so, and I noticed this issue.
I save my file, and then try to reopen it and it gives me this error.
Why? Should this not be fixed? Or how can I fix it? I would really appreciate it because I have a deadline ^_^
I also tested it, I tried remaking the same thing, saved it as a different file name and kept the same one open, I try to open the saved file into photoshop and gives me the same issue.
- I also checked my HDD with checkdisk, no errors, what do you know
- I can also see the image clearly in Adobe Bridge, hello file I can't open.
- I tried to open the file on CS4 32-bit on my other computer, and guess what, it works fine and opened fine without issue. Why?
I'm using WIndows 7
Photoshop CS5 Extended
I work in the 32bit version, but I have both versions installed (32 and 64 bit) I feel more comfortable working in 32 bit, the files will not open in64 bit either.
If there's a way to fix this stupid issue, let me know thank you very much.

1) Make sure you installed all the updates for Photoshop CS5. The current version is 12.0.4.
My guess is that you are still on 12.0.0.
2) Check your disk for problems/corruption.

Bridge CS5.1 is not respoding. Getting error messages that there is not enough memory and need to clear central cash.

On MAC OS X 10.7.5. Editing raw files in Bridge and have been getting error messages every time I open Bridge that there is not enough memory. Other messages are to clear the central cache. Can't find the central cache on my system. Please help!

Have you tried completing the pano without selecting edge fill. Then crop the result or use the clone stamp to fill the blanks.

Name of the file generated not correct

Hi all,
We are using E-Business Suite R12. We have a concurrent request with executable Oracle Report and output type: XML. When is submitted we try to save it in Excel but the name of the file is not with the correct name/report name/ but in "hieroglyphics". The name of the report is in Cyrillic alphabet.
The result we received:Р РµРіРёСЃС‚СЉСЂ_РЅР°_С„Р°РєС‚_200212The result needed: Регистър на фактурите 200212.
Any ideas? I'm not sure i'm asking at the right place... if not - please guide where to post thread.
RDBMS : 11.1.0.7.0
Oracle Applications : 12.1.3Thanks in advance,

you can't get the generated filename for write operation.
But what you can do, is to define header variable of OutboundHeader_msg type, define your own filename (based on your unique creation criteria) and then pass it to invoke activity for file creation.

Open Hub Destination with Flat File - Structure file is not correct

Using the new concept for Open Hub destination (NOT an InfoSpoke).
Output is to a Flat File. Remember that when output is to a flat file 2 files are generated: the output file and a structure file (S_<name of output file>.CSV)
The Output file structure corresponds to the structure defined in the Open Hub destination.
However, the S_ (structure) file does not reflect the proper structure. The S_ file lists all fields sorted in alphabetical order based on the field name, instead of listing all fields in the correct order that they appear in the output file.
I have not found any settings that I can modify for the S_ file. When using InfoSpokes the S_ file is correct and I do not have to do anything.
The issue is that the S_ file cannot be used to describe the output file. This is a problem.
Anyone knows a solution to this issue? The goal is to get the S_ file to reflect the proper structure.
I could not find any Notes on this. Please do not send general help links, this is a specific question.
Thank you all for your support.

Hi,
However, the S_ (structure) file does not reflect the proper structure. The S_ file lists all fields sorted in alphabetical order based on the field name, instead of listing all fields in the correct order that they appear in the output file.
As I know and checked this is not the case. The S_ file has the fields in the order of infospoke object sequence ( and in transformation tab, source structure).
I would suggest you to control it again.

Bridge CS5 preview / slideshow not working on 27" Apple Cinema Display

I'm using my 2009 (black key) MacBookPro and Mac OS X 10.6.7 running Snow Leopard.
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Adobe Bridge CS5 works beautifully on my MBP, my photography workflow depends on Bridge.
However, when I attach my 27" Apple Cinema Display and try to preview images by hitting the space bar I get a gray screen. Likewise, the slideshow renders only gray.
It's not the "black out other monitor". I've cleared the cache to re-render all the previews.
I've scoured these forums as well as the Apple ones, and the helpful folks currently at Photoshop World in Orlando advised me that, collectively, the kind people here know everything. I know I can't be the only photographer who uses this configuration. I'd like to use the display for client previews/ordering.
I would so appreciate any tips you may have for me; thank you in advance for your time.
Warmly,
Darcy

Yes, thank you. I found that post - among others when researching before I asked. I tried all the suggestions in that one and in the others.
My issue isn't low quality rendering in the preview and slideshow - my issue is NO rendering at all in slideshow and preview. It's just blank. Gray.
I deleted the cache in my library and through the Bridge program itself to rebuild the previews. I tried the various options of "software rendering" on and off, and different configurations in the preferences and none seem to make the preview or slideshow work. I have all the updates from Adobe and from Mac.
I tried importing the photos I need to show my clients (who are coming to my studio this evening!) into Lightroom 3, and the LR slideshow works. But using LR and having to import photos into it is an extra step not in my workflow.
Ideally, I can make Bridge work instead of making yet another resource-consuming copy of these photos on this computer via the Lr library.
So - current state is unsolved.
Lightroom 3 slideshow and preview works, but isn't ideal since it involves importing the images into Lr. Since that works - would that mean my video card is acceptable?
Bridge can show thumbnails on the 27" display but no preview or slideshow.
Bridge preview and slideshow works perfectly on my 15" MacBook Pro.
I'm so disappointed since I bought the 27" Apple Cinema Display this week and was told it would work with my computer "out of the box" - I was sure to ask several times, "so there's nothing else I need to buy or do to make this work with my programs? Just plugin and go?" and several times I was assured, "Yes... plugin and go."
I sure would appreciate anyone who's made Adobe Bridge work with a 27" display. Thank you!

CS5 file will not open directly

My CS5 .INDD (7.0.4) file no longer opens directly from the Finder or within INDD. When opening, the beachball begins spining and "Force Quit" indicates INDD "Is not responsive". After force quiting and re-opening INDD, the file opens as an unsaved file. I've tried coping and pasting the one-page document, into a new file, but the same thing happens.
This all began when I attempted to create a "Package" of the document, using "File>Package". The package process would never complete and I was forced to force quit the program. The Package folder appeared to have all the files/fonts, but the resulting INDD file would not open, nor would the original INDD file. Although both will open as "recovered" files when INDD is re-booted.
How can I repair my file?
Thanks,
Ray

Ther first thing I would do is move EVERYTHING out of the InDesign Recovery folder to a safe location (don't delete it, yet) so that ID is not trying to recover anything on startup. Taht should allow the program to either open cleanly, or confirm that the crash did serious damage to the program and let you know that you need to reinstall.
Once ID is open, try using File > Open... to open the files from the original locations. They may be damaged, also, and non-recoverable except from backups or the recovery data that you are preserving, if that isn't also corrupt.
