Bridge Workspace Settings?

I customized the Essentials view in Bridge to show 15 images at a time, locked the thumbnail grid, and widened out both of the side panels as I have a 22" monitor. I then saved it as a new workspace. However, each time I shutdown my computer, restart it and open up bridge it says its using my new saved workspace but all of the customizations that I made as described above are gone. Am I missing something here? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. :-)

Now I reread your original email and see I have missed something. My issue isn't exactly the same. I have created MY default workspace with my customizations. Restarted the PC and opening Bridge and my default workspace doesn't open BUT I am able to click in this case, Bob's Space and it all comes back.
What I wanted was the ability to customize my workspace and have Bridge open with that each time. Under these cicumstances and I have to click on Bob's Space each time Bridge opens.

How do I save Bridge workspace settings so that screen opens as I want it?

I use CS3 on Intel iMac. Recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, but had printer problems and have uninstalled and gone back to Leopard fttb. Software wiped of course and carelessly I didn't save PS settings. CS3 now reinstalled.
I use Bridge to scroll through my images and then open in PS. I know how to save my own customised workspace (Window, Workspace, Save etc) and I make it Workspace 1 in the lower right boxes. I like the panel maximised without any of my desktop showing (e.g. as when hitting the green button top left) and I like Folders opened up showing in left hand panel, with files showing in vertical film strip on right. Every time I open up Bridge the panel is smaller than the one I saved so I have to maximise the screen. Also Favorites opens up, not my Folders so I then have to open up several sub folders to get the right ones.
Before uninstalling then reinstalling Leopard, Bridge appeared the way I wanted but I can't figure out how to do it again i.e. it doesn't come on the way I left it.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Bob

How do I get bridge CS5 to open up with my saved workspace settings?

Every time I open bridge it opens with large thumbnails in an old folder. I have to "reset" my workspace (even though it is highlighted at the top of the page already!) and then select the last folder I was working on again.
Is there any way to get bridge to remember your last used folder and last used workspace setting and just re-open with those already set?
The current situation just leads to lots more unnecessary annoying clicking.
I've tried all the options I can find in preferences and tried creating ans saving different workspace settings but nothing seems to effect how bridge opens up the first time I use it in a session. I am running it on Windows 7.
Thanks,
Clive

That seems to solve it. I think your point about exiting bridge before shutting down is important, but you need to make sure bridge is showing the set-up you want to keep first. I now have a sensible opening screen. Thanks a lot.

Is there a way to export workspace settings?

The problem is, I work with a two-monitor setup. One is the actual working area with a painstakingly constructed layout of panels, the other one has a synchronized window with a full-screen Preview. Every once in a while I accidentally close the working area window, and because Bridge only saves a "current state" in workspaces, my painstakingly crafted window is just gone, poof (sound effect, not slang).
I know I can save a duplicate working space. That makes it somewhat easier, but I still have to delete the botched working space and create it again as a copy of the duplicate. This, coupled with the fact that the first stage of any troubleshooting on Bridge is to nuke all settings, makes me a bit uneasy with the solution.
I would be very grateful if someone knew of a way to export workspace settings so I could just load them back in when I mess up or Bridge does.

Would you mind disclosing the resolution of your 30" monitor in terms of pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high) ? I'm just curious to see how such a large monitor compares to my two side-by-side 22" monitors.
Hallo mr de Gokker!
Nice to see you also here
The resolution I use with my 30 " is the default one and set to 2560 x 1600 pixels
If I can take a little 'gamble' I assume the total pixel amount of 2 x 22" will be more, but I never could get used on the two monitor set up. I just like my tools to be close to the image I work on, and using the pen tool with a lot of Brushing and switching to different layers and combine this with action pallet in button mode that needs also a lot of pressing it would be to often en to much distance to travel for my hand, but that's just personal.

Exporting Bridge workspace

I want to export a Bridge workspace and then import it into Creative Cloud and share across all the seats I am administrating. Can someone help? I can't seem to figure this out.

Hi Ben,
I don't think there is built in functionality for this currently, so I think the only option would be to manually copy the workspace files between systems.
The file should be saved in the following locations. I'd only transfer it between the same version of Bridge and OS and with Bridge closed.
In Windows, WORKSPACE files are saved to the following directory:
[user]\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS[#] \Workspaces\
In Mac OS X, they are saved to the following directory:
[user]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge/Workspaces/
Win 7 for example
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge #\Workspaces
These are the Creative Cloud apps that support syncing settings currently:

Hope that helps,
-Dave

Fix (set in concrete) Bridge Workspace

How do I set a Bridge Workspace so that future alterations don't get saved by default?
Thanks,
Drew

If I select that named workspace, I get the changes regardless of whether I saved them.
You have to reset the workspace again using the triangle menu or right mouse click on workspace name itself.
I'm still trying to find out what I prefer but can't figure it out yet. there is a large number of people wanting to have the last use workspace being sticky for that particular workspace. Sometimes this suites me, sometimes not.
But the reset is something I got used to.

Hello! It would be nice to have a migration script in Bridge too...
In the past, there were folders you could copy, but given the database changes, I'm not sure, I need to check first with the team.
On a Mac, it is in the collections folders in ~Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/Bridge CS5/Collections/
PC(XP): C:Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS5\collections
VIsta/7: user/app data/roaming/Adobe/Bridge CS5/Collections
Hope this helps

When upgrading no files are copied from the previous version. So you will have to find them and copy them over. Locations are in post above.

Photoshop Workspace Settings Lost Every Reboot

If Photoshop crashes, or if I restart my computer, my workspace settings are set back to default. Actions specifically, though other settings seem impacted intermittently. Add-ons (purchased actions) disappear. Any ideas would be appreciated.
On an aside, the removal of the 'oil paint' filter from CS6 to CC is really disappointing.
Thank you.

Need downlowad for Output on Bridge Workspace switcher

Need to know how to download Output on Bridge Workspace switcher.

Thanks for your input. I will wait until Adobe fixes things but until then I have gone to Acrobat and it will do what I want in a different and less effective way. Time wasted by me on this show stopper problem is about 20 hours. Thanks for nothing Adobe. HLower

Flash CS4 starts loosing my workspace settings over and over again.

Recently my Flash CS4 keeps loosing my custom workspace settings. After last time i have even "created new" workspace, named and saved it. Now there is no trace of it anywhere and im looking at the default ones... This pisses me off like hell. Im on the clock here and this **** keeps happening. WTF?
p.s.
how do i open character (font) settings panel in window so i can attach it anywhere i want on the screen?

It sounds like your Preferences file is corrupted. You need to create a new one. Here's a link to the help file for that: Re-create preferences
If you are talking about the character settings in the Properties window, you can tear off the Properties tab and move it anywhere you like on the screen. If it's something else, then I have no idea.

I loose my Workspace settings when switching

I loose my Workspace settings when switching. All my keyboard shortcuts get deleted even
though my different workspaces are able to switch out. I have to go back and assign shortcuts all over again if i select another workspace.
any suggestions as to why?
thanks.

Have You saved the Keyboard Shortcuts before?
Because if »Keyboard Shortcuts« is clicked in the Save Workspace-dialog the Workspace will include the current Shortcuts-settings and, if invoked in the future, overwrite unsaved Keyboard Shortcut-changes, I think.
It might be better to not include the Keyboard Shortcuts in the Workspace but to manage them separately if one is prone to change them occasionally.

Hi Rooa,
All Users Portal Favourites are stored under Content Administration -> KM Content -> Root -> Userhome.
This folder has all the data related / specific to a user. You can trasport this through to ICE to your other environment (QA or prod).

I'm not sure what you mean by "the import doesn't work." If you're trying to use File>Import, that's for importing content or FCP XML; it definitely will not work for something like a workspace XML.
If there's a way to import a workspace, like there is for export presets, I'm not aware of it. I can think of two options, however:
manually copy the workspace XMLs to the folder I cited above (or, if your Documents folder redirects elsewhere, then in the Layouts folder at that location)
in Workspace submenu under Window, make sure the option "Import Workspace from Projects" is enabled, and then load a project that uses a workspace that you want to share.
