CS5 Mini Bridge Panel

Well Mini Bridge sorta works for me?
http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/1139/minibridge.png
When I drag the panel with the mouse it's fine, but when I let go it goes blank.
Windows XP SP3
Intel Core 2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13ghz
2.00 GB RAM
Nvidia Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI

A colleague has the exact same monitor as me.
I loaded back in the original ICC profile for the monitor on my computer.
And on my colleagues computer it works fine, you can toggle that button all you like,.
But on my computer it makes the panels go blank.
So probably not an Adobe bug, but a setting on my computer somewhere.

Photoshop CS5 Mini Bridge Annoying Beep

I have an annoying issue with the Mini Bridge in Photoshop CS5, and I believe anyone could reproduce it if you do the following:
Open Photoshop CS5.
Have the Mini Bridge palette collapsed as an icon, docked somewhere (you can simply use the "Photography" workspace to do that).
Open anything, perhaps a new document.
Click on the Mini Bridge palette icon to open the Mini Bridge. Wait until it loads.
Then click on the same Mini Bridge icon again to collapse it.
Make sure your speakers are on.
Now press Space as you would do to pan around the document. You don't have to pan, it's enough to just press Space.
You will hear a beep sound, which you usually hear when OS X tells you that you're clicking an inactive window, or typing in a window that does not accept keyboard input, or in other similar situations. The beep will sound repeatedly while you hold Space down to pan around. It will sound each and every time you press space from then on, until you interact with the document using some other tool (like drawing something with the brush tool). Then the sound no longer happens when panning again.
The problem has occasionally happened to me when using other collapsed iconic palettes as well, however, I cannot always reproduce them.
This is a small issue that doesn't affect workflow, but having to click extra tools just to get rid of the beeping sound is very annoying, enough to make me not use the Mini Bridge.
I'm running Snow Leopard.
If anyone else can reproduce the issue, please post here. I can reproduce it every single time.

>But that's still not a proper solution.
we're not in a very good situation to know what or when Adobe will respond. We know that they are aware of many bugs but since history is all we have, CS4 had only 1 update before CS5 was released and we've already had that same first quarter update. So, without any more information I can only assume that the next fix will be after CS6 is released.
I know that Adobe can't discuss future plans...... but what Adobe can and can not do is up to them. So if Adobe wanted to announce an upcoming fix they could ( and they have in the past ). I can understand keeping new product releases under wraps, but this is just a fix for something that .... well..... we have already purchased.
>Just go to Mac 'System Preferences' - 'Sound', set the volume of the error beep to minimum and forget about it.
So, yes I have had the error sound set to "funk" and on very low for quite a while, which results in a low clicking sound.
Again, I feel like I need to repeat this, I like CS5, love PS, but some things can be better, and isn't that why we are all here. It just seems odd that you can purchase something today that has bugs but can't ask the vendor when it will be fixed?
regards.

CS5 Mini Bridge Opens Images in Windows Paint

Can anyone tell me how to open images with Mini Bridge into Photoshop CS5? I have both an XP and a Windows 7 64-bit computer. I just downloaded the update to the CS5 program I had already installed and now when I go to open a JPEG image in Mini Bridge it opens the image in a program called Paint. When I use Bridge itself, with the settings set to "Automatically open all supported JPEGs" it opens my JPEG images in Camera Raw (which is fine). Do I have to reset the Preferences in order to clear everything out and start from scratch or is there another workaround that someone can tell me?
Thanks.

Yes, that is exactly what I did. Should I then always keep the prior version available in the computer or uninstall the earlier version before installing the upgrade version? I don't recall having this problem in earlier versions of LR or Photoshop.
I will go ahead and reinstall both CS5 and LR3 after deactivating. Darn I was hoping there would be a workaround, but I have no idea what the previous file associations would have been or how to change them in LR. I sure did learn a valuable lesson though.
Thanks for all your help and guidance; it is truly appreciated.

CS5 + Mini Bridge

On a Mac, OS 10.6.7 using ID CS5. Odd behavior in MiniBridge. If I try selecting a file or multiple files for dragging into my ID document, a single mouse click on the file opens the image in Photoshop. It didn't do this originally - actually let me select multiple files for placing. If this is a preference setting I haven't been able to find it. Wanted to ask before I go about trashing my preferences.

You have to provide exact system information. What version of OSX? What Mac? What are your preferences? Workspaces? Lots of tiny details...

How do I launch mini bridge in photoshop cs5?

Can't find the mini bridge function in in the meny panal on photoshop.
Any tips?

I don't have CS5 currently installed. I'll show you in CC. There is no mini bridge in CC 2014. Mini Bridge is an extension so you can use menu Window>Extension>Mini Bridge to open the Mini Bridge Panel. If the bridge is not running in the background you should see a button in the mini bridge panel you can use to launch the bridge. Once up the mini bridge pabel should function.

I am trying to use the Mini Bridge in Adobe Photoshop CS6 (desktop) and all I get is "Waiting for Bridge CS6 ..." in the panel at the bottom of the screen.

I am running on a Core i7 iMac with 20GB or RAM and have already done the two applicable steps in the main Adobe help area relating to Switchboard (Error: Waiting for Bridge | Mini Bridge panel) to no avail. Any ideas?

Have you tried to start the bridge CS6 then open Photoshop CS6 try to use the mini bridge.
I have a problem on windows too. Sometimes when I open CS6 version 13.1.2 and try to use the mini bridge Its panels has a message Bridge must be running and there is a launch bridge button. When I use that button Bridge gets launched but may hangs before displaying its application window or anything in the mini bridge panel. I can terminate the bridge when this happens with windows task manager and start the bridge. After doing that the mini bridge launch button became a reconnect button using it mini bridge then work.
I can also start Bridge CS6 before Photoshop CS6 and mini bridge works as soon as Photoshop is up and running.

Mini Bridge in Illustrator

I am a big user of the Bridge and when I started using the CS5 suite I picked up on the Mini Bridge very well in both Photoshop and InDesign. I was disappointed that Illustrator didn't have this panel. I am requesting that Illustrator adds the Mini Bridge panel to all the other great tools that Illustrator has to offer.
Thank you,
Steve Lark

Support! And on this occasion a decent tool forrelated images such as the indd. Especially to the lost links.

[bridge cc] Mini bridge cannot be launched

Running adobe cc tools on win7
I have the
With Bridge cc (verified from help/`about bridte') running, I cannot get a minibridge. The full message reads:
Mini bridge cannot be launched because the
Mini the bridge extension is not installed
I'm not finding any instructions about how to install it, and a few posts here from Oct. indicate it is part of the CC tools.
Further ; I don't see anything on the cc installer/update tool about any such extension.

If it is a panel, how is that panel accessed? It is not amongst the panels listed under Windows menu item. The only reference I see is under File/Browse in Mini bridge
It should be in your PS Window menu under Window / Extensions / Mini Bridge If it has checkmark in front it should also be visible as a docked panel. The default workspace for PS CC has both Timeline and Mini Bridge docked as panels at the bottom of your PS screen (however this is for a Mac using the Application Frame, don's have Windows but it should be there by default, certainly if Mini Bridge is listed under extensions and has a checkmark in front)
Now from PS I click `File' / `Browse in Mini bridge'. At that point a small window pops open with this informaiton:
....Mini Bridge could not be launched because the
....Mini Bridge extension is not installed
That is indeed strange, on my system using the command to browse in Mini Bridge opens the MB panel wether I have it selected or not with a checkmark under Extensions.
So how am I to access the mini-bridge panel?
What have done wrong in the steps above?
The only thing that seems wrong is your install. First check if you have the latest updates for PS and Bridge using your Creative Cloud Application (which also should be up to date).
Then consider both PS and Bridge to reset preferences. for PS hold down shift + option + Command (Win - ctrl) while restart PS and choose delete pref settings file. For Bridge hold down option (Win-ctrl) key while restart Bridge.
If still no luck consider to uninstall using the official uninstallers for Adobe and then use ACC to reinstall. If still in trouble consider the same procedure but then with the use of Adobe Clean Tool.
In all cases first be sure to have a proper back up and also make sure you have your custom settings for PS (actions, brushes, presets etc) as well as for Bridge (export the keyword list also) before uninstall and use of clean tool
here is the info for the clean tool:

Item appears twice in Mini Bridge InDesign CS6

One of our guys here keeps seeing duplicate items in Mini Bridge in InDesign CS6. When looking at the folder in Bridge, Finder or Windows Explorer, we can see just one of each image in there, but looking at the folder via Mini Bridge shows one or two of the images in duplicate.
It seems it doesn't matter which of the duplicates he drags on the page, either of them works fine. But it is cluttering up his Mini Bridge panel and he's worried that he might accidentally delete items by trying to get rid of the duplicates.
It only affects this one user. I've suggested deleting his InDesign preference files it's not fixing the problem.
Any suggestions? I have to say that Mini Bridge in InDesign CS6 has been surprisingly problematic compared with CS5. I wish Adobe had left it alone.
Ali

I suspect the problem is in Bridge, not ID.
Try clearing the Bridge caches or, if that doesn't work, resetting the Bridge prefs. On my Windows system you can do either of those by holding down Ctrl + Alt + Shift as Bridge starts up. On Mac I presume Cmd + Control + Opt + Shift would work the same.

I have adobe cs6 and I can't get bridge or mini bridge open. All I get is "waiting for bridge." can anyone help?

This tech doc should help. Simply try out each step one at a time until it works.

Mini Bridge doesn't open

In Photoshop CC, when I tried File/Browse in Mini Bridge, it opened the Character/Paragraph and Layer Comps panels, but not the Mini Bridge Panel. What's wrong?

Gene,
Unfortunately this did not do the trick.
I've got the exact same issue on two systems, both Windows 7 based with fresh installs of CS6 and Lightroom 4.
Spent a good 45 minutes on the phone with Adobe support and they are scratching their heads as well. For now looks like using review mode in mini bridge would be a great way to open up files you want to work on, but in reality it doesn't work. The tech I've dealt with at Adobe is having the exact same issue as well.
Not quite ready for primetime...

How to open mini bridge in photoshop

I am trying to figure out how to open the mini bridge panel in photoshop

Mini bridge is available in CS6 or older. It was removed in the CC and CC 2014 versions. However since it required the full version of bridge to be open anyway, might as well use it. You can drag and drop between apps, or double click on an image in bridge to open it in photoshop.

Mini Bridge in CS6 InDesign won't sort files

I am running CS6 on Snow Leopard.
When I open the mini bridge panel in InDesign I can't sort any files in the Nav Pod. It has no effect on the file sort.
I have updated the CS software and reset my bridge preferences. Do you have any other suggestions?
Bridge works fine.

I have 8 MB of RAM. I restarted all the software, but not my computer.
It is in the left column that I am having the problem.
There was a previous discussion thread where a user on Mountain Lion was having the same issue, but it wasn't resolved in that discussion thread either.

I can not reset factory default settings in photoshop, which will enable the "mini bridge". any ideas???

I tried uninstall and installing the program. I am taking a class and I need to open the "mini bridge" within the program. The instructions were to open the program and as it was opening, press cntrl, alt and shift to access the default settings. I did this and the prompt came up asking if I wanted to go to factory default settings, I responded yes. The program continued to open and should have shown the mini bridge tab in lower left c@orner of the application page, nothing shows up. This is my dilema.

Hi,
The Mini Bridge panel is no longer available in the most current major version (15.x) of Ps CC aka 2014. You can install the previous major version, Ps CC (14.2.1) by using the Creative Cloud desktop application.
