Layout always resets in Adobe Bridge

Hi,
every time I restart my PC, the layout in Bridge resets. Starting Bridge as an Admin doesn't help.
I'm running Photoshop/Bridge CS6 on Windows 8 (64bit)
I put in two screenshots to show the before and after:
It isn't a big deal, but it's anoying to reposition everyting after every restart :-/
hopefully anyone could help and thanks for trying

if I do this, it will also reset every thing in the new layout. Tried this already
It will reset:
1. The size of the preview pictures
2. the size of the left and right bars
To readjust this isn't a lot of work... but as mentioned, a bit anoying

Adobe Bridge Photo Downloader Results without using Photo Downloader

I always used the Photo Downloader to download files, rename them and organize them into folders named by date.
I recently upgraded to a Network Attached Storage device that has a USB Port directly on the front of it and allows me to dump all my camera files straight onto the external hard drive. However, it does not rename them - so it uses the raw file names that the camera assigns them and doesn't organize them in any way.
This is really handy for me as I don't have to copy 16gb of photos across a wireless network when I want to clear out a memory card. However, I haven't found a way to organize the files after the fact.
Is there any way to have Adobe Bridge (or any other Mac software!) go through those files and move/rename them the same way that Photo Downloader always did directly from the camera? How?
Thanks!

If you are sure your files have the metadata, in other words you can place your memory card into a reader and the information is there,
next step, is a total Bridge Preferences reset
Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears. Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.

Clear central cache? (in Adobe Bridge) message

I am using iMac with 10.5.8 and running Adobe CS3. In Bridge I am getting the following message:
"Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in cache preferences to correct the situation."
I cannot find any cache under the Adobe folders so does this mean it is an OS cache?
Can anyone help? I think it is a Mac problem but if more expert users than me think it is an Adobe one I will try there for answers.
Your help is much appreciated, as always!

I've had this problem on and off for years. I would purge the central cache like it says but it wouldn't fix the problem.
Finally, I found out how to perform a master reset on Adobe Bridge and posted about it at the link below.

It sounds like you got it figured out, but hopefully this will help someone in the future.

Can't import pic/video via Adobe Bridge anymore

I just installed ios 7 on the iphone 5.
I tried to import my pic/videos to my mac book pro via Adobe Bridge like I always do,
but Adobe Bridge(or iPhotos) doesn't recognize any files on the iphone.
I never had this issue before.
How can I make Bridge recognize the files for me to import the files to the computer?
If someone had the same problem and solved it please let me know.
thanks.

Hey Sue,
Thanks for the reply. The external drive is formatted MS-DOS File System (FAT32). I had to do this because I had problems with it at first when I was using it interchangeably with a Mac and a PC. When it was Mac formatted it wouldn't be compatible with my PC for some reason (or I could read files, but couldn't write - something like that). Any suggestions?
Thanks again,
Dylan

Adobe Bridge Always Opens CS2

Recent thunderstorn activity caused several rapid cycling of power on and off to my computer. Now have some change in behavior as how Adobe Bridge and PhotoShop CS2 interact. Previously I could open Bridge (ver. 1.0.4.6) as a standalone app and make my raw edits. Now upon trying to open Bridge, CS2 always opens first and then Bridge. CS2 always remains in the background. I am not able to open Bridge as atandalone. While this is not a major problem, it is certainly different from the workflow to which I was accustomed. I reinstalled Bridge and ACR 3.7 but same symptons present. Should I reinstall CS2? Any ideas??

I never had CS2, but in CS3 open PS and in the preferences section there is an option to "start Bridge on login". I don't recall an option to start PS at startup.
Might check the OS startup preferences.
If all else fails you can reset the preferences for Bridge and Photoshop. Believe for CS2 you have to press and hold down the ctrl + alt + shift while clicking on icon to start program.

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

I redownloaded my Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw will not accept my RAW files nor will the Adobe Bridge display the picture view of these files. A message displays saying it doesn't support this camera. I have a Nikon 5100 DSLR Camera. It always displayed them in the past. How can I get it to display these photos in Bridge and open them in RAW?

Why i am always ask to purge my cache in adobe bridge?

adobe bridge

I have gone to the Bridge preferences and purged my cache several times and that has not done anything to rectify the situation.
You still haven't provided much information (what computer, how much RAM, how much free space left etc etc.)
But in general, the central cache sometimes get corrupted, purging it in prefs is not always the solution, you might try it manual yourself. Quit Bridge and go to your user library (by default hidden, use Finder, menu Go with option to reveal) and inhere find the folder Caches / Adobe/ Bridge CC. In this folder are two files, a plug in and a folder called Cache. Drag both files outside the library, preferable trash, and restart Bridge to create both earlier deleted files again as new, fresh but empty files. Take a bit of time to recache your folder and try if this solved the problem.

Adobe Bridge CS6 keeps zooming into previews

Hi guys. I'm using Adobe Bridge CS6 to browse some media content, but each time I preview a video, it plays zoomed in about 20% or so. It does this for all video clips, all sizes, no matter how I try to reconfigure the layout, use OUTPUT mode, FILMSTRIP mode, ESSENTIALS etc, it still shows zoomed in.
I'm running Win7 64bit with a GTX570 with updated drivers.
Please help. Thanks.

You mean 200 % instead of 20 %??
Use the loupe on an image and check what the default zoom percentage is, it should show 100 % and if it is at 200 % you have to use your mouse scroll wheel to set it back to 100 % (it runs from 100 % to 200, 400 and 800 %).
If your video files exceed the preview window you have to enlarge this window or if the behavior keeps this way consider to reset the preferences of Bridge holding down control key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs.

Adobe Bridge CS3 photo downloader won't auto-open.

Hi,
This is my mystery:
I can open Bridge/File/Get Photos From Camera/, and select my cf card drive. But the Photo Downloader box USED to pop up when I first put my card in the reader. This does not happen any more - and I can't figure out why, or how to reset it.
Any ideas?

This may add Bridge to your list of "Open XXX with" programs.
1) Using Windows Explorer, browse to any of the photographs on your system - not necessarily on your camera card. It's helpful if all of your photographs are JPGs or TIFs, but not necessary.
2) Right-click one of the photo files and select "Properties".
3) Near the top of that dialog is "Open with <program name>", and there should be a "Change..." button to the right of that. Click the Change button.
4) On the "Open With" dialog, click the "Browse..." button and browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS3\Bridge.exe and click OK.
5) Now, still on the "Open With" dialog, make sure the "Always use the selected program..." check-box is turned OFF. (If you can't turn it off, that shouldn't be a problem.
6) Click OK and then close your Windows Explorer.
At this point, you should be able to complete step 6) from my previous post. (Of course you'll have to follow all of those steps from my previous post.)

Adobe Bridge Search Stuck On Current Folder

to start off, the adobe bridge search feature is loaded with glitches. sometimes it works great, other times not at all. well, today when i opened the program and tried to search for some files i found that for some reason i was only able to search in the current folder. all other options were gone and i could not uncheck the current folder option. does anyone know how to remedy this problem without a re-install?

thanks for replying, station_two. although i am certain this is a software issue, i will provide a brief rundown of my system. im running photoshop cc on win7 on a 6 core amd cpu with 16GB of RAM and an evga 650ti gpu. my specs exceed the requirements for the software. ive experienced several glitches with bridge over time and typically it always requires a re-install and its super annoying. prior to today, i had the ability to search my entire pc but now its "stuck" on current folder and that check mark cannot be unchecked. there are no error messages, the cameras used have nothing to do with this either. this is an apparent glitch with the software but im hoping someone may know a fix without a re-install. and yes, i already reset my bridge prefs to no avail.

Importing photos from iphoto to adobe bridge

Ultimately I want to put all my photos on adobe bridge and use iphoto as a way to easily update my website. I did not know if there was a seamless way to properly take all of my photo files from iphoto and put them with adobe bridge.
Sorry if I am not making any sense... I have been trying to set up my new computer right and I am 6 hours into it and my head is spinning lol.

Here are some tips on using Photoshop with iPhoto:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you're editing RAW files from within iPhoto with PS you must save the edited version to the Desktop and import as a new file.

Cannot open CS6 Bridge. Always the same ERROR: Bridge has a problem and cannot read the cache

Cannot open CS6 Bridge. Always the same ERROR: Bridge has a problem and cannot read the cache

Try this. This is for CS6 but substitue CC and Bridge 6.
~library/caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6 and inhere should be 2 files:
Adobe Bridge Plug-in Cache
and the folder called Cache. Inhere should be 4 folders called '254', '1024', 'data' and 'full'
All those folders carry the content of the respective quality of the thumbs and preview as well as 100 % cache and Bridge database.
Any way, Since you have not used Bridge you have no relevant amount of cache and I would suggest you quit both PS and Bridge and manual delete both the items (plug in and folder called cache at the end of the Bridge CS6 path mentioned above.
(both files will refresh itself after a restart of Bridge).
To be on the save side also visit in same user library the folder Preferences and look for the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist" (yes it is Bridge 5 that comes with CS6, all Adobe apps have their own version number and they are presented in the same Suite version. CS6 has PS version 13 and Bridge version 5 )
also drag this file to the trash.
Then hold down option key (alt) while starting Bridge and this should give you the option to reset the preferences as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Choose reset prefs and try again.

In adobe bridge in Tools menu below the cache submenu it only says "process collections in Photoshop". It does not give me the option to "load images in layers is Photoshop"

No tengo la opción de cargar imagenes en capas en photoshop desde adobe bridge en el menu herramientas

If all the items do not appear, consider resetting Bridge Preferences.
Close Bridge, hold down Command-Option-Shift (PC: Control-Alt-Shift) and then launch Bridge again. A dialog will appear asking what you want to do. Turn on the Reset Preferences checkbox and click OK. Now when Bridge appears, the preferences are factory-fresh.
