Adobe Bridge/Mini Bridge
Hello. Does anyone know the printing limitations between Adobe Bridge and Mini Bridge? I am trying to see the difference but I cannot seem to find any options on either side. Thanks!
You can't print via Bridge, including MiniBridge. You can create a PDF but you need Acrobat or system to print this.

I am running Windows 7 home premium and I noticed when I launch Bridge from the file menu and then close out of Bridge it knocks Mini Bridge off line and it needs to reconnect. This happens if I click the "X" or if I go through the file menu to exit Bridge. What is up with that? Currently I have Mini Bridge launching from its last folder location with the start up of CS6. Why should Mini Bridge close and need reconnecting if i am closing Bridge?
So we the users are going to play the reconnection game. I have mini bridge open to my working folder when I close CS6. When I relaunch CS6 it automatically opens mini bridge and loads its last folder location, which would be my working folder. That is great because it saves me time to have it automatically open this location for me. Because it automatically launches mini bridge "bridge" is launched and the "BR" icon shows up in my task bar area. So far so good. Now I need to find a new image to work on. Mini bridge is not the ideal way to search, so I open "Big Bridge" and with its much improved speed I happily find my next project. I load it to CS6 and begin work with the intention of saving this to my working file that is displayed in mini bridge. I'm now done with "Big Bridge", so I close it and now I have to "reconnect" mini bridge. Not a big deal I just hit the button right? I get to hit the reconnect button every single time I close "Big Bridge" because it affects both. So, what is the point of having the ability to view two different file locations if I truly can not use them independently of each other, because if I close "Big Bridge" I have to go back and reconnect mini bridge every time. That would be kind of like having an Ipod that I'm playing music on and I leave the music area to use my kindle app but the music stops playing because I left that area to go read. Am I the only only who opens multiple folders when searching or working with images? Even though much faster could bridge once again be the ho hum feature of CS6 because it is not user friendly?

Error: Waiting for Bridge | Mini Bridge panel
Gene -
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. -
Was Mini-Bridge discontinued in Photoshop CC2014? It is not under the file or Window menus. I cannot find it under add-ons on line. I have a Mac, is that why I'm not seeing it? Any help would be very useful.

Yes.
See Photoshop: Spring Cleaning | PHOTOSHOP.COM BLOG
"Mini Bridge
Mini-Bridge is an Extension Panel using Flash and therefore must be removed now that Flash is no longer supported in Photoshop. Bridge CC remains available as a stand-alone file browser application for designers and photographers needing to browse non-photographic file formats.
Lightroom, which is available with Creative Cloud and the Photoshop Photography Program, is an alternative for photographers as a way to work with multiple photos and hand them off to Photoshop for additional processing." -

Why are no Adobe Drive Volumes available in Mini Bridge?
Mini Bridge is avoiding Adobe Drive Volumes. Why is it like this? It looks like it pro-actively tries to hide them.
One of the few exceptions is in InDesign, when you try to show a linked resource in Mini Bridge. Then it will show the actual folder, but when navigating some folders up, the process associated to Mini Bridge will crash.
Is it possible to activate Adobe Drive Volumes in Mini Bridge? Or will it be possible in a future version?Mini Bridge is avoiding Adobe Drive Volumes. Why is it like this? It looks like it pro-actively tries to hide them.

Why isn't adobe mini bridge showing up in photoshop?
I can't find mini bridge in the file drop down menu. Anyone know why?
If it's Photoshop CC 2014, it has been removed. You'll need Photoshop CC if you still want it.
Here's why:

Photoshop CS6: Mini Bridge's Reveal in Bridge clears Bridge Filter list
I have Bridge CS6's Filter List set to reveal jpegs,PSDs,PNGs,and Tiff files,because those are the common file types I open in Photoshop. I even turn on "Keep Filter when browsing",so I do not have to repeat in each folder.
Then later I will be in Photoshop using the handy mini-bridge. I move to a folder and decide to use the Reveal in Bridge button for a certain image. Clicking on that image does indeed reveal it in Bridge,but it also turns off all my filter selections and I have to set them again.
Any fix for this?Adobe needs to realize that if "as designed" results in users thinking it's a bug or otherwise not useful — then it's a bad design choice and should be revised. They need to leave options in place for people that don't agree with some of their "new" aka bad ideas.
Assuming users don't want to use Mini Bridge vertically is just ridiculous — especially since you can't dock it to the bottom in InDesign like you can in Photoshop.
And not showing folders in the thumbnail view is most unintuative thing to do here. If it's a Mini Bridge, why doesn't it behave like bridge and at least have a check box for filtering out folders or something.
Mini Bridge is kind of useless now.

Unable to load Mini Bridge or other extensions (PS CC 14.2 x64)
Hello, a few weeks ago I ran into update problems with an update to Adobe CSXS Infrastructure 4, and subsequent updates to Creative Cloud app, Photoshop and Illustrator. The updates would not complete and I could not finish the update to Creative Cloud app to sign in. With help from Adobe online tech, the Creative Cloud app was removed, the Adobe Cleaner run, and CC app reinstalled. Once signed in, I uninstalled Illustrator, downloaded and reinstalled it. After that I was able to finish with the Photoshop CC update.
I've used PS CC quite a bit since then and all seems well, except that I am not able to load Mini Bridge or another 3rd party add in product. The messages I receive are:
Mini Bridge could not be launched because the Mini Bridge extension is not installed
3rd party product - onOne - Cannot complete command because the extension could not be loaded
Today (1/17) I applied the 14.2 x64 update hoping it would correct the problem with extensions but it did not. PS CC 14.2 seems to work fine otherwise.
Any help appreciated.
TinaI had the same Problem Adobe had me install three new CEPServiceManager4 folder the third try worked. Here is what I wrote back to them
When I ran Help>Updates there were two updates the CSXS update and and Photoshop CC 14.2. Both update installed however Photoshop extension Mini Bridge was missing.
I was able to copy the folder "Adobe Mini Bridge 3" from the my rename "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEPServiceManager4 old\extensions" to the new "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEPServiceManager4\extensions" folder to recover the Mini Bridge extension. -
I need some help! I just upgraded from PS CS2 to CC photoshop, bridge and lightroom CS6 CC. It is very different. I have 2 initial problems. 1) I do not have an option for mini bridge. It isn't in my PS dropdown menu nor an icon at the bottom of the PS work space. Why don't I have a minibridge? 2) In CS2, I could doubleclick on an image in Bridge and it would automatically open it in PS. That doesn't work with CS6 (creative cloud). Should it? Its like the two products are not interacting as they should. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Jenwebber,
Mini Bridge is not available in Photoshop CC 2014. Please refer to below link.

Also as JJMack stated, make sure you have all the applications up to date.

Mini Bridge PS CS6 "Waiting for Bridge"? mac os x 10.8.3
Mini bridge says "waiting for Bridge" II removed /library/application Support/Adobe/Switchborard folder and alo the switch board preference file in home directory, restarted computer, etc and message changed from "no items found" to "Waiting for Bridge"
Hi Curt Y, Thanks for replaying, it actually "Quits unexpectedly", which one is the option botton?, I tried, cmd + shift, and cmd, shift + ctrl, didn't work.
I'm working on a project in which I have to name several pictures, and I just drag them into a template in PSD and change the name, could the amount of images I'm working have something to the with the quitting?
Thanks again! -
Cannot view folders in mini bridge
Hello,
when trying to use mini bridge in ID CS6, I cannot view folders. I can look at drives, and places such as desk top, but it will only find individual image files, and cannot find any folders. As most of my assest are in folders, this is exceedingly frustrating. I remember CS5 not having this issue. Is there a preference or setting I am missing, or is this how Adobe always "improves" their products when they update.
Any help is appreciated.
ThanksI have done that, but it still does not find folders. Specifically, let's say folders within folders. I mentioned that I can find places, such as desktop, but it won't find 'folders' on my desktop. Just indivdual files. Here is a screen shot of what I mean. On my desk top, I happen to have a folder of assets, but it is not finding it when I have 'desk top' highlighted in the navigation. This is a problem that there seems to be now answer for.

Mini Bridge "Waiting for Bridge" error Macintosh
We'd been having this error on a couple of our computers and none of the steps in the KB article http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-waiting-for-bridge-cs5.html are working.
We initally set up one computer to be used as our master image. Once we had things working the way we wanted on this computer we cloned the drive using Carbon Copy Cloner and distributed the master image to 3 other computers for testing. Mini Bridge was working fine on the master image. Once we cloned the master we changed the name of the default user account to our intended user's name following Apple's directions for changing user account names. Mini Bridge did not work on any of the user accounts on the cloned computers even those accounts whose names did not change. I even tried creating a new test account and it still does not work.
I've been doing some experimenting removing various Adobe related files and then trying to use the Mini Bridge until I figured out what worked. What I found was I could go to Library/Application Support/Adobe, and using Get Info, make the default user the owner of the Adobe folder. (They already had read/write permissions.) After that they are able to use the Mini Bridge. However, none of my other user accounts can work with the Mini Bridge since they are not owners of the Adobe folder. It seems that Mini Bridge is only able to function if the current user is also the owner of the Adobe folder?
I looked at the permissions on the master for the Adobe folder and it said it was owned by root and belonged to the admin group. On the cloned images it states that it is owned by the default user and belongs to the staff group. I tried using Terminal and changed the owner and group to root and admin as it was on the master, but that didn't make any difference. It will still only work if the default user is actually made the owner of the folder.
We will be cloning several more computers this way and I'd like to figure out why this is not working and see if there is a way to make it work for all users of the computer. I am sure something is happening with permissions on the Adobe folder when the user account is renamed on the clone, however I also did a group of 4 laptops this same way and those cloned computers all work fine under all user accounts.Omke,
Thanks for the suggestions. I finally got it working today.
We've been using Bridge for quite a while but the Mini Bridge is new to us as we are just now updating to CS5. I did notice a bit of lag time with Mini Bridge and sometimes it didn't want to display the items on networked drives, but if I hit the backward and forward arrows it would work, so maybe just a screen redraw issue or something there, but other than that it seems to be working ok over our network for now.
Your tip about having only one copy of Bridge open at a time was the key. We have been able to open the same program on multiple user accounts simultaneously before, but I can't say that we have with Bridge. I didn't notice it at first but when you choose Mini Bridge in InDesign it is actually opening the full Bridge in the background though it doesn't open the Bridge window, but looking at my Dock I see where it has been launched. When I would switch to another user account to test the Mini Bridge I wasn't closing out of Bridge in the first account, since I didn't realize it was open, so I'm assuming since it was still open there it could not launch it under the second user. Once I closed out of Bridge on the first account it worked fine on the second.
So think we have it resolved now.
Thanks so much for the tip! This has been driving me crazy for a day and a half. Now I can get on with my other computer set-ups.
By the way, we are ok on the number of CS copies floating around, we have a volume license. :-)
