Adobe Bridge overrides Windows Explorer functions?

Since installing Adobe Bridge CS3, I am unable to rename/copy/move folders within Windows explorer...If I want to do it, I have to use Bridge.
This is particularly annoying when new folders have to be renamed/copied/moved within OTHER programs. Example: I am processing a photo or piece of video in Nero or Quicktime and create a new folder to place the processed images/videos. I can not name that folder while within Nero or Quicktime nor can I rename it if I exit the program and use Windows Explorer. I HAVE to open BRIDGE and do it there....
Help?

Perhaps it is something with NEro or Quicktime. Make sure they are both the latest version. There has been some conflicts with Quicktime and Bridge in previous QT updates.
I have Vista and have no problems with have not experienced any problems like you describe with Windows Explorer. I usually use WS rather than Bridge for deleting, copying, moving. I have experienced some problems with external drives and permissioning problems when using Bridge, but starting Bridge in administrative mode solved that. Right click on Bridge icon and choose "Run as Administrator".

Can't open INDD files from Bridge or Windows Explorer

I upgraded from CS2 to CS4 in Jan 2009, but didn't uninstall CS2 until yesterday because the program file sizes seemed weird: CS4 was listed as less than 6Mb in the Add/Remove Programs list, while CS2 was shown to be many times that size (gigabytes?). I called support within the first month and was told it would be okay to uninstall CS2, but the tech could not explain the difference in program sizes, so I left it in place until yesterday. Now, neither Bridge nor Windows Explorer recognizes InDesign files. I can still launch the program from the Start menu and Desktop shortcut, and I can open files from within the program. But Bridge says the default for opening an INDD file is Acrobat...or Photoshop, Firefox or IE. Windows says the same. The INDD icon is no longer displayed in Windows Explorer either. It seems to have vanished from my system. I have tried to re-associate InDesign files with the program through Windows Explorer numerous times to no avail. Operating System: Windows XP Professional on a Dell GX270.
Is the only solution here to uninstall & reinstall InDesign? Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem, with two exceptions:
1. A previous version of InDesign has never been installed on this PC before we got CS4.
2. It tries to open the files in Acrobat (7.0), and then this message pops up:
Acrobat could not open "....INDD" because it is either not a supported file type or because it has been damaged... To create a PDF document go to the ...
This is incredibly frustrating. The only way I can open files is to go through the InDesign "open file" command inside the program. I cannot open any Bridge files at all (same problem, opens in Acrobat).
I cannot chose the file type from the file association list as it does not show up on the list no matter how many times I search and choose it from my drive to associate.
... Is this a registry problem, maybe?

No messageto see, but you can check your Startup Scripts in Bridge preferences. Mine are like this:

Download adobe document under windows explorer

could not download file under windows explorer but did download under google chrome. have shutdown machine and restarted but no difference

i meant internet explorer of course. the screen just came back with a mesaage saying it could not download the file. using the same action under google chrome instead of IE the file downloaded immediately. there seems to be a problem with IE reading this adobe file.

It seems someone has found that creating a new user profile fixes the problem.

Adobe Bridge CS4 window will not open MAC

I was using Bridge CS4 on a MAC OSX 10.6.8 yesterday and all was fine. Today when I went to use Bridge, there was no window open. Bridge started up and appeared normal. However, there is no window. When I select "new Window" nothing happens. I uninstalled manually and reinstalled all Photoshop software from the start. I went to open Bridge and the same thing occured. How do I get a new window in Bridge to operate?

Yes!! Success at last. Thank you Omke. Holding down the Option key while starting fixed it. That's an answer that nobody at Adobe could provide me with in 9 hours. Regards.

Finder and Windows Explorer Functionality to be 'Merged'

Right, before I start what I expect will be an epic battle, this is not what I intend this thread to entail...
I have recently moved from being a purely windows user (Software Developer), to using OS X as well. My girlfriends study dictated that I recommended her buying a Mac. Consequently, her inexperience dictated that I should learn OS X in order to be her technical support. Everything until earlier this week was great, but I'm still a lover of the OS.
The aforementioned 'until earlier this week' has caused one major usability gripe with which I have now read up on exstensively; the way that finder handles copying folders.
Now to a certain extent I see why it was slightly naieve of me to think that copying a folder should ONLY replace the files within and not the whole folder, but thats because I have grown up basically Windows only.
So I copied the folder structure (containing organised subfolders) of ALL of my girlfriends university work to date across to the Mac and misinterpreted what the copy would do, it turns out that this replaces the whole folder, and does not move the original folder to trash.
AND NOW TO THE POINT OF THIS THREAD...
As I began, I do not intend this thread to be a Windows vs Mac rantfest. I would merely like to rally up who can see the benefits of merging the way that OS X replaces the whole folder with the Windows options to only replace files within (merge).
This would then allow the possibility of easily copying folders with nested sub-folders (a la windows), but also allow the original method of replacing the destined folder (keeping with the mac tradition).
I don't want to go down the route of 'but every other OS merges folders' because this isn't every other OS, its OS X, and it seems that everything else that they have done, they've done well!
If the proposed could be implemented, not only would it allow more options for existing Mac users, but also allow a smoother crossover for users from other OS's
Perhaps something like below could work.
'The folder <folder name> already exists, do you wish to replace this folder, or merge its contents with the current folder?'
|| Replace || || Merge || || Cancel ||
As I am no expert of usability, the wording above should probably be changed.
Given enough interest (and perhaps a little understanding from long term mac users ;o) ) I wish to inform Apple of this thread so we will all get the best of both worlds (and I won't have a nagging girlfriend with much lost work).
I look forward to your interest/comments (but please keep it nice).

A slightly different angle of approach here can be viewed by how I think Superduper operates. Superduper has a really smart update function in its cloning. It will when updating the clone look for files on a bit by bit basis and see if there are changes to any specific file. If it sees changes, it will ensure that the files that are changed on the original get updated on the clone. It will ensure the files that are deleted on the original get deleted on the clone, and it will ensure that the files that are added on the original get added to the clone when the update is performed.
Now here in is the problem. Some users actually want OLDER versions to be preserved on their backup but not the original when they copy to the archived backup. We've seen here people are complaining that their archived backup is not preserved by Time Machine:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6107525#6107525
So the problem we are faced with here, is there are different needs for different people when copying files. While some are happy just to maintain a current copy of their files, others wish to manage archives when copying files. So a merge function would have to include the caveat of what does not get preserved when the merge happens. In the face of trying to be simple, you can't be all things for all people. As a freelance technician not working for Apple, I can just say, it probably is best for the user to see how an effort has been made to simplify the process, and work around it if necessary to achieve your needs.
I've used Windows 2000 and XP Pro and know it asks me whether or not to replace each file that is identical each time I copy from one folder to another when the names are the same. This is a laborious process, saying OK, cancel, ok, cancel if it is done indefinitely. I can see the dialog box asking:
"Do you want to replace all older files, some older files, with newer files of the same name, or do you want to replace newer files with some older files of the same name?"
A new computer user would go "Huh???"
Merge is nice for those of us who can keep track of it in real life.
For the rest of us who are organizationally challenged, or time challenged, we just want it done right the first time. Unfortunately neither Apple, nor the computer can read everyone's mind.
I agree a merge function would be nice, but I think it would overly complicate matters.

I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

The top screenshot is the Windows Open dialog box. All File > Open... commands in all Windows programs bring it up. Try File > Open in Notepad for example.
It belongs to Windows not Adobe. You cannot change this because there is no such thing as an Adobe Open dialog box.
The bottom screenshot is Windows Explorer. It is Windows' OS File Browser, not an Open dialog. It is not called up by Photoshop or any Windows program.
You have to click on "My Computer" or a Folder icon to get to it. You can double-click a psd, jpeg or other image file in the Explorer window so that it opens in Photoshop.
There is Adobe Bridge and Minibridge Alt + Ctrl + O or File > Browse in Bridge

Bridge CS4 on Windows Explorer context sub-menu - how ?

G'day all,
Have just moved across to CS4 from CS2, and I'm pretty impressed.
For CS2, there was a user-written script which added a command to the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer that said something like "Open Bridge here". Bridge would launch, already focused on the folder that was open when this command was invoked.
Is there any way to make this happen in CS4?
I like Bridge as it is, with the focus being sticky on wherever it was when Bridge was last closed. But this other facility extends its versatility ... I guess I just want everything !!
Thanks for any suggestions.
Bran

You need to add an entry in the registry. With notepad, create a file named BridgeHere.reg with this content:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\bridge]
@="Bridge Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\bridge\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Bridge CS3\\Bridge.exe\" \"%L\""
Replace CS3 with CS4 if you have CS4.
Then double-click on the file and answer yes. That's it.

Adobe Bridge 5.1 stops working on open in Windows 7. Tried purging, no help.

Tried purging by holding Ctrl and clicking all three options but to no avail.
Any insight?

Ok, in the Event Viewer, I am getting the following in Application Error
"Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program Adobe Bridge CS5.1 because of this error.
Program: Adobe Bridge CS5.1
File:
The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
User Action
1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
- It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be contacted.
- It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or computer hardware vendor for further assistance."
Right BELOW that, it is saying there is a problem with Bridge because of Quicktime:
"Faulting application name: Bridge.exe, version: 4.1.0.54, time stamp: 0x4d6f26b3
Faulting module name: QuickTimeAuthoring.qtx, version: 7.72.80.56, time stamp: 0x4f8f8aad

Report Id: 30cc3cd5-9b5b-11e3-9da8-d479b817000b"
What does this mean? I already reloaded Bridge twice but to no avail and the program opens fine when I try to open in my Picturres files , just not when openeing fropm Desktop.
