Auto Scaling thumbs in Mini Bridge really necessary?

I would expect that opening up Mini Bridge would simply show more thumbs rather than automatically scaling 1 or 2 as big as possible.
How is this useful? And how is it not annoying?
I wish Mini bridge had a Scale Slider like its big brother has.
Don't think I'm gonna have this panel open at all when I get CS6.

This was the discussion where it was stated as design rather than bug:
Mini-bridge CS6 : impossible to show thumbnails

  • Mini Bridge thumb nail size error

    I keep the scroll bar on the bottom of the mini bridge all the way to the left. This should show the smallest thunbnails. However when I first start the mini bridge the thumb nail size is medium sized. If I move the scroll bar toward the center, the thumbs get smaller (instead of the expected larger) until the scroll bar reachs the center. Then they start getting larger as expected.  It seems the the mini briger starts with the thumbs as mediun by default no matter where the scroll bar is at. As you move the scroll bar to the right, the thumbs get smaller until they reach the size they should be at as indicted by the position of the scroll bar. Then the scroll bar operates normal. If I leave it all the way to the left and restart the computer the error is back.

  • Mini Bridge Missing from InDesign CS6 after Upgrade to InDesign Version 8.1

    I discussed this same problem https://forums.adobe.com/message/5833991 after upgrading to the prior version 8.0.2 of InDesign.
    After upgrading to InDesign Version 8.1, Mini Bridge no longer works.  Mini Bridge does not show under the Window menu and shift-clicking the Bridge icon opens the full Bridge, not Mini Bridge.
    With the prior version 8.0.2 problem, I was able to recover Mini Bridge by doing a re-install of InDesign under Window's Safe Mode.  Microsoft has somehow changed Safe Mode and I can no longer do the reinstall using Safe Mode.  I have tried several different ways of reinstalling version 8.1, but none of them correct this problem.  Still no Mini Bridge.
    Mini Bridge does work in Photoshop CS6 with no problem.
    I have read through all of the messages that seem to relate to this problem in this forum, but none of the suggested solutions work for me.
    Can anyone provide me with an answer?  If not, how do I get help from Adobe?  I am willing to pay for support, if necessary.

    RESOLVED - I can't believe it, but I have actually figured this out.
    Getting frustrated with going in circles, I decided to dig into security options.  First off, I opened Windows' Properties for the start-up icon for InDesign.  Right off, I noticed under the Compatibility tab that InDesign was set to run in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3).  This did not seem right, so I turned off the option to run in Compatibility Mode and re-started up InDesign.  Low and behold, the option Window | Mini Bridge was now displayed!  And it worked!
    Sorry to have bothered you gentlemen with this problem.  I really appreciate your assistance!

  • Folders browsing in Mini Bridge. Best practice

    Good morning,
    I use Bridge since we have no possibilitiy to see PSD files preview in Photoshop open dialog anymore and pretty satisfied with Bridge functionality.
    But Mimi Bridge is different story. For example, I have some dosens of subfolders within main 'Work' folder and usually jump to the right folder simply typing first letters (client name). This works in Bridge but not in Mini Bridge, making the addon useless for me (scrolling is too time consuming for my business).
    What is your personal best practice for file browsing in Mini Bridge? Can I switch-on 'browsing through typing' somehow?

    What is your personal best practice for file browsing in Mini Bridge? Can I switch-on 'browsing through typing' somehow?
    After the first appearance in CS4 (I believe?) it was a promising panel with great possibilities to come. Sadly enough they screwed the next version in a very bad way and never made an effort to repair or develop it further for production user needs and requests (which nowadays seems common practice with Adobe to be frankly).
    Your best shot is preparing a collection or a smart collection (with your clients name as search for a complete result) in Bridge itself and navigate to the collection in the folder panel of MB. This avoids to have long waits for cache to build for each new selected folder and multi clicking to find the wanted folder. But as said, that is not the solution you really wanted to hear.
    For me first preparing a collection in Bridge with the files I think I need for a project (mostly for a photo album) and then chose this in MB is the only way to make MB working in some way. Combined with creating a new workspace in PS with a floating MB panel (otherwise you can't have multiple rows of thumbs). This is still better then switching between applications but knowing that it could have been so much easier often makes me angry...

  • Mini Bridge Layout Changes from CS5.5 to CS6

    I recently upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6 on my work PC and I noticed a real annoying change with the layout of the Mini Bridge, specifically in InDesign. I was really hoping (and praying) that there would be a way to get the layout back to the way it was in CS5.5. 
    When the Mini Bridge is open the way it used to be was split at the top with the left side with favorites and the right side with a file navigator. The favorites portion was always there and did not disappear when you clicked on a folder, rather it just loaded the file list up in the bottom portion of the window. I REALLY miss that. Now in CS6 there is a drop down bar that is a pain to use and navigate through and when you click on the favorites (or any other option) it loads into the only navigation bar when you click on a folder it does not display the folders inside of it, instead just files in the folder.
    Is there any way to get the Mini Bridge back to the original way? Is there an option I can click to get it to display the favorites list at all times and go back to the way it worked in CS 5.5?

    Please Help!

    I've found mini bridge is unusable when it is docked. If you float it then favorites is on the left.
    Sounds like you are describing the docked version:

  • Mini Bridge does not open in InDesign after installing 8.0.2 upgrade

    This question was previously posted in the InDesign forum (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5833991#5833991), but it was suggested that I should cross post it here.
    I installed InDesign CS6 upgrade 8.0.2.  Now I cannot open Mini Bridge.
    If Bridge is not already open,
         - selecting File | Browse in Bridge...  or clicking on the Bridge button: Bridge opens - good!
         - control-click on the Bridge button: I get a Reset Settings error dialog - NOT good!  I cancelled this and Bridge opened fullscreen okay.
         - alt-click on the Bridge button: Two Bridge applications opened fullscreen! - NOT good!
         - shift-click on the Bridge button: Bridge opens, but Mini Bridge does not! - NOT good!
    If Bridge is already open,
         - selecting File | Browse in Bridge... or clicking on the Bridge button: the ruler bars dim and nothing else happens! - NOT good!
         - control-click on the Bridge button: Bridge opens maximized! - good!
         - alt-click on the Bridge button: the already opened Bridge, plus a new Bridge, both open! - is this normal?
         - shift-click on the Bridge button: the ruler bars dim and Mini Bridge does not open! - NOT good!
    I have tried resetting the preferences in Bridge and rebooted after doing so.
    My main concern is that I cannot get Mini Bridge to open at all.  I can ignore the other problems mentioned above, if I can just get Mini Bridge to open.
    This problem does not exist in Photoshop CS6.
    I have restored my C: drive from backup twice and tried the upgrade a total of three times.  The results are the same each time.
    Does anyone have any idea what is causing my problem and how I might correct it?  I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1, 3.40 GHz Intel Core i7-3770 CPU, 32.0 GB installed memory.

    Sorry to hear that, forgot to mention the resetting of preferences in InDesign.
    Have you also tried that (ctrlAltShift while starting ID)?
    I'm afraid I have not really more ideas and I am a Mac user and don't know anything relevant about Windows.
    And ultimate you have of course the option to reinstall CS6 after an official uninstall in combination with the Adobe Clean Tool. But before doing so read all instructions and have a proper back up of all relevant customized settings, workspaces etc.

  • Bridge cashe fail while in mini bridge mode.

    bridge cashe fails when opeing and I purge it but the message returns each time  while in mini bridge mode.Also it has stopped displaying thumbnails it mini bridge. Any ideas?? The full message is 'Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cashe. Please try purging the central cashe in cashe preferences th correct the situation." This doesnot correct the situation. I recently uninstalled my CS5.1. Might that be an issue. I reinstalled it to no avail. thanks, Uhane
    More info
    Bridge CS6 no longer can find the cashe to update at all and will not quit on it's own I have to force quit the app.. Nor does it update changes in mini bridge. It is static. It does not show any new changes to files since this AM. It seems to not be able to find the cashe to update.. I have purged the cashe many times since and the more I do it the worse it becomes and the more I get the message that I have to do so. I really don't want to have to reinstall yet again. Is there a corrupt file path somewhere? Or can it not get to an open port for some reason. This problem is a rather sudden one. thanks, Uhane.
    Thhis is the message I receive when I open bridge siince this AM.
    Message was edited by: uhanepono

    To summarize so there are not a lot of repeating motifs.
    ••I ran CS5 and had CS6 on my system and had no problem.
    ••I unistalled CS5 using the adobe unistaller.
    ••Bridge began to not be able to find the user cashe after that and crashed upon loading the folders lib.
    ••CS6 worked fine but I could not use the mini bridge nor the bridge proper.
    ••I unistalled CS6 and reinstalled it. Still had the same problem.
    ••Used the script cleaner mentioned earlier in thsi thread on CS6, there being no CS5 listed.
    ••And then, of course, reinstalled CS6 AGAin.
    ••Still the problem persisted.
    ••I went into the user lib and hand deleted everything I could find for CS5. and then I reistalled for the 4 th time CS6, using the adobe unistaller. And still the problem persists.
    ••went the adobe script cleaner log report console to see there were no errors nor fails and there were none reported and showed a clean unistall.
    So that is the history so far.
    and here again is the screen shot of the message In receive upon opening bridge CS6.
    well .... the uploader is not greyed out at the moment.. see the screen shot in entry 6 of this thread, thanks
    THanks to everyone for your help, the opt/launch/reset. trick worked with me only having to detete the specified cashe. thanks again, Aloha, Uhane

  • If I don't know how to use mini bridge in Photoshop and InDesign.

    I tried to use mini bridge from photoshop and inDesign both but unsuccessfully. Displays message "Waiting for Bridge CS5..." and it seems for hours and hours but not working... .
    But Adobe Bridge is working perfectly. Does anyone has the same problem?

    So, I have the same problem with the mini bridge not loading. I noticed it also wouldn't load at my school on their Mac computers, too. I wondered if it had anything to do with me only having the free trial but the school's computer isn't free trial. I looked at the two solutions you've provided.
    1. When I went to the following...
    Win 64 bit machines: \Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SwitchBoard\SwitchBoard.exe
    There was no SwitchBoard folder, or SwitchBoard.exe on my computer anywhere... (Windows 8 64 bit)
    2. I then tried to see about your second solution and followed the link... it doesn't support my computer version ><
    So I'm not really sure what to do since I need to get this working in order to complete my class assignment.... I am using the free trial at the moment but plan to buy the monthly plan through Adobe Creative Cloud for Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator.

  • Photoshop CS5 Issues & Mini Bridge Not Working In CS5

    I have Photoshop Issues:
    Mainly with copy & paste tools after a short period of time, tools start to function incorrectly for example.. Copy & Paste when working with identical images & wishing to select a part of the image to paste directly on top off the identical image they do not align up pixel by pixel I zoom a 100% in to see and ifs off shifted by 1 pixel out If I move it into place it jumps 2 pixels to the left and if I move to the right again 2pixels. I can't get it in the precise place
    it normaly happens after Ive made a couple of pastes.. till I end up having to close & restart photoshop to get it functioning correctly. Is this a bug or am I using it indifferent.
    Also the Clone stamp tool stops functioning after using the copy and paste tool after short periods. Example I copy then paste a selected part of the image back into the image then wish to the clone stamp tool to get the correct texture right.
    And last issue is.. Mini bridge does not load I click browse images & it states "Waiting for bridge CS5.." ? Nothing happens
    Windows Xp Media Centre Edition: (Service Pack 3)

    It's worth checking to see if the "jumping" problem you have is because Snap is enabled.  Snap causes Photoshop to try to auto-align things for you, and can look much as you've described.  Check the View menu to see if Snap is checked.  If so, either uncheck it, or hold the Control key down when you are moving things that you wish to align without snap.
    Also, keep in mind that with the Move tool selected, you can "Nudge" a layer by one pixel at the current zoom level by using the arrow keys on the keyboard.
    Can you list specific steps to reproduce the Clone tool failure?  It might also be helpful for you to capture your screen showing the current state of the image, layers, and settings at the time you're seeing the Clone tool fail to work as you expect.  You may have a setting wrong that someone will be able to see.

  • How do I enable mini bridge in InDesign CC

    Mini Bridge seems to be missing from my Creative Cloud versions of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.
    How do I enable Mini Bridge?
    I am up to date on all versions of the apps and I am running on a Mac.
    I am able to use the full version of Bridge for browsing.

    Unlike Peter Spier, I have installed Bridge CC and it is operational. I followed the instructions in the link to "trash" preferences. (Really, he should have given the backup advice BEFORE telling you the steps to delete... for those who followed our cake recipe given last week, here is the antidote...)
    Alas, deleting preferences didn't seem to help. I've deleted preferences for both Bridge and ID. Mini-bridge does not appear in the Window menu nor does it display when I shift-click the Br button on the menu. Bridge itself works fine -- so things are not at a standstill -- but this is annoying. Somewhere in my switch from CS6 to CC mini-bridge went away.
    Anyone else with an idea what I should try?

  • PlotXY manual X Axis Scaling doesn't rescale Y-Axis auto-scaling

    I'm using PlotXY(..) to display data on a graph.
    I use SetAxisScalingMode(...) to set set VAL_LEFT_YAXIS to VAL_AUTOSCALE.  
    I use SetAxisScalingMode(...) to set set VAL_TOP_XAXIS scaling to VAL_MANUAL.
    I make various calls to SetAxisScalingMode(...) which change the min & max values for the X-Axis.
    Everything thing seems to display correctly except that changing min & max values using manual scaling on the x-axis does not seem to change the range of data used to auto-scale the y-axis.
    For example say you have a peak in your data that you want to exclude so the auto-scaling on the y-axis will zoom in.
    So you change the max, min manual x-axis scaling to leave out the peak but scaling but the y-axis scaling doesn't change.
    Is this the way it should work?
    Ideas for a work around?
    Thanks,
    Kirk

    Hi Kirk,
    As you've noticed, the autoscaling of an axis in the graph is based on the entire data of each plot, not just on the portion of the plot that is within the range of the other axis.
    If you use only integer limits for the min and max of the x axis, if you plot only 1D arrays, and if you don't mind re-plotting every time that you want to manually change the x-axis, there's a possible workaround, consisting of replacing PlotY with PlotWaveform, so that you can offset the data to plot.
    I've adapted the code that you attached earlier to illustrate this:
    int xmin = 40;
    int xmax = 90;
    SetAxisScalingMode(handle, PANEL_GRAPH, VAL_BOTTOM_XAXIS, VAL_MANUAL, (double)xmin, (double)xmax);
    PlotWaveform (handle, PANEL_GRAPH, datapoints + xmin, xmax - xmin, VAL_DOUBLE, 1.0, 0.0, xmin, 1.0,
                  style, VAL_EMPTY_SQUARE, VAL_SOLID, 1, color);

  • Mini-bridge CS6 : impossible to show thumbnails

    Impossible to show thumbnails in mini-bridge.
    This bar which was in CS5 is missing in CS6
    Therefore you cannot neither show nor change dimensions of the thumbnails.
    Reynold Jaquet

    But they do auto-resize as you change the height of mini-bridge, so on my PC I can see sixteen thumbnails when mini-bridge is at its smallest:
    Large:
    Small:

  • Why No Mini Bridge in AI CS6?

    Am I the only one that thinks this feature would be really a time saver in AI.
    I mean since you can drag and drop from the finder images and files into AI and the mini bridge brings the finder to your work space I think it would be helpful to not have to refocus to the finder or us explorer on windows to locate your assets.
    I am wondering why I never hear about the lack of this feature when it is popular in Photoshop and Premiere and other Adobe applications.
    Just wondering, also wondering why Adobe just doesn't do this for all the apps?

    I am not certain you understand what I see as a time saving feature this is not about information as such but about access to files the information is fine but asset management is a more important issue and first things first as far as making the feature request both the Bridge and the Mini Bridge are feature requests I made long before there was such features.
    I was curious about why it was not implimented in all the programs as it shouldd have been done by now?
    Phtoshop has it, InDesign has the Mini Bridge and Premiere Pro and Audition have media browsers so I don't really see the reason not to include such a feature.
    As far as more information that might be a good feature request.
    I just need access to files right now.

  • Mini bridge in cs4 &win7

    we have cs4 which displayed minibridge
    whilst we were using xp at the same time a seperate storeage device could be down loaded a file at a time these files were in nef format. the files came up as thumdnails
    then i changed to windows 7 .64bit, i have now lost minibridge and allso the ability to down  load from the external drive to a thumb nail formatt.what is even more confusing is if i put the card from the camera directly into the computer the thumd nail works but minibridge still does not show

    Do you mean CS5?  Beleive mini bridge was not in CS4.
    There are a number of posts in the Photoshop forum on mini bridge.  Might do a quick search and see it you can answer some of your question and the refine your question.
    If you changed OS you may have to purge cache and let it rebuild.

  • How do you delete folders within collections in mini bridge?

    How do you delete folders within collections in mini bridge?

    his chapter on Mini Bridge where he talks about organizing your photos getting rid of some and making a folder or file sorry not certain of the terminology under Collections in mini bridge to acess your "keepers" perse.
    Not familiar with this book but if Scott is talking about using mini bridge for sorting images he is way out of line. Mini Bridge (to my opinion next to useless since they screwed it up for CS6 but that is another discussion) should be seen as a shortcut to Bridge itself when working in Photoshop on complex tasks of image or album compilation and prevent you from switching back and forward between the two applications while working on a project.
    Unfortunately some people thought that it might be useful to add more functions to it and now users start believing they don't need bridge itself for this.
    Please use Bridge itself for sorting etc and also try to get hold of a copy of 'Real World Camera Raw' written by Bruce Fraser and Jeff Schewe. They have an edition for about all CS versions and this book will let you know how to really use the power of Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw
