Bridge CC - metadata pop-up over thumbnails

I am running the latest version of Bridge CC with Photoshop CC.  When browsing thumbnails in Bridge, if you put the curser over a thumbnail the metadata appears over the image in a pop-up window.  I find these really distracting - is there a way to turn off that function?  Thanks.  Mark Weidman

  • Bridge, metadata pop-up over thumbnails

    I am running the latest version of Bridge CC with Photoshop CC, Apple Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite v10.10.3.

    I figured out how to turn off the metadata window - in Preferences, Thumbnails, de-select "Show Tool tips".  Mark Weidman

  • [CS3 JS] How to force XMP metadata update for a thumbnail?

    Hi Folks,
    In a JavaScript in Bridge CS3, I'm updating a value in the XMP metadata for a Thumbnail. Later in the script I want to read the updated XMP metadata information from the Thumbnail, but often Bridge hasn't updated the metadata by the time I read it. In other words, my script reads the value prior to the update. I'm guessing there's a caching issue going on.
    I'm new to Bridge scripting, and I am hoping someone here can offer suggestions on how I can (or, even *if* I can) force Bridge to update the XMP metadata cache for a file so that when I read it later in the script it will reflect the recent changes. I've tried using Thumbnail.refresh(), but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I don't mind a slower script, I just want to be able to read the correct value.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi David,
    I'm running this script on a MacBook Pro, 2.5GHz, 4GB RAM.
    Here is a sample JSX that shows the issue I'm having:
    #target "bridge-2.0"
    main();
    function main() {
        if( xmpLib == undefined ) {
            var pathToLib = Folder.startup.fsName + "/AdobeXMPScript.framework";
            var libfile = new File( pathToLib );
            var xmpLib = new ExternalObject("lib:" + pathToLib );
        var myValue = "Headline Test";
        var myFilePath = "~/Desktop/TestFile.tif";
        var curHeadlineStr = XMPGetHeadline(myFilePath);
        $.writeln("Headline value: \"" +  curHeadlineStr + "\"");
        XMPWriteHeadline(myFilePath, myValue);
        // *** I would like to refresh the cache here ***
        curHeadlineStr = XMPGetHeadline(myFilePath);
        $.writeln("Headline value: \"" +  curHeadlineStr + "\"");
    function XMPGetHeadline(theFilePath) {
        var thumb = new Thumbnail(File (theFilePath) );
        md = thumb.synchronousMetadata;   
        xmp = new XMPMeta(md.serialize());
        var myHeadlineXMPProp = xmp.getProperty
            (XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "Headline", XMPConst.STRING);
        return myHeadlineXMPProp;
    function XMPWriteHeadline(theFilePath, theTextStr){
        var thumb = new Thumbnail(File (theFilePath) );
        md = thumb.synchronousMetadata;   
        xmp = new XMPMeta(md.serialize());
        var myOrigHeadlineXMPProp = xmp.getProperty
            (XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "Headline", XMPConst.STRING);
        xmp.deleteProperty(XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "Headline");
        xmp.setProperty(XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "Headline", theTextStr, 0, XMPConst.STRING);
        var updatedPacket = xmp.serialize
            (XMPConst.SERIALIZE_OMIT_PACKET_WRAPPER | XMPConst.SERIALIZE_USE_COMPACT_FORMAT);
        thumb.metadata = new Metadata(updatedPacket);
    To run this script, in main(), set the myFilePath variable to the path of a file that has an "IPTC Code" "Headline" property.
    This script, when run, sets the "Headline" property value to the value of myValue. After runing the script for the first time, take a look at the console log. You should see that Headline value displayed does not change between the two console entries. My log looks like this after the first run:
      Headline value: "undefined"
      Headline value: "undefined"
    The thing is, the second entry in the console listing, above, was created after the Headline value was set by XMPWriteHeadline(). The two values should be different between the two console entries.
    If you run the script a second time against the same file, you will see that the Headline value does contain the value that was written in the first run of the script--it just took some time to update the cache, I'm guessing. Here's the second run's log:
      Headline value: "Headline Test"
       Headline value: "Headline Test"
    So, what I'm looking for is a way to insert code (where the comment line "//*** I would like to refresh the cache here ***" appears), to force Bridge CS3 to refresh its cache so that when I call XMPGetHeadline() after calling XMPWriteHeadline(), the Headline value will return the value that was just written.
    I hope this is clear enough...
    Thanks!!!!

  • How to disable MetaData Pop-Up in Aperture?

    I'm new to Aperture, liking it but of course despite buying the excellent Aperture 2 guide by Ken McMahon and Nik Rawlinson there's a host of things to understand and get used to.
    My current problem is how to disable the small MetaData pop-up screen that comes up when you've got the cursor over an image in the browser or the viewer. I am finding that quite annoying and hope that there's a way to disable this function.......Any clues anyone?
    Thanks in advance.

    The T key toggles it on and off.

  • Adobe Bridge avchd metadata

    will new update for Adobe Bridge allow metadata?

    No, you can see a video preview but you still have to use Prelude or Premiere Pro to add metadata.

  • My Bridge Is Acting Wierd With Huge Thumbnails

    I just backed up my files on Webroots backup system.  Now, the bridge is acting strange.  The thumbnails are HUGE.  I can use the slider to make them a little smaller but if they get too small they disapear.  I reinstalled the Ps and Br part of the disk, but I have also noticed that when I am in Br and want to go to Edit>Preferrences, I always get a Br problem and it has to close.  Running on Windows XP, and Ps cs3.  Thanks.  Glenn

  • "Sign In To iCloud" keeps popping up over and over again - HELP!

    Hi,
    Recently I have been having trouble trying to fix my issue with my second hand iPhone 5 (32gb). About 5 months ago I had bought this iPhone and everything was fine. Until yesterday a message popped up stating that I need to sign in to iCloud. The apple ID was not mine nor did I know this email so I tried pressing cancel but it kept popping up over and over again. I cannot do anything to my phone right now and had tried searching up for a solution to this extremely annoying problem but found no fix. My phone is connected to Wifi and I've tried rebooting, but haven't restored and reset since I'm scared that it might turn up to be an activation lock. I have tried contacting Apple Support but they've put me to hold for a very long time which I can't do anything about and I'm afraid that I have come to a dead end. Also, I've tried contacting the owner of the iCloud account but they haven't replied yet so I'm anxiously waiting for a solution. Please, PLEASE PLEASE help me since I'm desperate for an answer and will need a phone in the next few days.
    Best regards,
    Andy- iPhone 5, iOS 7.1

    I have the loop issue solved. It seems it was as simple as turning the wifi back on. It got shut off and I was unaware. It was really hard to go through the settings menu with the sign in box continually popping up. Thanks for offering to help.

  • How I make to open html window pop-up over other opened pop-up ??

    Hi
    I need open many html window pop-up OVER other windows html pop-up.
    I made a javascript function, but it only open one window pop up.
    function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll,pos){
         if(pos=="random"){
              LeftPosition=(screen.width)?Math.floor(Math.random()*(screen.width-w)):100;
              TopPosition=(screen.height)?Math.floor(Math.random()*((screen.height-h)-75)):100;
         if(pos=="center"){
              LeftPosition=(screen.width)?(screen.width-w)/2:100;
              TopPosition=(screen.height)?(screen.height-h)/2:100;
         }else if((pos!="center" && pos!="random") || pos==null){
              LeftPosition=0;
              TopPosition=20
         settings='width='+w+',height='+h+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=no';
         window.open(mypage,myname,settings);
    What I have to do..to open one over one ??? And this haven't limits...on cascate.
    Sorry my mistakes, because I'm still learnning english language.

    "I made a javascript function, but it only open one window pop up"
    If you use the same name then the browser will not open a new window but just re-use the previously opened window. You will either have to not use a name or use a different name for each pop up.
    To get the new window to be on top get the handle to the new window and assign it the focus
    var win = window.open(mypage,myname,settings);
    win.focus();

  • Adobe Software License Agreement pops up over and over when I try to use Acrobat. Even after I "Acce

    Adobe Software License Agreement pops up over and over when I try to use Acrobat. Even after I "Accept".

    I have the same problem as Pam101. I am on OS X 10.9 and Safari 7 (actually on 2 iMacs). The one iMac is fine but the other with the same versions and settings Adobe Reader will not work. What happens is the Adobe Reader icon appears on the dock, bounces once and that's it. When trying to open a .pdf file from a website a new tab is opened on Safari, the background is black and there is a pop up message (black test on a white background) that reads: "Adobe PDF Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement." This is all very well but if Adobe Reader will not launch how on earth is it possible to accept the End User License Agreement terms? Very, very annoying, especially since it all works just fine if I launch a .pdf file from a website using Chrome. What is going on here and who do I talk to in order to fix this problem - Apple or Adobe?

  • The iPad mute bell keeps popping up over and over.  It is turning volume down as fast as I turn it up.  I have reset and restored the iPad to the original settings.  Nothing has worked!  Any other ideas?

    The iPad mute button continues to pop up over and over.  If I turn the volume up, I can watch it decrease just as fast.  The icon stays.  I have reset the iPad twice, and have reset it back to manufacturer settings as well.  The problem continues despite my efforts.....any other suggestions?   It is completely upgraded to the newest iOS version. And I was not having trouble before this upgrade.

    If I had it in a case or had my finger on the switch these would solve the issue.  Or, if the mute bell was only coming on when the volume button was pressed, how ever, it is coming on at random times and will go away for a few minutes if I hit the home button, but then reappears.  This seems to be a problem experienced by a lot of iPad users so I have trouble thinking it is a bad switch.

  • Bridge CS3 no longer renders RAW thumbnails

    Running PSE9 on OS 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.  Also running Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9 that I believe came bundled with PSE4 and which I have become fond of using as a tool for importing photos and other steps early in my workflow.  I shoot almost exclusively in RAW and sometimes in RAW/JPEG.  Recently, having made no change that I can remember, Bridge is no longer able to render thumbnails of the RAW files, instead showing just a thumbnail of a white sheet with the corner turned down; JPEG thumbnails render just fine.
    I would be extremely grateful for anyone that can help me get the RAW thumbnails working again.  I suspect some anciliary file outside of the main program package since Adobe is so fond of sprinking useful files all over the place if that rings any bells.
    I have tried to find a standalone Bridge CS3 installer on the web that I might use to re-write whatever is missing but I cannot find it.  It's an unusual request but if anyone would lend theirs to me I would also be grateful.
    Thank you in advance.

    Turns out my sister is more a packrat than me and she still had her original PSE6 disk, which was also bundled with Bridge CS3.  Uninstalled/deleted 9 and Bridge and removed every trace of them and prior versions I could find (e.g Library files) to a flash drive.  Installed 6 along with Bridge and all seems to be back to normal.
    Hopefully everything else still works right and I won't have to try-and-err putting Library files back one-by-one or something.  Once it feels like all is stable I'll be putting in my upgrades to PSE9.
    Thanks for your suggestions.

  • CS4 Bridge Preview/MetaData/Keywords Panels out of window

    More than not, I run the Bridge app maximized to fill my screen (2560x1600).  When I came after a long break, or overnight, the window is no longer maximized. This morning it was resized to 1918x1168.  The bad part about it is the Preview, Metadata, and Keywords panels (normally on right edge of window) were off the right side of the window. They are still have check marks by them in the Window menu.  The Content window extended past the right side of the window (thumbnails were extending past the right side of the window, some thumbnails partially clipped by the window).  I must do a Window->Workspace->Reset Workspace to get them back.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • Bridge CS5 - weird goings on with thumbnails...

    Hi, I'm using Bridge CS5 and raw images from a Minolta Dynax 7D.
    Initially I thought the problem was just that thumbnails weren't being updated after an edit in Camera Raw, but its a bit more complicated than that.
    If I view my thumbnails through folders (explorer type view), CR changes are seen immediately in Bridge (as I would expect!).
    If I view my thumbnails through a saved collection, CR changes are not seen in the thumbnail unless I then make some other change with Bridge - give/change a label or star rating for example - or switch to Folder View - or choose Clear Cache for Selection from the pop-up menu. Not only are the thumbnails not updated, if it was a first time CR edit, the icons above the thumbnail that show a CR change are not displayed either until one of the above is done.
    This is so weird, please don't tell me this is by design!
    I have Camera Raw version 6.3.0.79; thumbnail options are set to Always High Quality.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    To keep you cache in good working order I recommend you compact the cache occasionally to get rid of the junk.
    Thanks for your repsonse Curt Y, sadly it doesn't solve the problem.
    I've played around with various cache settings in CR and BR and although purging it does force the thumbnails to be re-drawn in any view, subsequent changes when viewing through a Collection aren't shown. Compacting the cache appears to do nothing.

  • Importing metadata from Microsoft Excel or Access to Adobe Bridge CC metadata

    I'm trying to figure out how to batch import a substantial amount of metadata in Microsoft Excel or Access to the IPTC core fields in Adobe Bridge CC. I've seen the issue discussed, but many of the posts about it are six or seven years old. So here are the simplest statement of the questions:
    1. Is it possible to export data from Excel or Access to XMP and then batch-import it in Adobe Bridge CC?
    2. If it requires templates, are there commercial, shareware, or freeware templates that will achieve this?
    3. If so, what are the links to those repositories?
    4. Is there a set of step-by-step instructions to achieve this on PC and/or Mac?
    5. What are the links to those instructions?
    Thanks in advance for your help. I've used Bridge from CS1... but I've never used it for batch-importing to IPTC.

    Well,
    it works for me without problems.
    Some information on my setup and what I did:
    - my primary browser language is English (en-us)
    1) Save the data in a file called hardware.txt:
    SERIAL,HOSTNAME,ITEM_TYPE,BRAND,MODEL,OWNER,STATUS
    AEP016136,d2vmrw61,Laptop,Dell,m71,Gary Cleary,Active
    AEP016169,dhj3b71,Desktop,Dell,Dimension 4700,Unassigned,Active
    AEP016170,cn-0g8432-64180-52p-1yts,Monitor,Dell,E193FP,Unassigned,Active2) Load the data (Load text data) into an existing table by uploading a file:
    - File: hardware.txt
    - Separator: , (comma)
    Worked fine.
    3) Load the data (copy /paste spreadsheet data into an existing table):
    - Open the file hardware.txt in Excel and import it into the spreadsheet
    - copy all three lines and paste them into the textarea in XE (the difference is that the columns are no longer separated by commas but by tabs)
    Worked fine as well.
    Please try the above mentioned steps and see whether you still get the error.

  • I have CS5 and when I opened up a particular folder in Bridge, I see only a few thumbnails of my images.  The rest are this small blue icon.  How do I get my thumbnails back?

    In bridge on CS5 there is one folder I opened up today and in that folder I can only see a small percentage of thumbnail previews of the images.  The rest are this small blue icon.  How do I get my thumbnail previews back?  If I click on this icon it will open the image up okay in photoshop but I would like to see my thumbnail image to see what picture I am opening up.  Can anyone help?

    Well ... i purged my cache and the previews came back.  Thank you for looking.
