Bridge CS3 Thumbnail filenames different from actual filenames

This is really weird query.
When I drag a selection of files into Bridge a small number of the filenames randomly appear with different and very abbreviated names (1or 2 characters) in the horizontal filmstrip i.e. 1.jpg, 2.jpg, A.jpg, AB.jpg.
Sometimes the changed filename seems to reflect the original file i.e. Bloggs_Joe_1234.jpg appears as BJ.jpg. The metadata of the files remain unaltered.
When I drag the abbreviated filename unto my desktop and rename it, it opens in the normal way displaying the full filename when I doubleclick it.
It opens in PS Elements displaying the correct name. The obvious difference is that I am by-passing Bridge.
The files concerned have been shot on a variety of cameras and processed originally on a variety of PC & MAC versions of Photoshop. I am presently using Elements 6 for the Mac. I am using OSX Version 10.5.6.
Thanks, in anticipation, for any suggestions as to where the problem lies.
Victor

Thank you for your unbelievably fast response. I am using Bridge CS3 which was supplied with Elements 6 for the Macintosh. I will also try the Photoshop Elements forum.

Victor

PSE6 Bridge CS3 - can I import from iPhoto

I have the new PSE6 (love it) and Bridge CS3 (ambivalent) and iPhoto (easy to use) on the same imac 24. I have imported from my reader into iPhoto - over 2000 pics - but want the functionality of PSE6 to manipulate images.
Can it be done? I really do not want to duplicate 2000 pics on my hard drive. The only way I have been able to do individuals is from the base directory, with no ability to browse properly. It IS frustrating, and probably only needs a little tweek.
I use a Canon 40d and have tried the sRAW concept, with crap results
Cheers, George Cooper

George,
That can't be done.
If you do a forum search on
iPhoto you will find existing threads where this has been discussed before, for instance:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b4aff8/1
You don't
"import" images
"into" Bridge. You just browse and open them wherever they reside in the Finder.
iPhoto, on the other hand, creates a virtual library and hides your images from access through the Finder... and from Bridge.
Good luck with Elements 6. I just requested a refund for a copy I had bought for a laptop. First time I have ever returned an Adobe product, and I've been an Adobe customer for well over 20 years.
I guess if you've never used the full Photoshop, you won't know what you're missing. I found Elements overwhelmingly, oppressively limited. Even ACR is bestially crippled when hosted by Elements, even though it is the same plug-in used by the full version of Photoshop.
The
free GIMP is far, far superior to Elements.
Oh well... I hated iPhoto too. :/

Email notification different from actual post

Something I just noticed and am wondering about. Recently I have received some email notifications that are quite different from what is actually posted on the thread. In one, the link was different and there was some differences in wording. In another, there was more text in the post than there was on the email. This seems different from what I am accustomed to seeing, which would often be edited versions of the same post. It seems like the email is an earlier version of the post, but I can't be sure. It has sparked my curiosity, and I am just wondering why this is happening. Has anybody else noticed this?

S.U.,
As Miriam states, unchecking the edit box will cause the reply to not have that info.
I, like Miriam, will occasionally uncheck the edit box but in my case it usually has to do with the fact that I have edited the post more than once and found that if I don't uncheck the edit box on successive edits there will be a long string of edited text below the post. Just cleans up the post a bit. I too, have been guilty of vanity in editing, as I'm sure that most are here.....after all, aren't we all perfect typists here?

Thumbnails are different to actual pictures in phot app on iMac

When I select certain thumbnails a different picture comes up. Not the thumbnail. This makes it difficult to find certain photos.

backup your Photos library and launch photos while holding down the option and command keys - repair your library

Why is Bridge displaying thumbnails in different sizes in same folder?

Please see screenshot below:
I'm working with large image files, about 10k pixels square, 300Mb or so. They start out as tifs, but when I adjust in Photoshop, then save, sometimes the thumbnails get miniaturized (not always). File size is slightly larger, but that does not seem to be a factor.
NOW I just thought of something:
In Preferences, there is the "Do not process files over - - - size." Now, I have it set for 1GB, but I just checked it and saw this: "Previously cached files will not be affected by changes to this setting. This setting takes effect after the cache has been purged." So maybe what happened is that when I loaded CS5 recently, and changed the setting to 1GB, it didn't take effect as I did not purge the cache.
BUT some of the mini thumbnails files are actually smaller than their larger brethren. I would be willing to try purging anyway, except for my fear that it is going to take HOURS. I mean I have thousands of files, many of them this size or larger. Any thoughts?

I mean I have thousands of files, many of them this size or larger. Any
thoughts?
This seems to happen randomly and might also be caused by having a very
large cache file in the preference folder combined with less free disk space
and doing some actions in Bridge to fast whilst previous job is still
caching in the background. But that is purely a personal thought without
scientific proof I'm afraid...
However it is indeed cache related and purging cache is the solution. But
luckily there are other ways then purging the entire cache in one go. First
you can try is hit the F5 key to refresh the window (menu view/refresh)
Sometimes this helps.
Second is to select the files that have the small icon. Sometimes this is
enough to rebuild them but quicker is to select one or multiple files and
with right mouse click choose 'purge cache for selection' from the menu. The
bigger the files the longer it takes to build the cache but with only a few
selected it is only a few seconds to a minute for it rebuilds itself.
And while having a coffee break you can choose from the menu
Tools/cache/purge cache for folder and let the folder recache. Depending on
the amount of content it surely will be done before you have emptied half of
of your coffee cup (that is also depending on size and content of coffee cup
and your thirst...)

Number of photos in ABOUT is different from actual number of photos in gallery

Hello. I've been trying to save space on my iPhone 5. And it said on the 'usage' that my photo library is taking up 1.5Gb of the memory. That sure is big, so I deleted some photos. There were only a few that I deleted, and only a few left now. But in the 'ABOUT' it said that my photos are 361 and videos are 8, which is not the same with the actual photos i have in my gallery. i only have 15 photos and only 1 video. I want to free up that very huge space. What should I do?

Try to watch if the songsare uncheked.if so that's the prlblem.check the songs and update ipod.or, if you want to disable that function go to :
edit>perferences>Ipod>music> and see if the box"Only update checked songs" is checked, if it is uncheck it. this sould solve your problem

GR value different from actual value in limit PO

Experts,
We created a limit PO for $100. GR and invoice was done for $80. However the limits tab in PO shows actual value as $85!
Why this difference of $5? ($85 - $80)
Regards

Hi,
Is the value of EKBE-REFWR = RSEG-WRBTR for your PO and invoice? If yes, then what you are seeing is not an error. The values are correct.
The 'Actual value' in the PO displays the sum of the invoiced amount referred to the PO/item (EKBE-REFWR / EKBE-REFWR).
But the displayed 'Value in local curr' in the PO's history for each invoice's item (EKBE-WRBTR) is not the invoice item's amount, it includes the following 4 parts:
1. Invoice item's amount
2. Non-Deductible Input Tax(NVV)
3. unplanned Delivery costs
4. Cash discount amount
So the 'actual value' in the PO cannot be the same as the totoal invoiced value.
Regards,
Purnima.

Medical Collection date different from actual EOB date Central State Recovery

Hi, New posting to this particular forum as I usually stay on the Mortgage site, but this issue might be more suited and possibly get an answer here. So I have been disputing the charge for the last two years, but since I am trying to buy a house, I called and asked if they would do a PFD and from others' posts I knew that this particular company would not do so. It was just $25.20 so I paid it. The issue is that the date they say the EOB shows is Sept 2011 but the date the CA reports on my report is 02/21/2012. Is that something that can be changed or am I stuck with that date until June 2018? They do not report to TU just EX and EQ. Any advise would be appreciated.

Marker Count in Timeline differs from actual quantity

I am adding Chapter Markers to a project and although there are twenty thus far, when pressing 'M' to add the next marker it shows a far greater amount. I.e., the next Marker I am adding will actually be number 21 but when pressing 'M' once it states "Marker 65". So forth and so on. Why is this?
Thanks.

It's the number of markers you've added in the project. If you delete markers the numbers are still added and continue to increment upward.

Why is my iPhone no longer able to communicate with adobe bridge cs3?

We have 2 iphone 4's that I have been able to download photos from and into my imac for the last year while using the adobe bridge cs3. Recently, it began giving me an error meassage: " Adobe bridge cs3 cannot obtain files from this device. Please ensure that the device is connected properly,or that the battery is charged, adn try again".
I did both and that message still pops up. My usb ports are working fine as well as the usb cords(as far as I know of) and the batteries are fully charged when I do so. So what is the deal here??? If anyone can please help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!!!

Maro,
I'm running VISTA on my PC. None of the suggestions solved the problem. I uninstalled iTunes removing all suggested files from another post and reinstalled iTunes 11.1.3 and removed the iTunes Ibarra from my iPhone Remote. I restarted the computer, iPhone & router. I added the iTunes library to my iPhone remote. I didn't get an icon on the menu bar of the iTunes on the PC but a dialog came up asking for the code which was on my phone. I typed in the code and the library showed up on my iPhone Remote. I selected it and got an error message that it couldn't connect. This is extremely weird and frustrating. What should I do now?

Bridge CS3 won't display thumbnails and locks up

Running a Mac G5 Dual 2gHz processors with OS 10.4.11 and 4GB ram...
I started today working with images on an internal drive and all was well until I selected an older external drive. Bridge vers. 2.0.0.975 would not display thumbnails on the older drives and stopped functioning altogether when selecting a different folder or any menu item.
Reinstalled Photoshop and Bridge and folders/thumbs from internal drive still displayed just fine, but still would not display on external drives. Ever since I tried holding down the option key when restarting Bridge, the the problem has spread to the internal drive and now those images will not display.
And yes, I did try upgrading to Bridge 2.1.1.9, but that update never worked at all for me.
I gotta vent here. Bridge CS3 has been a consistent headache from the first day of purchase. Since Bridge CS3 has never worked properly, how can I justify the purchase of Photoshop CS4 upgrade?

Hey Jim
Good it worked, seem to remember that there have been problems with some users and the auto update feature from Adobe?
Whenever I used Bridge CS3 for a week or 6 to 8 (I also work with it a lot and and also large amount of files) trouble was coming up and I just delete the plist and cache file and restarted with option to refresh prefs. I don't use the cache for archive purpose and usual work with one main folder. After finished I move the files to specific folders without caching those so after deleting cache I only need to recache a few folders and was able to work flawlessly for a certain period.
I must say that Bridge CS4 is more stable and is working also very nice and again better compared to the prior version.
For system maintenance I use Disk Warrior every now and then but Cocktail on a daily basis, scheduled automatically after an also time scheduled auto start up of system and some apps. Cocktail is cheap and easy, :-)

CS3 bridge: Tiff thumbnails overexposed...Why?

I'm working on a PC and I just upgraded to CS3 from CS2. In Bridge, when I save my files from RAW to Tiff, the Tiff thumbnails are all overexposed. All the Raw thumbnails are properly exposed according to the settings in Camera Raw. When I first save the tiff file, the thumbnail has the correct exposure settings, but then instantly changes to an overexposed setting. This happens to all the Tiff thumbnails and also to the large preview image, but not to the RAW thumbnails or preview images. When I open the Tiff file, the settings are correct.
I have a feeling it has something to do with the thumbnail preview settings in "preferences". Can someone help me please? I'm sure it's something simple.
Thanks...

That option that you changed is not one for viewing JPEG and TIFF images in ACR, but for editing them in ACR. I have it checked on my system, and I have all my thumbnails. Problem is that Bridge seems to behave differently on different computers. It seems to me that there are more problems with the PC than the Mac. I have an older PC that is slow by today's standards so I just kind of limp along with Bridge. Yes, you can use other browsers. I have used Faststone, but although it is faster, all of the features are not there. I surely hope Adobe comes up with a better solution. There certainly won't be one in CS3, but maybe it will be one of the motivating factors to get people to move to CS4. It's doubtful (in my opinion) that we will see an improvement in this version.

Adobe Bridge CS3 - does not display thumbnails for Canon 40D or 50D RAW files

I wanted to use Bridge to view my Canon EOS 50D RAW files and it does not display the thumbnails, just icons. I checked my 40D cr2 files and saw same thing.
I have purged the cache and rest the cache preferences and it has not helped. I would like to be abl eto view the thumbnails of the RAW files via Bridge if possible. Jpg files and Tif files can be viewed without any issues.
Am using Bridge version 2.1.1.9 and Pshop CS3 10.0.1

I have the exact same problem. I can view my RAW file thumbnails (which are .ARW files from my Sony A200 camera) in the Finder and in other applications, such as Preview, but not in Adobe Bridge CS3. I know that I did try purging the cache at one point to see if that would fix it, but then I didn't know what to do after that. Before I purged the cache, I was able to view RAW thumbnails in Bridge, but then they would not increase in size when I tried using the slider (at the bottom right of the Bridge window)

How can I have a topic name different than the filename of a linked Word document?

I've encountered multiple issues with linking to Word files ...here's another one: If a Word document is entitled Feature_ABC, then upon generating the HTM after linking it, the HTM's filename and topic name are both Feature_ABC. As underscores are ugly in topic names and features can be renamed, I would hope that I could rename the topic to be different than the filename.
The Help documentation suggests this is possible by editing the Topic Name Pattern in the Word Conversion Settings dialog of Project Settings. However, reagardless of the Pattern entered, every time I generate or update from the context menu of a linked Word document the topic name remains the same as the filename.
Because the topic name is shown in the Search panel and browser tabs, it will be a little ugly and may even be confusing. It is possible to edit the HTML directly, but then the HTML is overwritten each time the Word documents are update and the great advantage of using linked documents is lost.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

Thank you for your quick reply - just checked Multifox out.
It seems it still forces me to open a new window, while preventing the need for a new profile.
Why isn't it in the addons.mozilla.org ? Looks dangerous ...
