Bridge CS4 No Scroll Bug

When you select Output workspace, you can't mouse scroll through the right hand pane. It doesn't matter what output option you have chosen, PDF or Web Gallery. However, in the Content tab mouse scrolling works fine as do all of the other workspaces.
I think this is a bug as it makes no sense as to why it doesn't work.

I think you might have misunderstood me. Let me try and explain a bit better.
- Open Bridge CS4
- Click on the Output tab in the top right hand or Command F4.
- Select PDF or Web Gallery
- Open all of the panel options, (Site Info, Color Palette etc for Web Gallery)
- The scroll bar is now visible, position your mouse over any of the open panels, now try and scroll up or down, nothing.
If you position the mouse pointer over the scroll bar, you can scroll. With the pointer over one of the open panels you can't scroll.
Now some would say that is normal since that particular panel is entirely visible but, if you position one of the open panels near the bottom so it is not entirely visible and hover the pointer over that panel, scrolling does not work. This is a bug IMHO.

  • Creative Cloud Bridge scrolling bug

    I am having an issue where the content window in Bridge does not scroll with my mouse wheel on my second monitor, but it scrolls just fine on my primary monitor. I have tried a second mouse with the same result, so I do not believe it is a mouse issue.
    Bridge Version: 6.0.1.1 x64

    Let me know if any other information is required to troubleshoot this issue. Thanks.

  • Full Screen Preview is Soft in Bridge CS4

    I'm experiencing some notable softening of images when previewing them with full screen toggled on or when viewing images as a slide show. Type of file seems irrelevant (CR2, TIFF, JPEG, etc.) nor does image size make a difference. The strange thing is that when I mouse click on an image after toggling to full screen (which brings it to 100%) the image then appears sharp. Stranger yet, when I open a jpeg previously sized to fit my monitor at 100% I must still click on it to achieve a sharp image. Images otherwise appear fine in all workspaces and no hassles with nVidia 195 drivers. I've tried all options for thumbnail previews, reset preferences, purged cache all to no avail. Is this a bug or does a solution exist? Win XP sp3.

    Curt's statement about known problems with Photoshop and Bridge is the understatement of the decade.  At least as it pertains to my Nvidia GeForce 9800GT running a Gateway FHD2400 and HP w2408 monitor.
    Upgrading from a stable install of CS2 to CS4 was a nightmare that cost me hundreds of hours with Adobe, and alone, with no solution.  Even their "clean" utilities failed to remove the software (CS2 & CS4) from my computer for a clean install of CS4.  I was forced to do a total format and reinstall of everything on my system.  That was a two week nightmare.
    After all that a clean install of CS4 still presented the same problems with PS.  The final solution was to reinstall PS7 and use it in lieu of CS4.  For my digital workflow it works just fine.  Photoshop CS2 and CS4 do not like co-existing on the same system with some unknown software driver from the one interfering with the other.
    The problems with CS4 were two-fold.  The first was an extremely slow scroll rate no matter the video display settings or PS4 settings utilized.  By slow I mean the zoom (Ctrl + 0) and then scroll around the screen using a square marquee would take up to 5 minutes on a, roughly, twenty megabyte file with no layers.  The same process in PS7 took approximately two seconds per image side.  The same image was uploaded to Adobe with similar results.  No resolution to the problem came to light after two weeks of back and forth.
    The other problem is that PS CS4 constantly comes with up the "...includes graphic card acceleration..." popup window.  This, even though it has been disabled and enabled in PS.  Neither option prevents the popup from appearing.  The problem lies somewhere with Adobe's handling of the pasteboard (that area beyond the actual image) and its interaction with the video driver.
    From both of these problems as explained it would seem that Adobe has known of the problem for some time.  This iteration of the software works beautifully on a non-Nvidia system and various different Nvidia drivers have been tried.  Since Bridge CS4, which is used continuously throughout a fifteen hour workday, works, I suppose I should count my blessings.
    The most stable Nvidia GeForce 9800GT driver I have found to be is version 181.20 with video bios version 62.92.52.00.07
    I will seriously consider whether or not to purchase the next version of Creative Suite when it appears.  My experience has been that Adobe's corporate policy is to charge customers via new versions with fixes for problems that existed in earlier software builds.  And then to create new dilemmas!
    And thank you for all that you Curt.

  • How to view individual art board in Bridge CS4?

    Hi.
    Can somebody tell me how to configure the Adobe Bridge CS4 so that it shows/views/displays individual art boards (that I can scroll thru) and NOT the whole *.ai file (which contains ALL the art boards)?
    I want to preview the individual art boards as a larger image, and when they all appear together in the *.ai file, they appear smaller.
    At the bottom of this page:
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/illustrator/articles/lrvid4016_ai.html
    it says;
    "To view documents, open Adobe Bridge and select an Illustrator document from the Content panel. A larger view of the document appears in the Preview panel located to the right of the Content panel. When viewing an Illustrator file with multiple artboards, click the right-facing arrow below the preview to display each of the artboards."
    I do not have this arrow, so therefore no option. On my bridge, all artboards appear together. How do I separate them and get the arrow he is talking about?
    TIA.

    Interesting, looks like you also need to save the file with Create PDF Compatible File checked in the Illustrator options dialog when saving - the sample files were saved without PDF compatibility, so no individual artboard preview.
    I resaved the sample file In the Cradle of the Deep with Create PDF Compatible File checked, and it shows the artboard previews individually.

  • Adobe Bridge CS4 vs CS3

    Hello everyone,
    I'm taking a class at the college about Photoshop and we are in a chapter
    where we're using Bridge.
    The class uses version CS4, but I'm using CS3 (the instructor gave a
    thumbs-up to that prior to class). I'm in a place where I can't figure out
    how to do it in CS3 and asking your help.
    Here's the scenario from the textbook (CS4):
    1. Open Bridge and click on the Folders tab.
    --- Like in PS, there is a menu at the top that I don't have in CS3. Same
    here in Bridge. After clicking the Folder tab, the book is showing a screen
    where there are headings of Essentials, Filmstrip, Metadata, and Output.
    2. Open the .psd file
    --- that we were working with earlier in the chapter in PS
    3. Click Output, then click the PDF button, then click Repeat One Photo per
    Page check box, then click the Refresh Preview button.
    --- I'm lost!
    4. Scroll down to the Watermark section of the Output panel, click the View
    PDF After Save checkbox, then Save.
    --- Still lost!
    Before I'm troubling you, I spent about 90 minutes looking through menus,
    Adobe help, and online. Nothing!
    So I'm drawing on the experience within the group to tell me if these steps
    are possible in CS3 - even if they are not exactly as described above. As in
    PS, sometimes the book shows how to do something and I can figure out a
    work-around in CS3.
    Thank you!
    Gil

    I certainly agree with John J.  The user interfaces are quite different, and the Bridge Output create  pdf function you are asked to do in Bridge CS4 replaced a CS3 pdf fuction performed from Photoshop CS3 called PDF Presentation.
    Here's a series of CS3 steps that gets close to what your CS4 exercise looks to be calling for:
    1. Launch Bridge CS3 and click on the folders tab and navigate to the folder with the pds files for your exercise.  (Ignore the different layout for workspaces et al.)
    2. Select one or more psd files in Bridge (thumbnails in Content panel). 
    3.  Still in Bridge, click on Tools > Photoshop > PDF Presentation.  This will launch Photoshop if it not already open and display a PDF Presentation dialog box with some choices.  The top section will list Source Files, which should show the file or files you had selected in Bridge.  In the bottom section Output Options select the Presentation button, and you might click to Include Filename.
    4. Click Save at top of the dialog box.  You should get a Save dialog box.  Select filename and where to save the pdf; then you should see Photoshop's Save Adobe PDF dialog box in which, under General,  you can check View PDF After Saving.

  • Bridge CS4 Photo Downloader Date Created

    Quick question. When using the Adobe Bridge CS4 Photo Downloader to download pictures from a camera, how do I keep the original shot dates (date created) to show up in the Finder Info. Seems like it's just putting the date modified (downloaded date and time) into the date created.
    Is this a known bug?

    Thanks, John.

  • Bridge CS4 will not update to Camera Raw 5.7 on one of my computers.

    Bridge (CS4) will properly display my Nikon NEFs (from my Nikon D3 & D3S) on my old Mac Pro (Lion 10.75) but only the NEFs from the D3 are displayed on the exact same program on my MacBook Pro Retina - Mavericks).
    I have followed Adobe's instructions perfectly, over and over again, but no matter what I try (and I did try some variations) I cannot update from Camera RAW Preferences.Version 5.0.0.178 on the MacBookPro Retina.
    The Camera RAW preferences Version on the older Mac Pro computer's identical copy of Bridge CS4 is Version 5.7.0.213.
    I tried opening and installing a download of Camera_Raw_5_7.dmg from Adobe and I also tried dropping in the Camera Raw plugin file from the older computer but nothing works. I have emptied the cache several times.
    I dont know if this is significant but when I first started trying to do this, I could not find the Plug-Ins folder in the Adobe file on the MacBook Pro Retina, so I copied the one from the Mac Pro's Adobe folder.
    Please help. I can only use Bridge on my older desktop computer because of this problem.
    Thank you.
    Jan

    Well, Jan, over the years I've helped many Mac users with this precise problem, and I even posted screen shots showing the path to the correct plug-in folder for ACR.  However, in your case all those images won't help and I won't be able to generate new ones for you for one simple reason: I do not use Mavericks and never will because my Mac Pro desktops cannot go above Lion, FORTUNATELY. Mavericks is still cr@p at this point.
    All I can do is try to clarify a few misconceptions for you:
    AutoMatters wrote:
    …I read that about the root level library when I first tried to follow the instructions from Adobe and I thought that I was doing exactly that. Instead of the library associated with my name, I found the library associated with my hard drive. I suspect that I have not yet even seen the root level library…
    Jan, that is the ROOT LEVEL Library.
    Getting back to your advice, I do not understand what you mean by mounting the .dmg file as if it were a DVD or external hard drive.
    I mean just that.  A Disk Image file (.dmg) is a virtual disk, like a virtual DVD.  You double click on that file in the Finder and it will then mount just as if you had inserted a DVD into your computer.  It will then show you the contents it carries.  I will not be at my computers for a few weeks, so I can't be sure about all that the Disk Image for that update shows; but somewhere in there will be the ACR Plug-in.  That's what you need to copy from the Disk Image to your hard drive and install it in its correct location, NOT THE BLOODY .dmg file, for goodness sakes!
    Do you understand that once you are at the ROOT LEVEL Library you DO NOT go to the Plug-ins folder therein?  Read the instructions again.  What you want is to continue the path through the Application Support folder /Adobe / Plug-ins / etc.
    This old screen shot may help. Command or Control-Click on the thumbnail to see the full image in a new window, then scroll horizontally; it is a VERY wide image:
    Also, if I delete the Plug-ins folder that I copied from my other computer's installation of Bridge CS4. Should I reinstall the entire CS4 suite from the original disks and start all over again. If so, I read somewhere that I will need to somehow deactivate my serial number from the products as installed on my MacBook Pro so that I may reinstall it.
    Delete anything you may have copied yourself only if you are 100% sure what that is. But DO NOT REINSTALL ANYTHING without first uninstalling using the Adobe UNINSTALLER that was installed in your Utilities folder inside your Applications folder.
    Whatever possessed you to go around copying folders from a different Mac OS version? ???  That is insane! Geez…
    Why the heck do you keep talking about Bridge? ??? !!!  Bridge has absolutely NOTHING to do with the installation of ACR.  NOTHING!
    ACR is installed at the OS level and can be hosted indistinctly by Photoshop or by Bridge from the same location.
    Bridge is totally out of the loop in this discussion, just as it is when you are using ACR hosted by Bridge.  All Bridge does is call upon the appropriate application, whether this be Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), Illustrator or even Microsoft Word and hand it the file, period.  You could use ACR for years without ever launching Bridge, even without having Bridge installed. Ever.

  • Raw and TIFF Thumbnails Not Showing in Bridge CS4

    Hi,
    I just bought Photoshop CS4 and installed.  I got an installation error and had to remove and reinstall CS4 (and ran the Mac Cleanup Utility in between).  Then, CS4 installed successfully.
    Now, when I fire up Bridge CS4, I can preview JPG files, but not TIFF or RAW (*.NEF format from my D200) files.
    Has this happened to anyone else and is there a fix I can apply?  I have installed known updates for CS4 and have purged the cache.
    I have tried searching adobe and the online communities for this issue, but haven't been able to locate it.  The problem also applies to *.PSD documents.  I have also tried Tools>Cache>Purge Cach for Folder xxx and this doesn't fix things.
    Thanks in advance for your advice!!!

    OK, I'm back already.
    The bug was easily and instantly reproduced just as I wrote earlier:
    With one of the lines under the thumbnails (thumbnail view in
    Bridge) set to date created, and the other three to Date Modified,
    Pixel Dimensions and Color Profile, respectively. I then invoked the
    Global Purge cache command in Bridge CS4. Poof! The date created line
    under each and every thumbnail is now blank. The space for the line is there, but it's totally empty,
    blank. >:(
    Invoking
    Tools > Cache > Build and Export Cache > for all folders and subfolders restores the data in the blanked lines wiped out by the global Purge Cache command in Bridge preferences.
    Thank goodness I had disconnected the FW drives.
    I then went again and repeated the procedure one more time. The
    Date Created line was again immediately left blank under all
    thumbnails.
    As far as I'm concerned,
    the Global Purge cache command in Bridge Preferences in CS4 is broken
    , just as it was in CS3 at least until someone tells me how to stop this from happening, reliably and consistently.

  • How do I make a PDF Slideshow from Bridge CS4 with 500 images?

    Every year I go for an extended photo shooting trip. I use about 400 to 600 of the images to make a PDF slide show. This worked fine in all previous versions of Bridge, but no longer works properly in Bridge CS4. I can create PDF files with up to 329 images, but when I try to make a PDF file with more than that, the PDF file is corrupted. Sometimes, the PDF file opens, but about 10% of the image at random location are corrupted, and their thumbnails show up as white or black patches. At other times, the file does not open in Adobe Reader. I get a variety of error messages. The most common is #109.
    Just to be certain it is not caused by my images, I used 550 images I had used to make a PDF show last year with Bridge CS3. I get the same problem. The slide show created last year with 550 images in Bridge CS3 still works in Adobe Reader, ruling out the Reader a being the cause of the problem. It appears that some bug has crept into the CS4 Bridge code.
    Unfortunately, a while ago a deleted CS3 from my hard drives without making a copy of the downloaded dmg of CS3, so I can no longer re-install CS3. BTW, other than this bug, I am very happy with CS4. As a photographer, I find the improvements made in CS4 ACR stunning.
    Is there a known work-around for this bug?
    Is it likely to be fixed in an upcoming update?
    Is there a way I can download a copy of CS3 allowing me to install CS3 Bridge, or, if needed, the whole CS3 suite?
         (I still have a record of my CS3 registration code.)

    I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
    Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
    I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

  • SVG Preview in Bridge CS4

    Just wondering what happened to preview for SVG files in Bridge CS4? I have tried 2 computers now and both of them have Scalable Vector Graphic previews in CS2 & CS3, but not CS4.
    I know Adobe gave up on supporting it in favor of Flash, but does that mean I can't preview the old SVG files I have on my computer. Half the clip art on the web is in SVG format??
    -dal

    Adobe is most likely getting out of the software business... or maybe just admitting that they're out of it.  Look at the disgraceful state of Illustrator, riddled with major design defects and bugs since its inception, and never fixed.  I run Corel Draw in a VM rather than waste one more hour on this POS.  I've given it many chances, and every time I do I discover more craven stupidity in its design and more incompetence in its execution.
    The sad fact is that there's no money or interest in high-complexity computer applications for the general public anymore.  That's why Adobe has gotten away with peddling the same defective crap year after year.  Writing competing applications for even one platform, let alone two, is a mountainous task that no one is going to take on today.
    I wish there were a competent vector art program for the Mac, but there isn't.  I've tried every one I can find.  The closest I've found is Inkscape, which runs under X11.  I love to see Freehand open-sourced.

  • Problems with Bridge CS4.

    Dear members:
    Since my last disappointing experiences with Bridge I decided I would wait until CS4 had been out for a while and Adobe had the chance to clean all the bugs and problems with the first releases. I am now beginning to use the CS Premium suite and Bridge is by far the one application I used the most to browse my large library of photos.
    In trying to use for the past few days I have run into numerous problems. Some of them are:
    1. When I first launch the application I get an error message stating the following:
    " Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation. "
    2. While building previews for a folder with approximately 200 images Bridge displayed a message stating the it was low on memory and suggesting I should restart it. This has happened to other folders and not just this one, some with more and some with less images. I am sure the issue has nothing to do with memory as I have always used Bridge CS3 with these folders without any such problems.
    3. Despite the fact that all my image folders contain thumbnails and previews previously created by CS3 the new Bridge CS4 treats them as if they contained nothing. The application starts the whole process all over again and takes longer than CS3 did to perform the same task.
    My computer is a Powermac G5 dual 2.0 GHz with 4.5 GB RAM and two internal 1.5 GB HD. Considering this kind of internal RAM I don't think memory should be an issue.
    I ran the update tool but couldn't find any newer version of Bridge CS4. To the best of my knowledge I am running the latest versions of all applications in the CS4 Premium suite
    Some of the questions I have are:
    1. Can't CS4 use the thumbnails and previews that were previously built by Bridge CS3 ? Will the application have to start this whole process all over again for every single folder I have ?
    2. Why all these error messages and bugs ?
    3. Is CS4 really slower than CS3 ? So far this has been my experience.
    4. Considering at least one bug remains from the previous CS3 version (the little triangles that appear next to folders even when there are no subdirectories) how many problems should I expect to find with this new version ?
    My apologies for all the questions above but the answers are important as I am now beginning to use the application for critical tasks.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Joseph

    There appears to be many problems in all versions of Adobe Creative Suite with Bridge.
    I have a few post currently and even the employees of Adobe seem very uninterested in helping at all. They sure offer info on posting correct data and correct forum but little else to help resolve our problems.
    The majority of problems you  are incurring I have had and 99% were cured within the "Security>User" settings. Check similiar posts that are listed to the right of your post.
    The final problem of "Not enough memory" has still not been resolved. Phone Tech support is no longer available free and I even paid for 1 session, spent 3.5 hours with the Tech and problem was "escalated"....that was in August 2010!!
    Good luck!

  • Bridge CS4 - Lost all file associations - On 2 computers

    I run Photoshop CS4 on my desktop and notebook, Windows XP Pro.
    I have lost all my file associations with bridge CS4.  If I clicked on a .jpg MS paint would start up.  It use to work before no problem.  If I reset, it does nothing.  This is happening on both of my machines.
    I manually selected PS CS4 but at times MS Paint still comes up and if I click the restore defaults, NOTHING happens.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    I have a similar but subtle difference showing up. This morning, I clicked Open on a .psd in Bridge CS3 and got "~Photo~1" in place of a program selection. In some cases, I got this and CS4 as options. If I go to Find in Explorer, it opens. Since I have decided to wait for CS5 and the trial period is almost over, I uninstalled CS4 and did a cleanup afterwards. Now, when I go to CS3 Bridge nothing happens. Find in Explorer says it cannot open it either. So I checked File Associations and sure enough it was practically empty, saying "None" to the vast majority of file types. It even indicated None for the nef files but they do open in ACR anyway.
    Since my three basic file types are Tiff, psd and nef, I got those working by re-associating them in XP. I also have a number of DNG, but haven't tried these yet.
    Reading the links here, it looks like this is a real bug and since it is persistent back to CS2, has been around for a while.
    I expect I will have to uninstall CS3 and do a CS cleaner and start over again.
    This is on XP. I have Win7 as well, but at the moment, only CS3 there. I'll reinstall CS4 then uninstall it and see if W7 is also a problem.

  • Problems with keywording in Bridge CS4

    Hi,
    I am using Bridge CS4 to add keywords and captions (descriptions) to my photos. However, I have noticed that when I change the photos from location, from one folder to another, Bridge cannot recognize the keywords anymore (no problem with the captions). The same happens if I change the name of the folder where the photos are in. This problem happens if I do those folder changes outside Bridge AND also INSIDE Bridge.
    However other programs (Picasa, Windows7 AND surprisingly Photoshop CS4) will recognize the keywords after those folder changes.
    Can someone help me with this Bridge problem ? is this a well known bug ?
    Anthony

    i have tried with 2 out of the 3 options. I cannot purge the cache, i will then loose all the information (labels, ratings,...) on my big database (160,000 images). (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331083.html)
    It did not work ;-(
    Another very strange thing, i noticed that the 10% of pictures that were not affected by the problem are in 99% of the cases vertical (portrait pictures)...
    Thanks for trying to help !

  • Can't Search PDFs in Bridge CS4??

    I was considering using Bridge CS4 to manage my thousands of PDF documents, but have run across a problem on Win 7 64-bit.  Searching the fulltext of PDFs in bridge always yields no documents -- even if I choose to use Windows Search.   I have the proper ifilter set up to do fulltext searches of PDFs, and fulltext search does work if I just use the windows search box from the start menu, but it absolutely does not work work in bridge at all.
    Any idea why?
    thanks

    OK, I think I see what you are saying now.
    When you click search with Windows on the Bridge toolbar can you see it searching through the folders?
    As a test try a search for a metadata item like a keyword and see it the Windows search turns that up.  It may indeed be a bug if the nothing shows up.
    Win7 and CS4 were not built to run together and there are still things to fix.  But with CS5 due out shortly, who knows how much effort they will put into that effort.

  • Photoshop CS4 - File Type Associations and Bridge CS4

    I have both Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop Elements 7.0 installed on my PC running Windows Vista Home Premium, I removed Photoshop CS3 after installing CS4. The issue I have is that if I look at file associations in Bridge CS4 under Preferences, none of the file types are set to Photoshop CS4, they are set to either Explorer or Photoshop Elements 7.0. The even stranger thing is also that if I try to change the associations, Photoshop CS4 is not even displayed as an option, as Photoshop Elements 7.0 always is, I have to browse in order to find it. This works, but I find it strange. Also within Windows none of the file associations are set to Photoshop CS4 after installation, I have to change them manually, again by browsing for it. I remember that in previous installs of Photoshop there was the possibility to change or use default file associtions, does CS4 have this? I guess this is not really a problem, but I find it somewhat strange that Elements 7.0 is always offered as an option but not CS4 and makes me feel it hasn't installed properly. Anyone have any ideas?

    CCleaner did the trick for me too!
    But I still suspect something about CS4 installer is not right.
    Under CS3 I used Vista "open with">"choose program">"always use" to assiciate bridge CS3 with my canon camera raw files.. At that time it did work.
    After installing CS4, I wanted to do the same with bridge CS4 but it didnt work. In the "choose program" vista menu, whatever I was doing, I couldnt select bridge CS4 it was always comming back to photoshop cs4 or bridge cs3.
    After using CCleaner, I could re-associate the way I want right away.
    So my word to photoshop's installer developper: please try to reproduce this issue, it should be easy, and make the installer avoid this.
    Thanks
