Bridge CS4 Photo Downloader issue

If I use Bridge CS4 photo downloader to retrieve images from a CF card, the download appears successful. Bridge and photoshop can process all files without problem from the download directory.
Subsequently, if I use Digital Photo Professional (Canon's provided image browser - known as DPP) to view the download directory, DPP will crash with a "DPPViewer.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close ..." fatal error window.
If I subsequently delete the first file from the download directory, DPP will successfully operate without crashing.
I have performed this test multiple times and it is "reasonably consistent".
If I use PhotoMechanic to download the images (Rather than Photo Downloader), DPP will never have an issue reading all files.
If I change Photo Downloader options to uncheck "Preserve Current File Name in XMP" and "Apply Metadata" to NONE, files can be imported by Photo Downloader and read properly by DPP.
My interpretation of this is that Digital Photo Downloader may have a problem properly downloading the first file from the CF card (hummm. a boundary condition :-) this may be associated with metadata.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Seems like I have seen posts where the autoload does not work correctly when you plug in a usb device  with 64 bit systems.  This is Windows Os thing.  Might google this to check for solutions.

  • 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.
    I did do a search before posting but didn't find an answer.  My alternate way of doing this is in Unix with a shell script and DCRAW, but in trying to create a standard workflow, I realized this was one place that complicates things.
    Again, thanks for taking the time to reply.

  • Bridge CS4 & photo downloader 64 bit

    Since updating to CS4, I can no longer use the Adobe photo downloader,  The pop up screen says "Loading devices list" and freezes that way forever. What can I do to make this work again?

  • Bridge CS4 Photo Downloader

    I like the organizational feature of Photo Downloader to place photos in a subdirectory based on metadata in the image.  However, I can only do this when reading from a camera or media card.
    Is there any way to trick Photo Downloader to do this with other media (existing subdirectory, external drive, or DVD)?
    If not, is there another way to feed a bunch of photos to Bridge and have them moved into dynamically created subdirectories based on metadata critera?
    Thanks in advance,
    scotto

  • IPhone 4 OS crashes Adobe Bridge's Photo Downloader and Nikon Transfer

    Ever since I updated my old iPhone 3G to the new OS4, it crashed Adobe Bridge's Photo Downloader, and I don't like to use iPhoto, so I won't. I haven't for years. I just bought the iPhone 4 fully expecting that the non-Apple photo utilities would get pictures off the camera, but no dice. The iPhone 4 crashes dobe Bridge's Photo Downloader too. I HATE using iPhoto for offloading. I wonder when Apple will deal with this.

    2 days ago I had my iPhone G3S with OS 4.02 attached by usb cord to load on songs from iTunes which was open. I opened up Bridge to offload photos from the iPhone. My computer froze and I had to force quit it with the off/start button. Since then even though I have completely uninstalled and then reinstalled the Adobe CS4 suite, Bridge still refuses to open and crashes every time. I reported the problem to Apple. I think this problem is not isolated and a bit more serious than first thought.
    I hate the idea of reinstalling every thing and still not solving the problem.

  • Bridge CS6 Photo downloader freezes on .mov files

    Bridge CS 6 photo downloader freezes on .mov files from a T4i.  To get the video files I've had to use Bridge CS5 photo downloader.
    I have PS CS5, PrPro & AE CS6 if this makes a difference.  Photos are no problem downloading.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    I shoot both.  I use Bridge & ACR CS6 to view and edit Raw files.  CS5 doesn't recognise the Raw files (had to convert to dng before I got Bridge CS6).   CS6 will download both Raw & Jpeg files.  It hangs up on the .mov files.
    I use a card reader on my Epson printer.  I've cleared the cache in Bridge. How do I resfresh the prefs in Bridge?
    My OS:
    Intel i7 3770, Windows 7 Pro w/SP1, 64 bit, Intel 520 Series SSD, 32G RAM, 2 – 2T RAID, (1T external), GTX 550 Ti graphics
    Thanks for your help.

  • CS4 Photo Downloader imports photos in wrong order

    I decided to give Photo Downloader a whirl with a batch of photos I took this weekend. I had about 400 photos spread over three cards, so I had them renamed with the date and a counter. I was using the high-speed drive mode on my camera (5Dmk2) and I noticed in one spot where I blew off a run of photos, Bridge imported them in some order other than the filename counter in the camera.
    I was looking at about a half-dozen shots of someone shooting a basketball and noticed that it looked like the ball came out and then was shot again, something that didn't happen in the game. Fortunately, I had Bridge embed the original filename from the camera into the XMP data and sure enough, Photo Downloader screwed up the order of the photos.
    How does Photo Downloader determine the proper order to download photos? There are no options to change the import order and the software clearly doesn't just read the filenames to get it sorted out.
    Any ideas? Or just stop using Photo Downloader? Or do I have to download the files, then rename then in filename order in Bridge?

    It is a known issue that Photodownloader can't get this sort order right every time, the higher frequency of motordrive used the more it will screw up.
    However when you don't use the rename function in downloader it will be more accurate. Feel also free to file a bug report about this using the contact button top right of this page, the more complaints the faster it will be repaired you would hope...).
    I rarely have sessions with that high speed but it occurred to me also and using no rename did suit me :-)
    You can then easily rename them in Bridge (also with more options) but it would be preferable that it worked right in downloader!
    The ups for using downloader are still great, without this rename setting for speedy jobs you are still left with the possibility to keep the original filename (and disable that in the Bridge batch renaming option), convert to DNG, make a back up copy and add a metadata template in one go :-)

  • CS4 Photo downloader - can I change the default path?

    I'm using Bridge on Windows 7 x64. I have 2 hard drives exclusively for photographs. I never, ever store them in 'C:\Users\Mary\Pictures'.   But when I download images with the Photo Downloader, C:\Users\Mary\Pictures' is the folder I'm offered. There's no box in which to paste a folder string - and it takes 9 clicks (including a couple in the scroll bar of the dialog box) to navigate to 'S:\Pictures, Initial\2 - Initial Negative Scans\2010 Initial Scans\[current subfolder]'.  Is there any way of making the downloader believe that I always want to download to S:\Pictures,  Initial\2 - Initial Negative Scans\2010 Initial Scans\....? I'm used to editing the Registry, but I can't find anything to edit in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Preferences.  Thanks  Mary

    Curt  You're right, it is something in Win 7.
    I remembered that I have CS4 on my laptop, which is still running WinXP, and tried the Photo Downloader there. It had remembered the last folder I pointed it to, way back in September.
    I then found a note telling myself what I had done to stop Bridge from using the c:\docs & settings\.....my pictures folder in XP. I'd used a utility that changes your default pictures, videos, etc., folders to whatever you want them to be.
    I never keep anything in them, so I  used the utility in Win 7  to change the default Pictures folder to 'S:\Z\ Pictures'.  When I opened Bridge Photo Downloader, the 'location' folder was  now 'S:\Z\ Pictures'. I navigated from there to 'S:\Pictures,  Initial\2 - Initial Negative Scans\2010 Initial Scans', created a subfolder, uploaded some raw files from the card reader, closed Bridge, and rebooted. 
    When I re-opened Bridge and the Photo Downloader, it still pointed to my last used folder. Triumph!
    Thanks for your help. I wouldn't have got there without it.
    I'll look on the Windows 7 forum to find out whether there's a less drastic way of doing this. After all, some people may want to keep their C:\Users\[user]\Pictures folder for non-Photoshop pix. There should be a way of doing it.

  • Adobe Bridge CS3 photo downloader won't auto-open.

    Hi,
    This is my mystery:
    I can open Bridge/File/Get Photos From Camera/, and select my cf card drive. But the Photo Downloader box USED to pop up when I first put my card in the reader. This does not happen any more - and I can't figure out why, or how to reset it.
    Any ideas?
    Bridge 2.1.1.9
    Windows XP Pro 64-bit
    Thanks,
    Karl G

    This may add Bridge to your list of "Open XXX with" programs.
    1) Using Windows Explorer, browse to any of the photographs on your system - not necessarily on your camera card. It's helpful if all of your photographs are JPGs or TIFs, but not necessary.
    2) Right-click one of the photo files and select "Properties".
    3) Near the top of that dialog is "Open with <program name>", and there should be a "Change..." button to the right of that. Click the Change button.
    4) On the "Open With" dialog, click the "Browse..." button and browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS3\Bridge.exe and click OK.
    5) Now, still on the "Open With" dialog, make sure the "Always use the selected program..." check-box is turned OFF. (If you can't turn it off, that shouldn't be a problem.
    6) Click OK and then close your Windows Explorer.
    At this point, you should be able to complete step 6) from my previous post. (Of course you'll have to follow all of those steps from my previous post.)

  • Bridge CS6 photo downloader freezes and will not allow import.

    Hello,
    I'm running Windows 8 and CS6.  Whenever I try and import images from an photo card, Photo Downloader freezes.  Only way to get out of dialogue box is to X out.   I cannot import or set up default folders, file names, etc..  This never happened to me on earlier versions of Bridge.  Any ideas?  Happy to provide more specifics if helpful or relevant.

    Do you have another reader?  USB dedicated to specific size is most reliable.
    If not you can try from camera, although this is the most error prone. 
    Also, it is recommended by many that you do not delete and format card in computer, but this should be done in camera each time.

  • Bridge CS5 Photo Downloader will not rename files

    I choose Custom Name + Shot Date but Photo Downloader ignores this
    and transfers files as MG+4 numbers. I can't even get a sequencial number even though I choose one
    Before in CS4 I used this option with success.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    Are you using a card reader for file transfer?
    If not buy  one as it provides better transfer operation than from camera.

  • Photo Downloader Issues

    I have used PSE 9 fine for a little while now and can't complain yet, except that in my photo downloader dialoge box, I don't have the "advanced dialoge" button option down at the bottom left. All the tutorials I've viewed and books I've scanned show screen shots indicating that I should have this option. Any idea why I don't? I want the option to choose which images to import as well as rename and add metadata info, etc. like I did with my PSE 6 that I was previously using.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Hmmm . . .that's interesting.
    It seems from the screen shots that I've seen, that it should be directly across from the "get media" and "cancel" buttons on the right. I can see those, but there is a big empty space on the left where before I had the "advanced dialoge" button. I can't understand why screen size/resolution would affect that. (I admit I'm slow on understanding technology . .. sorry.)
    The dialoge box I get when importing from my card reader does not give me the option to choose which images to import. It just imports all files found. I'm thinking that the only way around that is just to import them straight to my external drive storage and then to import them into PSE and rename, etc. I just miss how easy I had it with PSE 6 and am wondering if the same action is possible and I'm just missing something.
    Not sure if there is anything more to be said in answering my question. I will consider the answer to be "no", you will not get that button/option and you need to just learn all that PSE 9 does have to offer (smile).
    Thanks!
    (still trying to figure out how to check what my screen resolution is . .. .)

  • Photo Download Issues

    My photos download to my 5G IPod. The problem is that all are in alphabetical order except the most recent folders, that is from the last year or so. The software has been updated, the dates from the camera are correct but I have 10 or so folders randomly placed after the letter "Z". Any ideas?

    JOhn:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How are you downloading the files, directly into iPhoto? Are you letting iPhoto delete the files after the importing is complete?
    I vaguely recall something about iPhoto and possibly the system having a problem with the XD cards. When you said you tried other cards were they the same type?
    Have you used this camera with iPhoto previously? It's not on the list of Tiger supported cameras: http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/cameras.html.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How to import Bridge CS4 photo gallery into Dreamweaver CS4?

    I'm a novice when it comes to web design, but am starting to master DW CS4. While searching for a way to create good looking photo galleries I found an online video explaining how to do it using Bridge. The process in Bridge was strainght forward and simple. However, I have not found how I can bring the photo gallery I created in Bridge into a page based on a template in Dreamweaver. Can it be done? How?
    I designed a template for our website which I would like to use for any photo galleries in order to maintain the same "look and feel" and ease of navigating within our website (www.aquacomgroup.com).
    Please help!
