Bridge CS6 CR2 preview display problem

Whilst I can see CR2 (Canon 5D mk 3) files in the main display field, hitting the space bar only shows a 'CR2' icon. what's best action.

What's the fix for this?
It might be cache related, can you select a CR2 thumb that shows good in the preview panel and then with right mouse click choose 'purge cache for selected files' and see if this solves the problem.
If not restart Bridge holding down option key (mac) or control key (Win) and from the menu choose reset preferences.

Adobe Bridge CS6 does not display WMF graphics files - what to do?

The question says it all. I am running Win7Pro 64bit with Adobe Bridge CS6. This may be a windows/microsoft/wmf file format problem...but what to do? WMF files display with a icon only. Please advise.

Apparently Bridge cannot preview .WMF files. I have old ClickArt CDs and occasionally want an image. So I have converted all the .WMF files to .AI using a script in Illustrator. Once converted, Bridge will display a thumbnail.
Here is the script written by Carlos Canto. (Thank you Carlos, whoever you are!)
Copy the script text. Paste in a plain text editor. Save as ConvertWMFtoAi.jsx in the folder Program Files: Adobe: Adobe Illustrator CS6: Presets: en_US: Scripts
Then you find it in Illustrator under File: Scripts
// script.name = makeAiFilesPDFcompatible.jsx;
// script.description = opens and resaves Ai files with PDF compatibility checked (Folder Batch);
// script.requirements = none
// script.parent = CarlosCanto // 06/4/2013;
// script.elegant = false;

Bridge CS6 bad preview after adjustment in Adobe Camera Raw 7.0

Hi,
when i update camera raw from 6.5 to 6.6 the preview can`t give me right preview only after 1 or more adjustments in adobe camera raw (yes, "Always High Quality"and "Generate Preview-Size Previews").
Image apears and stays like when we open it in camera raw in the first few seconds with the yellow exclamation mark.
Months ago the only solution i found after several reinstals of phoshop, was to turn back to camera raw 6.5.
Now im trying beta bridge cs6 and problem come back for me again.
I use Nikon D3x with 14 bits ~49MB .nef files with Windows 7 64 bits .
Is any one have same problem?And why only in 6.6 (and new camera raw 7.0) and not in 6.5?
Thanks

When I saved a image to my desktop and wanted to open in Preview so I could do some altra fast tweeks like add sepia and then resaved it came up that I didn't have aothourization to save changes. I then as suggested went to finder - get info - and unlocked the file and entered the desktop password when prompted and closed but it still won't save the changes. I don't want to change it to open as a PS file because it is a JPEG and takes allot of effort when preview cnages under tools color is so efficient. Other suggestions to try?

Bridge CS6 Audio preview slow

I'm using Adobe Bridge CS6 x64 and the audio previews have a delay before they begin to play, while the video previews don't. Is there a way I can speed things up and have the audio play almost the second I click? I'm running a decent PC here, 16GB ram, and it occurs on both a 7200rpm 1tb drive and on an ssd. Bridge x64 is using 70mb of ram while it runs. The cache has been purged from preferences.
I've seen this guy VIDEO COPILOT | After Effects Tutorials, Plug-ins and Stock Footage for Post Production Professionals (Click "Watch Demo," at about 2:38 it shows him using bridge) use bridge and get near instant audio playback upon selecting a file, so why am I getting a short delay before playback?

Adobe Bridge CS6 on Retina Display

I just installed Photoshop CS6 Extended on a Retina Macbook Pro and updated Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop with the latest updates. In Photoshop, everything looks crisp (including Camera Raw when opening it from Photoshop), but Bridge is still blurry. In addition, when opening Camera Raw from Bridge, everything is blurry. There are no updates available for Bridge/Photoshop/Camera Raw when I check for updates...any ideas on fixing this?
Adobe Bridge CS6 - 5.0.2.4
Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended 13.0.6 x64
Adobe Camera Raw 8.3.0.141

There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

Bridge CS4 - MP4 preview playback problem

In Bridge CS4 on Windows, the preview playback of MP4 files sometimes works and sometimes it does not. If not, Bridge shows only an icon in the preview pane and there is no preview start button.
I have sets of MP4 footage that work OK, but other sets can only partly be previewed. Another strange behavior of Bridge is that in some cases after changing the file's name, the program suddenly does not show the preview anymore.
Is there anyone else having the same problems?
Arman

Read this thread, especially post #19 and see if it solves your problem. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652660?tstart=0
All MPEG files are not the same so just becasue one play does not mean they all play.
If changed files do not show up purge the cache (tools/cache/purge cache) and let it rebuild.

Bridge cs6 won't display .flv thumbnails??

any suggestions? It appears adobe doesn't offer any help...

How much homework have you done on this issue to narrow down the problem? Perhaps using one of the older formats? Perhaps the header is causing problems with generating a thumbnail?
Here are some excerpts from flv open source website http://osflash.org/flv. Hope they are relevant.
It is possible to place H.264 and AAC streams into the traditional FLV file, but Adobe strongly encourages everyone to embrace the new standard file format. There are functional limits with the FLV structure when streaming H.264 which couldn't be overcome without a redesign of the file format. This is one of the reasons Adobe is moving away from the traditional FLV file structure. Specifically dealing with sequence headers and enders is tricky with FLV streams. Adobe is still working out if it's possible to place On2 VP6 streams into the new file format.
Video needs to be in H.264 format only. MPEG-4 Part 2 (Xvid, DivX etc.) video is not supported, H.263 video is not supported, Sorenson Video is not supported. A lot of pod casts are still using MPEG-4 Part 2 so do not be surprised if you do not see any video.

Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working - has issue been resolved?

Hello.
I am experiencing the above problem with a new install of CS6.
Has this issue been resolved?
CS6 Design and Web Premium installed on Win 7 pro 64 bit Dell Precision laptop. Error with Adobe Bridge cs6: "Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working", problem event name "APPCRASH". Error occurs when opening Bridge from Photoshop and other apps (Browse in Bridge) and directly from desktop or start menu. Also a cache directory is not being created under c:\user\<user>\appdata\roaming\adobe\bridge\. Holding ctrl key down and double clicking icon gets same message, cannot get at reset window.
Performed the following with no change: verified Bridge and full suite is on latest version (Bridge=5.0.2.4); created desktop icon directly from bridge.exe; verified application was installed and is starting with administrator privileges; verified latest display driver installed; performed complete uninstall of CS6, CC cleaner tool run, then full reinstall; Error under Event Viewer: faulting application: Bridge.exe and faulting module name: ntdll.dll; disabled UAC; tested memory for damage using MemTest86-good.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

A follow up to the above.
There appears to be a number of possible causes for this type of error. In my case it was somewhat specific. I had a stand alone copy on this same machine previously of Adobe Photoshop CS2 (only) which was completely uninstalled prior to the installation of CS6. There is an issue with Bridge CS6 being installed on a machine that has Bridge CS2 on it. I wasn't aware of Bridge being present with my copy of Photoshop CS2 but apparently there were at least some components of Bridge CS2 left after the uninstall. The workaround that solved the issue for me was the creation of an empty folder:
C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS2
For those of you who may have this situation.
Here is where I found the solution (sixth thread down):

Recurring and repeatable problem where Bridge would send OSX into the "spinning wheel" and lockup the entire system. The only way out was to force a hard reset via button and reboot. It appeared as though the problem occured when I tried to create a new folder so I concluded that it might be a problem with the interaction with Bridge and the underlying File System. Tried: 1) upgrading to latest version of Bridge 2) upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion. Problem persisted.
After numerous attempts, I discovered that the problem was only repeatable in a certain directory. The directory was from a photoshoot with a mixture of RAW and JPEG shots from a Nikon D7000 so the RAW files were .NEF format. I wondered if there was a problem with the .NEF files since I had just started using RAW. The camera produces both .NEF and .JPG and both get dumped in Bridge. Important: Even though I was able to see other directories with the same mix of files, Bridge kept complaining that there was an problem in the "cache" and that I needed to go to Properties->Cache->Purge Cache to "Purge all Thumbnails and Previews" -- which I did, but the problem persisted with this singular directory.
Next, I went to Finder to see if the folder/directory was readable there. Since there seemed to be a problem with the "Thumbnails and Previews" I put Finder in "columns" mode so it was forced to create a preview. I figured if there was a problem creating previews or thumbnails, a lower level render via Finder would be a good test. I went through all 200 files in the directory to see that the previews were created easily. Each preview popped up in under 1 sec. BUT, then I encountered a RAW .NEF file that took over a minute to render and finally showed up as a thumbnail instead of a preview. I concluded that the .NEF file was corrupt and deleted it AND the corresponding .JPG and the problem was solved. Bridge was able to browse (create thumbnail and previews in cache).
Note to Adobe Devs: Bridge needs to have much better recovery from situtations like this. There was clearly NO TIMEOUT on Bridge's efforts to render thumbnails and previews on the corrupted RAW file. Bridge should timeout and present a meaningful error.

"Target folder can not be created" and the pdf message: "There is insufficient disk space to complete this operation"
Assuming you do have enough disk space left (less then 10 % of total amount available for free space is bringing sooner rather then later in to trouble) and you also have sufficient amount of RAM (more then 4GB is strongly advised especially if you are running multiple applications) and also enough VRAM (CS6 needs at least 500MB but 1 GB will give you more benefit).
And also assuming you have run the Adobe Updater for latest Bridge (5.0.1.21) then the first thing I would try is a restart holding down option key and choose reset preferences and then try again.
Personally I don't use Web Gallery but I do use the Output Module almost daily for creating PDF contact sheets (have also multiple custom templates) and have no problem at all using it.
(only difference is I'm still at 10.7 while you moved to Mountain Lion)
Could you report back if this helped you, if not you have to also delete the bridge plist file from user library.

Bridge CS6 Trial and Bridge CS5

Hello
I have just installed Photoshop CS6 trial with Bridge CS6 and notice that as in Bridge CS5, in Bridge CS6, the previews of thumbnails do NOT show sharpening and NR applied in ACR7, even after purging the cache and setting monitor size preview. Is there any reason why? It means that if I run a slideshow, some of the editing in ACR does not appear in the views.
Surely the monitor size preview jpegs should reflect all work changes made in ACR.

I use Bridge CS5 with camera raw 6.7.1 in combibnation with a canon 6D and a canon 5D Mark2. The raw files from the 5D are shown in bridge, the raw files from the 6D are not. There is just an icon. The camera raw add-on is the latest usable update for Windows, the canon 6d is listed as compatible. Has anyone an idea what to do?
The Canon 6D id NOT supported by ACR 6.7.1. It was supported for the very first time in ACR 7.3 whch requires CS6 to run.
Therefore you will never be able to open raw CR2 files from the 6D directly in CS5.
If you do not plan on upgrading, you can download the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 (always use the latest version, it's not tied to your version of Photoshop at all), install it like any other application and then run it on each batch of CR2 files to convert them to raw DNG files that you can then open in your version of Photoshop and ACR.

Bridge CS6 Display Problem

When I set up Bridge, I used 3 columns. The left column contains the Files/Folders Panel with the Filters/Collections/Export Panels underneath. In the middle is the Content Panel which is set to display 1 thumbnail wide. To the right is the Preview Panel with the Metadata/Keywords underneath.
Everytime I close Bridge and reopen, the display shifts so that I get a larger Content Panel which now displays 2 or 3 rows of smaller thumbnails and correspondingly smaller Preview and Metadata/Keyword Panels. Is there a way to make the display settings remain as I want them whenever I open Bridge?
Thanks.

Sure, just make sure you SAVE the Workspace you create under a distinctive name. See the Help files to learn about saving a work space if you've never done it before.
You also need to make sure you quit (exit) Bridge in an orderly fashion after recreating and saving your workspace, because Preferences are saved whenever Bridge quits normally, not when it crashes or you force quit it.
