Bridge CS6 not reading file metadata

Bridge CS6 5.0.2.4, Mac OS X 10.9.2, Photoshop 13.0.6 x64.
In Bridge, only the File Properties info appears. Data for other categories such as IPTC Core and Camera Data (Exif) no not appear although checked in Preferences, but after opening a file in Photoshop the info is all there in the File Info window. If I try to append or replace data using a template, the choice is grayed out. Keywords I have created in the past appear in the metadata window, but none are checked for saved files. Thumbnails are also very slow to build. Even reading old files from a CD in Bridge fails to show data like EXIF.
I've tried deleting and rebuilding the cache, trashing prefs, no help.
Maybe this is caused by a problem with OS X 10.9.2? I don't believe I had this problem before thatchange a few weeks ago.
Thanks for any help, Ross

For legacy files, which seem to be pre-2007, the metadata fields seem to be read-only, I can't enter or change a field such as description, for example. Even newer folders have spotty reliability, some files show metadata and others don't.
I restored my cache from a backup and that helped some, but didn't really solve the problem. Next I guess I'll try to restore my boot drive. The CS6 installation (not CC) was via a download, so I'm not sure how to reinstall that, and I don't want to lose all my customized windows, keywords, etc.

Bridge CS6 not displaying complete metadata

I have CS5 and am playing around with CS6. So far so good, impressed overall.
I like to have Bridge set up to display the Metadata for each image, and when I view the metadata, it is not as complete as what I see in the CS5 version of Bridge.
Specifically, I like to be able to see the Subject Distance, which is recorded for the camera/lens combination I'm using. In Bridge CS5, the Subject Distance displays just fine, but it is completely absent in CS6. I have confirmed this to be the case with my Canon 1D Mark IV, and my wife's Canon 7D.
Also, I like to see the ISO as well. In Bridge CS5, it shows nicely as "ISO Speed Ratings" while in Bridge CS6, it shows as "(ISO) Photographic Sensitivity" - kind of excessive. If I only check the "ISO Speed" - nothing shows up.
To verify this, I made sure *all* metadata options in the Preferences menu were selected to display, but despite this, the Subject Distance is not being displayed (and the ISO labeling is a bit wordy for my taste).
Also, I posted this in the PS General Forum, and received a reply from one user that for some of his old NEF files, Bridge in CS5 and CS6 displayed the subject distance properly, while for some newer NEF files, it showed in CS5, but not CS6.
I assume this is a bug, where Bridge is having trouble reading the metadata fields for different raw files, but I welcome any advice on how to get it to display Subject Distance, which is contained in the metadata. And hopefully pointing out this bug will lead to its getting fixed sometime down the road.
Thanks.

Curt,
I posted here, since it's a Bridge Function, not really Camera Raw. Bridge is where the metadata is being displayed, where the Preferences identify the particular metadata fields, etc.
And while I understand the need to do my share of sleuthing in tracking down a problem, to better define it, I think the cause here will be sporadic, rather than systemic. As you saw with your own files, some old NEF files displayed fine, newer ones didn't.
Some cameras store Subject Distance in the MakerNote fields, others don't. Some lenses provide the data for Subject Distance in cameras that do record this information, while others don't. So there is a myriad of factors involved here, and any additional sleuthing would just identify particular instances where Adobe's routines aren't correctly identifying and reading the MakerNote data.
I've identified 2 current cameras, which clearly demonstrate the problem. Adobe can examine their routines for these cameras and fix them. And if/when others come forward having discovered their cameras also show this problem, those can be corrected as well.
As I said, I think this is more likely to represent particular quirks in their routines as they're implemented for specific camera models, rather than a systemic, universal problem.
I spent a few hours looking for another program that will find that information, and was amazed to see how difficult it is. Even Canon's own Digital Photo Professional does not provide Subject Distance, which shocked me. I tried PIE, Opanda, iEXIF, Irfan, Faststone, and a few others - none of them correctly found/displayed Subject Distance.
The only one I found was ExifTool, using the mod with the GUI. This displays it in the "MakerNotes" fields, and interestingly shows 2 data points: FocusDistanceUpper and FocusDistanceLower, both in meters. The single datum displayed by CS5 Bridge is inbetween these 2 values - not quite the mean, but close. And as documented above, CS6 Bridge displays none of these.

Bridge CS6 Mac XMP File Info Panel Bug: can't copy and paste metadata

The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the xmp file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
This bug only appears in the xmp file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6 copy and paste from one field to another works.
The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.

Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.

Camera Raw w Nikon D810-PS6 not reading files

Recently purchased Nikon D810, my PS6 not reading files. Tried downloading Adobe DNG Converter (8.6) as a work around, (but doesn't that reduce your original NEF file to about half?) and that didn't seem to work...Then I tried downloading the PS CC, (which I really didn't want to to do bc I just recently purchased PS 6, but I can't seem to get through the credit card screen... What am I doing wrong and once I do get the subscription, is PS CC now up to speed with these new RAW files for the Nikon?
I am so frustrated
Thanks
K

Which operating system are you using?
Photoshop cs6 should be able to open the Nikon D810 files.
If in photoshop cs6 you go to Help>About Plug-In (windows) or Photoshop>About Plug-In (mac) and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get camera raw 8.6?
Also, how are you transferring the nikon nef files to your computer?
I ask because older versions of nikon transfer can corrupt the nef files in such a way that the photoshop camera raw plugin will not open them.

Read file metadata

Is there a way to read file metadata in LabVIEW? If I was looking at an executable and wanted to retrieve the version number (that shows up when you look at the file's properties in windows), how would I do it in LabVIEW?

FtpAdapter not reading files consistently

The wsdl configurations and oc4j-ra.xml is given below. Is there any configurations to be done for clustered environment? There are 2 run time instances trying to read files from same directory in the same ftps server.

The fact that two instances are reading the same directory doesn't look that good to me. In parallel, the DB Adapter, polling for new records must not have two instances polling for the same table! Another issue could be problems on the FTP server itself. FTP connections are in Passive mode. It could be that the FTP server runs into portnumbers that are blocked in the firewall. This can be read from FTP logging on the FTP server itself.

Core id 7.0.4 accessManager web gate "Could not read file globalparams.lst"

Hi All,
I have been observing the webgate installed on a webserver giving me a warning "Could not read file filename E:\Apps\NetPoint\Webgate\access//oblix/apps/common/bin/globalparams.lst".
It generally happens early in the morning, probably it happens after a server re-cycle.
I am just wondering what could be the reason for it.
Is there any significance of double forward slash (//oblix/) in the path given?
Any help will be appreciated..
Env:
Coreid 7.0.4 access manager
thanks,

Check with support or check the metalink bug database - I'm sure this is a bug and you can ignore the message, but you should verify.

Is there a solution to Adobe Bridge CS6 not being able to read raw files from the 5D Mk lll

I like to use Bridge as my overall file organizer. I operate on a Mac version OSX version 10.8.3 and cannot read my raw files in bridge cs6. Does anyone have a solution for this.
Also is Canon putting any pressure on Adobe to fix this?

Not bridge but camera raw. You'll need to update your camera RAW.
You can either do it directly in Photoshop, or you can download it here: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html
At the bottom, there is a link to download Camera Raw 7.4 for Mac and WIndows. Adobe hides there link from their main site to force people to update via Photoshop update feature.

Bridge CS6 not generating correct thumbnails for RAW files

I'm running Bridge CS6 (the latest version, 5.0.2.4) on a 2013 MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.1) and suddenly as of today Bridge is no longer updating the thumbnails for my RAW files. All other image and video file formats are having thumbnails generated but not my Nikon NEF raw files including those which I have previously worked on in ACR. I have tried purging the entire cache, restarting Bridge and even rebooting my computer and still the raw thumbnails are not being generated.
Any advice would be appreciated thank you.
Eric
Actually I've just noticed that thumbnails for jpegs are not being generated either. A thumbnail is only generated if I work on a file in Photoshop and then save it.

Check you cache disk free space. You should have at least 15%. For a 700g drive that that 100g free.
Have you reset preferences? Hold down option key and start bridge. You will get a reset window.

Why is My MetaData Window of Bridge CS6 Displaying Incorrect File info?

The File Properties tab in the MetaData Window of Bridge CS6 is saying that my file is 72 ppi but when I open my file in PS it is actually 300 ppi 15x10 inches. See screen grab below. I understand that 72 ppi at 125" x 41.7" is the same as a 300 ppi file that is 30" x 10" or 9000 x 3000 pixels dimensions. But why is bridge making this conversion and displaying the file resolution as being 72 ppi when the file is 300 ppi? Is there a preference setting somewhere that I need to change?
When I look at these same files from another networked machine using Bridge CS6 the Metadata window is showing the files as being 300 ppi? Is there a setting inside Bridge somewhere that is making it show all files in the Metadata window as being based upon a 72 ppi resolution?

jonnymo,
I believe I should have said Yosemite/Column view.
Has the issue appeared after an upgrade to Yosemite?

Bridge CS6- Thumbnails gone and metadata too!

Hi everyone.
I am in panic mode.
I am running Bridge CS6 (5.0.2.4) And PS CS6. I recently updated something Can't remember if it was DNG and/or Camera Raw.
My problem started today when i went to view a folder of DNG images in Bridge. Initially the thumbnails of the images showed up, but then one by one, the thumbnails turned into the Adobe DNG icon. This is happening with tiff files too.
I went to Tools>Cache>Purge Cahe for Folder... That did not help. I simply can not re-generate the thumbnails.
I've also noticed that when I click on almost any image, my metadata does not show up in the Meta Data Panel in Bridge.
Another odd thing is all my images are keyworded. I used to be able to click on an image, and see in the Keyword Panel the keywords I chose for that image. That is no longer the case, however when I open that image in Photoshop CS6 and get file info, I see that my keywords and Metadata is there!
And the very last weird thing: If I go to the Bridge menu>Camera raw preferences, nothing happens. I used to be able to set my TIFF and JPEG handling options there.
This happened as I was finishing archiving about 20,000 images so you'll understand that I am a little bit more than upset....
Your help would be most appreciated.
Jonathan

After reading a few things online I decided to try re-installing the DNG/CR Update 8.4.0. That did not help.
I then decided to delete the ACR cache files, the Adobe Bridge 256, 1024, and Full cache folders, since there were tens of thousands of them.
I realize that Bridge might have to rebuild and it would take a while, but was wondering if something got corrupted there.
(I hope this wasn't a mistake).
I relaunched bridge, and as expected, none of my images have thumbnails, but I also see no way to re-generate those!
BTW- All this has happened with my back-up of this archive on a seperate HD.
I am unable to get the CR preference window to show in Bridge but I am able to acces the prefs from within PS CS6!
Going crazy!

Bridge CS6 not starring properly anymore

Running Mavericks 10.9.2
Apple pushed out a camera raw update and ever since, Bridge CS6 has not been the same.
If I open a set of rated .CR2 raws into BR the stars don't carry over unless I manually select and apply the stars in Camera Raw.
And when I batch-save said files, the stars don't get applied to the JPEGs.
Lastly, in some albums, previously starred RAW photos no longer have their stars. But the JPEG's do
It's really weird.
I've reset the workspace, but that didn't help.
I have 2000 photos to process and I rely on those stars to sort the photos for publishing.
Please advise.

I'm on ACR 8.4...
But that's when all the problems started, I tried to launch a set of photos I had starred and Bridge crashed... it's never been the same since.
