Bridge photoshop batch problem

Hi there,
After upgrading to Photoshop CS4 from CS3 (new install), I am having a problem with running Photoshop batch from bridge.
I have actions that work fine when run from Photoshop but fail when run from bridge.
I don't seem to be able to run any Photoshop actions from bridge without a failure.
The error messages include:
"JavaScript code was missing"
"The command 'Pixel Genius PhotoKit Capture Sharpener Expert' is not currently available"
As well as other seemingly random "the command .... is not currently available".
I am running Vista 64 bit.
If anyone has any ideas - I would appreciate them.
Thanks,
Richard.

Hi there again,
An update to this problem.
The problem appears to be with Bridge-Photoshop communication.
I select images in bridge, choose Tools->Photoshop->Batch. Photoshop opens and I select the Action to run and click OK. At this point, if Photoshop had no image already loaded then the Action fails because there is no image, ie. the selected images from Bridge are not opened in Photoshop. The error messages are consistent with having no image loaded to run the various action tasks on.
If Photoshop already had an image loaded, then it proceeds to run the Action, once for the number of images I first selected in Bridge, but on the image that was already loaded - not on the images selected in Bridge.
I have deinstalled and reinstalled Photoshop and all its updates with no change. Any ideas at all would be appreciated.
BTW Image Processor works ok when invoked from Bridge.
Tks,
Richard.

Bridge batch to Photoshop CS4 error from subfolder

Hello
I used to launch Photoshop scripts from Bridge CS2 using the "tools->photoshop->batch" menu. Now that I upgraded to CS4, I have an error message: "a general photoshop error appeared. This function may not be available in this Photoshop version".
But what is strange, is thas this error only appears when I work on pictures located in a subfolder of my second hard disc drived, called "data HDD". It works good from my system HDD, and from the root of my data HDD...
I tried to refresh Bridge preferences, nothing better.
I try to launch the scripts on the same pictures from an other computer through network, it works good...
Anyone has a solution?
Thanks,

What comes to mind is to use Apple Disk utility on this partition to check
and repair permissions and maybe run an app like Disk Warrior to clean up
the disk. If this is not working then try using Finder to create a brand new
folder and subfolders on this drive and still in Finder move the files with
drag and drop to those new folders. Let Bridge cache them again and try if
this works.
You might want to try it first with one folder and a few files if you have a
great number of files on this disk
My "data HDD" is a partition of an internal drive.

Problem with Bridge CS5 and Tools Photoshop Batch

When I select several images in Bridge CS5 and go to Tool>Photoshop>Batch and try an run an Action, I receive an error message asking for the Install disk. Bridge at that point freezes until I put in the install disk and then it runs the batch action fine.
This is very annoying as I always have to have the disk in my DVD Drive.
Any points would be welcomed.
Thanks,

Go to preferences/startup scripts and make sure there is a check mark for Bridge and Photoshop scripts.

Bridge/photoshop CC or CS6 won't batch

Hi there, I have j=had this problem on my mac book pro since CS6, I have now installed CC hoping it would sort it but its the same, If I use bridge to batch a set of photos I get the following error.
FatalError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop.
any ideas please ?
Thanks Jules

Thank you :-)
Ok after having a little play I can batch photos using the photoshop "automate-batch" process but it wont work using bridge.
I am trying to do a bactch and run an action using jpg images
Odd that it works using photoshop directly but not bridge
So I assume somewhere I have an issue with bridge

Bridge CC Tools - Photoshop - Batch does not work in Photoshop CC 2014.

in Bridge CC Tools - Photoshop - Batch does not work in Photoshop CC 2014. At first I didn't even see the option but I reinstalled Photoshop CC and now I see the menu option but when I try it there is a message that I need to use Photoshop CC. So I open Photoshop CC and the same thing happens? I can't seem to make it work.

Bridge menu item tools photoshop batch is not present in CS4

I recently installed CS4 on an iMac running OS 10.5.7. I have a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, with 4 GB of ram. The hard drive is 1 Terrabyte.
In CS3 I could invoke my photoshop actions from bridge. No such luck here. I'm finding references to tools>photoshop>batch, but am at a loss as to why I don't see this option in my copy of Bridge.
Online help isn't helping or I'm not using the correct search criteria. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I've attached a screen grab of the menu list.

No Batch menu in Bridge (Photoshop CS6)

I've installed and reinstalled Photoshop CS6 and but continue to have no Photoshop/Batch menu in Bridge as I did in CS5.
Windows 7. CS6 is an upgrade. I've been living with it as I see a lot of others have the same problem with no answer that I can find.
Is there a solution???
Thanks,

I'm having the reverse problem. CS6 Bridge sees all the stuff under Tools/photoshop:
But CS5 Bridge does not. So looking into it a bit I see the scripts directory here:
c:/Users/harry/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Bridge CS5\Startup Scripts
Is empty.
Preferences/Startup Scripts shows:
[X] Adobe After effects CS5
[X] Adobe Bridge CS5
[X] Adobe Device Central CS5
[X] Adobe Output Module
And there appears to be no way (In that dialog screen) to add any
===================================================
However here:
c:/Users/harry/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Bridge CS6
There is nothing under the directory:
c:/Users/harry/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Bridge CS6\Startup Scripts\
and yet CS6 apparently sees scripts somewhere since it has a fair number of entries at Tools/photoshop, including the Batch image processor.
At at Preferences/Startup Scripts there is an extensive list of scripts listed.
Is there a way to make CS5 bridge See the scirpts for Photoshop CS6? Or at least to send a selected bunch of files to PS CS6 Image processor?

Photoshop- Batch tool missing in Bridge?

My Photoshop-> Batch is missing from the bridge tools menu? And when I go into Photoshop to automate->Batch I can't choose Bridge as a source. It is there, but it is not in bold(i.e.cannot be selected.)
I have checked my Bridge->Preferences-> Start up script, and all Photoshop options are checked there. I have also tried enabling them agin, and then restarting Bridge, and resetting Bridge Preferences, still nothing. I also tried to delete plist files in my library- I just deleted the bridge one- but I'm not sure what that really does, in any case, it didn't work.
I used to work. Any suggestions??

In that case, something is wrong with your install. Only thing I can offer is to do an uninstall and a fresh install.

I'm trying to open the CR2 files in Bridge to adjust them before I open them up in Photoshop, but it's giving me an error code saying it's the wrong file type.

Bridge CS6 Photoshop Batch tool to open Photoshop CC

I have both CS6 and CC installed
I'm having the issue in Bridge CS6 that when I want to do a batch function through Tool > Photoshop > Batch this opens Photoshop CS6 and not Photoshop CC which i'd prefer it open. Is there any way to set this.
The question of me will be why I don't use Bridge CC. Unfortunately I am locked into having to use InDesign CS6 for my work and use a shortcut to reveal images in Bridge (which will only reveal on Bridge CS6), hence why I'm then forced to use Bridge 6 over Bridge CC....
So I suppose if I worked out the indesign issue i twould be ok, but I have a feeling i'll have more luck with a solution for Bridge opening a version of photoshop than solving the indesign issue.
Thanks.

Okay... but I'm using Bridge CC and when I use Tools> Photoshop > Batch it opens the files in Photoshop CS6.
How do I get Bridge CC to open images in Photoshop CC?
(Both versions of Photoshop are loaded on my computer.)

PS/Bridge CS5 Batch Processor Not Working / Missing Scripts

I'm having a bit of a problem within Photoshop/Bridge CS5 and haven't found anything that works to resolve it.
In Bridge, I want to launch the Photoshop Batch Processor via Tools>Photoshop>Batch.
When I select this, Photoshop launches, but the dialog to process the images never shows. On occasion, if I return to Bridge and attempt the same operation again, I'll get a notification that there's already something in progress and asks if I want to queue this operation. The other times (majority) I can return to Bridge and attempt the operation again but get no dialogues in Photoshop. I can try the other options in this menu as well (eg Image Processor, etc) and get the same results.
Here's what I've done so far:
1. Checked Bridge Edit>Preferences>Startup Scripts and ensured those were all checked. I even disabled all, closed Bridge and Photoshop, then re-enabled.
2. Cleared all Preferences from Bridge and Photoshop (using Ctrl+Shift+Alt at launch).
3. Reinstalled Photoshop (multiple times)
4. Uninstalled Photoshop, ran the Adobe CS Cleaner application, then reinstalled Photoshop.
It should be noted that in Bridge>Edit>Preferences and Startup Scripts, if I click the button to 'Reveal my scripts' the folder it takes me to is blank. Not sure if this folder is solely used for personal/user created scripts or for others as well, but it's completely empty.
I have also gone to Help>Updates and updated both applications with any necessary updates from Adobe.
If I go into Photoshop and select File>Automate>Batch or even File>Scripts>Image Processor, both dialogues open fine.
Running Windows 8.1 Pro.
Anyone else seen this and actually resolve the issue? Does anyone know where the scripts are supposed to be located and/or if I can get them from somewhere else? Any help is much appreciated

Make sure Photoshop is not started and then try to use Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch does Photoshop start up?
Bridge CS5 menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch works on my Windows 7 Pro system
Photoshop Automate>Batch is not a script and Photoshop does not any external java program it had its own version of java plugin.
c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Extensions\ScriptingSupport.8li
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Extensions\ScriptingSupport.8li
However there are two startup scripts for the bridge involved Bridge and Photoshop You must have them for you have a Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>items
two scripts on my system are:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS5\Adobe Bridge\bridge-4.jsx
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS5\Adobe Photoshop\photoshop.jsx
The photoshop.jsx seems to be the one the the inserts the menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch into Bridge and also invokes Photosgop Automate>batch photoshop.jsx also inserts the other Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Menu Itens that you state work.
Here is what I see in my photoshop.jsx for batch. I do not know or understand Bridge scripting and do not know javsscript but what I see there seems to be some checking done about Photoshop being available and if it is not the script just returns which is what you seem to be experiencing the test looks like this

Hello, wck.org. As it happens, there's no such thing as "Adobe Photoshop CS6 Elements". Do you have Photoshop CS6? I would suggest that you would do better posting in the Bridge forum, since PSE isn't based on CS6 and doesn't include Bridge, so there aren't many people here who can help with problems with Bridge CS6:

Photoshop batch processing missing from menu

Hi everyone:
I'm having a terrible time today trying to process the 3500 images I've got. I set up an action to process them, but I can't figure out how to link them to be used through Bridge. I'm running Bridge CS5 with PS CS4, and I'm used to going to Tools->Photoshop->Batch. It's missing entirely from the menu.
I did a bunch of research and found that this issue likely has something to do with the Startup Scripts. So I checked those, and Photoshop is missing from the options. I can't find where that script right reside, as the folder the scripts are supposed to live in appears to be empty (I do have Adobe Bridge CS5 and InDesign CS5 as options, though the script folder itself is empty).
If it's a simple matter of installing the appropriate script, where might I find it? And if not, how can I solve the problem?

If it's a simple matter of installing the appropriate script, where might I
find it? And if not, how can I solve the problem?
By default they are installed in the library at root level ( Mac OS:
//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS4/Adobe Photoshop/)
but I have no experience with - nor would I recommend - the use of CS5
Bridge with PSCS4.
If you don't have installed PSCS5 for whatever reason your fastest way would
be to start Bridge CS4. Let the folder with the files cache first and use
that Bridge version with PSCS4 to perform your batch. BTW, you can save and
export the actions from PSCS4 as a set and import them again in PSCS5.
And of course you could also open the batch in PS itself like we used to do
in the past before Bridge. PS/File/Automate/Batch and choose the folder you
want to apply the batch in.
