Bridge showing XMP DS.Store files

For some reason Bridge CS4 is showing XMP and DS.Store files.
If I rate an image the XMP file immediately appears below the image in the Content pane. This really gets in the way of proper work flow. If there is 500 images in a folder and each image has an XMP file you have to navigate through an additional 500 files when using Bridge.
I am working on a machine that is running Mac OX X.5 Server.
Any help much appreciated.

On top of your screen when you have Bridge at front and running.
From left of: Adobe Bridge / file / edit and then View. Click on it and see
if a checkmark is put in front of 'show hidden files'
Where do I find the menu view options?

  • Bridge CS5 "twists" 50D RAW files

    CS5, Win7.
    Canon 50D CR2 files are twisted in the frame & open in ACR & Ps like that. It just started yesterday. 7D & 40F CR2s are normal.
    I purged the folders & did a complete CS5 reinstall.
    The same files are normal in DPP & DXO.
    here is a sample.
    http://i.pbase.com/o3/34/842234/1/125209495.12c9hPhw.50D_8249.jpg
    any ideas?

    Well I have a temp solution I can live with till
    I get this sorted out. I uninstalled CS5 (agai
    n) & ticked the "delete preferences" box
    .When I reinstalled bridge shows the 50
    d files as normal. When I updated to 6.1
    they twisted again. So I reinstalled yet a
    gain & will use ACR6.0 for the time being.
    I don't mind doing lens corrections manually.
    Funny thing I dont have this prob on my Vista laptop.
    Might be a Win7 issue?

  • How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

    How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

    Thank you! That was it. The option to change it is not available in preferences (though I believe it was in early CS versions). It's hidden in a dropdown menu associated with an icon at the top. It sure wasn't easy to find, and I probably would not have done so without your lead. Thanks again!

  • Cs6 bridge not showing thumbnails for raw file

    Just upgraded to CS6
    cs6 bridge not showing thumbnails for raw files.
    Can see thumbnails in CS5.1 bridge  and LR 4.2 which fortunately i did not uninstall.
    Bummer since I am up against a hard deadline.
    Really Sucks

    We can't know. You are not offering any system information or e.g. info about what image files you are working with. Since they do show up in your otehr programs, my assumption would be that you need to switch the Camera Raw engine back to the 2009/2010 version in Photoshop and not use the default new 2012 one. Perhaps your thumbnails will appear then....

  • Bridge CC is not showing Indesign CC 2014 file previews

    Bridge CC is not showing previews of InDesign CC 2014. I don't see an update for Bridge anywhere. What am I missing?

    Welcome to the forum,
    Not sure if it's the issue or if it will help, but you could try purging the cache, etc..
    http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/adobe-bridge-workspace.html
    Restore preferences
    Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
    Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
    Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.
    In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:
    Reset Preferences
    Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
    Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
    Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
    Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.
    If that does not help, you may try searching the Bridge forum or asking there.

  • Bridge shows always the same JPGs files crippled

    Hi together,
    since yesterday Bridge shows *some* JPGs in a destroyed preview (or no preview).
    Screenshot of the Bridge preview panel:
    The curiosity:
    I have deleted all the Bridge Cache (manually in "users/library/caches/...."), also the exported cache files in the affected folders.
    Then copied the affected files to another folder and renamed them all, hope that Bridge "forged" some preferences I might have not deleted.
    I started Bridge new with Option-key and reseted all preferences and all "Caches".
    Result: => No affect: The previews are generated new in the same wrong kind as before. For some JPEG-files there are no preview rendered.
    Of course these files are all correct, I can open it in Photoshop or in Mac Preview – but in the Camera Raw Window the files are show destroyed.
    It drives me crazy because all other folders are not affected – and also no RAW-files are affected, so the ACR seem correct working.
    Searching in the web brought no results for me in this special case.
    Perhaps anyone of you have a clue?
    Thanks in advance!
    Juergen

    What you show is NOT the Bridge Preview Panel but the Bridge CONTENT panel.
    I'm flying blind here because you have provided no details.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

  • Mini bridge - show open files?

    when bridge was first born as file browser, and integrated into PS did it have the ability of displaying the open files in PS? 
    I'm "kinda" hoping that a bunch of people are going to jump all over this conversation and say... of course it can do it now!
    I'm very old-school and don't like the tabbed windows interface, I'm generally tossing layers around and windows are easier for me, but.... I could see that this would have some use if I was using a smaller display and if I could also use mini bridge to show thumbnails of the open files and use this to switch tabbed images. Or, if I could drag layers onto the thumbnail in Mini Bridge and subsequently bring that tabbed image to front.

    I needed to set the file type association in preferences.

  • "show in itunes store" command missing from video library

    updated to itunes 11.1, and ios7.
    This isn't a pro or con diatribe, just a list of the minorish bugs that i have noticed:
    First (probable?) bug:
    With the latest update, the (control click) "show in itunes store" command is missing from all video layouts (unwatched, shows, genres) except "list".
    I assume this is just a temporary bug, as it limits easy access to purchasable store content.
    This is especially important since "check for available downloads", while still around, has been, as far as i can tell, completely nonfunctional for months.
    I now have all my email notifications for passes turned on, and just manually click on the emails to download new content.
    However, especially for shows with extra content, sometimes the email doesn't download the actual show, just the extra content.
    for this reason, and for non pass shows, and just for general shopping and impulse buys, I liked to use the "show in itunes store" to easily check shows that i am currently interested in.
    except that now it is gone.
    Another (probable) bug:
    I have a lot of purchased content, so i have the cloud turned off to control the flow of menu information.  i don't need to see everything i have purchased all the time, only the newest shows that i actually have loaded onto the ipad.  I still just load in the shows i want to watch from my main computer after i have downloaded them from apple to the hard drive, which i guess is now a bit old fashioned.  ios7 doesn't seem to like this very much, as it initially displays the cloud content when opening the "video" app, before blanking and replacing it with the edited down version. But the real bug is this:
    Now when i delete a video on the ipad, it crashes the "video" app.
    And, instead of recognizing the delete when i sync to the computer, it ignores it and reloads the video onto the ipad.
    ......And finally:
    There is still a tendency for the ipad and itunes to throw up the "sign in" pop up, often multiple times in a row, anywhere and for no reason, even when i am already signed in. Sometimes i can just hit "cancel" and it disappears, other times it forces me to retype my password.  It's gotten a lot better and less frequent than when it first started earlier this year, but it's still around. 
    Having said this, I'm still, of course, a huge fan of the change earlier this year that keeps track of purchases and allows me redownload, instead of the old "lose it and its gone, tough luck" policy. 

    Ha.  Maybe it's just me then.  When i control click on a show, i'm getting:
    In Library/TV Shows:  Unwatched, Shows, and Genres:
    play "[show]"
    mark as watched
    mark as unwatched
    [depending on blue dot]
    get info
    rating
    show description
    show in finder
    reset plays
    show in playlist
    copy
    as opposed to, in List (and everywhere else):
    play "[show]"
    mark as watched
    mark as unwatched
    [depending on blue dot]
    get info
    rating
    show description
    show in finder
    show in itunes store
    get album artwork
    reset plays
    consolidate files
    new playlist from selection
    add to playlist
    show in playlist
    copy
    delete
    uncheck selection
    apply sort field
    I have my sidebar turned on, but it doesn't seem to make a difference if it is showing or not.
    I looked around in settings, view, and window for a way to modify the control click menu, but couldn't find anything.
    It's a very minor issue.
    If your menu is working, maybe I just need to delete my copy of itunes and reinstall.  Or change a setting somewhere.

  • Using Time Capsule to store Files

    Can I partition Time Capsule to use like a hardrive to store files such as photos and media, or does Time Capsule just function as a backup drive?

    How would I go about this?
    Once the connection to the Time Capsule is established, look for its icon in the My Computer window and use it as if it was a regular drive. You may need to use the AirPort software for it to show up; this is in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder.

  • Adobe bridge crashes when saving illustrator files

    Hi there,
    We are developing custom connector using Adobe Drive SDK for our DAM system, the integration with CS was working fine, we recently updated Adobe Drive to 4.2, and we are encountering bridge crashes when saving illustrator file. It didn't happen with older version(4.0.2) of Adobe Drive, not sure why. I pin point the part that causing the issue: in our custom connector, we have READ_XMP_METADATA capability which we need to display the thumbnails and previews, and in the ftp sample connector, this capablity is not included originally, so the issue does not happen, but if I add this capabilty, the crash issue happens as well. If we exclude this capablity from our connector, this crash issue doesn't happen.
    We noticed this only happens when saving illustrator file, not photoshop or indesign, and it seems that only in illustrator, when save, and the bridge has the current file folder showing, we are seeing there are twice folder refreshes, and usually it will crash after the second time. In photoshop and indesign, we don't see folder refreshes. If switch to other folder, the crash won't happen. We tested on both windows and Mac, on Mac, this seems happen less often. Another thing we noticed is in debug mode, or we have many debug logging turned on, the crash happens less often, if it is deployed with no debug logging, the crash happens almost everytime. So we are guessing it might be some synchronization problem. 
    Could you please advice what's the cause of this issue?
    Thanks,
    Katherine

    Has it ever worked?
    What kind of files are they and where do you save them?
    Is a printer connected, set up and turned ON?
    Have you already tried resetting the preferences?
    Generally it's not a good idea to just save old files, because then some artwork may be automatically flattened. Illustrator will save the file to the old version file-format and if you used new features in-between, those cannot stay live in the old version file format.

  • Bridge CS4 not recognizing tiff files

    I downloaded an update for camera raw and installed in manually and after this I couldn't open Photoshop.  I then uninstalled and reinstalled CS4 and now bridge will show thumbnails of tiff files but won't open large.  All I see is a generic icon.  How do I get bridge to recognize tiff files.  It recognizes jpgs, and raw files.  I'm using Windows Vista.
    Any help appreciated
    Suzan

    All Raw files are reconnized as all jpgs.  I have my Bridge set up as a film strip with smal thumbnails and if I click on one thumbnail it opens large in preview area.  I can click on a Raw thumbnail and it will display a larger view in bridge then I can open in Camera Raw for preliminary editing.  I cannot do this with tiff files.  I can see them as thumbnails but when I click on them bridge doesn't display a larger image (only a small icon) nor am I given the option of opening in Camera Raw.  I can double click and photoshp regular will open or I can go up to file open with and go to photoshop regular but Bridge willnot allow me to view a larger than thumbnail size pic nor will it give me the option of opening in Camera Raw.  My camera raw preferences are set to "open both jpgs and tiff files with settings".
    Thanks Suzan
    I purged the cashe from one file and it affected all files(all almost 500 gigs).  I'd been working on this for hours.  Thank you and God Bless.

  • Bridge CS4 Preview of NEF Files Doesn't Update

    Somewhere along the line, this stopped working for me. I can click on a thumbnail in Bridge CS4 to edit the file in Camera Raw. After editing, the thumbnail in Bridge has that little icon with two triangles in the upper right showing that the file has been edited. However, the thumbnail does not update to show the edited version. It still looks as if unedited. How do I fix this? The ORF files from my Olympus camera update okay, so it seems to be an issue specifically with NEF. I am fully updated to Photoshop 11.0.1 and Camera Raw 5.6. Windows XP, Nikon D200.

    Thank you! That was it. The option to change it is not available in preferences (though I believe it was in early CS versions). It's hidden in a dropdown menu associated with an icon at the top. It sure wasn't easy to find, and I probably would not have done so without your lead. Thanks again!

  • Open/file in CS6 only shows the blue psd file.  I want to see what it looks like if open.

    Open/file in CS6 only shows the blue psd file.  I want to see what it looks like if open.
    I posted this earlier, but now I can't find it in the forum?

    You could use Bridge, or depending on your operating system, use one of the codec packs that let you view PSD thumbnails in Windows Explorer.  (I don't know OSX)
    This seems like a popular choice for Windows 7

    Personally, I just use Bridge, but I can see how an app like Sage Thumbs would be useful

  • What is this .DS Store file and why does it keep coming back?

    So a few weeks ago I noticed this .ds store hidden file showing up on my desktop of my MacBook Pro, I deleted it, so it's over with right? WRONG!!! Could not have been more wrong. This file now shows up in every single folder I open on my computer. I've deleted it form the same folder numerous times only for it to reappear again and again and again. It's even showing up on my USB Flash Drives. I've reached a point where I'd rather throw this computer out the window then have to keep dealing with this insufferable file. Can someone please explain to me what the heck is going on? And more importanly on I can actually fix this problem so I DO NOT have to deal with it anymore? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Side Note: I have already used a bunch of different programs and none have yet to work. Everyone keeps recommending TinkerTools and it doesn't do squat.

    This will explain the .ds store file. As you've found out there's one for every file. If you don't want to see those hidden files, don't display hidden files.
    To make hidden file hidden, bring up terminal, enter "defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO" (don't type the quote marks), then force quit finder and relaunch it. If that doesn't work, change NO to FALSE.
