Bridge & Version Cue

Hi,
i want to script some actions for the adobe bridge connected to our version cue server.
My first try was to create some folders. I`m only able to create the folders locally on the host with the "new Folder" method.
Any ideas?

To be more concrete we want to script typical actions done by
users via adobe bridge for automatic testing.
But instead of using folders on the local file system we want the
actions to operate on a version cue server.
So we would like to
- create/delete projects
- create/delete folders
- import and operate on files
We are able to write javascript (extendscript) scripts to browse the version cue hierarchy but
couldn't find any functions to script the above.
Did we miss something?
We have the impression that we have to execute the folder/file operations on the local copy
first and have to synchronize before and after our operations but we could not find any hints
in the bridge javascript documentation.
Man thanks in advance

Version Cue CS3 and PSE 4 with Adobe Bridge

will Version Cue on CS3 work with PSE4 and Adobe Bridge and if possible, please direct me to "how to set it up." Desperate to exchange .psd files with another user in another town.

I have no answers to Jon's questions - Iam interested in the answers, too!
... and I have another question, which might fit into this topic:
I own CS 4 (DP & PP) for Mac and want to install the version cue server on a PC(-Server).
Do I really have to buy a PC-Version of the suite to get that done?
The Tutorial says its possible and legal to install the version cue server on a different computer, which is quite logical.
But does it really need to be the same OS? I searched all the DVD's but did not find any-PC-thing at all ...
Thanks in advance for any (reasonable) answer(s).

Bridge CS3 Version Cue Folder ICONS Incorrect (Windows 7)

Hello,
After updating to Windows 7 Premium 64-bit, the folder icons that appear in Bridge CS3 when browsing a Version Cue Server appear as little hard-drives with a windows icon. (We use Bridge CS3 to avoid using the notorious "Adobe Drive CS4".)
We could live with these new icons and pretend that they're folders, but does anyone know of a hack or the registry location to flip these icons back to a folder icon?
Thanks,
JP

Hi Curt,
I just tried it and it didn't work. My issue isn't with the Adobe icons or thumbnails of the actual files, just with the icons that are shown for the sub-folders.
thanks,
JP

CS3 Version Cue not loading in Bridge

I'm trying to access a version cue server in bridge, but there is no button to access version cue in bridge. i know there is supposed to be a button in the favorites panel, but its not there, and there is no way to 'check it' in preferences. its checked under the startup scripts panel in preferences.
version cue server is started and running, its in my task manager as well as my taskbar.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling bridge and version cue several times, and that hasn't fixed the problem. I've tried unchecking version cue and sdkloader, then restarting bridge, then rechecking them, restarting bridge, to no avail. there is nothing in my inspector panel, nor in the inspector panel preferences. i even tried reinstalling all of CS3, that didn't help. but - i had the reinstaller save my preferences, b/c im apprehensive to lose all my custom workspace settings. i tried resetting the preferences in bridge with 'alt-ctrl' on load, didn't help.
any ideas would be great. if i can avoid completely removing CS3 (my preferences mainly) i would appreciate it.

You should see Version Cue under menu Edit => Preferences => and then select the General category. Version Cue should be the top left checkbox in Favorite Items at the bottom of the General category.
If you don't see Version Cue listed there, start the Version Cue server, and then start Bridge and try the above again. An easy way to start the server (provided that it has been started before, and is thus installed as a service) is to type the following at the Windows Command prompt:
net start "Adobe Version Cue CS3"
NOTE: You must include the quotes as shown immediately above.

Version Cue cs4 is not visible in Bridge CS4

I have installed Adobe Master collection CS4 including VC server. The VC is not visible in Bridge. When I try to contact the server with Drive I stil can't see server. I can see a shared drive with the various projects, but it is not possible to see the various versions of my files, like I used to in Bridge CS3.
In preferences -> scripts there is no script for Version Cue. In Tools there is no item for version Cue. What is missing or has gone wrong with installation.
Please help.
Erwin.

Very few people use Version Cue, so no reply means "we got nothing".

No high quality previews in Bridge under Version Cue

I posted this in the 'Bridge' forum but didn't get any responses... thinking maybe someone here might be able to help?
I've started to work with Version Cue, which seems like a useful idea.
However, within Bridge, when I preview a PSD file it shows a pixelated, low-res version. I have set the preferences to display "high quality previews" and purged the cache, restarted, etc. The previews for non-Version Cue files are fine.
For Illustrator files under Version Cue, the previews stay small - i.e. the same size as the thumbnails.
I really need to be able to view HQ previews in order to continue using Version Cue - anyone know how to make that happen?

I was quite calm.
I've previously posted messages here and always had them answered within an hour or so, so that's why I wasn't sure if I'd posted in the correct forum. It's not that I expect "you" to answer me more quickly. Obviously this question falls between several different products, so I thought maybe I should have found a 'Version Cue' forum or something.
Sorry, I should have provided version details:
Bridge version 2.1.1.9
Version Cue version 3.1.0
Running on OSX 10.5.4
It seems to me that one of the main uses of Bridge is to be able to use high quality previews to look through alternate designs. So if this doesn't work with Version Cue, which is all about controlling different versions of designs, that seems unfortunate.

Connecting to Version Cue CS4 via Bridge?

This is the set up;
Windows 2008 Server: Running Version Cue CS4, no other software related to adobe products is installed, other than Version Cue, and any assets necessary for Version Cue to run.
Client Work Stations running Windows 7 Ultimate, with Photoshop CS4 and After Effects CS4 Installed.
When the clients open their bridge applications there is no visible way for them to connect to the bridge, located on the server, which is on the same network via the same router.
If you run Version Cue directly off of the same system you're trying to connect to it on, it shows up on it's own. How do you connect to a remove Version Cue CS4 server via bridge? Where is the option to even add it?
I assume this would be similar to the default set up any work group would use when using these two tools together. Why isn't there an option to browse for a VC server and put in it's IP or something. They're on the same network, so why can't we just see it and 'just' add it.

Jasker - Thanks you for trying to help, but it didn't work. I followed your directions. Then I attempted to restart the Version Cue server and a Safari browser opened and pointed to http://localhost:3703/ with the message "Safari cant connect to the server.
Safari cant open the page http://localhost:3703/ because it could not connect to the server localhost."
I just want it to start up again so I can properly retrieve all of our projects! Even if I can get it back up, I don't think I will use Version Cue the way we used to, now that I know how unreliable it can be.
Can anyone at least offer advice on how to salvage shared projects (created and maintained by 2 different users) from the Version Cue server when it's offline?

No Version Cue in Bridge

I am trying to connect to a version cue server using bridge but the connect menu is not showing up under tools.

Know nothing about Version Cue, but this from the help file. "Version Cue is a file-version manager included with Creative Suite 3 Design, Web, and Master Collection editions that consists of two pieces: the Version Cue Server and Version Cue connectivity."
Do you have one of the products above?

Version Cue in Bridge: Menu Bar not showing

I am a new Bridge user. I started to go through a tutorial and learn Version Cue. When I start Version Cue by using the Favorites in Bridge, (I have the layout set to default) and there is a large CONTENT panel in the center, it shows the Icons on the dark background, eg: Browse Servers, Recent Projects, [my version cue server]
What the tutorial is showing and my page does not, is a light gray/white menu bar above with some smaller icons, eg. one for Inspector, one for New Project...
How do I get that to show? I can work around some of this, but I have not been able to find how to show multiple versions in the Content window without it.

Jane,
You need to specify which exact version of Bridge and the OS you are running.
Aside from that, you should know that disabling Version Cue is often recommended as a remedy for a variety of Bridge ailments.
I don't have the suite and I have Version Cue permanently disabled.
Last, there is a dedicated
Version Cue forum deep in the entrails of the Creative Suite forum:

Integration missing between Bridge and Version Cue CS4?

Hi there,
I've installed Design Standard CS4, set-up Version Cue and successfully saved an image from Illustrator.
But when I open bridge there is no sign of Version Cue on the left hand side, the help file suggests that I need to select some options for Version Cue in the Start-up Scripts, but they aren't there...
Has anyone had the same experience?

Adobe recommends that you do not follow the steps above to enable Version Cue CS4 in Bridge CS4.

Bridge CS4 ohne Version Cue Favorit

Hallo,
ich habe vor kurzem unsere Creative Suites auf die aktuelle CS4 upgedatet.
Nun vermisse ich in der CS4 Bridge den Favoriten Link auf die Version Cue Server. Auch unter den Voreinstellungen ist die Aktivierung nicht möglich.
Bei Bridge CS3 konnte ich noch direkt über die Favoriten die Version Cue Server anbinden, steuern und auch hier Dateien ein- und auschecken und auch den aktuellen Dateistatus mit Version etc. sehen.
Nun gibt es ja Adobe Drive und ich habe lediglich ein Netzlaufwerk. hier sehe ich aber nicht de aktuellen Status der Dateien, also ob gesperrt, ein- oder ausgecheckt.
Kann ich Version Cue wieder als Foborit mit der Dateiübersicht aktivieren?
Als Betriebsystem nutze ich Vista Business 64bit.
Vielen Dank im voraus!

Why cant I label folders on the bridge that are located on Version Cue Server

Can someone tell me why I cannot label or rate folders that I can see through bridge but the actual folders are on a version cue server.
I can label each individual image or indesign file inside the folder but I cant label the folder itself or give it a rating.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you updated Pages on both the computer and mobile device.

Why can't I see version cue in Bridge?

Hi,
I've got Cue up and running and set up user accounts etc. I can see the server I set up on another machine with Bridge but when I go into bridge on my machine there is not tab in the fav's menu to version cue at all.
Im completly ******* clueless and tried reinstalling. Im running CS3 FYI on vista.
Andy

1) Within Bridge, select menu Edit => Preferences.
2) I believe, on the "General" tab at the bottom is a list of "Favorite Items". Version Cue should be one of those.
3) Turn on the check-box for Vc, and click OK.

After migrating to new Macbook Pro, Photoshop and Bridge constantly Version Cue Crash

I just upgraded to the new MacBook Pro and CS4 crashes any time I try to open a file. "Fatal error - missing component /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework" I've read that the best thing to do for that error is to uninstall and reinstall, but my new machine does not have an optical drive, so my old disks don't help much. Also, I bought CS4 during a limited offer for upgrades to CS1, so I had to call technical support to get it activated, so even if I did manage to reinstall (perhaps by copying my install disks to a USB drive?) I'm expecting to have trouble with reactivating. Any advice before I start tinkering?

Thanks! I deactivated it from both the old and new computers, followed the instructions here to copy the install files and it all just worked.
Strangely enough, it did not ask me to reactivate after reinstalling. It's just working. It doesn't seem to be upadating properly (I run update, and it comes up with the same 9 updates I just downloaded and applied) but I'll probably be upgrading to CS6 or creative cloud before year's end, so this will do for now.
Thanks again!

Photoshop CS3 crashes on File Open (related to Version Cue)

Hi all,
I found some threads on PS crashing on file opening, but none of these were describing my issue, nor were the suggested fixes working.
Here is what happens:
PS opens fine. I can open a file in PS if I open it from Bridge (or Explorer). If I select 'File > Open' in the PS menu however, the open file dialog attempts to open, but hangs and that's it. I can not escape out of it, and if I click close in the system tray it says PS is 'Not Responding' and sends an error message to Microsoft.
This is what fixes it:
In 'preferences' - if I disable Version Cue, Photoshop works perfectly again. Only thing is, I need to use Version Cue!
Anybody else have this issue? Any ideas for fixes???
Thanks all,
Anne

Memory address issues can be tough to track down. Often, they will occur when a program either mis-reports the memory addresses used, or tells the OS that it has released them, when it has not.
Though written with video editing in mind, there still might be some tips for setting up your computer, in this ARTICLE. If you have Win7, please look down-thread for Black Viper's tuning page.
Now, Adobe programs have always been great at reporting their memory usage, but it could still happen - I've just never encountered it over the decades.
Good luck,
Hunt
