Buglet in Tools/Photoshop/Batch file list

I was just having a look at this and noticed that for me when I use it to run a trivial action in PS from Bridge (just opens selected files and leaves them open) it is opening the selected files PLUS one other file that is not selected. The file it is opening is always the same one and this persists even after opening and closing Bridge - so I would guess it is something happening either at the scriptstore level or within the core of PS / BR itself. It is not a problem with the Bridge selection list since I tested for this with my own batch process scripts and got the expected results.

Andrew,
To make things perfectly clear for me, is this the menu item
Tools -> Photoshop -> Batch...
Or is it a script that you've written that uses scriptstore?
The menu item for Batch... doesn't use scriptstore afaik

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.

CS3: Tools Photoshop Batch does nothing

I select a bunch of found files and go to Tools > Photoshop > Batch. This used to present the Batch dialogue in Photoshop allowing me to run a batch action on the found files. Now it does nothing. Photoshop is running, computer recently restarted.

>Update: Computer's hard drive recently replaced from a freshly formatted image. Still no joy.
Meaning what exactly? I don't understand this way, what is "replaced from a freshly formatted image"
And could you tell more details about OS and software version's
Have you already tried to refresh preferences for 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.

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.

Loading Batch from Bridge-Tools-Photoshop-Batch no screen appears

Can't get Batch screen to load in cs6 from Bridge-Tools-Photoshop-Batch

Hello! are you on a PC, a MAC? can we have more info about your machine.
Is anything non-standard on your setup, for instance: Are you using restricted profiles on a PC?
The window does not show, there is no error message? is Ps running? does it work from Photoshop? what kind of files are selected?
If you give all the relevant info directly you'll get your answers faster.

Tools/Photoshop/Batch no longer available after updating Bridge. Is there a missing file?

I have just updated all my cc apps, Photoshop, Bridge etc. Being able to batch process files from Bridge is no longer a visible option. Can anyone advise about possible missing files that might enable this?

Same problem here:
Bridge batch problem after Photoshop cc 2014 update
I recently updated all my adobe cc products to the 2014 version. The previous cc version is still on my pc (Windows 7 professional)
I’ve come across 2 problems since that update:
All the actions I’ve made in the regular cc version are gone in de updated version. I tried to recover the actions by clicking load actions in the actions panel, and then went searching for them in the actions folder (…\Adobe Photoshop CC\Presets\Actions) of the cc version, but photoshop cc 2014 apparently couldn’t find a compatible file. So, is there a way to import those actions to the cc 2014 version or do I have to remake all those actions?
I’ve made a new action in Photoshop cc 2014 and tried to batch several images with that action in Bridge. When the cc 2014 is open (or not) a message appears in that version of photoshop stating that photoshop cc is required for this command and that I should close this version and try again. When I open the photoshop cc version before I click on batch in Bridge nothing happens at all.
Any solutions for this problem?

Bridge CS4 for Mac: Tools Photoshop Load Files into Photoshop Layers... (?!)

When I invoke the above subject command I keep getting the following error: "Photoshop CS4 is currently busy with another task. Would you like to queue this command?"
The fact is, PS CS4 isn't doing anything (that I know of). If I quit PS and re-launch, I still get the same Bridge error. Anybody run into this problem? Anybody know what "queue" Bridge is referring to and how to access said queue?
Many thanks.

Here's what's strange. Yes, I deleted and rebuilt my Brige prefs. That did no good. That is, the queue message disappeared, but otherwise nothing happened. The images still would not all appear as layers within the same PSD. Instead, nothing happened, other than the PS application would switch into focus.
Then I thought that maybe the problem was that I was using jpegs, and all jpegs are set to open first in ACR. So I turned off that setting. Once again, nothing happened.
Last, I rebuilt Photoshop's Settings file upon launch. Still nothing.
Any more ideas?

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.)

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?

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.

Can't batch files on network from bridge cs4

Started having this problem a few weeks ago, up until then I have always been able to use Bridges Batch command to process images on our file server. Our file server runs Samba, and no user authentication is needed.
If I use Bridge, and try to batch images that are on the server [Tools > Photoshop > Batch] then Photoshop gives me this error:
"FatalError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop. - <no additional information available>"
But, if I run a batch from Photoshop [File > Automate > Batch] then I can process images on the server fine.
I can use Bridge to batch to Photoshop if those images are on my desktop/local disk.
So the error happens when Bridge tries to tell Photoshop which images to batch, if those files are on the file server. I've tried different files that have been created at different times (years) and from different machines but still the same error.
Not sure what has caused it, maybe an Apple update or something. We've had that issue in the past when Snow Leopard couldn't write to Samba drives because of the UNIX file name thing, but Apple did get around to patching that. Maybe it's Adobe's way of trying to get us to upgrade to CS5..
System Specs:
iMac
OSX 10.6.4
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz,
4GB DDR3 RAM
320GB HD
Adobe Design Premium CS4
Bridge: 3.0.0.464
Photoshop: 11.0.2

If I use Bridge, and try to batch images that are on the server [Tools >
Photoshop > Batch] then Photoshop gives me this error:
"FatalError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be
available in this version of Photoshop. - <no additional information
available>"
Without knowing anything about working on a network this problem usually is
solved after having refreshed the preferences for Bridge. Have you already
tried that?
Restart Bridge holding down alt key and from the menu choose reset
preferences. This brings them back to default settings so any custom
settings should be reset again to your own wishes.
The 10.6.4. update gave me a lot of problems with CS5 that temporarily have
been solved by disable OpenGL for CS5. This update might have caused also
this problem for you but that is not a certainty...

How can I do a Photoshop batch edit from Lightroom?

In Bridge, I can go to tools > Photoshop > Batch and select a Photoshop Action to apply to some group of photos. Can I do this in Lightroom?

IF you create a droplet you can drag the files directly from the Library Module on to it (Mac)
If part of your process involves making derivative files from Raw then you can specify in the export dialog to run the droplet after processing.

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.

While in bridge when tools PS batch - nothing happens

i batch edit ALL the time - did it just last night & now is not working. i have CS4 for Bridge and PS. when in bridge going to tools>photoshop>batch, usually PS pops up and then has the 'batch' window where you can select which preset you want to run.....however when i do tools>PS>batch, PS opens, but the "batch" window doesn't open and therefore i am unable to batch. Any help for this? i ran it last night on one session and it worked perfectly, then went to run on another session and it didn't work - didn't change any settings or anything with my computer at all either.

You have to press and HOLD the Option key as you relaunch Bridge.

GenerateIPA Batch File

Hi Guys,
Here is a simple command line tool (a Batch file) that will easily help you to generate IPA file with the ipa-test profile. Please download the GenerateIPA zip in the following link and extract it.

Sample-app.xml - Open the Sample-app.xml and edit your settings.
The app name is the one consider for all sample.fla, sample.swf, sample-app.xml.
