Can i with a script force bridge cs5 to show only raw files?

Hi
i know there is the filter feature
but i have every time to set to show me the raw files
can a script show only raw files ? like *.cr2
in short i work only with raw files
i would like to have a solution to display only raw files
to load with bridge and have bridge ready to show only raw files
set it on the filter feature is boring ,seeing i use it a lot and every time i run bridge i have to set the filter every time
thanks

It appears that with the Sort function set to Flie Type you can bring up just the raw
files as a group. With the Filter it appears that it always opens up in the default mode to arrange by file name.
You could get a script to change it to file type, but that does not save any effort over just clicking on it in the Filter section. Whether or not you can get a script to change the defalult I would ask in the Bridge scripting forum. http://forums.adobe.com/community/bridge/bridge_scripting

Hello- I am a Canon photographer. I use Bridge (CS5) to process my raw files to jpegs. I am taking on a second photographer who shoots Nikon (D800) and i am not currenty able to see or process his images. Can you please help? thankyou!

Hello- I am a Canon photographer. I use Bridge (CS5) to process my raw files to jpegs. I am taking on a second photographer who shoots Nikon (D800) and i am not currently able to see or process his images. Can you please help? thank you!

According to Adobe:
D800
NEF
6.7, 7.1
4.1
D800E
NEF
6.7, 7.1
4.1
The fact that they have 2 versions of ACR means that initial support for the D800 was added in 6.7 but that complete support was finalized in 7.1 (the 4.1 in the chart is for Lightroom)
I'm not sure that this means there are missing features, but rather refinements and optimized settings were added in 7.1
However, ACR 7.1 requires CS6.
As Dag mentioned, you can also use the latest version of DNG Converter to convert the D800 files to DNGs which will be able to be opened in older versions of ACR.
The DNG converter only works on folders of files, not individual files. So just select the folder and convert. All the files in the folder will be converted.

Why is Bridge CS5.1 showing same .nef file twice?

I just upgraded from CS3 ti CS5.1 last month and since then Bridge will display a few of the .nef files I am working on twice. It seems to be completely at random, a folder with a few hundered .nef files will have 5-10 files that are showing twice. The file names are exactly the same and when you do something to one it does the same thing to the other one. So, I can't delete one of them without deleting both of them. It pulls them into Camera Raw as two seperate files also, still with the same name. It is not duplicating the file on my hard drive when I look at in explorer, just showing up twice in Bridge. Once I have saved them all to jpg to a different folder, I have to go in and delete the jpg duplicates it made. When I first load my .nef files into Bridge everything is good but as I am working on them in Camera Raw these duplicates start apearing and I can't seem to understand why. Running Windows. I have googled the heck out of this and can't seem to find others with this issue.

I wonder why it is doing that in the first place. I've been using CS3 for years, working through a few thousand files a week and never had the issue.
You must have been very lucky with that, I had many issues with CS3 and needed to delete the complete cache and prefs every once in about 6 weeks to start again from scratch...
However, Bridge is my favorite file manager but I have to admit it can be very mysterious also. Sometimes no problems for a long time, sometimes many troubles after each other.
First aid for your issue with strange thumbs is always purge cache, first option cache for folder, second purge complete cache (preferences) and last option delete the whole cache file manually and start rebuilding cache from scratch.
And other strange behavior out of the blue is often solved by restarting Bridge holding down option (Mac) or control (Win) and choose reset preferences.
It sometimes can be a PITA but besides that it is a very useful application

Bridge CS5 - Adding metadata to RAW files is hit and miss

Can someone help me??? Bridge CS5 will only add the metadata I enter to the files it feels like doing. It is hit and miss. Some files will add it, and other files will get the message "There was an error writing metadata to 100824_Banks_06.NEF". It will go through my whole folder of RAW files, then other times it will allow one or two of the files to get the information. I am going crazy! Is this a preference setting issue, or what?

Bridge is the weakest of all Adobe applications I use. It suffers from the same issues since its first release, when we were told to forgive the teething problems of any version 1 application. Now it's in version 4.x.
I actually spent most of the last two days wrestling with Bridge, and getty pretty annoyed with it. The "Error writing metadata" bug caused me no end of problems in trying to reorganise my keywording of 20,000 photos, and turning the air blue in the process.
I agree that Bridge seems to be the poor relation in the Creative Suite. I call it the Less Glamourous Sister. It needs to be 64-bit to host 64-bit Camera Raw, and it needs to manage resources faster and more efficiently.
I've spent a fair amount of time watching Bridge's activity with a resources monitor utility, and it's a very busy lady. It seems to poll several drives every second or two, accessing the registry, disk-based settings and library files regularly too, even when it appears to be doing nothing. And, even though I had indexed and cached my whole 20,000 photo collection, Bridge insists on recreating some thumbnails and previews at random intervals.*
I decided that the anti-virus software suggestion was a red herring in my case (I now realise this is the Mac forum anyway). Photos which gave an error became subsequently locked for several minutes, and I had to edit the sidecar files by hand. In the end, I worked out that, even though there is no on-screen indication of activity, Bridge is quietly working its way through every item in the Content pane, and it is this action which seems to coincide with the Metadata Error. Wait for it to end, and chances are much reduced, but not fully removed.
Oh, and Adobe's customer treatment might be debatable, but that helpful customer you quoted was a regular abuser of other forum users, so I like to see a silver lining from that post.

How can I rename my pics in Bridge CS5?

How can I renams my pics in Bridge CS5?

Here's what is in the Bridge cs5 help pdf file. (I was not able to find this same help info from clicking help in Bridge cs5).
Batch rename files
You can rename files in a group, or batch. When you batch rename files, you can choose the same settings for all the selected files. For other batch-processing tasks, you can use scripts to run automated tasks.
1 Select the files that you want to rename.
2 Choose Tools > Batch Rename.
3 Set the following options:
Destination Folder
Place the renamed files in the same folder, move them to another folder, or place copies in another folder. If you choose to put the renamed files in a different folder, click Browse to select the folder.
New Filenames
Choose elements from the menus and enter text as appropriate to create new filenames. Click the Plus button [+] or Minus button [-] to add or delete elements.
•String Substitution
Allows you to change all or part of a filename to custom text. First, choose what you want to replace: Original Filename replaces the string from the original filename. Intermediate Filename replaces a string that is defined by preceding options in the New Filenames pop-up menus. Use Regular Expression allows you to use regular expressions to find strings based on patterns in filenames. Replace All replaces all substrings that match the pattern in the source string.
Options
Select Preserve Current Filename In XMP Metadata to retain the original filename in the metadata. For Compatibility, select the operating systems with which you want renamed files to be compatible. The current operating system is selected by default, and cannot be deselected.
Preview
One current and new filename appear in the Preview area at the bottom of the Batch Rename dialog box. To see how all selected files will be renamed, click the Preview button.
4 (Optional) Select a preset from the Presets menu to renaming with frequently used naming schemes. To save batch rename settings for reuse, click Save.

How to get Adobe Bridge CS5 to open an FLV file in another program?

Hello Folks,
How do I get Adobe Bridge CS5 to open an FLV file in another program other than Flash CS5?
When I double click on an FLV video, it always opens Flash CS5. I want to be able to use one of my other FLV player apps instead.
Thanks

How do I get Adobe Bridge CS5 to open an FLV file in another program other
than Flash CS5?
When I double click on an FLV video, it always opens Flash CS5. I want to be
able to use one of my other FLV player apps instead.
For single use when having pointed the cursor on that file with right mouse
click choose open with and choose the wished application from the fly out
menu.
For permanent use go to Bridge Preferences File Type Association section and
from the list find the .flv file extension. In this line you can select the
little triangle next to Adobe flash and from the list select the one you
prefer, now the all open in this chosen app.

Bridge CS5 not showing contents of .ase files

Bridge CS4 showed the contents of ase files but Bridge CS5 just shows the .ase icon, can you help?

We have a machine with a fresh install and Bridge had not been opened. Same result as the rest of you guys. It works in CS4 (Mac & Win).
It's not in the "File Type Associations" of CS4 or 5, but they still work in CS4....weird.
There is an update to CS5 v4.0.3 out now. I installed it on a fresh CS5 install and it still doesn't work. I think they may have taken the feature out or something.
I'm not finding any evidence of it being a bug necessarily.

Am useing a PC. Have Photoshop CS5, suddenly cannot move Raw files from bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop. Jpeg move into photoshop ok, did get error message 1 what do I do to correct this om bridge (or anywhere else for that matter)

Useing a PC
Have Photoshop CS5
Suddenly cannot move Raw Files from Bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop.
I Can move Jpegs into ps the only issue is with Raw files
I did get error1 message but as do not know what that means its no help
any suggestions?

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera. How can I get my files open to view and edit? I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3. Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file" ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
Please help!!!

Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right? Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
LR5 is available as a standalone version.
PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
PS-CS6 can be found on this page: Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.

Opening RAW files in Bridge - not recognized as "Camera RAW files"

I would appreciate any help with this as I am frustrated after spending hours trying to figure this out:
I use a Mac OS X laptop
I have a Panasonic (DMC FZ8) camera that I've been taking RAW pictures with. I plug my camera into my computer and try and open the RAW files directly from the camera using Bridge (I have Photoshop CS2)..I have also tried copying the files to a folder on my desktop and opening from there. The problem is that Bridge doesn't recognize my .RAW files as actual "Camera RAW" files and the icons remain as the Preview icon and not actually a preview of the image. If I click on it to open it in Photoshop the "Photoshop RAW Options" come up set on 8 bits and when I open it, it's just a gray screen. I have checked the settings for RAW Camera and the Panasonic RAW files .raw is selected. I have also tried selecting "show only camera raw files" in my window that is open and my .RAW files that are there gray out - so the program isn't recognizing them.
I just downloaded the Plug-in 3.7 Camera Raw and had to create folders for it in Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats. the only folder I had was Application Support/Adobe so the rest I created.
I'm now lost as to what I should do next. Nothing I try seems to be working.
PLEASE HELP!

>I plug my camera into my computer and try and open the RAW files directly from the camera
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
That is a monumentally bad idea. Transfer the closed files to your local hard drive first.
This excerpt is from a long-gone post by the late, lamented author Bruce Fraser:
Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21)
Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
         Drains the camera battery
         Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
         Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
         Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card

How to load Canon EOS 6D Raw files in CS5? [was:load raw files]

How do I load raw files from canon 6D camera into CS5 ?

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The EOS 6D requires Camera Raw 7.3 or higher.
CS5 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.7. It is not compatible with Camera Raw 7+
Either upgrade to CS6 or join the Cloud (US$30/month) or join the Photoshop Photography Program (US$10/month).
Alternatively, if you want to stick with CS5, convert all your Raw files to DNGs using Adobe's free DNG converter
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
Then open and edit the DNG files in CS5.

Lastest camera raw update doesn't work. Bridge no longer recognises my raw files.

I'm using CS 6 and lastest camera raw update doesn't work. Bridge no longer recognises my raw files.

Let's see if I can simplify it for you...are you using CS6 (yes, it seems), are you having ACR problems (yess it seems). So, do you want to fix your issues? Then read this (pay close attention to the details)...
http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/acr-84-bridge-cs6-metadata.html
It pretty much says you need to download a different version of ACR and install it (if it's not too diffucult for you to understand) to get ACR & Bridge to work properly...or not. Your choice...

Come on gents and gentesses...... I'm really sweating on this one. Can't properly display my combined audio and pic when showing the Timeline contents of FCP in the MacPr's TV monitor Only the pic is appearing without any proper sound, as reported above. Just a mono row.
Does nobody have any idea on the problem or am I too far up to date with the MacPro and FCP 5.1.4 for even Apple to let me in on the way to rectilfy. Bloomin' upgrades...... !
