Convert Bridge CS3 scrips to work in CS5

I have Bridge CS3 scripts that i like to use in CS5. I have tried to install them in the same way as for CS3, but that do not work. Is there some kind of converting I have to do to use them in CS5?

There is no conversion path. If they don't work you will need to look at the dependancies of the scripts (do they require json or other files to be included?) load the script(s) into ExtendScript Toolkit (the Adobe Integrated Development Environment) and do the debugging from there. If the scripts are in binary format you will have to go back to the author for help.

There is a Bridge mac forum …

You'd be perhaps more likely to get a good response there. I for one have little idea about advanced use of Bridge.

Converting a CS3 project with assignments to CS5 format

Hi,
is there an easy way to convert CS3 assignments to the new CS5 format?
We have a huge (370 pages; 70 assignments) publication that runs once a year.
Last year we were working with InDesign/InCopy CS3 (5.04).
This year we have to produce the new issue in CS5. Production is starting soon (1-2 weeks) and we want to re-use the old publication as much as possible. Therefore we want to start with last year's layout and just make the necessary changes. Layout/Design is pretty stable and won't change much.
Unfortunately, both InDesign CS5 and InCopy CS5 can't check out the old assignments - they have to be converted. On a smaller publication we already re-created the assignments but I really don't want to do that with 70 assignments unless abolutely necessary. The whole thing is pretty complex...
Is there a way to re-create existing assignments in the new format? I'm not too afraid to start scripting something but I hope there's an easier way. I guess we aren't the only ones facing this problem.
I'm greatful for any hints in all directions.
Best regards,
Mike

Anne-Marie and Bob,
thanks for taking the time to answer - had to digest that, though
Weeeeeelll I fear it's not that easy.
@Bob:
Over here the project (publication) isn't done until it's printed. So we have to cope with last second changes.I fear that we will never be able to exactly estimate when it's time to unlink the InCopy stories. Probably nothing that's new to you...
But I see the point...
So we should unlink everything now and rebuild the assignments from scratch for the 2010 issue? I will have to test that. It's PIA but if it gets the job done... The last thing I want is to have the file break down in mid-project.
@Anne-Marie: yes, those are real actual assignments, all created from the layouted pages (the format is pretty strict with the space each article/segment gets so that was pretty clear from the beginning). One .inca per assignment (one assignment per article/segment) + several .incx for the text frames it contains. Overall number of .incx files: 1059.
What I (we) want to do is to take the old version, archive it (done that) and start a new issue thats an exact copy in the beginning. But the new one has to be in CS5.
I'm not really comfortable with going the idml route - we have about 50 linked (and formatted) excel tables in there that are very sensitive to minor changes. In fact, I dare not to touch them at all if possible.
Will saving to idml keep all the formatting? Just getting the tables to work took about a week but saved us about 2 weeks of editing time and a lot of pain. We absolutely can't lose them. But I guess trying it won't hurt...
Anyway, you have certainly pointed me in the right direction - I will have to discuss it with my colleagues before actually doing anything to the files.
Many thanks,
Mike
ps:
I had the impression that when you "save as" an InDesign file with assignments in it it always re-creates new assignments instead of using the old ones. We had some hassle with that "feature" when we tried to make backup copies of the first InDesign/InCopy projects we did.

Can i keep using bridge cs3 in combination with photoshop cs5

can i keep using bridge cs3 in combination with photoshop cs5

I have a question sort of relevant to this discussion. Had my 8800GT start to fail on me in my MacPro1,1 - in desperation I disassembled the card, cleaned it, applied fresh thermal compound/padding, and stuck it back in. To my amazement the card actually began working again! Before failing a few days later ; ;.
I ordered a replacement 8800GT on ebay for a considerably low cost, but before it arrived my computer began behaving normally again. From what I'm understanding from this thread, there is absolutely no benefit to installing both cards in my computer at the same time? If that's the case, I'm going to tuck the backup card away and keep riding my self-repaired card until it crashes again.

How to convert olympus RAW (.orf) to work with CS5?

Hi-- I've never worked with RAW before so I'm learning as I go-- & immediately hit head-on into this wall--can't even begin to work with it. I tried downloading some conversion filters that sounded like they would work with converting this format, but no go. OLympus was no help, other than saying to buy the update to the latest Photoshop. And of course Adobe has no customer support. Anyone know the good solution? If so--muchos gracias.
Mark

If your oly is a newer model then the orf versions supported in CS5 's ACR version 6.7 you can download Adobe ACR 8.7.1 version with the DNG converter and create DNG files for your OFR files and process the DNG files using CS5 ACR 6.7.

Bridge cs3 unresponsive

Last week my Photoshop CS3 stopped working because "licensing for this product has stopped working". After talking to the guys of technical department that problem seems to be solved. Now I have a new issue: Bridge CS3 is unresponsive. I can't see my pictures through Bridge. The answer of the technical department: they can't help me since "my problem" is not related to Photoshop CS3 and is not an installation issue. They referred me to this forum. So, my question is, how do I get my Bridge CS3 back to work? The photos are still there since I can open them in Lightroom, so what is the problem?
Thanks for any help,
Not technical savvy at all....

So, my question is, how do I get my Bridge CS3 back to work? The photos are
still there since I can open them in Lightroom, so what is the problem?
First of all the CS3 version for Bridge is pretty worse to put it mildly,
you are 2 versions behind and both CS4 and CS5 version of Bridge are far
better, more stable and faster.
However if you don't want to upgrade it should be possible to get it back to
work.
First try the obvious route using the menu tools, cache, purge cache for
folder and see if Bridge goes back to work again.
If not restart Bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences.
Try again and maybe also try the purge cache using the tools menu.
If no luck there is an other method but a little more effort needed for this
so first try the above options.

Bridge CS3 not showing images

Today Bridge CS3 partially stopped working. Images do not show up in the content window but this is inconsistent. It happens with only selected folders. The data under filters does show the folder data. If I try to open (clicking on) a non-existent image in the content window, PS or Camera RAW will open for that image. I have one internal HD and 3 external LaCie drives. Copy an affected folder to a different HD or to the desktop sometimes works but only intermittantly. All the permits, etc. for the folders are the same, read/write permission granted and everything else the same. Sometimes folders that previously opened do not open at a later time.
I've tried restarting the computer and Bridge, no difference. Two events occurred prior to the problem. I installed Apple's latest security update and the new Adobe Reader update. Other than that nothing particular occurred. I am also using Lightroom2 which is working OK. The image are in the folders OK, open in PS, etc. They just don't show up in Bridge.
My computer skills are medium, been user since Photoshop 6.0, taken a number of PS workshops at SFW and Maine, and am competent at using the program. This is over my head. Help.
Bob Gaunt

Thanks Ramon,
It works but with a few other problems I pretty well sorted through. It took a couple of Bridge quit and restarts to get Bridge to open the external drives. Now that's OK. Then it seems at times to hang up trying to generate thumbnails, have to force quit Bridge and try over. Since Bridge worked fairly well for several years, I'm wondering what happened. Maybe just one of life's mysteries.
I have CS4 on the shelf, installed it and couldn't get the drivers for my Epson 2200 installed. The CS4 included generic driver is junk, Epson quit supporting the 2200, so I re-installed CS3 for the time being.

Bridge CS3 shows no thumbnails??

Adobe Bridge CS3 has been working fine for quite a while. I have been having
some problems with my System (C) drive, where it and Photoshop CS3 are
installed.
I swapped out the C drive, and restored an image of the drive, and most
items are working OK. But I'm guessing that Bridge may have suffered some
"corruption", prior to when the image was made.
When I open Bridge CS3, it opens normally. with the files listed on the
lower left, but there are no thumbnails visilbe for any images. Momentarily,
I did see some for one folder, but now they are all not showing anyting at
all in the thumbnail or individual window on screen.
Just for kicks, I double clicked in the middle of where the thumbnails
should be, and an image then opened in Photoshop. So they appear to be
invisible, but present.
Any suggestions here? Is repair install needed, or is there a setting
somewhere that has gotten messed up, that can be simply fixed??
Ron Hisch

Hi John, I just took a look at my settings now in Bridge CS3. That box is not currently checked, and the Bridge Cache files are no longer in the associated folders. Apparently this was not the case prior to my problems. I don't remember ever making a choice here. The centralized cache obviously makes it easier to purge when problems come up. Are there any negative aspects of using the centralized cache? What I cannot understand is how essentially all the cache information in a hundred folders in my image tree on my D drive suddenly all became corrupted at the same time. There must have been something else on the C drive that caused this. In recent days, I was in the process of replacing my C drive due to strange happenings, and restoring an image of that drive to the new drive. I would have to beleive that on C drive in a Brdige folder somewhere, there was a "master" controlling file or ?? that worked with the cache, and it got messed up. Ron "John Joslin" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. If the option to "Automatically Export Caches To Folders When Possible" is checked in Bridge Preferences (as Ron apparently did) I can't imagine that the purge can be done system wide with one click. I have always used a centralised cache, for this and other reasons.

Bridge CS3 won't display thumbnails and locks up

Running a Mac G5 Dual 2gHz processors with OS 10.4.11 and 4GB ram...
I started today working with images on an internal drive and all was well until I selected an older external drive. Bridge vers. 2.0.0.975 would not display thumbnails on the older drives and stopped functioning altogether when selecting a different folder or any menu item.
Reinstalled Photoshop and Bridge and folders/thumbs from internal drive still displayed just fine, but still would not display on external drives. Ever since I tried holding down the option key when restarting Bridge, the the problem has spread to the internal drive and now those images will not display.
And yes, I did try upgrading to Bridge 2.1.1.9, but that update never worked at all for me.
I gotta vent here. Bridge CS3 has been a consistent headache from the first day of purchase. Since Bridge CS3 has never worked properly, how can I justify the purchase of Photoshop CS4 upgrade?

Hey Jim
Good it worked, seem to remember that there have been problems with some users and the auto update feature from Adobe?
Whenever I used Bridge CS3 for a week or 6 to 8 (I also work with it a lot and and also large amount of files) trouble was coming up and I just delete the plist and cache file and restarted with option to refresh prefs. I don't use the cache for archive purpose and usual work with one main folder. After finished I move the files to specific folders without caching those so after deleting cache I only need to recache a few folders and was able to work flawlessly for a certain period.
I must say that Bridge CS4 is more stable and is working also very nice and again better compared to the prior version.
For system maintenance I use Disk Warrior every now and then but Cocktail on a daily basis, scheduled automatically after an also time scheduled auto start up of system and some apps. Cocktail is cheap and easy, :-)

Why can't DW CS5 see jpgs, new files in website root folder in Bridge CS3?

Help! Upgraded to DW CS5. Web site done in DW CS3, used PS3 and Bridge CS3 for photo prep etc. Root folder is in Bridge CS3. I tried to use "Place" to DW CS5- but Bridge opens DW CS3 instead, even with page open in DW CS5. (Have deactivated DW CS3 in associations.) New pages,files and additions are "invisible" to DW CS5. Why?
Before the upgrade,files in the root folder in Bridge were listed and immediately available to DW on Local and Remote. (Mac OS X10.5.8-2.2GHzIntel/mem 2GB 667 MHz)
I'm new at this stuff and have combed the Help-Knowledge Bases-DW and Bridge and haven't found anything remotely helpful or even similar? .Must be something obvious everyone knows to do.

Problem went away this morning!
I tried this step again (a third time) after starting up my computer:
Still trying to get my composite in "B" recognized by LR, I first deleted the composite from "B" using explorer, then went into LR and moved the file from "A" (where LR recognized it), into "B".
This time it worked, the file moved successfully and appears normally in LR.
Don't know if the re-boot helped, or I was making some silly mistake that a good night's sleep cured. If the later, I apologize to all who scratched their heads over this one.
Thanks,
Jerry

BRIDGE CS3 - No thumbnails in Photo Downloader and no convert to dng

I just installed Windows 7 and CS3. I also ran AdobeBridge 1.0.4 updater.
I no longerhave thumbnail previews in the Bridge Photo Downloader, or in Bridge, and the Convert to PNG does not work. I am also now unadble to even open my .NEF files. I get a message in Photoshop saying it's 'not the right type of file'. I am a photographer and this has been my workflow for years.Please help.
Thanks!

If you are just talking about RAW thiumbnails it is usuallly one of 2 problems.
You have more than one file in the folder.
You have the ACR in the wrong folder. It goes in Program Files/COMMON FILES/Adobe/plug-ins/cs3/file formats.

Bridge CS3 - "Open in Camera Raw..." no longer working

The "Open in Camera Raw..." feature for JPG is no longer available in Bridge CS3. It was just working last week but now it does not appear when I right click on an image, it's grayed out in the menu and Command-R is disabled. Anyone know what's up? Doesn't work from Photoshop CS3 either.

There are 3 places to check this option, 1 in Bridge preferences itself, 1 in the camera raw preferences via Bridge and the last one in the PS preferences from PSCS3 itself.
They all should have a checkmark. But there are some issues with this option. You might also want to refresh the preferences with restarting Bridge an holding down option key and after doing so again check and set the prefs to your wishes.

Bridge CS3- My find command has quit working, any help?

In my Bridge CS3 the find command cannot find any of the keywords that I spent hours adding. It has been working fine, but one day stopped. I have deleted the plist, the cache, and the recent workspace to no effect. I have not added any new software recently. It doesn't work if I am searching a file that I have open in Bridge so it is not a matter of not waiting long enough for the thumbnails to generate. Those were the only suggestions I found anywhere. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I am running this on a Mac if that makes a difference.

I may have to upgrade as you suggest. I did find one thing that is interesting, though it doesn't explain where the problem comes from. If I open a folder in Bridge that holds files that I have added keyword to, when I close it Bridge can find those files with the find command. I am not sure why opening the folders would make a difference, but it seems to. This only works one when searching one sub-folder deep. If there is another folder in that, even though I've opened it, it will not find it.
I guess until I am ready to spend the money to upgrade I will spend an evening opening all my keyworded folders. I better find a good video to watch while doing it!

Will ACR 5.6 RC work with Bridge CS3

I have gotten the RC to install for Elements 6.0 on OS X. Bridge CS3 however either displays very fuzzy previews if you use thumbnails generated from 5.5 or if you purge the cache, will not display any thumbnails for .CR2 files created with a 7D or ARW files created with a Sony A100.
Is it supposed to work with Bridge CS3 or are we going to have to upgrade to Elements 8 to have it work with 5.6?

Well, I guess it is a good thing I have already ordered Elements 8 which I think includes Bridge CS4.
