"Copy to" and "Move to" Broken in Bridge CS5

"Copy to" and "Move to" are broken for me in Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate, Bridge CS5 4.0.4.2. When I select one of these commands and choose "Choose folder...", the dialog box only shows files in my user folder-- rather than showing the entire directory tree as it should.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Right-click a thumbnail in Bridge
2. Choose "Copy to" or "Move to."
3. Click on "Choose Folder..."
Result:
The "Browse for Files or Folders" dialog pops up, but it lists only "Desktop" and my user folder. Clicking "Desktop" does nothing. Clicking my username, opens (of course) only that branch of the directory structure.
Expected Result:
Entire folder tree should be available-- "Computer," "Network," etc. There is no way to move or copy a file to a folder outside my user folder!
I use this feature a lot and need help fixing this. I already tried holding the Ctrl key while loading Bridge to reset all preferences. It did not help.

The Browse for Files or Folders dialog is an OS dialog. Bridge just call it. This issue should be a Win7 bug. it also happens on other applications other than Bridge. Please see the link http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/pl-PL/w7itproappcompat/thread/5a64fd05-ebf3-4c8 3-b396-c67dd6594c70
And I can reproduce this issue on my machine. If I have many files(say 100+) under Desktop, then my Browse for Files or Folders dialog only shows my user folder. The workaround is: Reducing file number under Desktop will make the Browse for Files or Folders dialog worked normally.
So, Mike, can you have a try for this workaround?
Thanks

  • Don't want to Copy audio and movies into document:  Selecting

    Hello
    Here is my first question about Keynote.
    In the User Guide, we may read:
    Copy audio and movies into document:  Selecting this checkbox saves audio and
    video files with the document, so the files play if the document is opened on another
    computer.
    *_You might want to deselect this checkbox so that the file size is smaller, but_*
    *_media files won’t play on another computer unless you transfer them as well._*
    The named checkbox is unchecked in the Advanced options as well as in the Preferences pane but, when I drag a sound file, in fact a mp3 one encapsulated in a .mov file, I retrieve it it the document itself.
    I'm running the app on a French system if it may make sense.
    Am'I doing something wrongly ?

    I have no huge knowledge about Keynote.
    So, I would use brute force.
    Assuming that your document is built with the flatfile format introduced by iWork '09
    (1) rename the document wxyz.key as wxyz.key.zip
    (2) double click the renamed document
    it will expand as a wxyz.key document using the old package structure
    (3) ctrl + click the icon of the new wxyz.key document to reach the contextual menu offering the item allowing you to "Display Package Contents"
    (4) in this contents you will see the "kind of aliases" which I wrote about.
    They are named something like : azertyui.mov
    (5) open them with an hexadecimal editor like the free Hexedit.
    You may also drag & drop them on the TextEdit icon.
    In this late case you will get something like :
    I highlighted the meaningful info.
    Here it must be read as:
    Macintosh HD/Important/Téléchargements/jef gilson - oeil vision/jej gilson - oeil vision - 7 -chant inca.mp3
    This is the path to the true file.
    With this info, you may reach the true file.
    As far as I know, the embedded .mov file is a frozen 'kind of alias' so you are not allowed to move it.
    As long as it remains where it is, you may move the keynote document everywhere on your HD. You may also move it on an external HD.
    As long as the device is connected to your machine with the media file untouched thr doc will behave flawlessly.
    If you move it to an other machine, it will be orphan.
    So, to use it on an other machine, you must embed the media file in the document.
    Open this document with Keynote.
    Check the checkbox urging Keynote save media in the document
    Delete the icon of the media item existing in the document
    Drag & drop the true media file as a replacement of the deleted one
    then save the document.
    Oops I was forgetting to respond about 'dropped files'.
    To my knowledge, they are some insert picture files.

  • File printing and icons for folders in Bridge CS5 - too small to read

    Got CS5 and am trying to use Bridge. The folders are too small to read and the print with them too small. The slider at the bottom of the page enlarges the space but the files and printing stay the same size. If I open one the images will enlarge with the slider but I don't want to waste time opening each file to see what is in them. I want to be able to read wha the file is and open the right one first try.
    Tried calling "tech support" Those jackasses can't speak English. On hold for 3 hours overall after getting someone, getting cut off and having to call again. I hope Pakistan nukes India and solves that problem.
    When I finally got through the guy told me my Photoshop copy was not registered. Funny, it was last week when it had problems. Then I try changing the pasword and it says it did it, but won't accept it.
    I hate computers.
    So, anyone know how to get this damn probram to make the folders and printing big enough to read without my having to get up to the screen with a magnifying glass like Sherlock Holmes? The screen is a 22inch graphic arts monitor and I don't have this problem with any other programs. Not Breezebrowser, Not Auto Pano Pro, not Photo Mechanic. Just Bridge with this overpriced and overhyped photoshiz crap.

    Small, and uncustomizable, fonts has been a com
    plaint in PhotoShop also. 
    Send in a bug report, they do read those, and maybe if enough users complain they will modify the program.

  • Copying Metadata and Keyword Info when installing Bridge on new computer

    Hi, I've just purchased a new computer and have installed Bridge CC on it, but I couldn't figure out what files from my old computer I need to copy/move over so that I can access the metadata and keywords that I had customized in Bridge on my older computer.  Both are Bridge CC so there should be versioning issues.
    Can someone give me a step by step on what files to copy and replace?
    Thanks,
    Steve Goldberg
    I'm using a Mac Pro, if that helps.

    Sigh, it's bad enough that Adobe tech support gave you conflicting information, but for them to shun responsibility by directing you to a user forum is completely unacceptable.
    Having said that, I have the following suggestions:
    From what I've found on MSDN, that error is generated because either the Adobe software installed on your computer is performing an illegal or conflicting operation; or some Windows system files have been deleted or moved.
    So, the things to try are:
    Simplify matters by uninstalling all the Adobe software -- PSE8, Premier elements, PSE9, the whole works.  Restart your computer and then install only PSE9.
    If you still get the error, use System File Check to repair the system files:
    Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click
    Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command
    Prompt, and then click Run as
    administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for
    a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
    Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
    sfc /scannowThe sfc
    /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect
    versions with correct Microsoft versions.
    Be patient, it can take a while.  After running sfc, even if it reports it didn't find any files to repair, it really did, so restart your computer.

  • After installing Mt.Lion on my 27" iMac (2010), my copy/paste and move files would no longer function after a few minutes of use. I re-opened in Safe Mode and found everything okay, so I was told it was a bad extension. Now what do I do?

    I have tried to look for an extension like Air Print Activator, which I tried and ignored. I thought it might have some timing method that would stop my copying and pasting and moving files after a minutes ot two. So I re-installed the latest version and "uninstalled" it, hoping it would then remove an errant extension. But that didn't help. It seemed to start when I first tried out Mail and moving new emails into their mailboxes after reading. I tried to figure out how to do a Clean Install, too,  but it would not allow me to "move" the InstallESD.dmg to a USB disk, "resource busy". Everyway I turn, I'm blocked from carrying out a method of finding the culprit, short of starting from scratch -- but losing years and years of mail, files, receipts, etc. It's just too much to sacrifice. I have no idea what to do next, since I have no idea what extension is causing it or how to isolate and destroy it. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

    You can try repairing the boot drive, Since you are running OS 10.6.8 you will need the OS DVD. Do you have it?
    Please post back if you do, and need directions on how to do the disk repair.

  • Copy and paste file path into bridge

    I use bridge a lot! One of the most annoying things about bridge is that I can't paste a file path into bridge to browse to that file, on a network server, for example. I work at a graphics company, all our files are stored on servers with hundreds of folder levels, which makes it a huge pain to browse to manually.
    I'll usually get a file path link that i can quickly paste into windows explorer to either open the file or browse to the folder it's in. With bridge i have to manually click through to the network folder.
    This change would make a huge difference in usability for me.

    Paste your path into explorer then you can Right Click on the folder and select "Browse in Adobe Bridge CS5"
    Edit:-  you can paste the path directly into the top bar just click to the right of the path and it will allow you to paste your path in.

  • InDesign copy, cut or move box functions don't work

    I am having trouble with the copy, cut and move box commands. When a text or shape box is active, I cannot move it with the cursor. It will move if I use the arrow keys, but the box behaves like it were "locked." I deleted my preferences, but that makes no difference. This problem persists whether I am in an existing ID document, or if I start a new one.
    The copy and cut functions don't work either.

    Of course replacing your prefs is a possibility, and has nothing to do with the need to force quit (but will probably cure it). Replacing prefs is done with the application closed, either using the keyboard combination as you relaunch, or by deleting or renaming the specified files, both ow hich are desribed inthe link in the previous post.
    You posted that you had already deleted the prefs, I believe, but many users are not aware they can use the keyboard or that there are two files involved for ID and are not successful, and thus think repacing the the prefs is not going to solve the problem. Hence my previous question. Did you use one of the methods in the link?

  • Hidden network drives "home" and "net" shown in folder view Adobe Bridge CS5 / Lion Problem

    Updated to Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion and got this "problem":
    The hidden network drives "home" and "net" shown in folder view Adobe Bridge CS5 (unlike in 10.6 Snow Leopard).
    Normally these network drives are hidden (in Finder and other Apps) - but Adobe Bridge CS5 is showing them, despite "show hidden files" is unchecked in Adobe Bridge.
    Not a dramatic "bug", but it also shouldn't be a big problem for Adobe Bridge engineers to solve this. My first question to the Adobe Support was answered like: "we don't know what Apple did change, so we cannot do anything". Hmmm, are you serious?
    I tried to resolve that problem by myself but failed. So, if an Adobe engineer is reading this post: perhaps Adobe Bridge is ignoring the automounter master map (that was my approach to resolve it):
    # Automounter master map
    +auto_master                    # Use directory service
    /net           -hosts                 -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
    /home                                        auto_home       -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
    /Network/Servers               -fstab
    /-                              -static
    You cannot do anything to these folders, so it is not a serious issue, but, I mean, did someone at Adobe check compatibiliy with 10.7 and ignored this issue? If so, are there an other issues ignored?
    But I guess, the compatibilty update for Bridge CS5 for Lion is Bridge CS6 - to be fair: I also have to say, that in general Bridge is running okay on Mac OS X 10.7.2 (but could be better, as always;)

    Hi Curt Y,
    thanks for your answer! Yes you' re right, I forgot to mention that ... before I posted here, I sent a bug report via the Apple Bug Report webpage about the issue ... of course, here are 2 parties involved.
    I had a similiar problem once and I got a meesage back from Apple: "that it is a 3rd party problem, sorry" (it was about color management).
    I am just a user and I often feel very strange about Apple's (topsecret) communication behaviour ... Whatever, what do I know about software engineering? - Right.
    Maybe someone on this forum has an idea, because I'm afraid, thus it is not a serious bug, no one would take care about it in the next time (during my research I found an older post here on the forum about the same problem ...).
    thanks for help in advance,

  • Bridge CS6 Trial and Bridge CS5

    Hello
    I have just installed Photoshop CS6 trial with Bridge CS6 and notice that as in Bridge CS5, in Bridge CS6, the previews of thumbnails do NOT show sharpening and NR applied in ACR7, even after purging the cache and setting monitor size preview. Is there any reason why? It means that if I run a slideshow, some of the editing in ACR does not appear in the views.
    Surely the monitor size preview jpegs should reflect all work changes made in ACR.

  • Bridge CS5 closes when moving files

    Bridge CS5 abruptly closes when moving files.  It does not matter if I drag and drop or if I cut/copy and paste to different folders -- I get the same behavior either way.  When I try to move files, I get a Windows dialogue box saying the program has experienced a problem and will close.  After Brdige closes and I open it again, the files have been moved.  Still, it is a pain to have the program crash everytime I move a file.
    I have a new computer with great specs and lots of memory (see below).  I did not have this problem before and only began to experience it recently.  The only changes since then are that I downloaded a trial version of Adobe Dreamweaver.  I found another instance of this problem in the forums and followed the advice of disabling all scripts, but it did not help.  What can I do to move files in Bridge?
    Computer: Studio XPS 9100
    Processor: Intel Core i7-920 processor(8MB L2 Cache, 2.66GHz)
    RAM: 12GB DDR3 SDRAM,1333MHZ, 6x2GB
    Video Card: ATI Radeon HD5670 1GB GDDR5
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English 

    I have a computer setup very similar to yours, in fact you have one notch higher ram and video card.  It should work.  I do use drag and drop sometimes, but almost always use right click and "copy to".  It will list the last 10 places you have visited so it is easy to click on the folder (or visit it first).  More of a hassle if you have to browse.
    I had to add "copy to and move to" to the right click function in Vista and Win7.  Check on-line and there is an automatic program that inserts it into the registry.  It confident instructions are given to do it manually.
    Have no idea why it will not work.  Can you drag and drop in Win Exp?
    Hope this helps.

  • No MPEG preview or playback in Bridge CS5

    After doing a clean install of CS5, everything seems to work well except for Bridge.
    HDV mpeg clips will not display a visual thumbnail
    or playback in preview window of Bridge.  When double-click
    ing icon, I get an error "Windows
    cannot find '%ProgramFiles(x86
    )%Windows Media Player
    \wmplayer.exe'.
    When I double-click an AVI file, Bridge finds and uses Windows Media Player just fine.

    MPEG clips are working fine in Premiere Pro CS5 and AME rendering is awesome!!!

    Hi Rick,
    Regarding br asc's reply:
    can you purge the video file in thumbnail panel to get new thumbnail?
    I can playback mpeg video in bridge on my windows 7 64bit machine.
    I am not sure what you did or what exactly did br asc meant....  Anyhow, let me describe my problem and what I did to overcome it:
    My Problem:
    In Bridge CS5 version 4.0.2.1, I am having problem previewing .MOV files.  My .MOV files are from various source such as iPhone, 5DII, 7D, 550D and a few camcoders.  The funny thing is some .MOV files preview ok while others not.  It is not source dependent either as I've checked, by that I mean something like I have two .MOV files from say, the 5DII, with exact same settings when recorded, why does one preview ok and the other not in Bridge CS5???
    What I did:
    (1)  In Bridge, go to menu
    Edit > Preferences (or Crtl K for Wins), go to the File Type Associations (on left pan) and make sure QuickTime (.mov) is associated with your QuickTime Player on the right pan.
    (2)  In Bridge, go to menu
    Edit > Preferences (or Crtl K for Wins), go to the Cache (on left pan) and click the [Purge Cache] button on the right pan to Purge All Cached Thumbnails and Previews.
    After doing (1) & (2), I am able to preview every .MOV in Bridge CS5.
    Not sure what I have done different to anyone else, but it seems to work for me.  Hope it helps...
