CS3 Bridge, no files on right click (yes, I set preferences)

I wrote this in previous thread, but it referred to CS5 so I'm pasting it in a new one.
This is for CS3 Bridge.
Since I finally uninstalled previous CS version, now when I open up Bridge and right-click PSD image to say, open in AI, my options are only all browsers (?!) and Photoshop which is the program assoc. with PSD that I set in File Type Assoc in Bridge. Used to be able to view most Adobe programs when right-clicked before I uninstalled old CS.
It's annoying and I'm not sure how to restore/fix.
Thanks!

Uninstalling an old version, will believe it or not, cause the file associations to revert to the uninstalled version. Not an easy fix.
It appears you either need to start over or delve into the registry. See this link. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/423584?tstart=0

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

WHY CAN'T I COMBINE FILES WITH RIGHT CLICK ANY MORE? HOW LONG AM I EXPECTED TO WAIT BEFORE SWITCHING TO A COMPETITOR'S PRODUCT?

I used to be able to select a set of documents in the Windows file explorer, right click these highlighted documents, and then right click-->Combine Files in Acrobat.
This used to open the combine files page in Acrobat and I would be able to combine the files directly.
Now when I use right click to combine files in Acrobat it simply opens Acrobat. If I want to combine the files I have to go to Acrobat, select the option, and then navigate to the files.
This similar issue exists for edited PDFs. I used to be able to right click a document and select "Edit with Adobe Acrobat" and the document would open when this option was selected. Now if this option is selected it opens Adobe Acrobat and I have to navigate to any files I want to use.
How do I use the right click features in the file explorer? These features don't work any more and they used to.

Hi
Could you please tell which Acrobat version you are using and also the OS- Windows 7 or 8.1?
Also can you please tell whether you are getting Acrobat specific combine and Edit options in the right - click menu?
If yes, are they working or nothing happens on clicking them?
If possible, can you also try to restart your system and then try Right-click -> combine files in Acrobat?
Thanks

Flash files with right click imported in dreamweaver files

Flash files created with Captivate which contain rightclick
functionality are imported to html files created in Dreamweaver. In
other words, I don't use the html created by Captivate but another
html file to build up a whole course. But now a couple of those
flash files contain a right click and obviously I have to adjust
the dreamweaver file with some of the script that William Heinz has
created. I am not an HTML expert and I am not 100% confident that I
can do with just endless try&error. Could anyone give me some
hints?
I suppose I need to use the second bit of William's article
"the more complex requirement".
When I insert the flash file this is what I get: (This is
where I am suppose to make the changes????)
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','

</object></noscript>
I am not sure what to do with the "<Body
onload='javascript:init()..... "etc as suggested by William.
Thanks for any advice on this!!!

I hope there is one person out there who can help me with
this issue.
I have started from scratch and created a blank html with
dreamweaver and inserted the flash file (with right click
animation) created with Captivate.
Then I made the adjustments as per Heinz and also included a
ID=Captivate1 as the RightClick.js refers to that.
The main difference between this html file and the html file
created with Captivate, is that the Captivate one also has
writedocument bit.
Anyway, is there anybody in the world who can give me
atip/hint/suggestion?????

Acrobat trying to "configure" when any file is right clicked

Hi folks,
I have the CS3 Master Collection, and I uninstalled it to do the trial of CS4 Master Collection, I gave the CS4 a whirl to see if I wanted to do the upgrade but I decided to wait. So I uninstalled CS4 Master Collection then reinstalled the CS3 Master Collection. Now whenever I right click on ANY file it starts the little configuration window for Acrobat. I have tried the CS4 cleaner and the CS3 cleaner, but after a fresh install of my CS3 Master it still does that annoying little problem. I did look in my log files here on Vista 32bit and it does say on one that it failed to see Elements, and Distiller as well. They were both registry problems. I have also ran CCleaner as well. Does anybody have a solution? Much appreciated if you do.

Thanks Bob,
Yes it is Acrobat 8, and it is at the update version of 8.13
Is there yet another update to do? It didn't say there was. I had done a previous upgrade from XP Pro 32bit to Vista Ultimate 32bit without any issues with CS3 Master (CS3 was fully updated). I will look yet again. Thank you for your help.

Bridge CC crashes when right-clicking under Collections

Each time I right-click in the Collections tab, in the blank area under my existing collections, the program crashes. Windows 7 x64, fast system, lots of ram etc. Always crashes.
Any ideas?

In CC, I am forced to leave Bridge, go into the application, and Open the file through the system dialog box.
That is not normal behavior (at least on my Mac I still have all installed applications as option under this menu). By default the open with menu under the righty mouse menu should show all installed applications on your system. It sometimes even shows them double in case of attached disks with back up etc.
This has not changed in Bridge CC. If you have those applications installed on your system at the same location as Bridge they should show.
First try a reset of preferences for Bridge with holding down control key while restarting Bridge and choose rest preferences from the provided menu.

CS3 Bridge is now crashing right after opening

My CS3 Bridge, which has worked for quite a while, has started crashing immediately after opening.
I tried to repair the installation, tried to uninstall and then install again, and tried opening holding down the control key and deleting all the preferences.
Then I uninstalled, deleted all the files under the local settings/application data for bridge, deleted all the folders left under program files for Bridge and re-installed, same issue.
I also tried updating video drivers.
Still crashes. How can I fix this?

I am having same problem. I have not added any new software or updates that I'm aware of. If anything was updated it was Adobe updater. My problem started a week ago. Any ideas how to correct? Very frustrating.
You seem to be running two threads!
There a several possible causes. Try purging your Bridge cache – that can sometimes clear it.
Or check in Task Manager to see if a hidden instance of Bridge is running under "Processes". It could have been activated on start-up of Windows.

Create New File with Right-Click

Is there a way to right-click on the Desktop and select an option to create a new text file? (I was asked this by a recent Windows convert and don't know how to do it myself.)

Jay Bullock wrote:
I don't think so. However, if TextEdit is in your Dock, it takes just one click on that application's icon to open a new text file.
You can also keep a blank text file in the dock. A click pops up a blank text file.

After having downloaded I have been unable to open the files using right click or double clicking in the download windo

I am using Windows 7 along with Office 10. I have downloaded a number of zip files into Download location. Although the files are shown in the firefox download window they are not on my computer hard disk. Although I can access the Firefox download window and get the menu when I right click on a file and click on open nothing happens. The same outcome when I double click on the file in the window. I need to understand where the download files are and how to open them before I go crazy.

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Firefox uses the about: protocol to access built-in about: pages that you can open via the location bar just like you open web pages.

Moving Files when Right Clicking

Hello,
I've been searching on the forums, and haven't been able to get an answer to what I am trying to accomplish.
I'd like to be able to right click any file of my choice, and be ale to move it to a set of folders (Pictures, Movies, External Drives, etc). How to I go about adding these folders to the menu upon right clicking any file? (For example if you right click, you have an option to move to the trash, I'd like to add additional locations to move a file to).
Thanks for your help in advance!
Tom

Automator actions don't quite work in that way. You can select from any of the currently available variables when editing the Automator window, but you need to specifically define a variable to use in any particular action when running the workflow. You can (sort of) build a custom list, but depending on the number of locations it might be cumbersome.
1) Set Value of Variable {Variable: Original Items} -- save the original selection
2) Get Specified Finder Items (ignore input) -- drag all of your specific locations to the window
3) Choose from List -- select one of the locations (it will only use the first one)
4) Set Value of Variable {Variable: Location} -- save for later
5) Get Value of Variable {Variable: Original Items} (ignore input) -- get the original selection back
6) Move Finder Items {To: (drag Location variable here)}
You can also use the "Show this action when the workflow runs" on the move action to include the normal selection dialog - you will notice, however, that the only variable that you can choose from is the one you initially set in the action (in my example, that is the Location variable).
After all of that, unless you only have a few locations that you use, it will probably be easier to just use the selection dialog. Of course, there is always AppleScript (especially to replace the Choose from List action to something that only allows one choice).

I cannot download a PDF file by right-clicking and "save link as"

I think that previously I could do this, and I still can in IE (ugh!), but in Firefox, when I try to "save link as" from a Google search, Firefox tries to download "url."

Right click image in Bridge CS3 will not open images in Photoshop

Hi,
New to Bridge here.
I have a problem where I can double click an image (jpg, cr2, tiff, it does not matter what type) or right click + open or right click + open with Photoshop but Photoshop will not start.
For jpgs, if I right click + open with Internet Explorer, it will open the jpg in IE.
Thanks.

Several different things to look at.
Go to edit/preferences/file type associations and see what the default settings are. THe ones you mentioned should be set to CS3.
You can also right click on a photo and set open with CS3.
If that does not solve it there are also file associations in Windows that can be changed.

Opening Camera Raw file in CS3 Bridge

I have CS3 Bridge and CS3 Dreamweaver instaled as well as Photoshop CS2.
I want to open Camera Raw files in CS3 Bridge. The Bridge Help file says:
"Select 'Edit Camera Raw Settings' in Bridge General Preferences to open Camera Raw dialog box in Bridge" (as opposed to opening in Photoshop.)
But my Bridge General Preferences has no such checkbox option. When I open a CR file in CS3 Bridge, the file opens in Photoshop CS2.
How do I get the file to open in CS3 Bridge.
Thanks, CMA

I had a problem with this previously and came up with the following:
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF and hold down the shift key, Camera Raw will not be scheduled
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image, the image will always schedule Camera Raw if the Bridge menu item Edit/Preference/Thumbnails has Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF checked (Bridge JPEG and TIFF Checked).
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image and Bridge JPEG and TIFF is unchecked and the JPEG or TIFF image has previously been processed by Camera Raw, Camera Raw will be scheduled if Camera Raw Preferences dialog has Always open JPEG files with settings using Camera Raw or Always open TIFF files with settings using Camera Raw checked.
If I am in Bridge and double click a TIFF image and the TIFF file has layers, the TIFF file will not schedule Camera Raw.
In Photoshop Preferences (Edit/Preference/File Handling) there is a check box titled Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files. I checked the check box and opened a JPEG image in Photoshop Camera Raw was scheduled. I clicked Open Image in ACR and then saved the image in Photoshop (JPEG saved in Photoshop after passing thru ACR). I then Unchecked the check box and opened the JPEG file Camera Raw was not scheduled.
The only action I see for the Photoshop File Handling check box is to either schedule or not to schedule JPEG images. I do not see any related action for TIFF files in Photoshop. My expectation is that TIFF files will open in Photoshop not ACR.

CS3 Bridge, no files on right click (yes, I set preferences)
