CS4 Bridge Keywords - Delete when Bridge is close.

Greetings
I have gone through and applied keywords to hundreds of images, along with a respective Hierarchy KeyWords as well. As long as Bridge remains open and my computer is on I have access to sort, and find files based on Keywords.
"Close Bridge" : and all Keywords are missing from Keyword pane, excluding the few that are present with Bridge as examples that are always there.
I can, re-select all the images, and the keywords will load again into the Keyword pane, but that takes about hour to manage.
It is like some preference file is not being read, or the Keywords are not saved to the Keywords pane. I have loaded again this App from Photoshop CS4.
One person suggested I go into Preferences and un-click "Read Hierarchy keywords" then open all my image folders and again click on the images to reload the keywords into the Keyword pane again. Then go back to preferences and re-click Read Hierarchy Keywords again, and that everything should be in order. I have done this twice, once with starting Bridge again before re-clicking RHK button again.
Still after two years of having Bridge CS4, I can not used this function to search for images.
And yes, I do select a folder or mounting disk for Bridge to look at for finding the Keywords.
After all this time, has anyone solve the riddle of trying to make this work. I can not update my MAC. I have a PowerPC, Quick Silver, 2002 G4, dual 1000. So 10.4.11 is the last operating system I believe I can use.
Thanks for you help.
Have a good day.

Hello Curt
Thank you for your reply.
This Keyword system was working earlier, that is I could shut off the computer and come back to open Bridge and the keywords were there.
As you suggested the keyword did come up in Italics as I began working with them a few days ago, because someone had responded to an old Thread of mine from this site from almost a year ago. Initially there were coming up as persistent in normal font face.
I followed your suggestion with a smaller batch of Keywords, then shut down the computer and, and they were present when the program came back up.
So Thanks, that works.
This will get me back on the right track again with Keywords.
I have no idea what iniciated a change of from persistent keywords to loosing them all in the past. But at least cognitively, I now have a clear process for getting them to show up again on start.
Thanks again for your reply.

Enterprise keywords deleted when Excel document added in WebApp

In a document library
(within SharePoint Online), we have added the
enterprise keywords column. In an
Excel document, we have the following problem.
If we edit an Excel document (that’s already
placed in the document library) using the
WebApp will SharePoint delete the existing enterprise
keywords that where given earlier when the document placed in de library.
He deleted the keywords only when it’s added in the WebApp. When we open the
Excel file using Excel on the PC, he
simply keeps the previously added
enterprise keywords.
Does anyone have an idea
what this could be?

Stange issue, haven't found any documentation regarding same. Do you see other value also reset like Date and Time, hyperlink, etc

CS4 Bridge Keyword doesn't work properly

Hi,
I have 3 mac minis with CS4 Bridge, the mac1 is opening the pictures and tagging the keywords. the funny thing is that when we are using the keywords to find some pic, only one of the macs actually find them... lets say that one is mac2. Either mac1 or mac3 cant find anythnig. unless i open the folder where i know it is the pic with that keyword.
Can anyone help me please, i'm driving insane.
thanks a lot
Nuno

It seems the title of your thread is misleading. What appears to be failing is the Find or Search function.
The obvious first: Make sure that you have at least one volume (hard disk) or folder actually selected. If none is selected, the Find function won't react.
If that fails, try rebuilding your Bridge preferences by holding the Option key as you launch Bridge until you get a dialog box.
If that doesn't do it, purge the cache through the Tools menu.

CS4 Bridge - Keywords + backup/restore

I have two questions to keywords in CS4 Bridge.
1. When I put a keyword on a photo, is this keyword placed in the sidecar file only, or also into the photo (NEF) file ?
2. I have made a lot of keywords and have a long list in the Keywords-tab. If I one day have to format C: is it then
possible to take a backup of the keywords or can I import all the keywords from my photos into Bridge ?

the reason why Photoshop makes sidecar files is because it can't write data inside some of the files. The sidecar files themselves are stored in the same place as the original file, not buried somewhere on the C drive. As long as you keep the sidecar files in the same place as the raw files you should be ok (they're easy to spot, they have the same name as the raw files but have .xmp extensions)
Your other option would be to convert your raw files to .dng as that way Camera Raw will be able to embed the metadata directly in the raw files so no more need for sidecar files

CS4 Bridge appears to have corrupted my IPhoto 09 library !

I have MAC mini 10.6.8 Iphoto 09 and recently installed Adobe PS8 including CS4 bridge.
I accessed teh briedge and browsed to my master IPhoto library.
Now when I try and access the libraray through IPhoto I have at least the last year's photo missing.
I have no backup and these are irreplaceable.

I accessed teh briedge and browsed to my master IPhoto library.
Don't know how you did that, bridge can't view the content of the library by default, it only shows the icon for library??
Now when I try and access the libraray through IPhoto I have at least the last year's photo missing.
If you have deleted files using Bridge they should still be in the trash, maybe you messed with the folders in the library and did move the year folder to an other location.
I have no backup and these are irreplaceable.
I'm sorry to hear that, don't think you should be in panic right now, there is still a lot to investigate, just don't empty the trash and try to investigate further.
For instance use the finder and select the iPhoto library, Then use right mouse click and from the menu choose show package content. Navigate through the files and find either the folder called Masters (or originals, believe they changed the name once)
Inhere should be different folders for each year containing a lot of subfolders. Copy (Copy, don't remove!) these folders to a new folder outside the iPhoto library and point bridge to this new main folder. Then in bridge go to the menu View and choose show items from subfolders and let Bridge cache. Then see what has been left of your files.
Also open the trash (click on on the icon in the Dock) and see if there is a folder with the year called or other files you recognize. Just drag them out of the trash to a new location.
In general, it is not a question of if your HD is going to die but when, they all die, some sooner then to be expected. Also the human factor is by far from trusted so always, (always!!!) make a back up of important files!!
And don't try to mix iPhoto and Elements/Bridge without learning more about this way of working, iPhoto uses a library with hidden files and creates a lot of spin off with different versions, thumbs sizes etc. they are by default not developed to work together

Removing CS3 bridge, keeping CS4 Bridge...

I am cleaning out previous version of CS3 suite from a mac. However I've had some issues that I wondered if anyone has a solution to.
When running CS3 Bridge, images there are not in CS4 Bridge. There is no export feature I know of (is there?). How do I get everything that is in CS3 Bridge to CS4 to show up before I delete CS3 apps ? (this macbook pro I am using was loaded from CS2 days up to CS4...I have inherited it at work and need to make room but still keep images intact, plus I never used Bridge before so any noob help is appreciated)

Bridge only creates preview thumbs for its own cache library and not the
original files, they keep untouched in the same folders as you have them now
on your system.
You can safely uninstall CS3 without losing images. However you will need to
cache the images again when opening CS4 but that is only taking some time.
You will need to recreate new workspaces for PS and Bridge and also set the
preferences again to your wishes but that is only once. Keep in mind that
actions and brushes that you have created or loaded on your CS3 app don't
copy automatically. Best you save them from PS CS3 first in a folder you can
easily access and in CS4 load them again from that folder.
For exact location for prefs in CS3 and CS4 see those knowledge base

How to get CS4 Bridge Photo Gallery into Dreamweaver?

I am a photographer who is new to Dreamweaver. I followed instructions and created a web gallery in Photoshop CS4 bridge. How do I get that into Dreamweaver???????????

Open DW.
Define your site.
Close DW
Put all the stuff that Bridge spews out into site folder - without changing the file structure.
Open DW
The tickiest part to this if you're new to it all, is defining your site. After that, if you don't have a basice grasp of HTML and CSS Dreamweaver might just turn out to be a bit trickier yet.
If you are not so sure about defining your site, Google it. There are tutorials for it everywhere!

Auto fill subject with an Email link in CS4 Bridge flash web gallery

Is there a way to autofill the subject line of the email link in the CS4 Bridge flab web galleries? I can do it if I use the html gallery, but I prefer the look of the flash galleries.
If I open the "group.xml" file I see code for me email link, exp.: <contactEmail>maillto:[email protected]</contactEmail>
I tried adding the "?subject=My Subject" like I would on an html file but that didn't work. I was hoping for some suggestions.
Thanks!

I want it to work on the click of a mouse: when I run or test the page the email comes up immediately. Here is what I have so far:
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:mailto:[email protected]?subject=yoursubject&body=your message"));
/* Mouse Click Event
Clicking on the specified symbol instance executes a function in which you can add your own custom code.
Instructions:
1. Add your custom code on a new line after the line that says "// Start your custom code" below.
The code will execute when the symbol instance is clicked.
button_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler_6);
function fl_MouseClickHandler_6(event:MouseEvent):void
 // Start your custom code
 // This example code displays the words "Mouse clicked" in the Output panel.
 trace("Mouse clicked");
 // End your custom code
So how do I get the email to open ONLY when the mouse clicks on the link??

CS4 Bridge and Web Galleries

This is probably nit-picking, but I liked a web gallery which I have been using on a site which has about 13 galleries on it. The choices for web galleries in CS4 are OK, but when I checked the file size on a web gallery in CS4 with an identical one I did with CS3, the size was about 5 times as large.
Since I have upgraded to CS4, the old CS3 Bridge isn't available (to my knowledge) and I had to move all the photos from Bridge in CS4 to a folder so I could access the web gallery from CS3.
Tell me if there is an easier way to use the old web gallery directly from CS4 or a way to access the old Bridge from CS3?

Hi all It is still possible to create webgalleries and contactsheets in CS4, but you have to copy some files and folders from a folder called Goodies which you can find on you install disk or download as extras from Adobe.com. In the "...Goodies\Optional plug-ins" folder there is a OptionalPluginsReadMe.pdf where they among other things write: "1. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Optional plug- Ins/Automate/WebContactSheetII plug-in into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/ Automate folder 2. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Presets/Web Photo Gallery folder into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets folder and then restart Photoshop."

CS4 Bridge Colour Issue.

Using my Canon 5D MKII, I shoot everything in RAW with the colour space set in the camera to Adobe RGB. Looking at the RAW files in Adobe CS4 Bridge, the Metadata file properties states that the Colour profile is 'Untagged'. Is that correct - or should it say Adobe RGB?
When you open up the RAW file in ACR, it states that the image has the Adobe RGB profile at the bottom of the screen and when it comes into PS, no profile mismatch warning comes up. Its only when you save the image as a PSD file when the metadata Colour Profile states Adobe RGB.
Also...
Since moving onto Windows Vista, if I am displaying images in Bridge through a video projector, the colours look over-saturated, whilst images displayed in other applications look fine. This does not happen on my standard monitor.
Any ideas what might be causing this?

Ray, it will do a lot more good if you file an official bug report at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Be sure to describe the configuration in extreme detail.

CS4 Bridge Error Message-"The operation couldnot be completed. Not Enough Storage/Memory"??

This subject was originally posted in the Adobe>Windows forum but Adobe employee thought it best that I repost here.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3469769
I originally posted this in Photoshop but employee thought expertise was lacking in that forum and that I should move my question to this one.
Seems very few Adobe CSx users use Bridge....go figure!
Anyway getting error messages that there is not enough memory in Bridge to continue and I must restart Bridge.
Refer to the above link for original question and all pertinant computer data.
Seems this is a very prevelant problem in both the PC and MAC environment but Adobe has felt not important enough to help(see employee comment or lack thereof).
Any help would be appreciated.
I am not real "computer" saavy so please speak so("Idiots Guide To Adobe Bridge ; >) )
Dan

Ok on ampersand meant
just what you adivised...I will not use that character again.
Time wise..10-15 minutes usually but this is an "ungageable" factor. I don't clockwatch to see when failures reoccur.
User security=if you check the right suggestion/similiar thread pane on anyone post, Adobe links similiar threads that might help. A few have been relating the same problem to how user security is setup within Windows.
Permissions for security for users for each disk is here and it was mentioned that some "permissions" were not checked(allow/deny).
By allowing the permissions it could help sand it appears in my case under the "Group or User Name">Users that some categories were not checked that thread mentioned aboved, if changed to "Allow" granted more control.
The path control, aka "My Book", is where the images were stored(External HD) and moved to the new computer. As I mention in my initial post, this is where the images are stored and the reason I am moving them to more accessable file names.
"My Book" will be deleted when all files have been moved. Hence that path will no longer exist I believe.
The file structure withing either "MY Book" or Windows is what is creating the where the files are stored. I did not customize that flow because I was unaware that this might incurr any problems.
Thanks!

CS4 Bridge, icon in place of image??

Hi Guys.
I do hope someone out there can help to shed some light on the following problem I am experiencing in CS4 Bridge on my new Mac. The O/S on my Mac is Snow Leopard 10.6.6
My original mac continued to crash and therefore Apple swapped it for a new and up to date model, all the software has been loaded and appears to work ok except that in Bridge when I should see a preview of a Raw image, all I see is the "icon" symbol, a plain piece of paper with a lens aperture in the middle. I have checked all the preference settings with my old Mac and all appears to be ok.
I am currently using Canon 1Ds MK III and 1D MKIV cameras.
Can anyone please tell me how to rectify this matter?
I have been on to the Adobe Tech Support and all they continue to do is pass me from pillar to post. In fact the phone is currently on hold and has been now for in excess of 40mins??? At their cost, it's a ring back!!
Many thanks in anticipation.

Fotographic Images.

Hi.
Thanks for your reply. In answer to your suggestions/questions, yes if I double click on the icon in bridge (where the image should be) the icon/image opens up correctly in the Raw convertor ready for processing. Your second question, have I downloaded plug-in V5.7 - Yes.
Today I have had three technicians on attempting to help me for approximately one hour each and then a techi teamleader for a further 1.5 hours, still no joy.
Adobe have promised to ring me back tomorrow which some new ideas and hopefully a solution!!!
One step we will be taking is to uninstall and reinstall the software completely.
Any ideas/suggestions welcome.
Cheers

Help: Controlling transitions in flash web galleries from CS4/Bridge

Hi all,
Is there a way to control the transitions from one image to the next when generating a flash web gallery? I'm using CS4/Bridge on WinXP.
The fade out/in from one image to the next is very chunky, no matter what the file size. And that's on my local copy before I've uploaded it to the web.
I also haven't found a way to generate web galleries from within CS4 itself (looked at file/automate, as well as window/output, but nothing obvious in either location).
Many thanks for your help!
j

Your procedures are correct. The pertinent features have been moved from PS to Bridge. You can use the old method by finding the respective scripts on your install DVD's Extras section (or downloading them). Regarding transition performance and speed I don't think you can do anything. that is solely determined by the Flash template used for that and if you have no way of creating your own ones, there doesn't seem much point in even worrying about things you may not be able to change. Use it or loose it, if you allow me to put it that way. You can however certainly find enough other gallery tools on the web, they may just require you to change your approach and learn some basic web design stuff...

CS4 Bridge can't see CS3 Photoshop's ACR

Hi all, I have been using CS3 PS + ACR happily for the last year. Yesterday I downloaded the CS4 trial packs for Dreamweaver, Flash, etc, and installed them, along with CS4 Bridge.
CS4 Bridge will send an image to CS3 PS but when I select "Open in Camera Raw" it tells me I have to "launch a qualifying product at least once to include this feature".
Que pasa?
Fortunately, CS3 Bridge is still available, and still has all its cups in the cupboard; but it's rather inconvenient running both.
I would be grateful for any suggestions,
John Ewing

File associations are no problem, and ACR probably has no issues with Bridge unless they've made major changes to the interface, which I doubt. I think it's more likely to be a simple question of one product seeing the other one's licensing rights in the registry.
There is an Adobe Clean Script which will remove all traces of the trial. CS4 Clean Script.
I really think you'll get in a mess with versions mixed up like that!
There are major changes to Bridge and ACR and I really advise you not to get yourself and the computer in a muddle.

CS4 Bridge Can't Complete Loading

When I use CS3 Bridge on my MacBook Pro, all my photos show up as thumbnails. I have installed CS4-Photoshop (Extended) and when I try to launch Bridge in CS4, all I get is the spinning pinwheel and the program never fully loads. Additionally, some thumbnails show up, others do not. It has nothing to do with the type of file. What am I missing here?
