Drag files from bridge to finder?

Am I able to drag files from Bridge to the finder? I'm working on a server and when I drag files from one finder window to another it'll copy those files in the new location. Can I do that visually with Bridge?

Whatever you do in Bridge is instantly reflected in the Finder and vice-versa.  Bridge is only a file browser that shows you what's in the Finder.  You cannot avoid copying a file to the hard disk if its on a server.  Period.  Even from a local disk to another local disk, you must COPY the file.
On a related note:
This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to working across a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See: 
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
  Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
     Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
    Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
  If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • Dragging Files From Bridge CC to File System OSX 10.9 (Mavericks)

    Looks like many others are finding it impossible to drag and drop  elements from program to program.
    I'll join this group of people and say:
    I cannot drag files from Bridge CC to a finder window in OSX 10.9.
    (I blame fruit over mudbrick on this issue.) Has anyone found a workaround?

    If you have a Time Machine backup that is still on Mavericks, use this article to restore it: OS X Yosemite: Revert to a previous OS X version
    If you do not have a Time Machine backup, and your computer shipped with Mavericks (meaning when you first received it, it had Mavericks installed), follow these steps to restore your computer to Mavericks (This will result in the hard drive being erased, so backup the data you still need!)
    1. Turn up your computer's volume to the point where you can hear it.
    2. Reboot the computer, and upon hearing the startup chime, press and hold the Command, Option, and R keys.
    3. You should see a spinning globe and your computer will begin starting up from Internet Recovery. Once this happens, let go of the keys you are holding down.
    4. Once it starts up, chose Disk Utility, then Continue.
    5. Chose your startup disk (typically Macintosh HD), then click Erase.
    6. Format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and then click Erase (make sure you have backed up all the data you still need!).
    7. Once it finishes, quit Disk Utility.
    8. Choose Reinstall OS X, then Continue.
    9. Follow the on-screen instructions to install OS X on the disk you just erased.
    Hope this helps! Reply if you have any questions or need more help!

  • How to drag file from desktop into Finder window?

    I use the four finger gesture to reveal my desktop, then I drag and file and intend to put it in one of the Finder windows that was there before the "reveal desktop" gesture. How do I get the windows to come back while the file is being dragged? There seems to be no hot corner or keyboard shortcut for "unrevealing" the desktop.

    Got it! That was SO EASY...thank you very much

  • Can't drag files from Mini Bridge

    Hi
    It's seems as an issue but I can't drag files from Mini Bridge to workspace thought my colleague can do that. Is it a problem with my configuration or internal bug of photoshop CS6?

    It works now! Yes, I think "Big" Bridge wasn't start what time. Thank you!

  • Iost files from bridge CS2

    I recently upgraded from CS2 to CS6. Foolishly I deleted CS2 Bridge before transferring my images into a safe folder.
    Are they hiding in a folder somewhere?
    I feel so dumb!
    Many thanks!

    As Yammer P and Curt already stated that if you drag files in Bridge they move to the folder you have Bridge pointed at. If you did only uninstall Bridge (instead of deleting it which is usually a bad idea for most applications, always try an uninstall if possible) then there must be a folder on your system containing those files.
    It might not be restricted to your user account, if you had bridge pointed to another location on your system then the files will be there.
    You can try Spotlight for a first go using only the extension or if you no a file name try that.
    But you also might to try the freeware application Easy Find that is capable of doing a far better job in finding. As source select your computer instead of user account because then your whole system will be part of this file, including package content. But Bridge does not use a package content like iPhoto and Aperture do.
    Here is link for Easy Find:
    http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/freeware.html
    But another question, your search means you don't have a back up of your important files?
    A Mac can act as a very safe machine but in general it is not a question if a hard disk fails but rather when. And while computers are acting also pretty straight forward, us people don't. So always have a proper back up system to avoid losing your important files.
    Might not help you now but most of us have also learned this the hard way...

  • My Time Capsule will not work through Time Machine but need to back up because my hard drive is corrupt. I hard-wired it to my MacBook Pro and have been dragging files to capsule in finder window. Will I have problems since it's flashing yellow constantly

    My Time Capsule is constantly flashing yellow and it will not preform periodic back-ups. When I tell it to from the icon on the top task bar, it freezes MacBook...every time. I am now dragging files from internal HD to TC found in Finder after hardwiring it to laptop treating it as an external HD.  Can in trust it to store files and photos as my MacBook is telling me to back-up because my internal HD is corrupt and may need replacing? 
    Thanks in advance.

    A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
    But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
    If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
    Important thing is to get access to the TC.
    The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

  • Can i drag files from one computer to another

    can i drag files from one computer to another

    You can, if you want to transfer files between macs I advies to use AirDrop(wi-fi needs to be enabled). Use shift+command+R, this will take you to your AirDrop in finder. Do this on both computers and you should see the user of the mac where you want to transfer files to.
    If the seconds computer is a Windows, you can alway use a USB Drive, External Drive, through Dropbox(install dropbox on both computers and download the files that you need on the second computer) and if the file is small even mail.

  • Can't Open jpeg files from Bridge CS3 to PhotoShop CS3

    This is really weird. I had a trial version of CS3 and bridge worked fine. That ran out, so I tried CS2 to see if I could get by with the older version. CS2's bridge worked just fine.
    Then I installed a full version copy of CS3 and removed CS2 (to free up space) and for some bizarre reason, I cannot open any files from bridge into Photoshop. It's the CS3 bridge because I clicked on the Help, About Bridge and it showed CS3.
    When I just click "open" under file, it tries to open with Illustrator. When I click, "open with" I get this list: Adobe Illustrator CS3 (default), Firefox 2.0, Internet Explorer 6.00, and Paint 5.1.
    I can't figure out a way to change the default to CS3, and it worked fine with the trials.
    Please advise.

    It was a nice thought. I just did it, and associated all .jpg type files with photoshop, but no such luck in solving issue. I did figure out a way around it that kinda works, but not nearly as convenient. I drag select a group, then hold-click on the group and toggle into Photoshop, then let go. It pastes the group there. However, if I control click to select a group (or deselect within a group), I can't hold-click. So I have to do smaller groups at a time if I want to bypass certain pictures that get grabbed in a bigger group--does that make any sense at all?

  • Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014

    I Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014.  I have uninstalled the programs, and all other versions of PS several times, but no matter what I do, I can't open a raw file I have opened in Bridge, in PS CC 2014. I have to click Open in Photoshop CC 2014 in Bridge.
    Also, on my workstation PC (Win 7 64bit), if I don't open PS prior to opening Bridge, then when I try to open a file from bridge it says it can't run PS on an earlier Operating system than Win 7!
    I have done exactly the same instalation on my notebook, same OS, and everything works perfectly - I just don't understand.

    Guys! This question was asked almost two months ago, and still no-one has replied? I'm still stuck, no matter what I have tried, I cannot find a solution. And please don't ask me to re-install AGAIN, I've done this several times and it simply does not work.

  • Can't open files from Bridge in CS6

    All was good with CS6 until today - it will not open files from Bridge. Jpg and RAW, neither will open, it's driving me bananas! Any suggestions?
    Edit: Problem solved. I had overlooked an old version of PS 7.0 was still in my program files and CS6 Bridge had picked it up as default editor. Deleted PS 7.0 and everything is back to normal. Phew!

    Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
    For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations.  You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default.  Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
    If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it.  It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it.  Also save the serial number in safe place.  Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year.  HD can fail.
    There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version.  Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
    Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions.  So it is safest to leave them be.
    If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed.  Can really foul it up.

  • HT1473 cannot drag files from pc to itunes

    ReMacs, I do not have Snow Leopard Home Folder encrypted with Fire Vault.
    I have not tried doing a search for a particular folder in my Mac while booted into Windows. I’m now also running my Windows BC partition as a virtual machine using VMware Fusion so haven’t restarted into BC lately. I rarely move files between Mac & Windows anyway but, It would be nice if it actually WORKED as it is supposed to work. I moved the files I needed to move from Mac to Windows using a flash drive on Mac while & then removing the flash drive & then restarting into Windows BC. If I needed to do this often it would really be a pain.
    robnick,
    I assume that running that automator would delete my hidden Xauthority file & I could run that each time b4 I wanted to see my Mac home folder files while in windows.
    I think I do not have rot user enabled which is why I cannot find Xauthority in order to delete it.

    I followed the above instructions & at step 5 was stopped since there is no edit button on the lower right.
    BTW, even using the Windows B.C. partition as a virtual machine--I am unable to drag any files from Mac to Windows!
    I decided to test file sharing & went into System Preferences/Sharing and checked the “files” box. Now when running Windows as a VM in Unity mode (Where I can have Windows folders open next to Mac folders) -- I am able to drag Mac files into Windows! So It appears it WAS a file sharing issue!
    I decided to restart into Windows to test. (Instead of running Windows as a VM) I still cannot see any of my Mac Home folders! So the file sharing didn’t help that. I suppose I have simply discovered a work-a-round when I run Windows B.C. as a VM in unity mode.
    I also tried to search the “G” drive in Windows to find any document. No luck, said not indexed, so could not search at all.

  • Importing files from Bridge into a stack in Photoshop

    Hi guys,
    Photoshop has a great function of loading files into a single stack, so as not to have many 10's of files to open. Bridge on the other hand allows for better viewing and navigation through folders etc. Just wondering if it was possible to select all the files you wanted open to a stack from bridge but these then to open in photoshop in a single psd file. It is possible to open all the files from Bridge then run the load in stack from the open files but then you have to close each file manually.
    Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

    Sorry for any confusion. If you imagine using Bridge simply to select the images you want and highlighting them, nothing more, more nothing less. (because of better thumnail previews). These are now the images I want to perform the Photoshop "load files into Stack" script on. The only way this is possible is to the above mentioned, open hte files run the script and then close the files manually but as I have other files open can be very annoying going through them all. The other way is to write down the files names on a piece of paper and then find these files again through Photoshop/open, but as you can understand this is far too time consuming if you have 15-20 files to open at a time. This is basically because although you can choose the files in Bridge you cannot copy that selection to Photoshop. If this were possible it would also sort out the issue as I would have the correct files selected to run the script directky in Photoshop.
    Hope this is a bit clearer.

  • Problem opening Illustrator files from Bridge

    I recently installed cs5.5 and can no longer open my Illustrator files from within Bridge.  When I double click on the file in Bridge, it switches to Illustrator and the hour glass appears for about 5-10 seconds before switching back to the selector tool, but the file never opens???  The only way I can open Illustrator files now, is to do the File>Open command within Illustrator. 
    I'm hesitant to reinstall CS5.5 because it took so long the first time. 
    Any suggestions??
    Thanks
    Paul

    It only seems to affect ai files.  I am able to open psd files from Bridge.
    I just discovered that I am also unable to "place" ai files in InDesign.  The same thing happens - I go to File>Place, find the ai file, double click the ai file, the hour glass appears for a brief moment then disappears, but the file doesn't get placed.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • 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.

  • Unable to Delete Files From Bridge CS4

    I am trying to delete file from bridge and all the sudden I am getting the message that I dont have permisson to delete file. I have done several troubleshooting methods and nothing works. Deleted prefs, cache, checked file permisions, repaired HD permissions, reset workspace, turned off startup scripts, etc..... Anyone had this problem or have any idea what may be causing this?
    Thanks,

    Ok I can delete via bridge using a different user account. So its bridge/user
    account but not sure what the solution is. Would it be best to remove/install
    a new copy of bridge?
    I don't think reinstall Bridge is the solution. You might first want to try
    this:
    Quit Bridge, from user library preference folder delete the Adobe bridge
    plist file manual to the trash.
    Then restart Bridge again with holding down option key and from menu choose
    refresh preferences.
    Try again, if no luck then consider a better user check then only disk
    permissions.
    You can start with the original install disk from MacOs. Restart from this
    disk and start with a check and repair disk and check and repair disk
    permissions.
    You also might consider an other disk utility like Disk Warrior or Disk
    Tools Pro but they are not for free.
    If not the solution you might consider to migrate your user to a new
    account.
