EMF files have no preview in Bridge CS6

Actually, haven't had EMF (WMF) previews since CS2 or something. Surprised that such a robust viewer can't manage a preview of such a common file. Is there any kind of fix? Win7.

Sorry I can't help, but…
Common file?  I've been using computers in the course of my work since the 1960s, and I had to do a Google search to figure out what an "EMF file" is.  Just saying…
Remember that Bridge began as nothing more than Photoshop's Image File Browser.  It has been somewhat adapted (or is it just "adopted"?) for the totally artificial "suite" concept.
Inconsistency between or among applications in the artificial "suites" should come as no surprise.
The "suite" concept is a fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types.  The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.
The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.

  • I have problem with adobe bridge cs6. Every time I open it Bridge tells me to Purge Cache. I have CS

    I have problem with adobe bridge cs6. Every time I open it Bridge tells me to Purge Cache. I have CS6 on two computers and it works fine on one of them. I have tried to reinstall it without succeeding to fix the problem. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution to it?
    "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation."

    You must have a Mac.  Try this.
    Quit Bridge, from user library (NOT system and root library) preferences folder find and delete the com.adobe.bridge5.plist file manual. Do this also in same user library caches folder (Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6) and inhere find and the folder called 'cache' and drag it to the trash.
    restart Bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences, then try again.

  • In PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but PSD, DNG and CR2 files don't. Also, no thumbnail below the file list.

    Working in PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but psd files just have white sheet of paper as preview.  I have to open the file to be able to see it.  Also, there is no thumbnail of the file below the file list.Surely, there's a setting that needs to be changed. I did not have this problem with Elements 12. This is a real bother because I have to use Lightroom to see all the file types. It seems as if Elements is using the standard Windows file loader that can't show previews of file types it doesn't know including .PSD, DNG and CR2. Is that a bug or did I do something wrong? Thanks for any help.

    I am using Windows 7 64 bits. Working in the editor, I never use the organizer. The screen above is not the same at all that I got in Elements 12, it was completely different and showed me a thumbnail below the listing when I single clicked on one of the files. In Elements 12, I also could see  a thumbnail of all the file types, not only the jpegs. It is as if the loader is the regular Windows used anywhere, not the right one for Elements. I hope someone understands my problem.. Thanks.

  • Cdr file preview in Bridge CS6

    Anyone knows why Bridge CS6 wont display larger previews of cdr files?
    The previous version I had (CS4) handled cdr files without  any problem.
    Thanks

    Sorry I don't have an answer either, szf611.  In fact, I came here looking for an answer to this myself.
    I had a vague memory that the ability to view CDRs might have come from a Bridge extension, rather than being a native capability, but I could be wrong about that.  (Maybe I'm thinking of the "Bridge Here" script?)  I don't know if it would have come from Adobe or Corel.
    If I find any solution, obviously I'll post back.  You haven't found any more info since opening the thread, have you?

  • Problems reading .xmp sidecar files after moving .nefs in bridge CS6

    Problem with CS6 beta.  Whenever I move a set of edited (using LR4 with metadata saved to folder) .nef files in bridge to new folder, the .xmp files are not recognised in bridge.  They are thre if you look in Windows explorer.  If I then find the files in LR4 and resave the adjustments, then becomes visible again.  Consistent error on each attempt in different folders.  Move was via Ctrl A + dragging in bridge.  .nefs were form a Nikon D3.

    Hi Trevor, thanks for replying.  Yes, as I said moving files directly in bridge.  The standard functionality (since I have been using bridge back in CS2) was to move the .xmp files along with the .nef files (although you only see the .nef files directly in bridge).  When I say not reading .xmp files I mean that none of the adjustments are visible in the target bridge folder, equally the icons you would normally see on the top RHS showing adjustments have been made are no longer visibile (remember that I have cheked using windows explorer that the .xmp files did succesfully migrate to the target folder).  Having been using CS5 bridge on the same machine for several years and have never had this lack of functinonality, therefore I am reporting it as a potential bug in CS6 beta bridge.
    I should also confirm that before they were moved, no problems at all in opening the .nef files in camea raw 7.0 and all edits honoured.

  • Not able to move files to new folders in Bridge CS6

    Hello all.  I am trying to move files around through bridge CS6 but I keep getting :
    " The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permissions".  How do I fix this annoyance? This is really screwing with my work flow and forcing me not to bother using Bridge.
    Thanks in advance.

    This is really an OS problem as it sets permission levels for operations.   What OS?
    If using Win OS and an external drive, you can start Bridge by right clicking and choosing "run as administrator".

  • I have NEF files that won't preview in Bridge CS6

    I shot two D3s last night and downloaded both cards.  One the NEF files preview like normal and the other has NEF files that won't preview but open in Photoshop just fine.  Anyone know why they won't preview?

    You could try purging the Bridge Cache it may be messed up.  Edit>Preference>Cache>Purge Cache

  • RX100 ARW files not visible in preview in Bridge CS6

    When looking at Canon RAW files (.CR2) I can see the previews fine in Preview. Not the same for RX100 arw files.  I can see the thumbnails ,  However preview window shows an icon with "exec" in it. Also, adjustments made in Camera Raw do not show in the thumbnails as with other my Canon 5D II raw files.  Help???
    Message was edited by: Sparros

    Thanks for the response.
    I updated to the latest version and was able to view the thumbnails in Bridge - someting I was not able to do until the update - the preview window still shows the green and grey "exec" icon or a white icon with arw under it.  I was hoping there is a simple fix in preferences or something like that.....I am stuck!
    Does anyone else have the same issue?

  • When I try open a batch of files in camera raw using Bridge CS6, an error message appears.

    The only work around appears to be to then choose to open these files in PhotoShop CS6. This wil then display the adjustment screen in the normal way.
    Presumably this is a bug.  Any other suggestions.

    I get the same thing in Mac OSX 10.7.3.  When I control-click on a preview and select 'open in camera raw' I get a dialog that says it's not enabled and requires a qualifying app to have been launched first:
    I've launched bridge and photoshop and if I open an app from the mini-bridge within photoshop, camera raw is launched.

  • Help with InDesign spread previews in Bridge CS6

    Our company is updating to CS6 and needs to be able to view InDesign files as spreads as we did in CS3. We produce many catalogs a year and each spread is a separate file. We use Bridge (CS3) to view the entire catalog at once. Now, with CS6, we can only see one page of the document, even though the preference is set to 2 pages in InDesign. We need an update. Please help!

    I don't believe so. It's how Bridge displays InDesign files. In CS6, it's showing a single page and not the full spread that it used to. There is a preferance in Indesign that you can set the size and number of pages to preview. It's set to 2, which is the default.
    This is a critical feature that needs to be restored. The link for the feature Request is not working, nor is the reporting a bug link.
    After reading someone's comment, it appears that InDesign does not write the appropriate meta data for bridge to preview the spread, so perhaps it is an InDesign issue. Nevertheless, it has not been fixed since 2011!
    How can I get through to Adobe???

  • M2t files won't preview in Bridge 4.0.1.26

    I'm using Bridge that came with After Effects CS5.  Thumbnails for m2t files appear normally but do not play in the preview.  I can drag and drop a m2t file into AE and they work just fine so I must have the proper codecs.  Is there something I'm missing here or is Bridge just behind the curve when it comes to m2t files?  I also note that Mocha for AE won't touch m2t files either which is a drag...but that's a question for another forum.

    I am having the same problem with HDV, MPEG files and M4V files.  AVI's, Quicktime, MPEG-1 files preview and have thumbnails.
    Seems to be a connection between Bridge and Windows Media Player.
    Hope we hear soon.

  • Older .mov files have no previews

    Trying to see if ANYONE else has seen this problem:
    I was digging through my media archive disk and noticed something very odd: maybe three quarters of my older .mov files show only a generic icon in the finder, and trying to use the Quick Look (or preview) feature will only play the SOUND from the file.  When played within QT 7.6.6 Pro, the files are still intact.  Is this a harbinger of the problems people have been complaining about with QT 7.7?
    Add: attempting to re-save the files (to see if the format has changed between versions of QT) netted the same set of features, so it would appear that the difficulty may be with Finder, not QT.  As NOT ALL files are affected, I'm not sure what's going on.  Looking at the ages of the files, there's no hard and fast correlation between what the file was created (or last modified) and whether or not it displays correctly in Finder.  Worse, these clips all came from the same rip of the same DVD originally.  I have no clue what's going on, but it's making it difficult for me to separate out video clip from sound clip files in my working directories. 
    Ah!  That may be it.  The files that are displaying without video in finder may have last been worked on in QT using the Export as AIFF command.  But that shouldn't have affected the parent file.  Pretty glaring mistake if that's it.

    Same problem here.  But I'm using QuickTime X and Lion.  Didn't notice anything until I upgraded to 10.7.1.   I was thinking it was related to that, but I guess not if you're having the same issue on 10.6.8.

  • Tif files have generic icon in bridge

    Hi,
    I can see the proper icon in the finder os 10.9.2 but only the generic tif icon in bridge. PSD work fine.
    these tifs were created in Lightroom 5
    I tried logging in as a different user, no change.
    thanks for the help.

    Don't use Lightroom, but have heard that you can create several different versions of files, some not readable outside of LR.  So check that out.

  • Working in PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but psd files just have white sheet of paper as preview.  I have to open the file to be able to see it.  Also, there is no thumbnail of the file below the file list.Surely, there's

    The title says it all.

    I am using Windows 7 64 bits. Working in the editor, I never use the organizer. The screen above is not the same at all that I got in Elements 12, it was completely different and showed me a thumbnail below the listing when I single clicked on one of the files. In Elements 12, I also could see  a thumbnail of all the file types, not only the jpegs. It is as if the loader is the regular Windows used anywhere, not the right one for Elements. I hope someone understands my problem.. Thanks.

  • No image preview in Bridge and unable to write meta data files

    I recently converted my CR2 files to DNG files using the DNG converter. For the most part it worked. However, for some files, something went wrong. When I looked at a folder of newly converted dng files using Bridge, I noticed that some files didn't have a preview. These same files won't allow meta data to be written either. Are these files corrupt? What is wrong and how do I fix it? I tried to open these files in CR and they do open. Wierd thing is that if I open the file in CR, then click save file as dng, it will then show a preview in Bridge.

    Yes. The original RAW file (CR2) allows me to write metadata. In fact, if I write the metadata to the CR2 file first, then convert to DNG, all the metadata is there - even for the files that at first do not have a preview in Bridge.
    But the reason I'm converting to DNG is because I want my original archive files to be in a non-propriatory format.
    Even though I can get around the current issues of no preview and writing metadata, my main concern is whether or not there is a problem with the conversion. I don't want to find out later that the file is corrupt. I'm worried that the issues with previewing and writing metadata are symptoms of some bigger problem.
    Any ideas?
