Getting Bridge to open the same folder / sub-folders on launch

In CS3, I had something configured so that when I launched Bridge, the folder with all my image sub-folders opened automatically.
How do I get this to work in CS5 ? I assume it is something in prefs or in the menu , but I don't know what ?
Thanks... Carolyn

Thanks Curt. That helped. I do have Bridge set to automatically start with Windows. I thought that shutting down Windows would cause Bridge to remember the last visited folder since Bridge was closed but I need to right-click on the Bridge icon in the system tray and exit before shutting down Windows. At least now I know why this was happening!

HT1451 how do i get updates put in the same folder as apps???

I was being super organised and due to a large amount of apps i decided to make a library in windows explorer dedicateded to apps - how can i get the updates put in the same folder. i also put my music and books into a seperate folder (not in the itunes music folder)how do i get new songs / new books put there?

Drag the artwork from the artwork window to the desktop. Then, select the song without artwork and drag the artwork to the blank artwork window.

Applescript to open the Choose Folder dialog box and close the message after moving it

I've been trying to figure out how to get the same functionality as the Windows version of Outlook has so that the open message gets closed when it's moved to another folder.
It seems pretty simple to move a message to a pre-defined folder, but I can't find a way to open the Choose Folder dialog so I could choose the destination folder. I've looked through the dictionary, but couldn't find any direct way to activate the Choose Folder dialog. So I decided to use keystrokes for the job. Here's what I came up with:
on run {}
    tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
        try
            set theMessage to first item of (get current messages)
            set folderID to the folder of theMessage
        on error errMsg number errNum
            set dialogReply to display dialog "Please select one or more messages to file away before running this script." buttons {"Abort"} default button 1
            return
        end try
        -- open the Choose Folder dialog
        tell application "System Events" to keystroke "m" using {command down, shift down}
        repeat
            delay 2
            set currentID to the folder of theMessage
            if currentID is not folderID then exit repeat
        end repeat
        -- Close the active message
        tell application "System Events" to keystroke "w" using command down
    end tell
end run
This is my first attempt to do anything with AppleScript..
Now in addition to using keystrokes instead of Outlook built-in commands to open the Choose Folder dialog and to close the message, I also have another problem. Everytime I run the script from AppleScript Editor, everything runs fine, the message gets moved to the folder I choose and the message also gets closed. When I move the script to "~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/Outlook Script Menu Items" and start it from inside Outlook, Outlook gets stuck after opening the Choose Folder dialog and I have to force quit Outlook. I added some debuggin to the script and found out that the script keeps running, but I'm unable to select the folder from Outlook and cannot continue.
Anybody have an idea why this is happening?
Regard,
Kris

Unchecking "Submit crash reports" in the Firefox [[Options window - Advanced panel]] General tab simply toggles the default of the "Tell Mozilla about this crash so they can fix it" check box in the Mozilla Crash Reporter dialog (upon crash). It does not turn off the Crash Reporter itself.

Bridge CS4 always opens in the same folder

Since I upgraded to Photoshop CS4, Bridge always opens in the same
folder. It used to open up whatever folder I was working on last.
There must be a setting somewhere to tell Bridge to open the last
visited folder but I can't seem to find it. Any ideas?

Thanks Curt. That helped. I do have Bridge set to automatically start with Windows. I thought that shutting down Windows would cause Bridge to remember the last visited folder since Bridge was closed but I need to right-click on the Bridge icon in the system tray and exit before shutting down Windows.

Starting with the same folder automaticaly any time opening bridge

Hello everybody, is it possible to configure adobe bridge that way that each time I open it bridge is going to start with the same folder? Or can I tell bridge to use the folder that was opened when closing bridge the last time?
Thank you very much for your help.

Bridge always points to the last folder location that you used. So, each time you open Bridge, it will start with the same folder location.
However, this can be reset by resetting Bridge preferences. Resetting Bridge’s Preferences « Julieanne Kost's Blog

How do I get my mac to reopen the same folder I am working in?

I use multiple files of Excel or Word on my iMac and when I go to open I want it to open to the last folder I was in. This worked this way with using Excel or Word on a PC. How do I get it to do the same thing on the Mac?

Apps will manage this on their own. I don't beleive there is a system-wide setting.
For example, Office sets a default folder location for user files. The first save (in a session) of a new document will start there. Once I've saved a new document in a location, Word uses that as the default starting location for any subsequent documents I create in that session unless I change it. Is yours not doing this?
There is a program called DefaultFolder that will manage a global default location (I think). I don't use it, so I don't know if it works in Mavericks or if it will solve your dilemma.

I am getting an error message that "no photos could be found on this device" when I plug in my ipad to my windows 8. I open the dcim folder and it shows up empty, although I clearly have photos on my ipad. I was able to do this just last week. HELP!

Help, I am trying to get my pictures from my ipad to my computer (windows 8) and I get the message that "no photos could be found on this device." When I try to open the dcim folder, it shows up empty. What can I do? I have previously been able to import pictures easily.

Hi, I had the same problem. I finally figured it out. Plug in the USB cord to your ipad, but beofre plugging it into your computer make sure your ipad is not in the locked or sleep mode. Once I did this, my photos showed up and started downloading. Hope that helps you!

I cannot get Bridge to open - I get the message that "the operation could not be completed"

I cannot get Bridge to open in my new CS5 Suite - I get the message that "the operation could not be completed." Photoshop comes up fine, but no Bridge. I have a MacBook Pro. Thanks.

I am having the same issue.
MacBook Pro, OSX 10.6.4
Photoshop CS5, Bridge CS5
It will not open, I have reinstalled, cleared the cache, & reset preferences, + installed the patch.
I do have Bridge CS3 that came with my PS Elements, & that works. Do not have any Norton, or other software running.

Cannot open CS6 Bridge. Always the same ERROR: Bridge has a problem and cannot read the cache

Cannot open CS6 Bridge. Always the same ERROR: Bridge has a problem and cannot read the cache

Try this. This is for CS6 but substitue CC and Bridge 6.
~library/caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6 and inhere should be 2 files:
Adobe Bridge Plug-in Cache
and the folder called Cache. Inhere should be 4 folders called '254', '1024', 'data' and 'full'
All those folders carry the content of the respective quality of the thumbs and preview as well as 100 % cache and Bridge database.
Any way, Since you have not used Bridge you have no relevant amount of cache and I would suggest you quit both PS and Bridge and manual delete both the items (plug in and folder called cache at the end of the Bridge CS6 path mentioned above.
(both files will refresh itself after a restart of Bridge).
To be on the save side also visit in same user library the folder Preferences and look for the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist" (yes it is Bridge 5 that comes with CS6, all Adobe apps have their own version number and they are presented in the same Suite version. CS6 has PS version 13 and Bridge version 5 )
also drag this file to the trash.
Then hold down option key (alt) while starting Bridge and this should give you the option to reset the preferences as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Choose reset prefs and try again.

'On open' only works in the same folder?

I'm running an 'On open' script but it only works when the folder to be processed that placed onto the AS is in the same folder.
Is there a workaround?

I'm not familiar with ImageMagick, but there are a couple of issues with your script.
1) The on open handler takes the files dropped on the application as it's arguments, but you are using the Finder's currently selected items.
2) File paths that might contain spaces should be quoted, or your shell script will break when it tries to do something with the space delimited items.
If you are just trying to create a text string that contains all of the (selected or dropped) items, something like the following should work (I just used a dialog to show what the shell script would be - you should test before using mogrify on original files):
Finder selection:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
set upath to ""
tell application "Finder" to repeat with f in (get selection)
set chosenfile to quoted form of POSIX path of (f as text)
set upath to upath & chosenfile & space
end repeat
display dialog "do shell script " & "/opt/local/bin/mogrify -format jpg " & upath & "*.psd"
beep 2
</pre>

<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;

width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;

set upath to ""
repeat with f in TheItems
set chosenfile to quoted form of POSIX path of (f as text)

end repeat

end open

Iphoto shows two photo libraries with the same name, one in small letters the other in all capital letters. they both open the same library and the only one in my computer. How do delete the capital letrs one as the one in the pictures folder is in

In my iPhoto application when I select switch libraries It shows 2 libraries with the same name, but one has the name is in Capital letters.
They both open the same library which is in the Pictures folder. This is the only library I can see and the name is not in capital letters?
How do I get rid of the one in capital letters

What is your iPhoto version?
when I select switch libraries It shows 2 libraries with the same name, but one has the name is in Capital letters.
In the Library Chooser Panel look for the pathes to the two duplicate libraries. You will see the location of the libraries in the path bar at the bottom of the window when you select one of the libraries. Does it show both libraries in the same folder?

How can I open multiple instances of the same folder and web browser in different desktops in Lion?

I've selected "none" for association but it doesn't work. In other words, I have a Dropbox folder on my desktop. I'd like to be able to open that same folder using the same shortcut on different Lion desktops. However, whenever I try to use the same shortcut on a different desktop, it switches to the one where it's already open. Same problem with web browsers; if I try to just click on a web browser to create a new window, it will take me back to the other desktop.
I didn't have this problem before I had to replace my hard drive and update everything again. I am aware of the "restart Finder" option as well as associating programs with individual desktops. All of the things in question are currently selected as "none."
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just set Safari's option to None. That is I right clicked on the dock, selected options, and chose none. Also, in Mission Control's tab of System Preferences I clicked Off When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for that application. That let me open a new Safari window no matter what desktop I was in. But I had to do both. Just setting the desktop option to none didn't seem to do it. Finder seems to work okay with just the none option set.

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem.

I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem. Uninstalled it. Still have the problem with Firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then? That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

There is only one file to download - which one depends on your system (32-bit or 64-bit).
These are the trial versions but will convert to the full version when you supply your serial number.
