Import Bug in Bridge

Hi. I've just spent all day trying to work out why I couldn't import from bridge for various files. I finally worked out that Bridge fails to import to premiere properly when the file is on my external drive. The same file imports fine from my C drive fine. The extrenal drive isn't locked in any way so I guess this is a bug?

Not an auspicious way to start the year, is it?
First, you're posting to the Bridge Macintosh forum but refer to your "C drive", which means you're on Windoze.
Second, you give absolutely no information about your setup.
When you do find your way to the Bridge Windows forum, make sure to give them exact details about your OS, your exact version of Bridge, etc. There are some clever folks over there, but no mind readers or clairvoyants.
Happy New Year to you and good luck.

How do I find images in LR 2.4 (imported from CS4 Bridge) that have color labels already assigned In CS4 Bridge? I have set both Bridge and LR color labels text to match (eg Green for green, etc).

How do you find images in LR 2.4 that have been imported from CS4 Bridge and have been assigned a color label in Bridge? I have set both LR 2.4 and my CS4 Bridge to match the text for each color to be the same (eg. Green for green, etc), and the filter search in LR 2.4 shows that a label has been assigned, but I am unable to identify and locate the specific images in LR 2.4 that have had a color label assigned from CS4 Bridge. I have tried to search via attribute, metadata, text, etc...Is it necessary to re-assign color labels all over again, image by image, in LR 2.4, or is there a way to automatically have the color labels assigned in CS4 Bridge be assigned and searchable to the images after they have been imported into the LR 2.4 catalogue from the Bridge program?

I closed both programs and re-imported photos and re-tried the action of having LR read the XMP metadata from the CS4 files, and it seems to work now just fine...don't know why now and not before, but thanks much. Is there a way to have LR do this automatically upon import of images from CS4? I tried to do this with an import metadata preset, but no luck. It seems as if I can only do this once the images have already been imported into LR, and then to have to have LR read the metadata from the CS4 Bridge files. thanks gain.

Shortcut-Bug in Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3)

I noticed a bug in Bridge CS6: the cmd-key doesn't work in the file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...).
This bug only appears in the file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata via alt+i in Photoshop CS6, the shortcuts e.g. copy and paste from one field to another works.
The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).

I can reproduce this issue in Bridge CS6. Thanks for reporting!

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

How To import collections from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC

How To import collection from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC??
thx

How To import collection from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC??
A collection is a bunch of aliases to the original files in their original place. If you have upgraded to CC on the same machine you can use the same collection, on a different machine it will possible not find the correct location again.
On a Mac the path for the saved collections is : User / library/ application Support / Adobe/ BridgeCS6 / collections. Inhere are the saved collections showing the names you gave them. You can copy these collection files to the same location in Bridge CC.
If you have a different machine you best first choose the collection and add a keyword with the name of the collection to all the files in this particular collection so you can use the find command to easily recreate the collection on your new machine.
Maybe someone with more knowledge of Windows can show you the correct path but it should be something similar as on a Mac.

Nwrfc 0.0.5 with important bug fix!

I have just pushed version 0.0.5 of the new gem to rubygems.org (you can also access the latest repo at GitHub).
0.0.5 introduces an important bug fix in Table#each. Previously only the first row would continuously be returned. Now you can actually treat a Table like an Enumerable!

I believe I found an import bug in LR 5.4

I believe I've uncovered an import bug in Lightroom 5.4 under Mavericks. I noticed a folder with 19 photos and videos, but LR was only showing 18. So I tried synchronizing the folder, and still only 18 were found. So, in the import screen I unchecked "Don't import suspected duplicates", and it still would not import. So, I removed the folder containing the photos from LR, then re-imported them, and still only 18 photos!
So, the .jpg file listed here will NOT import into LR regardless of my efforts. The mp4 imports just fine. It seems like a bug pertaining to files with the same name but different extensions, or something similar. Here are the file names:
bernie3_blue_baby_shopping_walmart-09-2.mp4 - IMPORTS OK
bernie3_blue_baby_shopping_walmart-09-2.jpg - WILL NOT IMPORT

I’m not sure it’s a bug but rather by design. For example if you do external editing from Lightroom in Photoshop the word Edit is automatically added to the tiff or PSD file with the same name. Simply change the file name for the jpeg and it will import. LR does permit jpeg and raw files with the same name but it requires enabling in the prefs. I assume there is no similar pref setting for videos, as they would always be numbered separately when importing directly from a camera card; so the situation would never usually arise.

How to import keywords into Bridge CS6?

I have hundreds of keywords I've included in Templates and I want to add the keywords to the Kaywords panel in cs6 bridge. How can I import them so they appear as individual keywords which I can then categorize into groups and subgroups? Thanks from Kodiak, Alaska.

Hi Marion,
Have you seen this help document? It goes over the basics of Bridge keyword support.

And here's quick post that walks thru importing steps (I think it's still relevant to Bridge CS6).

IDML Import Bug?

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone can reproduce what appears to be a CS4/CS5 IDML import bug.
I typed
11
22
33
44
55
(first 3 digits in bold) then tagged "22" as an XML element before exporting an IDML file.
When the IDML file is imported, I get
11
22
33
44
55
(all digits in boldface except for the trailing 2.)
The problem seems to be on the import side of CS4/CS5 since the exported IDML looks okay to me:
<ParagraphStyleRange AppliedParagraphStyle="ParagraphStyle/$ID/NormalParagraphStyle">
 <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]" FontStyle="Bold">
 <Content>11</Content>
 
 </CharacterStyleRange>
 <XMLElement Self="di2i7i6" MarkupTag="XMLTag/Story">
 <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]" FontStyle="Bold">
 <Content>2</Content>
 </CharacterStyleRange>
 <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]">
 <Content>2</Content>
 </CharacterStyleRange>
 </XMLElement>
 <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]">
 
 <Content>33</Content>
 
 <Content>44</Content>
 
 <Content>55</Content>
 
 </CharacterStyleRange>
</ParagraphStyleRange>
Comments anyone?

Hello Larry,
i am the developer of the IDMLlib http://idmllib.com/ a Java library which is able to read/modify/create IDML.
I have also noticed some strange behavior regarding the importing of IDML, where the order of elements affect the parsing of the IDML in CS4/CS5.
My first thought was, i have created an invalid IDML, but the IDML Relax NG compact schema is very explicit, order doesn´t matter.
The best example i have at hand, which is very easy to reproduce is the TabList. A valid tablist attached to ParagraphStyleRange for example looks like this:
<TabList type="list">
 <ListItem type="record">
 <Alignment type="enumeration">LeftAlign</Alignment>
 <AlignmentCharacter type="string">,</AlignmentCharacter>
 <Leader type="string"></Leader>
 <Position type="unit">144</Position>
 </ListItem>
</TabList>
If you change this by moving the Position to the top, which is no problem regarding the schema which doesn´t enforce a strict order of the elements:
element Alignment { enum_type, TabStopAlignment_EnumValue }&
element AlignmentCharacter { string_type, xsd:string }&
element Leader { string_type, xsd:string }&
element Position { unit_type, xsd:double })
So if you change this example to this, and reimport the IDML into CS4/CS5 INDD the <Position/> will not be parsed and you wont see a TabList
<TabList type="list">
 <ListItem type="record">
 <Position type="unit">144</Position>
 <Alignment type="enumeration">LeftAlign</Alignment>
 <AlignmentCharacter type="string">,</AlignmentCharacter>
 <Leader type="string"></Leader>
 </ListItem>
</TabList>
If you export this again as IDML the <Position/> if set to 0
I circumvented this problem by forcing the creation of TabList Items with a constructor that will only allow to create TabListItems with all values present and therefore i can force the order of the created childs. But i think this will not be the only problem where parsing doesn´t do what it is supposed to do.
There has been a posting from a guy complaining about different import results regarding the attribute order of IDML element:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/637711
I will try to reproduce the behavior you decribed.
Cheers, Andreas

FB3 Beta 3 - another organize imports bug

I'm getting lucky :-) Here is another organize imports bug in
FB3 Beta3...
If you have some simple hierarchy where base class defines
public (or protected) method, and sub class tries to override this
method you will encounter this bug. Let say that base class looks
like this:
package test {
import flash.display.Shape;
public class BaseClass extends Shape {
public function BaseClass() {
public function myMethod():void {
trace("In BaseClass.myMethod()");
and that sub class looks like this
package test {
public class SubClass extends BaseClass {
public function SubClass() {
super();
Now, if you try to override myMethod() from BaseClass and
start typing in subclass something like
override public function m
and use Ctrl+Space, FB will insert appropriate method but it
will also insert errorneous import statement like this:
import test.BaseClass.myMethod;
So you will end up with sub class which looks like following:
package test {
import test.BaseClass.myMethod;
public class SubClass extends BaseClass {
public function SubClass() {
super();
override public function myMethod():void {
Wrong import is correctly marked as error but issuing
"organize import" does not remove it so it must be removed
manually.
Regards,
Damir Murat
PS: Sorry for bad code formatting but there is no option for
inserting in-line code and attach code is a little bit
awkward.

Damir Murat,
Did you already file a bug for this? If not, would you mind
adding it to the public bug base so we can track the issue.
Thanks,
Peter

Address Book contact importing bug

Bug reproducing sequence:
1) Create any smart-group in the Address Book
2) Double-click that group's name to rename it
3) Command-Tab from Address Book leaving it in status waiting to enter new smart-group's name
4) Double click on any .vcf file to import a new contact into Address Book
5) You'd be forwarded back to Address Book with a window offering to confirm contact's import
Bug itself:
Pressing the Add button actually imports a new contact to the Address Book, but does not close this pop-up window. As a result you can create many copies of the same contact before you notice the problem and close this window pressing Cancel button.
Testing the same sequence on MacMini and iMac caused creation of many Unnamed contacts and did not import a new contact at all.

I found the solution in a different post in the community.
You need to go into yr address book on yr MAC. Edit each contact 1 by 1... Cut (Cmd X) and copy (Cmd V) each pix back in... When you synch yr MAC and iPhone again, pix miraculously appear in Contacts and when you get a call from one of them.
Not a fancy solution but works!...

Bug in Bridge CS6: Orientation tag not always properly interpreted

The Orientation flag in the EXIF metadata can assume eight different integer values with their meanings defined as follows:
1: frame's 1st pixel row = picture's top; frame's 1st pixel col = picture's left
2: frame's 1st pixel row = picture's top; frame's 1st pixel col = picture's right
3: frame's 1st pixel row = picture's bottom; frame's 1st pixel col = picture's right
4: frame's 1st pixel row = picture's bottom; frame's 1st pixel col = picture's left
5: frame's 1st pixel row = picture's left; frame's 1st pixel col = picture's top
6: frame's 1st pixel row = picture's right; frame's 1st pixel col = picture's top
7: frame's 1st pixel row = picture's right; frame's 1st pixel col = picture's bottom
8: frame's 1st pixel row = picture's left; frame's 1st pixel col = picture's bottom
The values in bold typeface (1, 3, 6, 8) are pure rotations only; they are properly interpreted in Bridge CS6 Beta. The values in regular typeface (2, 4, 5, 7) are rotations plus mirrorings; they are properly interpreted in Bridge's Content pane, i. e. where the thumbnails are. In the Preview pane, however, the display is wrong, reflecting the rotations only but not the mirrorings. When opening a mirrored picture in Camera Raw 7.0 or Photoshop CS6 Beta, it will show up correctly again (i. e. with the orientation tag properly applied), so only Bridge's Preview pane is affected, apparently.
By the way, the same bug also is present in Bridge CS5 (and maybe in earlier versions, too, but I didn't check).

Result: In the regular keyword list (dc:subject), the updated keywords appear as expected. In the hierarchical keyword list (lr:hierarchicalSubject), however, the keywords appear as originally imported, ignoring all the subsequent changes. So now dc:subject and lr:hierarchicalSubject are inconsistent.
Not sure I do understand your method correctly but to my knowledge the import and export functions for file info and Keywords are meant for the whole template or the whole keyword list.
If you open a file and start removing and adding you should do so in your keyword list. But how you changed is not very clear to me.
When a keyword is in italic it means it is not persistent and with right click menu you can do so to add it to the list. If you remove a keyword that in your list has a sub keyword it does not automatically change in a parent keyword.

Error message when trying to import photos into Bridge CS5

Hi, when trying to import photos from a card reader into Bridge CS5, I click "get Photos" and get the following error message: "cannot obtain all files from this device. Please ensure the device is connected properly, or that the battery is charged". It imports a small selection of the images from the sd card but that is all. I'm currently using a Windows 7 desktop computer with plenty of ram.
Any suggestions?

Hi station_two, thanks for your quick response.
I can confirm that its not the card reader/cable, usb port, defective sd card or the computer itself. I have already eliminated all these potential culprits through trial and error using different several ports/cards/readers and even a different computer (although not into bridge).
I am able to copy the photos from the same card/card reader into Lightroom on the same computer (incidentally, when using Lightroom it uses the term 'Import photos'!)
I am using a number of Panasonic Lumix Micro 4/3s cameras (GH1/GF1/GX1). The sd cards have a combination of RAW and JPEG and the problem exists whether using 4GB or 16GB cards. I have plenty of space left on my hard drive and as stated, I'm running a fast desktop PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS) so I'm certain this is not the issue.
Could this possibly be a problem with the cache?

Importing material from Bridge to AE (beginner)

In a recent AE tutorial I was enjoying, I was prompted to go to animation and browse presets to try them out, which launches Bridge. When I double clicked the preset I wished to use, AE displayed a message: After Effects error: Can't import file, unsupported filetype or extension. The extension after every effect in Bridge is: ffx
I tired calling Adobe, but held endlessly...
Thanks!!!

Animation presets aren't files that you import. They are collections of layer properties that you apply to layers. Applying them from Bridge is (I think) a pain; it's much easier to apply them through the Effects & Presets panel. See this page for information about applying animation presets (and effects). See this page for an overview of what animation presets are and how you work with them.
But, really, since you're new to After Effects, I very strongly recommend that you begin from the beginning and work your way through the getting-started resources here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2010/01/getting-started-with-after-eff.html

Animation presets import trough Adobe Bridge Browser

Hi guys,
I am sure that in previous versions of AE I could "Browse Presets" trough Bridge, double click on selected preset and it would import into AE.
Now, in CC and CC2014, when I browse presets, and double click on selected one it shows error (" Unsupported file type or extension").... then, I have to go manually, trough "Apply animation preset", find the preset and load it....
Any solution???
Thanks!

Make sure scripts are enabled for CC and CC14 in Bridge Preferences:
Restart Bridge, select the Timeline panel then select the layer you want to apply the preset to and double click.
