Import collections from Bridge CS5 to CS6

Hi
I have a system of collections organized in Bridge CS5 that I would like to continue having in CS6. I see a handful of CS5 preferences being imported as I installed CS6, but not the collections. Any tricks to this?

I have copied the Collections folder from Bridge CS5 to CS6 (in Snow Leopard).
The images are all there, but the order has changed.
Is there a better way to do this?
I can't open both versions of Bridge at the same time in order to copy the proper order....
I suppose i could print screenshots of the CS5 collection and then correct it in CS6.
There must be a better way! This could take hours.

    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.

    Have the same problem every upgrade. Having to build up my Collections and Favorites from scratch.  (Keywords can be exported, so these are OK). Are there CS5 files i can copy into CS6? Gratefull for any advice. Tom

    Hello! It would be nice to have a migration script in Bridge too...
    In the past, there were folders you could copy, but given the database changes, I'm not sure, I need to check first with the team.
    On a Mac, it is in the collections folders in ~Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/Bridge CS5/Collections/
    PC(XP): C:Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS5\collections
    VIsta/7: user/app data/roaming/Adobe/Bridge CS5/Collections
    Hope this helps

  • Compilation migration from Bridge CS5 to CS6

    I have a number of compilations saved in CS5 and would like to be able to view these in Bridge CS6.  Is there any way of transferring these without having to rebuild them one at a time?  Any help would be appreciated.
    TIA
    Dave

    Thanks for clarifying.  Unfortunately I don't make extensive use of collections myself, so I haven't looked into where the collection lists are stored, and I somehow I recall that only Smart Collections are stored as such saved files.
    You may want to start a new thread with the term COLLECTIONS prominently displayed in the title of the original post to attract the attention of the Bridge experts to this issue, otherwise your question may go unnoticed.  Just a thought.

  • How to Transfer Colletions from Bridge CS5 to Bridge CS6?

    How to Transfer collections from Bridge in CS5 to CS6?  I tried to copy my collections to the new Bridge but for some reason I do not see an option.  I tried putting on Keywords on my collections so that I can pull them up again but for some reason it won't write keywords anymore?  What is the best approach to transfer collections.  Thanks.  KC

    What is the best approach to transfer collections.  Thanks.  KC
    On a Mac both the keyword file and collections are stored in the user library (by default hidden in OSX lion) in the user account.
    The path on Mac:
    user / library / Application Support / Adobe. Inhere you should see both Bridge CS5 and bridge CS6 if you have upgraded while the older system is still on your system.
    In Bridge CS5 you see several folders and files. The keyword file that has all your in CS5 created keywords is called 'Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml' and the folder called Collections should have all your saved collections in it.
    You can copy the keyword file to the same location in CS6 and also the content of the collections folder can be copied to the CS6 folder.
    After restarting Bridge CS6 they should reflect the correct collections and keywords.
    Don't know the path on Windows but it might be similar.

  • Image Processor from Bridge CS5

    Lately, I have been getting this error message when trying to access the Image Processor (PS CS5)from Bridge CS5: "Sorry something major happened and I can't continue". I called Adobe support and was told that it might be related to third party plugins. The puzzling part is that I have been using all of the above with no problems for over a year . . I am using a Mac Pro, OS 10.6.4, with 10 G of RAM, and have the latest updates to PS and Bridge. Any suggestions?

    One way around the problem would be to use a different processor..
    There is the New Image Processor Pro and Dr Browns 1-2-3 processor @

  • Problem with Exporting from Bridge CS5 to Social Media sites

    Hi Adobe users,
    I'm a new French user of CS5 Bridge. My question is :
    Is it possible for me to export pictures from Bridge to Social Media Sites like Facebook & Flickr ?
    This topic (http://www.tipsquirrel.com/exporting-from-bridge-cs5-to-social-media-sites/) introduce me to exporting files but I haven't got the modules who were necessary for exporting. After, I do a Check For Update, without results. So I have another question :
    What are the steps in order to have the necessary modules ?
    Thanks Julien BARREAU
    Sorry for my bad english.

    You can't. The export module (btw gone in Bridge CC) has never worked properly for all social media. The reason they gave was due to rights management in different countries. It only worked in a few countries for Facebook.

  • Unable to open camera raw 6.0 from Bridge CS5

    I just Installed photoshop CS5 and I am unable to view and open my NEF files in Camera Raw from Bridge CS5.  It worked perfectly fine with Bridge CS4 and Camera Raw 5.1.0.30.  Anyone has any suggestion other than using my old Bridge CS4. I have mas OS X 10.6.3 installed on my computer.
    Many Thanks

    You'll need to confirm that the Camera Raw plug-in was correctly installed so that both Photoshop _AND_ Bridge can access it. For Mac the only correct location that is should be installed is: the root level Library (not the user Library). Inside of the Library look at Application Support/ Adobe/Plug-ins/ CS5/ File Formats/ Camera Raw.plugin
    If the Camera Raw plug-in isn't there and/or any of these folders are not there then Camera Raw is not properly installed...if Camera Raw is correctly installed then you may need to do several things...first, in the folder you are trying to see raw images, go up under Tools/ Cache/ Purge Cache For Folder. If that doesn't work you may need to trash your Bridge CS5 preferences. To do that, hold down the Command/ Option/ Shift keys while double-clicking the Bridge app icon and choosing Reset Preferences...
    If Camera Raw was not properly installed, sorry, can't help you...you may need to contact Customer Service for installing tech support.

  • Running OS 10.6.8 on a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Mac can I upgrade from Indesign CS5 to CS6?

    Running OS 10.6.8 on a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Mac can I upgrade from Indesign CS5 to CS6?

    They do, but what happens when the client(s) move to CC? Of course doing
    so opens a new can of worms for you since 10.6.8 is unsupported for
    anything later than CS6.
    You should start budgeting for some upgrades sooner rather than later.

  • Not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6.

    Hi! I am not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6. When I export it the progress bar is showing and says Recording Flash content and nothing happens

    I havent exported any videos in the past from Flash. The movie is around 45 seconds and the size is 470KB.
    I tried both, the memory and the hard drive.
    In the attached image you can see the settings and in the other image you can see the progress bar that remains without something to happen.
    I dont mind what type of video to export it can be also .avi but again I have troubles there. It is very large and the animation is distorted.
    The animation consist from two scenes. The first one can be exported without any problem but the second one cannot be exported. May be because it has some masks layers and guide layers?
