Mini Bridge CS6 nav pod needs sorting

How can I resort the folders shown in the Navigation Pod of Mini Bridge in InDesign CS6? They seem to be in a completely random order, and I would at least like to see them in conventional alphanumeric order. I have no problem re-sorting the content in the main viewing panel.

Mini-bridge CS6 : impossible to show thumbnails

Impossible to show thumbnails in mini-bridge.
This bar which was in CS5 is missing in CS6
Therefore you cannot neither show nor change dimensions of the thumbnails.
Reynold Jaquet

But they do auto-resize as you change the height of mini-bridge, so on my PC I can see sixteen thumbnails when mini-bridge is at its smallest:
Large:
Small:

How do you sort mini bridge manually?

Is there a way to sort mini bridge manually? I have manually sorted images for an album design in Bridge but when I open Mini Bridge in Indesign they are sorted by filename. I do not see a sort option to sort manually. Wondering if anybody has a solution other than to rename files from Bridge.
I am using InDesign and Bridge CS6 on a Windows 7 computer via the Adobe cloud.

Yes, when I do that it sorts the albums in the folder by name.
I may have misused terminology, I meant Smart Albums not smart folders, if this makes a difference.
Thanks for your help!

Assigning stars or flags in mini bridge?

Is it possible to do this in mini bridge, or does this need to be done in Bridge?
Thanks.

To summarize so there are not a lot of repeating motifs.
••I ran CS5 and had CS6 on my system and had no problem.
••I unistalled CS5 using the adobe unistaller.
••Bridge began to not be able to find the user cashe after that and crashed upon loading the folders lib.
••CS6 worked fine but I could not use the mini bridge nor the bridge proper.
••I unistalled CS6 and reinstalled it. Still had the same problem.
••Used the script cleaner mentioned earlier in thsi thread on CS6, there being no CS5 listed.
••And then, of course, reinstalled CS6 AGAin.
••Still the problem persisted.
••I went into the user lib and hand deleted everything I could find for CS5. and then I reistalled for the 4 th time CS6, using the adobe unistaller. And still the problem persists.
••went the adobe script cleaner log report console to see there were no errors nor fails and there were none reported and showed a clean unistall.
So that is the history so far.
and here again is the screen shot of the message In receive upon opening bridge CS6.
well .... the uploader is not greyed out at the moment.. see the screen shot in entry 6 of this thread, thanks
THanks to everyone for your help, the opt/launch/reset. trick worked with me only having to detete the specified cashe. thanks again, Aloha, Uhane

Auto Scaling thumbs in Mini Bridge really necessary?

I would expect that opening up Mini Bridge would simply show more thumbs rather than automatically scaling 1 or 2 as big as possible.
How is this useful? And how is it not annoying?
I wish Mini bridge had a Scale Slider like its big brother has.
Don't think I'm gonna have this panel open at all when I get CS6.

This was the discussion where it was stated as design rather than bug:

Mini Bridge in CS6 InDesign won't sort files

I am running CS6 on Snow Leopard.
When I open the mini bridge panel in InDesign I can't sort any files in the Nav Pod. It has no effect on the file sort.
I have updated the CS software and reset my bridge preferences. Do you have any other suggestions?
Bridge works fine.

I have 8 MB of RAM. I restarted all the software, but not my computer.
It is in the left column that I am having the problem.
There was a previous discussion thread where a user on Mountain Lion was having the same issue, but it wasn't resolved in that discussion thread either.

I need help getting Mini Bridge to work in PS CS6

I have already tried deleting the folder and rebooting the computer, I have tried creating a new user account, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the entire package and I cannot get Mini Bridge to work at all. It just keeps going to "Mini Bridge waiting for Bridge CS6..." and then never finds anything. I am having this issue on both my Macbook Pro Retina 15 and my MacBook Pro 13 (Early 2011 model). I cannot seem to find any other solutions to this problem online. I also made sure that both Macbooks are fully updated as well as all CS6 software titles. Please help me fix this!
I also made sure I added it to the exceptions list in the firewall too.

Moving the discussion to PS forum

CS6 Mini-Bridge showing corrupt image

I didn't know whether to post this in Bridge or here since Mini-Bridge is called from within CS6. I've rarely used Mini-Bridge in the past because it required Bridge to be running, so I didn't see the need. A discussion on another forum had me take a look at Mini-Bridge. It now appears to run without Bridge, though it appears to make some sort of connection to Bridge and have it run in the background. I pointed it to a folder and noticed several corrupt images. I then opened Bridge and they looked fine. I did a screenshot and the image appears corrupt in Mini-Bridge, but fine in Bridge (5.0.2), ACR (7.3), and CS6 (13.0.1). Mini-Bridge will show several of the images corrupted, while they all look fine in Bridge or any other program. I'm running Windows7.
The following screenshots show the problem. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Dennis

Mini Bridge always requires Bridge to be active for showing the content of the Bridge files. If you start mini bridge in PS without having Bridge itself zctive a message should appear that you have to launch Bridge and also a launch button to do the task for you.
In Bridge first select the file that appears corrupted in MB and with right mouse click menu choose 'purge cache for selection'. If this is not working first try a reset of the preferences for Photoshop ( on a Mac this is restart PS with holding down shift, option and command key, should be something similar in Windows)
This might work for MB but also resets the other PS prefs to factory default so you have to set your custom wishes again. Not a big deal but you have to be aware of this :-)
Same can be done for Bridge itself with restart Bridge and holding down control key and choose reset preferences. But if your first attempt with purge cache for selection works you can choose the menu tools in Bridge and while having the folder content of the problem files in the content panel choose cache/ purge cache for folder and let it rebuild.

Photoshop CS6: Mini Bridge's Reveal in Bridge clears Bridge Filter list

I have Bridge CS6's Filter List set to reveal jpegs,PSDs,PNGs,and Tiff files,because those are the common file types I open in Photoshop. I even turn on "Keep Filter when browsing",so I do not have to repeat in each folder.
Then later I will be in Photoshop using the handy mini-bridge. I move to a folder and decide to use the Reveal in Bridge button for a certain image. Clicking on that image does indeed reveal it in Bridge,but it also turns off all my filter selections and I have to set them again.
Any fix for this?

Adobe needs to realize that if "as designed" results in users thinking it's a bug or otherwise not useful — then it's a bad design choice and should be revised. They need to leave options in place for people that don't agree with some of their "new" aka bad ideas.
Assuming users don't want to use Mini Bridge vertically is just ridiculous — especially since you can't dock it to the bottom in InDesign like you can in Photoshop.
And not showing folders in the thumbnail view is most unintuative thing to do here. If it's a Mini Bridge, why doesn't it behave like bridge and at least have a check box for filtering out folders or something.
Mini Bridge is kind of useless now.

CS6 Mini Bridge - Thumbnail size and preview

I've just upgraded to CS6 (design & web premium) and was setting up my workspace in InDesign, and after adding (docking) Mini Bridge there seems to be no preview or anyway to change the size of the thumbnails I can view.
I use Mini Bridge a lot as we have folders that include 100+ assets in, and it's good to see a small thumbnail to quick scan, then to click on it to see more detail. Now all I can see is a maximum of 6 thumbnails, which means I will need to scroll a lot to find anything.
I've read the following topic from the PS CS6 Beta forum (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4286375#4286375#4286375), and was wondering if this "as designed" thinking has been rolled over to InDesign, meaning that in order to change the thumbnail size (with no preview), I have to have Mini Bridge undocked and if I want to see more detail, I have to enlarge the thumbnail, then reduce again to carry on searching?
If so, it seems like a massive oversight, as InDesign is a layout tool and having easy access to multiple documents to include (and to see what they are) is vital, which isn't helped by the seemingly arcane way to access folders.
Hopefully this is me just being a bit dim and missing something obvious, otherwise it's going to cause a lot of hassle in my day to day work.
If anyone has a definitive answer, that would be great.
Cheers.

Unable to launch mini bridge in CS6

With PS and Bridge open, I'm unable to open mini bridge. Get a display saying 'Waiting for Bridge CS6'... Running on Mac OSX 10.7.4 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, RAM 4GB.
Anyone got any idea what's wrong?

From Mac 10.7 onwards the library folder under Users was hidden, please find the instruction to navigate there.

I am trying to use the Mini Bridge in Adobe Photoshop CS6 (desktop) and all I get is "Waiting for Bridge CS6 ..." in the panel at the bottom of the screen.

I am running on a Core i7 iMac with 20GB or RAM and have already done the two applicable steps in the main Adobe help area relating to Switchboard (Error: Waiting for Bridge | Mini Bridge panel) to no avail. Any ideas?

Have you tried to start the bridge CS6 then open Photoshop CS6 try to use the mini bridge.
I have a problem on windows too. Sometimes when I open CS6 version 13.1.2 and try to use the mini bridge Its panels has a message Bridge must be running and there is a launch bridge button. When I use that button Bridge gets launched but may hangs before displaying its application window or anything in the mini bridge panel. I can terminate the bridge when this happens with windows task manager and start the bridge. After doing that the mini bridge launch button became a reconnect button using it mini bridge then work.
I can also start Bridge CS6 before Photoshop CS6 and mini bridge works as soon as Photoshop is up and running.

Mini Bridge Layout Changes from CS5.5 to CS6

I recently upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6 on my work PC and I noticed a real annoying change with the layout of the Mini Bridge, specifically in InDesign. I was really hoping (and praying) that there would be a way to get the layout back to the way it was in CS5.5.
When the Mini Bridge is open the way it used to be was split at the top with the left side with favorites and the right side with a file navigator. The favorites portion was always there and did not disappear when you clicked on a folder, rather it just loaded the file list up in the bottom portion of the window. I REALLY miss that. Now in CS6 there is a drop down bar that is a pain to use and navigate through and when you click on the favorites (or any other option) it loads into the only navigation bar when you click on a folder it does not display the folders inside of it, instead just files in the folder.
Is there any way to get the Mini Bridge back to the original way? Is there an option I can click to get it to display the favorites list at all times and go back to the way it worked in CS 5.5?

I've found mini bridge is unusable when it is docked. If you float it then favorites is on the left.
Sounds like you are describing the docked version:
