Mini Bridge is Gone in CS6 on my machine

Not just turned off, apparently, but gone completely -- Photoshop is kind enough to tell me it is not installed. I tried restoring the CS6 folders from a backup taken 12 days ago when I know it was working because I actually used it after that point, but no luck.
It does work on my laptop, but I can't find a plugin to copy. Anybody have a clue what file(s) I need? Win7 x64...

Heh heh...I was using my phone (now on the 'puter). The contrast was weak and I just fast-scrolled to hit the bottom to see your post. When I went back to the post lising I saw the green indicator but as my phone cannot edit a post (tells me I am using an unsupported browser, which neither Chrome nor Opera mobile browsers can edit but can post...I was being lazy).
All the non-Adobe software I have installed using an electronic download do not put the repair function in Windows. All the non-Adobe software I install using a DVD do put the repair function in Windows, even the same titles as the download versions.
Because I only have downloaded Adobe software for a while (and all I presently have installed are downloads), I don't now if the Adobe physical media puts the repair function in Windows' Uninstall screen or not. Sorry.
Take care, Mike

Mini bridge icon in photoshop CS6

Hi,
Where is the mini bridge icon ?
In photoshop cs5 it was in the upper left corner right next to the Bridge icon , they all gone in CS6 ?
thanks !

That bar is gone. You can open with Window/Extension/mini-bridge

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 Missing from InDesign CS6 after Upgrade to InDesign Version 8.1

I discussed this same problem https://forums.adobe.com/message/5833991 after upgrading to the prior version 8.0.2 of InDesign.
After upgrading to InDesign Version 8.1, Mini Bridge no longer works. Mini Bridge does not show under the Window menu and shift-clicking the Bridge icon opens the full Bridge, not Mini Bridge.
With the prior version 8.0.2 problem, I was able to recover Mini Bridge by doing a re-install of InDesign under Window's Safe Mode. Microsoft has somehow changed Safe Mode and I can no longer do the reinstall using Safe Mode. I have tried several different ways of reinstalling version 8.1, but none of them correct this problem. Still no Mini Bridge.
Mini Bridge does work in Photoshop CS6 with no problem.
I have read through all of the messages that seem to relate to this problem in this forum, but none of the suggested solutions work for me.
Can anyone provide me with an answer? If not, how do I get help from Adobe? I am willing to pay for support, if necessary.

RESOLVED - I can't believe it, but I have actually figured this out.
Getting frustrated with going in circles, I decided to dig into security options. First off, I opened Windows' Properties for the start-up icon for InDesign. Right off, I noticed under the Compatibility tab that InDesign was set to run in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3). This did not seem right, so I turned off the option to run in Compatibility Mode and re-started up InDesign. Low and behold, the option Window | Mini Bridge was now displayed! And it worked!
Sorry to have bothered you gentlemen with this problem. I really appreciate your assistance!
Mark.

Minimizing Mini-Bridge & Timeline in Photoshop CS6

Quick question that I can't figure out. How do I minimize the Mini-Bridge and Timeline in Photoshop CS6? I have draged the window section as far down as possible. But, I have seen some PS6 screenshots were the timeline and mini-bridge lay flush with the bottom of the screen. And, once I do minimize them, how do I bring them back up again?
Thanks!
Kirsten

Hello again!
Have you tried double-clicking on the panel tabs? Tha tabs display the names of the panels (Timeline and Mini-Bridge)
This should minimize the panels - to open them, you can just double click the tabs again.
Please post again if you have additional questions
Cheers!

Mini Bridge won't launch in CS6

I can't get mini bridge to launch in CS6. I tried deleting the switch board and that didn't work. Then I tried adding it to the firewall with no success. It is really frustrating me!

Did you have CS2 before you wnet to CS6?
There is a lot people having problems but is mostly PC users that had CS2 installed. Most are saying to make a new user account on the computer log in to it and it works.
That maybe a work around for the mac also.

What happened to mini bridge. CC2014. Please bring it back!!

All of a sudden, I realized that mini-bridge was gone. I can't stand the regular Bridge. Please bring it back. I may have to go back to CS6 because I can't work in Photoshop without mini-bridge.
What is the status of bringing it back???

This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
The proper place for Photoshop Feature Requests is

and there seems to be at least one report on the issue already:

Mini Bridge funktioniert nicht

Mini Bridge funktioniert in PS CS6 nicht. "Warten auf Bridge"wird immer angezeigt

Hallo Willi,
Tut mir wirklich leid, wenn was ich geschrieben habe, für dich "Gestotter" ist ...
Hallo,
Bin auf Power Mac.
Adobe Photoshop Version: 2014.2.2 20141204.r.310 2014/12/04:23:59:59 CL 994532 x64
Betriebssystem: Mac OS 10.9.5
Aktivitätsanzeiger zeigt immer wieder die Meldung "Switchboard (reagiert nicht) (Rot)
Habe das Dossier SwitchBoard bereits einige Malen aus die Preferences gelöst
und auch ein neuer User angemeldet.
Problem bleibt bestehen.
Konnten anfänglich Mini-Bridge in CS6 anklicken ... bliebe aber hängen.
Kann heute Mini-Bridge in CS6 überhaupt nicht aufrufen.
Und sonst ist Bridge CC sehr langsam im Vergleich zum früheren Bridge CS6
Hat irgend jemand eine Ahnung was los sein könnte ?
Viel Dank im Voraus.
JM
Ich möchte gerne wissen, wie ich es schaffen kann:
1. dass Mini-Bridge im CS CC funktionsfähig gemacht werden kann ?
2. Wie ich es schaffen kann, dass diese immer auftretende Meldung im Aktivitätsanzeiger (Switchboard reagiert nicht), behoben werden kann ?
3. Wie es zu schaffen wäre, dass Bridge CC genau so schnell arbeiten könnte wie vorher CS 6 ?
Ich denke, dass wenn ich auf diese drei Fragen eine wirksame Lösung bekomme,
dass das Thema für mich weitestgehend erledigt werden wird.
Sorry für mein viele Deutsch-Fehler (Gestotter ... ) Ich bin Französichsprechend ...
Freundlicher Gruss ... und schon mal viel Dank, dass du dich die Mühe
gegeben hast, mein "Gestotter" zu lesen.

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.

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:
