  • 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.

  • Unable to load Mini Bridge or other extensions (PS CC 14.2 x64)

    Hello, a few weeks ago I ran into update problems with an update to Adobe CSXS Infrastructure 4, and subsequent updates to Creative Cloud app, Photoshop and Illustrator. The updates would not complete and I could not finish the update to Creative Cloud app to sign in. With help from Adobe online tech, the Creative Cloud app was removed, the Adobe Cleaner run, and CC app reinstalled. Once signed in, I uninstalled Illustrator, downloaded and reinstalled it. After that I was able to finish with the Photoshop CC update.
    I've used PS CC quite a bit since then and all seems well, except that I am not able to load Mini Bridge or another 3rd party add in product. The messages I receive are:
    Mini Bridge could not be launched because the Mini Bridge extension is not installed
    3rd party product - onOne - Cannot complete command because the extension could not be loaded
    Today (1/17) I applied the 14.2 x64 update hoping it would correct the problem with extensions but it did not. PS CC 14.2 seems to work fine otherwise.
    Any help appreciated.

    I had the same Problem Adobe had me install three new CEPServiceManager4  folder the third try worked. Here is what I wrote back to them
    When I ran Help>Updates there were two updates the CSXS update and and Photoshop CC 14.2.  Both update installed however Photoshop extension Mini Bridge was missing.
    I was able to copy the folder "Adobe Mini Bridge 3"  from the my rename "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEPServiceManager4 old\extensions" to the new "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEPServiceManager4\extensions" folder to recover the Mini Bridge extension.

  • I've just downloaded photoshop and bridge cc.  I have two challenges.  First, I don't have a mini bridge option in the photoshop drop down menu or at the bottom of the photoshop workspace.   What could be causing this?  2nd.  From my old version of PS, I

    I need some help!  I just upgraded from PS CS2 to CC photoshop, bridge and lightroom CS6 CC.   It is very different.   I have 2 initial problems.   1)  I do not have an option for mini bridge.  It isn't in my PS dropdown menu nor an icon at the bottom of the PS work space.  Why don't I have a minibridge?     2)   In CS2, I could doubleclick on an image in Bridge and it would automatically open it in PS. That doesn't work with CS6 (creative cloud).  Should it?  Its like the two products are not interacting as they should.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi Jenwebber,
    Mini Bridge is not available in Photoshop CC 2014. Please refer to below link.

    Also as JJMack stated, make sure you have all the applications up to date.
    Thanks

  • In mini bridge, is it possible to view the file name and the rating at the same time?

    Hello,
    In mini bridge, is it possible to view the file name and the rating at the same time?
    Thank you.

    if you know when a new image arrives and you can retrieve that new image file name ...
    Well, that's precisely my doubt, how can I know the file name? Is there a property/method for it?
    function loadImages() {
    for (var i:int=0; i<imagesNames.length; i++) {
    var imgLoader:Loader=new Loader;
    imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,imgLoaded);
    imgLoader.load(new URLRequest(imgPath + imagesNames[i]));
    function imgLoaded(par:Event):void {
    trace(par.target,par.target.content,par.target.content.name);
    Output window:
    [object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance160
    [object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance159
    [object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance161    

  • Mini Bridge PS CS6 "Waiting for Bridge"? mac os x 10.8.3

    Mini bridge says "waiting for Bridge" II removed /library/application Support/Adobe/Switchborard folder and alo the switch board preference file in home directory, restarted computer, etc and message changed from "no items found" to "Waiting for Bridge"

    Hi Curt Y, Thanks for replaying, it actually "Quits unexpectedly", which one is the option botton?, I tried, cmd + shift, and cmd, shift + ctrl, didn't work.
    I'm working on a project in which I have to name several pictures, and I just drag them into a template in PSD and change the name, could the amount of images I'm working have something to the with the quitting?
    Thanks again!

  • Mini Bridge in Illustrator

    I am a big user of the Bridge and when I started using the CS5 suite I picked up on the Mini Bridge very well in both Photoshop and InDesign. I was disappointed that Illustrator didn't have this panel. I am requesting that Illustrator adds the Mini Bridge panel to all the other great tools that Illustrator has to offer.
    Thank you,
    Steve Lark

    Support! And on this occasion a decent tool forrelated images such as the indd. Especially to the lost links.

  • I don't have Mini Bridge in my Photoshop

    So I was making a GIF project and found out that I needed to use Mini Bridge but I don't have it in the tabs on the right side of Photoshop.
    I tried going to Windows to open it through Extentions but it was greyed out. And I also went to Edit>Preferences to go open up startup scripts but the only things there was Interface, File Handling, Performance, Cursors, Transparency & Gamut, Units & Rulers, Guides Grid & Slices, Plug-in, and Type.
    Can anyone please help me? It would be much appreciated

    When I use Browse in Bridge it says
    Error 2: Photoshop is Undefined
    Line: 1
    -> photoshop.invokeBridge[false, false, ");
    And my Browse in Mini Bridge is Grayed out

  • Cannot view folders in mini bridge

    Hello,
    when trying to use mini bridge in ID CS6, I cannot view folders. I can look at drives, and places such as desk top, but it will only find individual image files, and cannot find any folders. As most of my assest are in folders, this is exceedingly frustrating. I remember CS5 not having this issue. Is there a preference or setting I am missing, or is this how Adobe always "improves" their products when they update.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have done that, but it still does not find folders. Specifically, let's say folders within folders. I mentioned that I can find places, such as desktop, but it won't find 'folders' on my desktop. Just indivdual files. Here is a screen shot of what I mean. On my desk top, I happen to have a folder of assets, but it is not finding it when I have 'desk top' highlighted in the navigation. This is a problem that there seems to be now answer for.

  • Browse in Mini Bridge is not Available under File Menu in Photoshop CC

    Recently installed Bridge CC and Photoshop CC in Windows 7 enviornment. "Browse in Mini Bridge" option is not available under the File menu. I reinstalled Bridge CC, rebooted, yatta yatta, but no Mini Bridge option. Any ideas how to get it to install/come up?
    Thanks!

    Mini Bridge is no longer available, so it's never going to show up again. All Flash-based extension panels were removed from Photoshop, and Mini Bridge was one of them. More info here:

  • Mini Bridge "Waiting for Bridge" error Macintosh

    We'd been having this error on a couple of our computers and none of the steps in the KB article http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-waiting-for-bridge-cs5.html are working.
    We initally set up one computer to be used as our master image. Once we had things working the way we wanted on this computer we cloned the drive using Carbon Copy Cloner and distributed the master image to 3 other computers for testing. Mini Bridge was working fine on the master image. Once we cloned the master we changed the name of the default user account to our intended user's name following Apple's directions for changing user account names. Mini Bridge did not work on any of the user accounts on the cloned computers even those accounts whose names did not change. I even tried creating a new test account and it still does not work.
    I've been doing some experimenting removing various Adobe related files and then trying to use the Mini Bridge until I figured out what worked. What I found was I could go to Library/Application Support/Adobe, and using Get Info, make the default user the owner of the Adobe folder. (They already had read/write permissions.) After that they are able to use the Mini Bridge. However, none of my other user accounts can work with the Mini Bridge since they are not owners of the Adobe folder. It seems that Mini Bridge is only able to function if the current user is also the owner of the Adobe folder?
    I looked at the permissions on the master for the Adobe folder and it said it was owned by root and belonged to the admin group. On the cloned images it states that it is owned by the default user and belongs to the staff group. I tried using Terminal and changed the owner and group to root and admin as it was on the master, but that didn't make any difference. It will still only work if the default user is actually made the owner of the folder.
    We will be cloning several more computers this way and I'd like to figure out why this is not working and see if there is a way to make it work for all users of the computer. I am sure something is happening with permissions on the Adobe folder when the user account is renamed on the clone, however I also did a group of 4 laptops this same way and those cloned computers all work fine under all user accounts.

    Omke,
    Thanks for the suggestions. I finally got it working today.
    We've been using Bridge for quite a while but the Mini Bridge is new to us as we are just now updating to CS5. I did notice a bit of lag time with Mini Bridge and sometimes it didn't want to display the items on networked drives, but if I hit the backward and forward arrows it would work, so maybe just a screen redraw issue or something there, but other than that it seems to be working ok over our network for now.
    Your tip about having only one copy of Bridge open at a time was the key. We have been able to open the same program on multiple user accounts simultaneously before, but I can't say that we have with Bridge. I didn't notice it at first but when you choose Mini Bridge in InDesign it is actually opening the full Bridge in the background though it doesn't open the Bridge window, but looking at my Dock I see where it has been launched. When I would switch to another user account to test the Mini Bridge I wasn't closing out of Bridge in the first account, since I didn't realize it was open, so I'm assuming since it was still open there it could not launch it under the second user. Once I closed out of Bridge on the first account it worked fine on the second.
    So think we have it resolved now.
    Thanks so much for the tip! This has been driving me crazy for a day and a half. Now I can get on with my other computer set-ups.
    By the way, we are ok on the number of CS copies floating around, we have a volume license. :-)

  • Mini Bridge using copy and paste

    I currently have CS5 extended installed on a desktop (xp 32 bit) and a laptop (Win7 64 bit) all files are up to date. When I start Photoshop create a new file, start mini bridge to select the file I want to copy and paste into my new file. I select the file,it opens in Photoshop I press these key strokes (control-A; control-C), move to the file to be copied to and press control-V. The file may or may not be copied. Even pressing control-V several times. You can press edit; paste and still nothing happens. But press edit; paste special; the file will be copied into the file.  If the file is copied on the first try go back and select a different file and repeat the process. To get the file pasted into the document I; created a new layer; control-V; file is copied to a layer.  If I create a new layer then turn off this layer press: control-V the file can also be copied to a layer.  All of the above is when I start mini bridge to navigate to the files. 
    Now close Photoshop and Bridge.  Restart Photoshop start Big Bridge (not mini bridge)! Create a new file; use Big Bridge to navigate to the file you want to copy into the new document, files opens into Photoshop enter the keyboard short cut or tool bar to select the file, copy the file. Now switch to the file to be pasted into  press;control-V or select; file; paste; now everything's works.  Try this process with different files to be pasted into the new document and it works flawless every time.
    The above problem is present on both computers.  My question is has anyone seen this or am I the only one?  I stumbled on this a couple of days ago, sure I can work around this using Big Bridge. 
    Thanks in advance for your replys.

    It seems as though the window is losing focus. If after you Ctrl+C, switch over to the other document and then press the enter key twice or switch tools or click on the document window (with the move tool), then it seems to paste.
