Missing bridge startup scripts

In bridge CS4 I am trying to use the Output feature to create a PDF contact sheet. However, when I click on that, I get a new workspace but I get no features in the output panel, it's blank. In reading the bridge PDF help manual, it says that one should use the Adobe Output Module script to do this: "If the Output workspace is not listed, select Adobe Output Module in Startup Scripts preferences." However, when I go to Preferences, Startup Scripts, and select "reveal scripts" there are no scripts shown at all.
Where can I find them? Is this also why when I select the "Tools" menu item, there is no "Photomerge" choice?

I have gone to Bridge->Preferences->Startup script panel. The Adobe Output Module is not listed. In fact, there is nothing listed in the panel.
I have installed Photoshop CS4 but the photomerge options do not appear on the Tools->Photoshop menu of Bridge as they did in CS3. The only choices that appear are "Batch rename", 4 Metadata items, and "Cache".

CS6 Bridge startup scripts, AGAIN!

Had the same problem with CS5 and beta CS6, Bridge startup scripts won't load, meaning the outout pane is blank.
Over the past 2 years, 2 different computers, 3 hd's, clean installs on all and I keep getting the same problem.
This time, standard install on Lion 10.7.3 mac pro mid 2010 16gb RAM ssd, permissions repaired before/after install, diskwarrior run before install. Works fine on my laptop.
Getting a bit frustrated with Adobe, same problem hasn't been sorted out in the past 2 years.
There was a helpful post in the old CS6 forums for a cure, but surely we shouldn't have to do this Adobe, again?

Might get a better response if you post in Bridge Script Forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/bridge/bridge_scripting

Photoshop CS6 Startup Script Missing from Bridge CC

Hi. After downloading a Photoshop CS6 update, Camera Raw unlinked from Bridge CS6. I have a full CC subscription so I downloaded Bridge CC and that solved the problem. Now Photoshop does not appear in the 'tools' menu. It is missing from the Startup Script list in preferences as well. Where can I find or download the photoshop script?
On a mac, using Mavericks.
Thank you!

Bump. Any solutions yet?
restart Bridge holding down option (Mac) or ctrl (Win) key ad from the menu choose reset references. Try again. BTW, the start up scripts from the needed applications for Bridge Tool menu are in Bridge preferences / Start up scripts, they should show and have a checkmark in front of them.

Missing startup script in bridge cc

I have photoshop cc and bridge cc loaded on my computer. I also had CS6 on the same computer. I deleted photoshop CS6 from my computer. When I try to open a file in bridge cc I get an errer message that cs6 cannot be found. I checked my bridge cc startup scripts folder file and it is empty. Has anyone had the same problem?

Bridge CS5.1 Tools are missing and there are no startup scripts available.

Brand new MBP with Creative Suite CS5. Not sure what happened to the Bridge Image Processing Tools that where readily available in CS4. I looked for the Startup Scripts mentioned in other forum posts but this folder is empty: Library > Application Support > Adobe > Bridge CS5.1.
Why make us hunt for Startup Scripts?

I think you may be misunderstanding me.
With many advantages with using mail for this forum the disadvantage sometimes is you don't have oversight in the whole thread.
I was merely reacting on Curt with the CS5 and CS5.5 solution that solved some problems earlier this year but reading the thread again that seems not related to yours.
Shortly before Curt his post I read your post about renaming the default folder name (which to me sounds bad). Hence my reference to a solution of an older problem that was solved by creating a new folder with the 5.1 addition and copy the scripts in there
However I still don't understand why you are not able to have a normal setup after clean install.
Without having experience with Lion I really would try the Recovery Disk for resetting your user account. With Pre Lion you could do an Archive and Install and it seems Lion also has such an option.

Startup Script folder empty - no Bridge CS5 Output to Web?

Something must have gone wrong installing CS5 Photoshop over CS4 Indesign!
Even after net-updating to Bridge 4.0.2 the startup script folder (Preferences > Startup Scripts) is empty. When selecting the Output Workspace in Bridge, there is no pane that let one output to Web Gallery or Contact Sheet.
I'm doing this meanwhile in CS4 Bridge, where it works fine. This Bridge version was coming with CS4 InDesign.
I downloaded CS5 Photoshop in April (I guess it's an International English upgrade) running it on OSX 10.6.4 on a new 17" Book.
Is there an upgrade coming, how can I achieve full functionality of Bridge CS5?
Than you in advance for your input,
Bernd Rummel

Hi Omke,
I did download and install the Photoshop CS5 upgrade by April. Since the Output to Web Gallery pane was not there at the Output workspace as well as all Sartup Scripts are missing at Bridge Preferences, I completely reformatted (actually changed the partitions) and reinstalled OSX 10.6.3, my 17" Book came with. Than I upgraded to OSX 10.6.4.
Now, before doing (screwing up) anything else, I installed Acrobat 9 and run the rather lengthy process of installing each and every upgrade to the latest version. Than I installed InDesign CS4 (version 6) and upgraded this. Finally I installed Photioshop CS5, only to still have the Startup Scripts and subsequently the output to web gallery pane missing. Of course, also the Twitter and Facebook stuff is not there. However, this is not my concern since I do not use them.
The upgrade to Bridge 4.0.2 didn't change anything, so didn't todays upgrade to Photoshop 12.0.1.
Please note that I do not use the CS Suite but upgrade Adobe Acrobat, InDesign and Photoshop individually, which used to work fine for many years. And so I have Bridge CS4 and Bridge CS5 installed side by side. At the CS4 version the Startup Scripts and Output to Web Gallery does work as expected the CS5 version of Bridge is short of both. This shouldn't happen, since I installed CS5 Photoshop over Bridge CS4.
Actually two weeks back I tied to un-install both the CS4 Bridge as well as the CS5 Photoshop, and than to just install Photoshop CS5 without InDesign with Bridge CS4 being installed. The Startup Scripts and Output to Web Gallery wasn't there either.
Do you think I can get an other Photoshop CS5 softcopy somewhere that makes my serial number as well as the output to web gallery work? This would turn me back to be a happy photoshopper that I am since version 2.5... when I switched from Cibachrome in darkroom to Photoshop on Mac now about 16 years back.
I look forward to your input.

Missing startup script for version cue

I'm having the problem where I don't seem to have the startup scripts for version cue in bridge.
When I check the list of startup scripts in preferences, the other scripts all seem to be there like for contribute, fireworkds etc. However version cue is missing.
I also checked the actual locations for the startup scripts.
The scripts for version cue seem to be in the actual locations but for some reason they're not running or showing up in bridge or that's what I'm assuming anyway.
I'm running bridge CS4 and version cue CS4.
If anyone could help me that would be great!

What then do they recommend? The URL listed below is broken/no longer available. The solution listed above does appear to work. I installed Version Cue Server CS4 after having installed the rest of the suite on my workstation. I used drive to link to the server(my machine which I am using for testing). I had CS3 on this machine before uninstalling it and installing CS4.

Bridge can't find Startup Scripts on OSX (CS5, CS5.5, CS6)

I just spent a few hours trying to figure out why Bridge could not be launched from Photoshop, and also why the Stratup Script panel in Bridge Preferences was empty.
On the chance someone else has this issue, I have found one cause for the problem on OSX... and I must say it is rather stupid.
If you have a volume named "Library" mounted, either a local volume or a server volume, Bridge expects to find its startup scripts on it. You can either rename the volume, or if that really isn't an option, you can create a folder path of /Application Support/Adobe on the Library volume and copy the /Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Bridge CS6 Extensions and /Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts 6.0 folders to that new folder.
Obviously renaming the volume is the easiest. Replace CS6 in the paths above with CS5 or CS5.1 if you also use those products.
If you have encountered this error in Photoshop when opening bridge, you may have a volume called "Library":
Error 2: photoshop is undefined.
Line: 1
-> photoshop.invokeBridge (false, false, '');

If you have a volume named "Library" mounted, either a local volume or a server volume, Bridge expects to find its startup scripts on it. You can either rename the volume, or if that really isn't an option, you can create a folder path of /Application Support/Adobe on the Library volume and copy the /Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Bridge CS6 Extensions and /Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts 6.0 folders to that new folder.
I'm sorry but I certainly can't second this advise, in fact I'm strongly against it. Mac Os uses 3 libraries, one at root level, one in the system folder on root level and one on user level, by default hidden per OSX 10.7.
That is for a single user set up.
Creating folders in those libraries yourself should only be done with great care and good knowledge but rather you should let this be done during default installation of the applications themselves, they have been designed to place the folders they need to use to work under the correct name and path, otherwise they won't recognize the needed files or script or preferences.
Renaming the library folder or creating a folder called library your self is a bad idea because all applications use the default root- and user library for various tasks as does the system itself.
If your initial installation ended up without having access to the other applications using the start up scripts inBridge the install either went wrong or your copy of the software is not correct.
The default location for the start up scripts should be in the library at root level and that would make the path: Macintosh HD (or the custom name you gave to the start up disk) / Library / Application support / Adobe / Startup Scripts CS6.
Inhere should each installed application of the CS6 suite have a folder with its application name. These folders contain the needed scripts. Some have only one and some have more. the particular script to run Photoshop is called "photoshop.jsx".

Add Startup scripts to Bridge

hello
I would like to do as above, with InDesign you have a fodler called Scripts/Startup Scripts with scripts inside can i do the same with Bridge CS6?
Thanks

There are 2 startup script folders with Bridge…
One contains the Adobe Scripts that provide the built-in functions…
Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS5/
Most likely the one you want though is the user one…
You can reveal this if you go to the app preferences…

Missing STARTUP script for upgrade program

Hi Experts,
We are performing a upgrade from 4.7 to ERP6. From the documentation, it mentioned starting the upgrade program using the STARTUP script on the upgrade master. But I was unable to locate this STARTUP file on the upgrade master that is shipped to us.
We are using SAP ERP 6.0 upgrade master (D51033520). May I know where can I get this STARTUP program?
Thanks in advance,
Tzyy Ming

Hi Lee,
You have to follow below command to run upgrade program:
1) Go to upgrade directory
2) Then run /<DVD mount directory>/PREPARE
3) Then you can run PREPARE from here.
Once PREPARE finishes. You can run upgrade assistant from upgrade directory:
Run java -cp <upgrade directory>/ua/ua.jar UaServer
When upgrade assistant server console shows you Ready
Then run java -cp <UaGuiDir>\uagui.jar UaGui to start upgrade GUI.
Thanks

Bridge - Voluntary Scripting Guidelines

I made a first post on this at ps-scripts:
http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=176
It seems to me we would benefit from developing 'good practice' guidelines for Bridge scripting. Here are some intial issues that occur to me:
1. Function namespaces:
Given the use of start-up scripts and the loading of script libraries at start-up it is important we keep function names unique. I am going to use ah_myfunction() for all my own function names. It is also sensible that scripts should use libraries where one already contains a function, rather than duplicating the library function within another script - giving rise to a potential namespace conflict between different versions later.
2. Bridge menus:
Given how central scripting is to Bridge I feel there should be a top-line scripts menu (which I wish could be accessed via an FKey). We could call it 'Scripts' (lol). All non-startup scripts could be listed within that menu - perhaps some guidelines as to order would be useful - maybe alphabetical. It would then be optional to group those further as to application target (in many cases this would be unnecessary). If they are to be grouped by application it may be better to simply organise them with separators rather then put them in further submenus - I resent every extra click I have to make when accessing menus, especially when I am using automation to start with.
To add some background to this point - while the menu customization potential of Bridge is attractive I believe it will mainly be used by scripters rather than by the broader user community. If scripters start creating individual menus as part of scripts they then distribute to a wider audience without consideration of what other scripters are doing things are going to get very messy very quickly. I could start off making an Andrew Hall Scripts menu and why not put next to that a link to my website and maybe to my artsite too etc.etc.
3. Start-up versus one-off scripts.
In many cases it is possible to create a script that does a particular task either as a startup script (the openshut.jsx script is an example of this) or as something that only gets run when required but which is not loaded at startup. I would say that where-ever possible scripts should be created as one-offs (ie not within the startup folder).
4. A Non-Startup Scripts folder and a ScriptData folder
With people writing and releasing non-startup scripts for Bridge, we (and especially the users) would benefit from having them generally put in the same place. My suggestion is to follow the organisation of Photoshop ie Bridge/Presets/Scripts.
Then, some scripts generate data files, access help files, etc, these need to go somewhere. Xbytor and I discussed this a while back in relation to Photoshop and agreed to use subfolders (I use the subfolder AndrewHallScriptData) within a new folder ScriptsData within the Presets folder. I suggest the same would work for Bridge ie Bridge/Presets/ScriptsData/YourFolder/
I am an absolute beginner to Bridge scripting so don't take the above as indicating I think I know better about this stuff than anyone else, I don't. Maybe some of these issues are misguided due to a lack of thorough understanding - if so I am happy to learn more. My issue is that I am about to release some Bridge / Photoshop scripts and I would like to organise them sensibly along the sorts of lines outlined above.
Andrew

I agree that, in the long run, things will get to be a real mess with global variables and function names conflicting right and left and anarchy in the menus if there aren't some guidelines. It probably won't happen soon because there won't be a flood of add-in scripts for awhile, so Adobe probably has some time to figure this out.
Along the lines that Andrew started, here's what I would suggest:
1) To solve the conflicting name problem, use the "#script script_name" directive (or invent a new #namespace directive) to automatically scope all global variables/function names to a single namespace under that directive. Since some functions need to be public, make a new way to declare just those as public. Perhaps use the #export directive to explicitly declare variables/functions that should be visible outside your #script namespace. Allow all script files with the same #script name to automatically be in the same namespace.
This would give you the best of both worlds. You'd have easy sharing between your own scripts by just using the same #script name on all of them, all variables would be private by default and you'd have a simple way to list the few functions/variables that you wanted to be public.
2) Menus. I like the menu flexibility we have now. It needs to be expanded to include other user interface elements like the filter's drop-down menu and other interface elements like toolbars. What I think is missing (or I haven't found) is the ability to have non-startup-loaded scripts that just automatically appear in a generic "scripts" menu. This would be just like actions automatically appear in the actions UI in Photoshop or filters automaticaly appear in the filters menu. Bridge should have a "scripts" menu for scripts that don't need to be loaded at startup and only need to run when invoked. This would also contribute to the namespace collision problem because scripts loaded in this manner would run, do their thing, and then be unloaded and wouldn't have a chance to conflict with other scripts that were run the same way.

Group Policy - Computer Startup Scripts - Add/Set Default printer

Good Morning.
Let's say we have 2 offices, A and B, and only 1 user. The user is using Roaming Profiles. Each office has its own printer.
What I am trying to do, is make a Startup script that is specific to the COMPUTER being logged into so when any user logs into that computer, they get the printer in that office defined and set as default.
I am able to do this successfully with my script but ONLY if i have the script be on the USER side of GP (i.e. in the Logon script section)
That is great that that is working however, when my user goes to Office B, they still get mapped to Office A's printer if I use that method.
So I figured I could just modify my GP and run the same script from the STARTUP section of the computer, rather than the LOGON section of the user. It does not work.
Here is my script:
Set WRFCUNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
PrinterPath = "\\fileserver\MAINTELLER"
PrinterDriver = "PrinterDriver"
WRFCUNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath, PrinterDriver
WRFCUNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\fileserver\MAINTELLER"
This is where I Have the script placed:
     Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts(Startup/Shutdown)
Once i'm in there, I double click Startup, click Add, and select my script which is named:
     MainPrinterSetup.vbs
I have this GP applied to ONE OU, and that OU has ONE computer in it (my test computer)
I login with a brand new user called "testuser" (creative, huh?) and basically nothing happens
except they log in and have some Microsoft Document Image Writer printer set as default (which by the way sure does slow the PC down to the point of it almost being broke if anyone actually tries to print to that by accident)
No Main Teller Printer, no anything.
The strangest part about this is, if i apply this script to the user LOGON scripts, it works fine, the printer is there, and is set as default. (but see above why that wont work for my situation)
So obviously the script works fine, but I guess i'm missing something when it comes to applying GP's to Computers rather than Users.
Can anyone shed some light as to why the script is not running (i'm guessing the script isn't even attempting to run, rather than failing, but i have no way to know that)
Thank you in advance!!

EDIT: Here are the PC's info that i'm working on:
     Server: Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (where my GP's are created and managed with AD)
     Target PC: Windows XP Professional SP3
EDIT #2: I manually navigated to the Script file after logging in and "opened" it and it added and set the default printer no problem. the issue is definately with the script running at startup.

I wanted to clarify a few things:
1. While it is true that printer connections are usually per user, it is definitely possible to create "global printers". There are a number of ways to do this, but two methods that come to mind are using:
a. "Rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry" option with the "/ga" switch. The "/ga" switch is the key here since it allows you to deploy printers "per machine" instead of "per user". More information
about this is available at:
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/NetPrinterAllUsers.htm
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624057%28WS.10%29.aspx
http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Logon/logon_printer_computer.htm
http://www.robvanderwoude.com/2kprintcontrol.php
b. The Print Management console that is available in Windows 2003 R2 and higher can help you deploy printers "per machine" in addition to "per user". More information about this is available at:
http://www.czsolution.com/print-management/print-management/print-management-console.htm#DeployingPrintersByGroupPolicy
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753109%28WS.10%29.aspx
2. As Guy mentioned, Group Policy Preferences can help set the default printer. But there is another way to accomplish this. The problem with the computer startup portion is that it runs before the user logs in. And applying this script
in the login script section would not work per computer unless you used loopback processing. So another way to do this is to place a script that sets the default printer into the "All Users" startup folder. Items in the "All Users"
startup folder run for any user that logs into the computer, but it runs in the user's context. So, this script would effectively set the default printer on a "per machine" basis. The script method is a cruder way to approach the problem,
but it will help get the job done. Here are some resources on setting the default printer via script:

**SOLVED** TrueCrypt - Why would you add it to startup script?

Hi Guys,
This might be a stupid question, but...
I read the wiki entry on TrueCrypt (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TrueCrypt). I'm assuming the use-case for TrueCrypt would be if someone management to get hold of the hard-disk, the contents would be encrypted, so they stil couldn't be read?
However the tutorial mentions you can add the mount procedure to your startup scripts so it will auto-mount if the machine is rebooted.
My question is; if someone has your hard disk (say they plugged it in as a second drive on their laptop, which they did have root access to); wouldn't they be able to read the startup script file and then they would know the password to decrypt the fs?
Am I missing something..? :S
--Solved--
Last edited by tommed (2010-06-04 09:13:57)

that is true, but if your password is actually a keyfile, and that keyfile is stored on a usb, whenever you boot up with the usb connected, you can automout your encrypted volume.
this is also a matter of comfort vs security, since if you believe your machine can be compromised, you can remove it from begin auto mounted or leave it when you know your system is currently safe.

Registry startup script for computer-based proxy configuration

I am attempting to deploy computer-based proxy server settings via importing a .reg file to user PCs as a startup script. It has appeared to work on some PCs but not on others. We have a mix of Windows XP Professional x86 and Windows 7 Professional x64 PCs
in our domain.
I am not sure whether to use "reg import" or "regedit /s" in my batch script.
Before trying the batch script method, using "Computer Configuration > Preferences > Registry" settings did not work.
I have created a GPO, applied it to an OU containing computers and used the following settings:
Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Scripts > Startup
Batch Script: regedit /s \\FQDN\netlogon\wmproxy.reg
Registry File:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
"MigrateProxy"=dword:00000001
"ProxyOverride"="<local>"
"ProxyServer"="proxy.FQDN:8080"
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components/Internet Explorer
Disable changing proxy settings = Enabled
Make proxy settings per-machine (rather than per-user) = Enabled
As at the beginning of my post, the settings deploy to some PCs but not all and I have yet to see it work on the Windows 7 PCs. Am I attempting computer-based proxy settings the wrong way, or am I missing something with how I am currently trying to deploy
it?
Thanks all!

Hi,
You mentioned you have tried to configure the computer-based proxy settings via GPP but it didn’t work. Before going further, would you please let me know how did you configure the settings?
In order to narrow down the cause of the issue, I suggest we’d better collect the following information.
GPMC.log
==================
a. On domain controller, click Start ->Run, type GPMC.MSC, it will load the GPMC console.
b. Right click on "Group Policy Result" and choose wizard to generate a report for the problematic computer and user account (please place appropriately). (Choose computer and select the proper
user in the wizard)
c. Right click
the resulting group policy result and click the "Save Report…" => save report to save the report to a HTML file.
Once we get the GPMC.log, please check the detailed report logged in it.
You said you have created a startup script to edit the registry key to configure the proxy setting of the computer but it worked on only some of the computers in the domain. Have you tried
to run the script on the problematic computer manually to see if it works? If it still fails to run, it could be related to the script issue, then we’d better ask in the script forum.
