NEVER MIND: ANSWERED: Clicking on photo in Bridge CS4 opens file not in PSE 8 but in Preview

On my Mac (OS 10.6.8) I had to re-download and reinstall Photoshop Elements 8 after my hard drive crash because I don't at all like Photoshop Elements 10. (Sorry, Adobe.) Now, when I'm browsing in Bridge CS4 (which I much prefer over Organizer; sorry, Adobe) and click on a photo to open it, it opens not in PSE 8 but in Preview. The Bridge Preferences does not address where files open, so I can't figure out how to get it to default to open in PSE 8 and not Preview. Any ideas, please?
PS: Before the crash, clicking on a photo in CS4 opened it in PSE 8, not Preview.
A nice person on Google+ answered the question with this reply:
"Open bridge, then Go to Bridge (Menu bar) Preferences.
File Type Associations, change them over to PSE8 in the right hand column."

You do understand that bridge is just a browser and not an asset management program like iphoto or organizer?
You would need to get your photos out of the iphoto library unless you are using a referenced library. In any case, you don't want to be using two different programs with two different keywording methods. You cannot use bridge on the iphoto library file itself, no, even if you don't care about losing the photos it contains.

The Bridge General Discussion can give you the specifics of transferring your information over to Bridge CS6.

CS Bridge when opening file shows " Some Application Components are missing from Application Directory- Reinstall". Uninstalled with uninstaller, reinstalled from disc. Message continues only in Bridge not in PS. Please help.

What version of Bridge and Photoshop and what platform? Mac or Windows? I can point you to a downloadable installer.
If the cdrom was damaged, it may be the problem.
You would uninstall and use the CC/CS Cleaner to remove any remnants before reinstalling.

I'll be gone for most of the day, but someone should be able to help you if you get stuck.

Bridge CC opens files on simple click

Hi,
The subject says it all : Bridge CC Mac (6.0.1.6) opens files on select (simple click).
It is very inconvenient and I can't for the life of me find a place where to change this absurd behaviour or is it a bug ?
My context : MacBook Pro late 2011, OSX 10.8.5, either on trackpad or MS Mobile Memory Mouse 8000.
Regards,

I understand that I'm unfortunate enough to be the one and only to suffer this single-click plague ?
Don't know if you are the only one but at the most one of very few I'm afraid…
Do a check and repair permissions with Apple Disk Utility and double check your mouse and track path settings in the system preferences (there is a setting that lets you double click with one single finger tick).
And you can always combine the reset of prefs with the delete of plist file for Bridge in User library preferences (by default hidden, use menu go with option to reveal this library). Maybe you have to try a bit more often with reset prefs, sometimes 3 or 4 go's can do a miracle.

When right clicking an image in Bridge, the "open with" option doesn't display Fireworks

This is not the case with all the files, but some. For example, there was a .jpg file that I couldn't open in Fireworks when right clicking and choosing "open with", although Illustrator and Photoshop were both listed. Note: I have Cs5 Extended. Thank you in advance.

The "open with" menu is set in the OS, not Bridge, so open Windows Explorer and work on it from there to add what you want.

When I click on Photo Booth library it opens up the application instead of accessing my photo library

I can only access my photo library by revealing the Photo Booth photos in the finder. When I click on Photo Booth library in the finder it opens up the application Photo Booth instead of my actual library. It is possible that I deleted something last night I can't be sure. When I access the library by revealing in finder, I checked the path it gives me and it seems correct hd/user/pictures/photoboothlibrary/pictures. Can I fix this so that I can access my Photo Booth library directly through the finder?

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift ''(Mac Options)'' >''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Bridge buggy opening file in photoshop CS3

I have totally uninstalled (removing every bit!), re-installed, deleted prefs ad nauseum. If I start CS3 from the application icon (yes it is still in the default folder where I installed it *again* yesterday) all is well. If I try to open a photo from Bridge by right clicking I get two choices: open in Photoshop 10.0.1, or open in Photoshop 10.0.1 (default)
Why does the right click on either choice open a buggy problem? First I'm told the application moved (it didn't and deleting the prefs didn't help) then, whether I chose repair or not, it opens but tells me that all my filters didn't load and it lines my menu bar with at least a half dozen "onOne" menus. Then when I close I get the message that it quit unexpectedly.
I just had to go through a long process (thank you Adobe for the knowledge base!) getting my license to work again. Now I find there is some kind of communication problem between Bridge and CS3.
Maybe that's why Adobe stopped supporting older versions. The program has gotten too big and buggy?
If I drag the file from Bridge to the opened Photoshop (from the application folder) it opens perfectly. Since I have a work around, this isn't crucial, but I really wonder if anyone can explain the communication bug? Not much chance I'll spend the money for an upgrade to CS4. Especially since support will stop as soon as CS5 comes out. CS3 is buggy enough for me.

Anne, with all respect, I differ with you. It's easy to blame the user when problems happen. I happen to be paranoid about maintaining my computer and so far, after switching to my Mac, it is mainly Adobe programs that cause problems, no matter how careful I am. Of course I might avoid problems by never installing useful plugins (and sometimes it is the plugin that causes a problem). Possibly my installation of the OnOne plugins (I really love these) caused this problem with Bridge.
Computers are almost essential; for me one main enjoyment in life is working with my photos. I usually can figure out my problems on my own --learned to do that when I was running Windose :-) but in all fairness there are quirks and bugs that are NOT the user's doing. I figure if I'm not having problems it's luck as well as being careful.
Hoping you won't take offense. The few times I have visited the forums you have been kind and helpful.
Ramón, I will be checking out the Bridge forums from now on. This discussion has probably run it's course. Thank you again.

Can I use Bridge CS4 Keyword File in PE10?

I have a nice structured keyword list in PE8's Bridge CS4; I want to use it in PE10's organizer. When I import photos, PE10 brings the keywords for those pix, but not structured with sub keywords.
For example:
Places
North Carolina
Chapel Hill

Thought that might be the case - remake it is then. Thanks Bob.

Adobe Bridge CS4 window will not open MAC

I was using Bridge CS4 on a MAC OSX 10.6.8 yesterday and all was fine. Today when I went to use Bridge, there was no window open. Bridge started up and appeared normal. However, there is no window. When I select "new Window" nothing happens. I uninstalled manually and reinstalled all Photoshop software from the start. I went to open Bridge and the same thing occured. How do I get a new window in Bridge to operate?

Yes!! Success at last. Thank you Omke. Holding down the Option key while starting fixed it. That's an answer that nobody at Adobe could provide me with in 9 hours. Regards.

Mini bridge - show open files?

when bridge was first born as file browser, and integrated into PS did it have the ability of displaying the open files in PS?
I'm "kinda" hoping that a bunch of people are going to jump all over this conversation and say... of course it can do it now!
I'm very old-school and don't like the tabbed windows interface, I'm generally tossing layers around and windows are easier for me, but.... I could see that this would have some use if I was using a smaller display and if I could also use mini bridge to show thumbnails of the open files and use this to switch tabbed images. Or, if I could drag layers onto the thumbnail in Mini Bridge and subsequently bring that tabbed image to front.

I needed to set the file type association in preferences.

Check iPhoto's Advanced preference pane and make sure you're running a Managed library:
It sounds like the checkbox that should be checked is not.

Bridge cs4 opens when I click on bridge cs6

It worked for the first day but sence then I get sc4 bridge?

dfreese wrote:

It appears you have the CS4 icon rather than the CS6 icon selected. THe CS6 icon has a dark blue background with light blue letters, which is differenct that other versons.
I assume you are using 64 bit program on Win7 machine.
If so open windows explorer and click on C:>proram files>adobe>adobe photoshopCS6(64bit). Scoll down list until PS icon followed by Photoshop. Right click and create shortcut on deskdop.
If using mac same precedure, different file struicture.

Unable to view Raw Photos in Bridge CS4

I'm using CS4 and Canon 50D with Windows 7 64Bit. I cannot view the Raw photos in the Bridge viewer. They open in Photoshop OK but just not able to view in Bridge.
Thanks

Thanks for your suggestions - I made sure I had only one camera raw file and that the latest plu-in were installed. After reading the support sites I finally was able to get it working very simply - going to View and then Show Hidden Files; that worked!
Thanks Again

In Photoshop CS 6 (64 & 32), I get the error "cannot complete command because the extension could not be loaded". I can click to pass this, but none of my extensions will run. If I click on "browse in Bridge" I get "Could not complete the command Browse

Further info is that I have a current update of the JavaScript as of now, my Adobe software is all updated, as is my Windows 7 software. Everything was running fine until yesterday, and the only changes to my system were the Tuesday Windows updates. Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

I unstalled Photoshop. Then I installed on another drive. External. It did the same thing!!!! No mini-bridge, or any extentions loading. I don't know what is wrong.
I read something somewhere about a Panels file in photoshop. So I'm looking there.

Bridge CS4 gallery does not show in site in DW CS4

I am trying to put a Bridge Gallery in a page in my Dreamweaver CS4 site. I found this discussion thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3549969#3549969
I read the discussion and followed their advice. It worked like a charm - - - - until I put the files to my site.
In Dreamweaver Live View it looks great. In Preview in Browser it looks great. On my site I just get broken links: http://casa-colina.net/pages/gallery.html
Any suggestions what I did wrong? This is the relevant code on my page:
<div id="onePhotoText"><iframe src="../gallery/gallIndex.html" height="650" width="700"></iframe>

</div>
the onePhotoText div is just the big div on my page for content. As you can see, I cleared everything out of it except for the iframe. I renamed the index file in the Bridge gallery gallIndex because I was just too nervous having another file named index, even though I have the bridge files in their own folder (gallery).
Suggestions, Dreamweaver mavens?
Alex

1) How did you find that information?
In Firefox, right click > View Page Info > Media.
Your images are not where they're supposed to be. They are all 404 not found on server.
This is the gallery front page:
pages/gallery.html
This is where the thumbnails are supposed to be:
gallery/content/bin/images/thumb/
This where the full-size images are supposed to be:
gallery/content/bin/images/large/
