Opening mini bridge in Indesign

I have the updated and full versions of Indesign and Bridge, however I want to open Mini bridge in Indesign to use the programmes together but when I go to the window button there is no option to open the Mini Bridge.
Any advice on how to open mini bridge??

Check under Edit > Menus... to be sure it is listed and visible.

  • Mini Bridge in InDesign

    Mini Bridge in InDesign does not show folders within the Picture folder on my Mac platform. How can I resolve this?

    It shows it for me (below). But did you notice that the folders aren't mixed in with the pictures in the Picture folder. They appears in a list on the left as shown.
    If you're not seeing that, try restoring your InDesign preferences and/or your Bridge preferences. For InDesign use this method:
    Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences
    For Bridge, quit out of the application. Launch it, and hold down Cmd + Shift + Option immediately after launch until you're asked to restore preferences.

  • Can't open Mini Bridge because the Extensions are not supported in PS CC Aug 2014

    OS X 10.9.4 Ps CC Aug 2014. There's File > Browse with Bridge and no File > Browse with Mini Bridge chance. Neither can I open Mini Bridge from the Extensions panel, because Window > Extensions (not active). Adobe Extensions Manager CC is blind. HELP please

    To my knowledge mini bridge is no longer supported.
    You can run the full version of bridge which would be running anyway for mini bridge to work, then use that to view or open files.

  • Opening mini bridge in Photoshop, how to

    trying to have mini-bridge open while PS is also open to preview the pictures I am working with. I went to Windows>extensions> but extensions is not highlighted

    You failed to mention what version of photoshop you have. The reason it is important is with photoshop CC 2014, mini bridge has been discontinued.

  • Extensions Panel greyed out in Photoshop CC on a Mac. Can't open Mini Bridge

    I've just (yesterday) joined the Adobe Cloud, with full access to all the Adobe programs.
    Opening Photoshop, I also wanted Mini Bridge open but the 'Extensions' item on the 'Window' menu is greyed out and can't be selected.
    I've tried opening Bridge first, the Photoshop and vice versa, either way, the problem is the same. I've checked the Photoshop Preferences under 'Plug Ins' and made sure 'Load Extensions Panel' was ticked (which it was originally)
    So, basically, no matter what I try, the Extensions Panel seems to remain greyed out.
    Can any of you good people come up with the reason why this is happening and how I can solve i please?
    Many thanks in advance

    My main plug-in (resize 8) is not yet compatible, and so PS thinks there are no extensions, hence it's greyed out. but it took several days of troubleshooting to find this out.
    If your resize 8 plug-in is from onOne then you need to install version 8.5.1 for the plug-ins to be available through extensions.  Even before the 8.5.1 update to the suite the resize 8 plug-in was available via the File->Automate... menu item after a re-install of the suite so it detected CC 2014.

  • How do I enable mini bridge in InDesign CC

    Mini Bridge seems to be missing from my Creative Cloud versions of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.
    How do I enable Mini Bridge?
    I am up to date on all versions of the apps and I am running on a Mac.
    I am able to use the full version of Bridge for browsing.

    Unlike Peter Spier, I have installed Bridge CC and it is operational. I followed the instructions in the link to "trash" preferences. (Really, he should have given the backup advice BEFORE telling you the steps to delete... for those who followed our cake recipe given last week, here is the antidote...)
    Alas, deleting preferences didn't seem to help. I've deleted preferences for both Bridge and ID. Mini-bridge does not appear in the Window menu nor does it display when I shift-click the Br button on the menu. Bridge itself works fine -- so things are not at a standstill -- but this is annoying. Somewhere in my switch from CS6 to CC mini-bridge went away.
    Anyone else with an idea what I should try?

  • How to open mini bridge in photoshop

    I am trying to figure out how to open the mini bridge panel in photoshop

    Mini bridge is available in CS6 or older. It was removed in the CC and CC 2014 versions. However since it required the full version of bridge to be open anyway, might as well use it. You can drag and drop between apps, or double click on an image in bridge to open it in photoshop.

  • 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!

  • Mini Bridge does not open in InDesign after installing 8.0.2 upgrade

    This question was previously posted in the InDesign forum (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5833991#5833991), but it was suggested that I should cross post it here.
    I installed InDesign CS6 upgrade 8.0.2.  Now I cannot open Mini Bridge.
    If Bridge is not already open,
         - selecting File | Browse in Bridge...  or clicking on the Bridge button: Bridge opens - good!
         - control-click on the Bridge button: I get a Reset Settings error dialog - NOT good!  I cancelled this and Bridge opened fullscreen okay.
         - alt-click on the Bridge button: Two Bridge applications opened fullscreen! - NOT good!
         - shift-click on the Bridge button: Bridge opens, but Mini Bridge does not! - NOT good!
    If Bridge is already open,
         - selecting File | Browse in Bridge... or clicking on the Bridge button: the ruler bars dim and nothing else happens! - NOT good!
         - control-click on the Bridge button: Bridge opens maximized! - good!
         - alt-click on the Bridge button: the already opened Bridge, plus a new Bridge, both open! - is this normal?
         - shift-click on the Bridge button: the ruler bars dim and Mini Bridge does not open! - NOT good!
    I have tried resetting the preferences in Bridge and rebooted after doing so.
    My main concern is that I cannot get Mini Bridge to open at all.  I can ignore the other problems mentioned above, if I can just get Mini Bridge to open.
    This problem does not exist in Photoshop CS6.
    I have restored my C: drive from backup twice and tried the upgrade a total of three times.  The results are the same each time.
    Does anyone have any idea what is causing my problem and how I might correct it?  I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1, 3.40 GHz Intel Core i7-3770 CPU, 32.0 GB installed memory.

    Sorry to hear that, forgot to mention the resetting of preferences in InDesign.
    Have you also tried that (ctrlAltShift while starting ID)?
    I'm afraid I have not really more ideas and I am a Mac user and don't know anything relevant about Windows.
    And ultimate you have of course the option to reinstall CS6 after an official uninstall in combination with the Adobe Clean Tool. But before doing so read all instructions and have a proper back up of all relevant customized settings, workspaces etc.

  • Mini-Bridge hangs in Indesign CC

    Using Mac OSX Maverick on an Imac. Running 8mb of Ram. I have been an Indesign user since ID2 came out.
    Prior to upgrading to Maverick, I did not have a problem with the mini-bridge in IDCC. Since the upgrade, I am constantly getting the "waiting for bridge" message and it just sits there. One time it sat there overnight, spinning and "waiting on bridge". The problem is so bad I've abandoned mini-bridge completly and rely on Adobe Bridge. This is an acceptable solution but it does take a tad bit longer to switch out of ID, find the artwork I'm looking for, drag it to a box and then switch back to ID to resize it.
    I have searched the forums and have tried the solutions that have been posted but most of those were for ID CS5 or earlier. And none of them have solved the problem.
    I have deleted all the Adobe Creative Cloud software from my computer and have downloaded new versions. Still doesn't solve the problem. I tried creating a new user on my computer and it solved it for a short time, but created other problems since all my files are on my main user.
    Tried communicating with Adobe tech support which reminds me of the old saying about female anatomy features on a male pig. Even got bumped up to a Tier 2 support person, who actually suggested erasing my hard drive and reformating.  Not going to happen.
    Anyone have a more reasonable solution?

    Steve. Removed all autoload software except for Flash. No joy.
    mini bridge still not functioning properly.
    I removed the autoload software, rebooted. started bridge and rebuilt preferences and deleted cache. Started Indesign. Open mini bridge window. opened document and attempted to use mini-bridge to place art on page.

    Hi Peter,
    Just to bring you up to speed on what has happened to this issue, none of the suggestions that I received in the Bridge forum helped.  However, after restoring my C: drive back to prior to my updating attempts, I was able to successfully upgrade InDesign in Safe Mode (this is a Windows startup mode that blocks non-Microsoft applications from starting up on reboot).  Mini Bridge is now working correctly.
    Thank you again for your assistance.

  • Open iphoto folder in mini bridge

    I can navigate through my HD to my image and I know the path - however when I open bridge or mini bridge in InDesign it is not there. How can I use an image from within my iPhoto Library in In-design mini bridge?
    PS Please dont point me to the tutorial - I have watched that!

    The iPhoto Library on the Macintosh is not stored as a searchable folder when you view it from the Finder on the Macintosh. Nor can Bridge or MiniBridge view the images within it. (If you look at it in the Finder it's a single file, and I believe the Macintosh stores it as a "package" file, a container file for the images.)
    If you want to place files from iPhoto, you have two options. You can open iPhoto, and you can export out the images you need. Or, you can use the Place command in InDesign. The Macintosh does give access to media in the iPhoto library (and I think movie files) in Open and Place dialogs (but Open wouldn't work in InDesign). As you see in the illustration below, at the bottom of the sidebar is a section that includes "Photos" and that previews images from the iPhoto Library in InDesign.

  • InDesign CS5.5 Mini Bridge hang

    When I try to launch Mini Bridge within Indesign CS5.5 it hangs, giving a useless message "waiting for Bridge CS 5.1". 
    When I try to update Bridge CS5 it says the only update is a Camera Raw update and then fails to load it. 
    When I run the Adobe Support Advisors it says there are no problems.

    Check this link and follow the steps, it may help :-

  • Indesign and Mini Bridge

    Hi!
    I am using mini bridge in indesign but if i select some files and press space to get "quick preview" after i exit my files go down in the list. I have few files and i whont to chose what is the best, but it's so irritant.
    If someone need example i will record 10 sec video to see what is going on.

    Right click - go to review mode.
    Then right click on images to add a label.
    I think you can change labels and colours in bridge itself.
