Can I exclude certain file types in the Photo Downloader?

Hi there!
I am very new here, so please do correct me on etiquette and if I'm doing something wrong. I've been searching the web for quite a while now but couldn't find an answer or even questions concerning this problem...
I like using Bridge's Photo Downloader, for the nice renaming and other options it gives me. Usually I want to download all images from a card and then delete them on the card. The problem I am having is that Photo Downloader will not only see images (like .JPG, .CR2 or .ARW) but camera database files and settings (.INT, .BDM, .BIN, ...). This is annoying, since I neither want them stored on my hard drive nor deleted on my card. I also would like to import movies in a different way. The way I can work around this now is that I manually deselect all non-images in the Advanced Dialog and then only download these. But I was hoping that there is a more elegant and automatic way to just exclude certain file types from automatic selection. Or even just a way to mark or unmark the images by file type. This should be very easy to implement and I am really curious if I am missing something obvious here or if this is just not possible yet.
Has anyone else thought this before? Or are you all using different methods to import images from your card reader?
Any help or comment is appreciated.

Sorry, download history is either on or off. There is no preference setting to exclude specific file types.

Photo Downloader freezes randomly during download

Hi all,
I've used Bridge without trouble since CS5 was first released, but this week, it froze during a routine download of about 30 Gb from my Canon 7D. [I do lots of time-lapse photography.] When I retried the operation, it failed again, but at a different file. I launched Task Manager and noted almost no CPU usage, either from PhotoDownloader or any other programs. I retried again, downloading just one day at a time. That worked fine (though not fun selecting the files and prone to human error). Then, I connected my GoPro Hero 4 - also no history of probems - and after a few files downloaded successfully, it failed too, but this time with an error message about failing to communicate with the device. And this time, I also noticed that all of my external hard disks spun up just prior to failure. [This might've happened during the prior failures too but I didn't notice.] Again, I downloaded in batches, day-by-day, and it worked fine.
As such, it appears that Photo Downloader is freezing or failing randomly - the fewer files I download at once, the less likely I am to have a problem. I have a hunch that another program might be accessing all of the disks on my system and, consequently, temporarily blocking communications between Photo Downloader and the USB-attached camera, but haven't seen any processes spike in Task Manager. [It may be a hidden Windows thing.] I wonder if there's a time-out value in Bridge I can increase?
I'm using Adobe Bridge CS5 (4.0.5.11) on Windows.
Any ideas?

Bad idea.
This excerpt is from a long-gone post by author Bruce Fraser:
Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21) Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.         •
        • Drains the camera battery
        • Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
        • Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
        • Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card

Adobe Bridge Photo Downloader Results without using Photo Downloader

I always used the Photo Downloader to download files, rename them and organize them into folders named by date.
I recently upgraded to a Network Attached Storage device that has a USB Port directly on the front of it and allows me to dump all my camera files straight onto the external hard drive. However, it does not rename them - so it uses the raw file names that the camera assigns them and doesn't organize them in any way.
This is really handy for me as I don't have to copy 16gb of photos across a wireless network when I want to clear out a memory card. However, I haven't found a way to organize the files after the fact.
Is there any way to have Adobe Bridge (or any other Mac software!) go through those files and move/rename them the same way that Photo Downloader always did directly from the camera? How?
Thanks!

If you are sure your files have the metadata, in other words you can place your memory card into a reader and the information is there,
next step, is a total Bridge Preferences reset
Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears. Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.

Adobe Photo Downloader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Error Code: c0000005
Address: 75e32f71
I clicked on the OK button and the downloader closed.
I did a search on this error code (c0000005) and there seems to be a workaround but no solutions, why is this? I ask that because this problem seems to be years and years old, going back to at least 2005 (do the math that is 10 years).
I don't even have the Camera hooked up and I get this error on download. I redownloaded everything and reinstalled. I allso saw the AVI issues reported with this proble so i updated Quicktime though without the camera being hooked up when I get this error I didn't expect that to work. I tried support and they wouldn't help because I bought it in March this year. Pretty frustrating as I have re-purchased Elements about every 2 years. I think I might need a new CODEC? I had this problem on an Earlier version And I seem to remember that being the Fix but this may be something completely different

I finally found that it was missing a picture so the Catalog was "corrupted". I just deleted the picture and it started working.
I hate Adobe and their total lack of support - thanks for nothing Adobe . Also get this - they offered me to upgrade to 13.0 ( My 12.0 is only 6 months old but they still don't support it on errors. Only install errors!
I have upgrade and repurchase this product 4 times now. I will find something else next time!

Adobe Bridge CS3 photo downloader won't auto-open.

Hi,
This is my mystery:
I can open Bridge/File/Get Photos From Camera/, and select my cf card drive. But the Photo Downloader box USED to pop up when I first put my card in the reader. This does not happen any more - and I can't figure out why, or how to reset it.
Any ideas?
Bridge 2.1.1.9
Windows XP Pro 64-bit
Thanks,
Karl G

This may add Bridge to your list of "Open XXX with" programs.
1) Using Windows Explorer, browse to any of the photographs on your system - not necessarily on your camera card. It's helpful if all of your photographs are JPGs or TIFs, but not necessary.
2) Right-click one of the photo files and select "Properties".
3) Near the top of that dialog is "Open with <program name>", and there should be a "Change..." button to the right of that. Click the Change button.
4) On the "Open With" dialog, click the "Browse..." button and browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS3\Bridge.exe and click OK.
5) Now, still on the "Open With" dialog, make sure the "Always use the selected program..." check-box is turned OFF. (If you can't turn it off, that shouldn't be a problem.
6) Click OK and then close your Windows Explorer.
At this point, you should be able to complete step 6) from my previous post. (Of course you'll have to follow all of those steps from my previous post.)

Photo Downloader doesn't retain previous settings (again)

Please see previous post because this issue involves Photo Downloader and ACR.
I'm using 10.6.8, CS5.1 and Bridge 4.1.0.54
I have just reloaded Camera Raw 6.4.1 due to the bug in ACR 6.5 that prevents selecting a destination folder in Photo Downloader and causing Bridge to freeze.
6.4.1 solves the freeze problem, but now it's back to the problem that none of the settings in Advanced Dialog are retained, nor does Photo Downloader default to Advanced Dialog anymore. I've added the CS5 folder as before (User/Library/Application Support/Adobe) alongside the existing CS5.1 folder, but it hasn't solved the problem. Is there a new solution to this yet?
6.4.1 works fine on my MBP using the above workaround (CS5 folder added). Because I now have a dozen new student iMacs to set up, my three-part second question is: has ACR 6.6 been tested for these two bugs; should I wait before setting up the iMacs; how long before ACR 6.6 is officially released?

Thanks Omke. I¹ll try that next time I¹m in the lab. However, on my
MacBook Pro I checked the CS5.1 folder, and there is no ³APDPreferences.xml²
in that location (it is there in CS5 folder but I couldn¹t open it). On the
iMacs, I¹m only running CS5.1. Is there a different location for it in
CS5.1?
I¹m wondering if I¹m the only one running Mac OS 10.6.8, Bridge 4.1.0.54 and
ACR 6.5 who¹s having this problem?

It¹s baffling,
That is to put it mildly you mean, can't imagine that is the only word that
came to your mind... Have you tried to repair permissions for OSX
again? I don't have the 5.5 installed so can't compare but if one system
does work, another not and you have compared both files and folders
existence in the two systems it does seem to be OS related to me? There is
also a file called "APDPreferences.xml" (user/library/Application Support/
Adobe/Bridge CS5) Can you open the files on both systems and compare the
content, it contains the settings made in advanced dialog.

CS4 Photo Downloader imports photos in wrong order

I decided to give Photo Downloader a whirl with a batch of photos I took this weekend. I had about 400 photos spread over three cards, so I had them renamed with the date and a counter. I was using the high-speed drive mode on my camera (5Dmk2) and I noticed in one spot where I blew off a run of photos, Bridge imported them in some order other than the filename counter in the camera.
I was looking at about a half-dozen shots of someone shooting a basketball and noticed that it looked like the ball came out and then was shot again, something that didn't happen in the game. Fortunately, I had Bridge embed the original filename from the camera into the XMP data and sure enough, Photo Downloader screwed up the order of the photos.
How does Photo Downloader determine the proper order to download photos? There are no options to change the import order and the software clearly doesn't just read the filenames to get it sorted out.
Any ideas? Or just stop using Photo Downloader? Or do I have to download the files, then rename then in filename order in Bridge?

It is a known issue that Photodownloader can't get this sort order right every time, the higher frequency of motordrive used the more it will screw up.
However when you don't use the rename function in downloader it will be more accurate. Feel also free to file a bug report about this using the contact button top right of this page, the more complaints the faster it will be repaired you would hope...).
I rarely have sessions with that high speed but it occurred to me also and using no rename did suit me :-)
You can then easily rename them in Bridge (also with more options) but it would be preferable that it worked right in downloader!
The ups for using downloader are still great, without this rename setting for speedy jobs you are still left with the possibility to keep the original filename (and disable that in the Bridge batch renaming option), convert to DNG, make a back up copy and add a metadata template in one go :-)

I am having problems downloading files from the web. After a number of files are downloaded, the system become sluggish, and then hangs. I traced the problem to the download history file: downloads.sqlite.

After downloading a number of 1.0 MB files, the system became very sluggish, and I started to get lots of (Not Responding) messages when trying to download or just use Firefox for browsing. Using Performance Monitor, I observed that the Firefox executable was growing larger and larger - up to as large as 1.2 GB on a system with 2.0 GB memory. Page faults were off the chart.
Looking for a similar problem, I found one that discussed the downloads.sqlite file becoming corrupted. I first noticed that this file was over 600 MB in size, so I deleted it. I then downloaded additional files, and observed that the new downloads.sqlite file would increase in size by about 150% of the size of each file that was downloaded. Once it would get up to 500 MB in size, the system started slowing down again.
I don't know the purpose of this file, but it appears that it keeps a full copy of every file downloaded, which may be the function of a download history file, but it does not seem correct that the file should grow in size without limit, and thus impact the system.
I would also appear that the Firefox executable is trying to read the entire contents of this file each time a new file is downloaded, which does not seem right.
Temporary fix is to periodically delete the downloads.sqlite file when it gets too large and starts impacting performance.. Apparently it is smart enough to open a new file if the old one is not found. I am not sure what the correct behavior for this file should be. Apparently is does not re-initialize when a new Firefox session is initiated.
Please feel free to contact me if more information is desired. I'm not sure what details you might need to troubleshoot this type of problem.

Hi Katy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
What is the exact name of the file?
Is it aim.bin?
Which requires either Stuffit Expander, or the Unarchiver to deflate.

Firefox don't close when "browsing and Download History" is deleted on exit

Firefox doesn't close properly in about 50 % of cases. When closing FF, the window closes but the process firefox.exe isn't terminated. When trying to open FF again you got the error message "Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." After terminating the process firefox.exe in the windows task manager, FF can be started again.
Error only occurs when under "Options/Privacy/Use custom settings for history" at "Clear History when Firefox closes" the option "Browsing and Download History" is selected.
All other options selected or not don't cause the issue.
I switched this option it several times. When "Browsing and Download History" at "Clear History when Firefox closes" isn't selected, the error doesn't appear.
Reproducible regardless if "Remember my browsing history" and "Remember download history" are selected or not.
Reproducible:
- after new installation of Firefox (Firefox 29.0.1 german, Windows7 64-bit)
- with different profiles, even with all addons disabled or running in safe mode
- with new profile with no addons or dictionaries installed
- with windows firewall turned off and deactivated antivirus program
- with hardware accellaration on and off
I know the issue has already reported at bugzilla.mozilla.org and described at
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997918
https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/997670
I want to describe the problem more precisely:
It only occurs when "Browsing and Download History" is delete on exit. The other option at "Clear History when Firefox closes" don't cause this issue.
Is there any other solution then to turn "Browsing and Download History" off?

From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the issue may
be caused by the clear history settings.
Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Then '''Tools > Options > Privacy'''.
The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

How do I delete all of my history on Firefox except for Download History?

I want to delete my browsing history, cookies and cache but I want to keep my download history, all of it.
I can't remember which version this was, but after updating, I deleted my browser history and noticed my download history was deleted up to a certain point, before the update. The last time I tried, I could delete my cookies and cache and my download history wasn't affected.
I see in the "Clear Recent History" dialog that browsing and download history are consider one thing. It wasn't one thing before.
I want to keep my download history but delete my browser history, cookies, and cache.

Go to '''Options''' window > '''Privacy''' panel > in '''History''' session click '''Use custom setting for History''' > '''Clear history when Firefox closes''' then Settings button is active click it and then click everything '''except Download history or other things you want to keep it '''> click '''OK''' to save it, exit firefox and restart it.
thank you

CS4 Photo downloader - can I change the default path?

I'm using Bridge on Windows 7 x64. I have 2 hard drives exclusively for photographs. I never, ever store them in 'C:\Users\Mary\Pictures'. But when I download images with the Photo Downloader, C:\Users\Mary\Pictures' is the folder I'm offered. There's no box in which to paste a folder string - and it takes 9 clicks (including a couple in the scroll bar of the dialog box) to navigate to 'S:\Pictures, Initial\2 - Initial Negative Scans\2010 Initial Scans\[current subfolder]'. Is there any way of making the downloader believe that I always want to download to S:\Pictures, Initial\2 - Initial Negative Scans\2010 Initial Scans\....? I'm used to editing the Registry, but I can't find anything to edit in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Preferences. Thanks Mary

Curt You're right, it is something in Win 7.
I remembered that I have CS4 on my laptop, which is still running WinXP, and tried the Photo Downloader there. It had remembered the last folder I pointed it to, way back in September.
I then found a note telling myself what I had done to stop Bridge from using the c:\docs & settings\.....my pictures folder in XP. I'd used a utility that changes your default pictures, videos, etc., folders to whatever you want them to be.
I never keep anything in them, so I used the utility in Win 7 to change the default Pictures folder to 'S:\Z\ Pictures'. When I opened Bridge Photo Downloader, the 'location' folder was now 'S:\Z\ Pictures'. I navigated from there to 'S:\Pictures, Initial\2 - Initial Negative Scans\2010 Initial Scans', created a subfolder, uploaded some raw files from the card reader, closed Bridge, and rebooted.
When I re-opened Bridge and the Photo Downloader, it still pointed to my last used folder. Triumph!
Thanks for your help. I wouldn't have got there without it.
I'll look on the Windows 7 forum to find out whether there's a less drastic way of doing this. After all, some people may want to keep their C:\Users\[user]\Pictures folder for non-Photoshop pix. There should be a way of doing it.
Mary

Adobe Bridge CC -- ongoing problems with Photo Downloader (scrolling, crashing, etc)

Hello Community,
Thanks in advance for any suggestions to improve my Bridge CC experience! I have recurring problems, esp. when using the Photo Downloader (in other words, daily problems) -- scrolling either up or down to select photos is a nightmare, as the scrolling either jumps or stops without rhyme or reason, making the photo selection process tedious and maddening. Additionally, if I spend more than a few minutes selecting which photos to load to my computer (i.e., from iPhone), Bridge crashes.
I have been using Bridge for about a decade, and never EVER had a single problem with it until CC. I have a 2013 MacBook Pro, all software updated, etc. No fancy bells or whistles, no peripherals, etc... Just trying to get my pictures from phone and tablet to the computer.
Many thanks.

Moving discussion to Bridge forum.

Adobe BRIDGE CS 5 PHOTO DOWNLOADER freezes and/or stops working during download after 2 years of use

Adobe BRIDGE CS 5 PHOTO DOWNLOADER freezes and/or stops working during download after 2 years of use. I have uninstalled/re installed twice, cleaned system, adjusted Bridge settings with no change. And I have found no helpful troublshooting tips in forum or on web.

Does it freeze with other type of cards. Have seem some post that suggest an imbedded CODEC on the flash card can cause file corruption in Bridge and Mac Finder.
