Preview SVG's in Bridge?

When I try and preview SVG files in Bridge CS4, they just come up as icons. Is it possible to preview them in Bridge, either with a plugin or change in preferences I'm missing. I appreciate any help.

If you have the CS4 suite including Illustrator CS4 it should be possible to
view them in Bridge. Check the Bridge preferences file type associations,
they are there and check if you have Illustrator CS4 selected as the
application the should be visible in the list.
And also select one file and with right mouse click menu choose purge cash
for selection. If that helps you can either use purge cache for Folder in
the Tools menu or select all other files and again choose purge cache for
selection.

I can't preview svg files in bridge cs6 on mac 10.6.8. Help!

Hi, I want to know why can't I preview svg files in bridge cs6 on mac 10.6.8. It's really frustrating as an increasing number of Illustrator files are saved in this format and I need to check through a gazillion of them. Help!

Thanks for the promt reply Omke!
That was the reason why the thumbnail icons weren't showing up in Bridge. Saving to include XMP data somehow brings in the previews in Bridge.
I don't really need SVG files for print jobs (prefer .eps or .ai), however this appears to be the preferred file format at the picture library where I bought the vector images.
Darn, I was hoping that was not the solution, as in order to view the images in Bridge, I will first have to open and re-save them.
Seems painful but thanks all the same. Would there be a way in Bridge to batch open and re-save files in another format, say from .svg to .ai ?

I am unable to get same preview image colors in Bridge and Lightroom

I am unable to get same file preview in Bridge and Lightroom. The Lightroom preview image (in both the Library and Develop) is more de-saturated. But the exported/saved jpegs match. If I try to match the Lightroom preview image to the Bridge preview image, the resulting Lightroom export colors are off. I have tried this with images with no changes and with changes and the result is the same. I have Lightroom 5.6 and CR 8.6. I am using the latest version of Bridge.
I contacted Adobe support and followed all instructions to try to fix but the problem remains. This comment was made after several solutions were tried, including updating Lightroom. :
Adobe: there would be little difference in case of preview of Bridge CC and Lightroom 5. However, after exporting it would be same. Both use different technology at the background and work in a different way. The preview which you see in lightroom is not the actual image but incase of Bridge you see the actual image ( original ). That's the reason there is a color variation between previews.
Me: But how can I then use the Lightroom preview to get accurate colors when processing a RAW file? If I do adjustments to the RAW file in Lightroom it looks different when exported. That doesn't seem to make sense when Lightroom is designed for photograhy
Adobe: Please check in develop module of lightroom.
Me: Nothing changes in the develop mode. The image looks the same as in the preview/Library mode.
This screenshot shows the unmodified images in Develop (Lightroom) and ACR (Bridge). The color differences are significant.
Lightroom exported jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in Develop (which looks like Bridge preview image not the Lightroom preview)
Bridge saved jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in ACR
Any suggestions on what I need to do to Lightroom to make it show accurate colors. If not, I don't see any point in using it to process files.
Thanks, Marie

Bridge is just a browser. It displays according to the embedded color profile but assumes sRGB for all untagged images.
In Lightroom library previews use Adobe RGB and in Develop the working space is Pro Photo RGB.
The real question is why use both Bridge and Lightroom. Stick to one, not both.

Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC, administrator issue?

Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC.
When i try to upate Bridge, it says:
Bridge is unable to check for updates, cause it can't connect to the internet or user is logged in as a non-administrative user.
So then i have to log in as a administrative user to the Bridge...and update..
Can't it be done easier???
I must also say i have also Bridge CS6 installed on pc and there everything is working fine.
Thx.

1/ Adobe Bridge should be possible to open without administrator issue.
By default it does, something seems wrong with your install
2/the images DO appear first for 2 or 3 seconds , then it turns to a RAW file icon.
Again indicating a wrong install, you see the embedded jpeg previews briefly but then the Raw thumbs should be build. When you see the generic Raw icon this means you don't have the correct version of the ACR plug in installed to match your camera or no converter at all.
Try this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
3/i only succeed in openening Bridge descently , so with ableing to see RAW files , WHEN i go to c:/progamfiles/Adobe/AdobeBridhecc/Bridge.exe
When, If i copy the exe file for opening Bridge CC and i put it on the Desktop, it DOES NOT Preview the RAW files.
Here you have lost me. As a Mac user I'm afraid I don't know nor understand anything about .exe, I download the .dmg file for an application which then automatically opens and I just click on the install icon, provide admin password and serial number once and then start using it without bothering about install ever again

I can't preview RAW files in Bridge CS5 or open them in Camera Raw

I've been using Photoshop CS5, Bridge and Camera Raw 6.7 with no problems whatsoever. I recently upgraded the OS on my MacBook Pro to 10.8.5 and can no longer preview RAW files in Bridge, or open them in Camera Raw.
I've downloaded the Adobe DNG converter, but would much prefer to using my existing workflow if possible.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help!

Adobe doesn't support CS5, an when I spoke to Apple, I was told that this is a known issue with OS 10.8.5 and that they're working on a patch. In the meantime I'm using Adobe's DNG as a workaround.
Have not heard before of this Known Issue, also find it hard to believe being true. But can't test my self because I only have CS6 and CC installed and always use Photodownloader to convert to DNG upon import. I have just installed the 10.8.5 update and checked in Bridge CC pointing to an attached card reader. no problem in showing the CR2 thumbs, it works as always and as expected.
To my knowledge Bridge CS5 is already 64 bits and I can't think of any valid reason why an OS update would cause this problem so suddenly (but I'm not a technician I have to confess…)
However, I would first try a check and repair permissions from Apple Disk Utility and also try Cocktail (good and cheap 3th party maintenance application for Mac) to clear caches and check permissions.
Also try a new user account just for testing to rule out your current account as the culprit.

No MPEG preview or playback in Bridge CS5

After doing a clean install of CS5, everything seems to work well except for Bridge.
HDV mpeg clips will not display a visual thumbnail
or playback in preview window of Bridge. When double-click
ing icon, I get an error "Windows
cannot find '%ProgramFiles(x86
)%Windows Media Player
\wmplayer.exe'.
When I double-click an AVI file, Bridge finds and uses Windows Media Player just fine.
Need MPEG preview badly!!!!
MPEG clips are working fine in Premiere Pro CS5 and AME rendering is awesome!!!
Thanks, rg

Hi Rick,
Regarding br asc's reply:
can you purge the video file in thumbnail panel to get new thumbnail?
I can playback mpeg video in bridge on my windows 7 64bit machine.
I am not sure what you did or what exactly did br asc meant.... Anyhow, let me describe my problem and what I did to overcome it:
My Problem:
In Bridge CS5 version 4.0.2.1, I am having problem previewing .MOV files. My .MOV files are from various source such as iPhone, 5DII, 7D, 550D and a few camcoders. The funny thing is some .MOV files preview ok while others not. It is not source dependent either as I've checked, by that I mean something like I have two .MOV files from say, the 5DII, with exact same settings when recorded, why does one preview ok and the other not in Bridge CS5???
What I did:
(1) In Bridge, go to menu
Edit > Preferences (or Crtl K for Wins), go to the File Type Associations (on left pan) and make sure QuickTime (.mov) is associated with your QuickTime Player on the right pan.
(2) In Bridge, go to menu
Edit > Preferences (or Crtl K for Wins), go to the Cache (on left pan) and click the [Purge Cache] button on the right pan to Purge All Cached Thumbnails and Previews.
After doing (1) & (2), I am able to preview every .MOV in Bridge CS5.
Not sure what I have done different to anyone else, but it seems to work for me. Hope it helps...

Script to view SVG files in Bridge?

Is there a script to view SVG files in Bridge? I have to compare 55k images converted from eps to svg.

Very grateful for your response and time.
The Application I am talking about can be found when you open up a NEF file in Bridge and look at the Metadata tab on the right. Within that is the File Properties tab and the Application Ver. is the 3rd item from the top (after Filename and Document Type).
Yes, I do have only the one ACR file (Camera Raw.8bi.) in the program file/COMMON FILE/Adobe/plug ins/cs3/file formats.
I have also realized (brilliantly late in the game) that it is only the NEF files shot from my new D300s that do not work. No problem with the NEF files shot with my D100. So this leads me to conclude that my Bridge/Photoshop CS3 does not support the Camera Raw 5 that seems to be required for the D300s. Argh.
By upgrading my camera equipment, I have outmoded my requisite software.
I must say, that the recent post advisory on the forum site ("Raw files appear as icons") was supremely timely. While this does not solve my problem, it did help me understand the compatibility issues with the D300s and CS3. I have learned the following: D300s are supported by Camera Raw 5.5 which does not work with CS3. Is this correct?
Dazed, but not beaten down,

Preview multiple artboards in bridge

Hi,
I am using the subscription service so I have the most current version of illustrator and Bridge. When I create multiple artboards in an illustrator file and I then preview that file in Bridge I am only able to preview one page/artboard at a time. What I would like to do is see an overview of the illustrator file and all artboards at once with the ability to zoom in and out in bridge at high resolution the more I zoom in.
I have found if I save my illustrator file with the "create pdf compatible file" option not checked it does work but it does not allow me to see a hi-res preview of the entire file (all artboards at once) in bridge. I am just let with a low res preview of the entire file.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

The next question is how do you re-order artboards? In other words, if I add a new overall artboard and it becomes #5, how do I change it to become number one and push all the numbers for the other artboards up a number?

Where has the preview panel gone is Bridge CS5?

Today when I opened up Bridge, the preview panel on the right hand side has disappeared. It shows as being selected when I go to the Window Menu but it isn't there. The scroll bar is also missing so I can't view all of the thumbnails. Does anyone have any ideas about why this has happened and how I can return it to it's normal format? Thanks, Michelle.

Fantastic. Thank you, much appreciated

Is there a Refresh Preview option in Adobe Bridge CS6 (mac)?

Hi,
Just been doing a short tutorial on creating a web photo gallery with Bridge CS6..I notice in the tutorial that there are two options for preview ie: preview in browser and refresh preview.
Try as I might I cant seem to find refresh preview..I have to keep opening a new browser to see preview..
Does CS6 Bridge have this option or is it only preview in browser?
if it does have refresh preview how do i find it?
Im using the MAC version of cs6
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

my key key point is i would like to be able to preview a pdf photo gallery in bridge instead of having to go back & forth to a browser..
As said, not much experience with Web gallery but I do do recall the difference for CS6. The refresh Preview button indeed has been removed and it seems to have something to do with difficulties using the Opera browser and also something with Flash in Bridge before but now I'm on very thin ice so don't shoot me if I'm wrong.
So sadly enough you are bound to use the default browser for your previews instead of the output preview use before CS6
On the other hand it is also showing how other people will see in. in a real life browser

Full Screen Preview is Soft in Bridge CS4

I'm experiencing some notable softening of images when previewing them with full screen toggled on or when viewing images as a slide show. Type of file seems irrelevant (CR2, TIFF, JPEG, etc.) nor does image size make a difference. The strange thing is that when I mouse click on an image after toggling to full screen (which brings it to 100%) the image then appears sharp. Stranger yet, when I open a jpeg previously sized to fit my monitor at 100% I must still click on it to achieve a sharp image. Images otherwise appear fine in all workspaces and no hassles with nVidia 195 drivers. I've tried all options for thumbnail previews, reset preferences, purged cache all to no avail. Is this a bug or does a solution exist? Win XP sp3.

Curt's statement about known problems with Photoshop and Bridge is the understatement of the decade. At least as it pertains to my Nvidia GeForce 9800GT running a Gateway FHD2400 and HP w2408 monitor.
Upgrading from a stable install of CS2 to CS4 was a nightmare that cost me hundreds of hours with Adobe, and alone, with no solution. Even their "clean" utilities failed to remove the software (CS2 & CS4) from my computer for a clean install of CS4. I was forced to do a total format and reinstall of everything on my system. That was a two week nightmare.
After all that a clean install of CS4 still presented the same problems with PS. The final solution was to reinstall PS7 and use it in lieu of CS4. For my digital workflow it works just fine. Photoshop CS2 and CS4 do not like co-existing on the same system with some unknown software driver from the one interfering with the other.
The problems with CS4 were two-fold. The first was an extremely slow scroll rate no matter the video display settings or PS4 settings utilized. By slow I mean the zoom (Ctrl + 0) and then scroll around the screen using a square marquee would take up to 5 minutes on a, roughly, twenty megabyte file with no layers. The same process in PS7 took approximately two seconds per image side. The same image was uploaded to Adobe with similar results. No resolution to the problem came to light after two weeks of back and forth.
The other problem is that PS CS4 constantly comes with up the "...includes graphic card acceleration..." popup window. This, even though it has been disabled and enabled in PS. Neither option prevents the popup from appearing. The problem lies somewhere with Adobe's handling of the pasteboard (that area beyond the actual image) and its interaction with the video driver.
From both of these problems as explained it would seem that Adobe has known of the problem for some time. This iteration of the software works beautifully on a non-Nvidia system and various different Nvidia drivers have been tried. Since Bridge CS4, which is used continuously throughout a fifteen hour workday, works, I suppose I should count my blessings.
The most stable Nvidia GeForce 9800GT driver I have found to be is version 181.20 with video bios version 62.92.52.00.07
I will seriously consider whether or not to purchase the next version of Creative Suite when it appears. My experience has been that Adobe's corporate policy is to charge customers via new versions with fixes for problems that existed in earlier software builds. And then to create new dilemmas!
And thank you for all that you Curt.

Previewing Rif files in Bridge

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a plug or something that will help previewing rif files (corel painter) in bridge.
I know there is an application that can do that, but I prefer to work with one and not many so i'm not looking for a workaround....
thanks
shlomit

Found A Quick Look plugin for viewing Painter files for win/mac here. http://painterfactory.com/blogs/spikes_blog/search.aspx?q=rif+file After installing you have to resave your file in Painter then you will get a preview you where looking for.

Inconsistent Previewing Raw Files in Bridge

About two weeks ago, without warning, I was no longer able view my raw files in bridge. The strange thing is, when looking at raw files from a CD in bridge, it will give a preview of about 75% of the files. I am running leopard on my MAC OS X 10.5.4, using CS3, 1) always updating when it needs to be 2) i have reset all my preferences in bridge. Has anyone else run into this problem? Cheers

This sounds to me like you installed the updated plug-in incorrectly.
It's a common mistake to pick the wrong plug-in folder when copying Camera Raw. Unlike Photoshop plug-ins, plug-ins which work in Bridge must be installed in the 'Common Files' directory branch. On my computer, Camera Raw (Camera Raw.8bi) can be found here:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CSx\File Formats
Similar Photoshop-only plug-ins are located here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CSx\Plug-ins\File Formats
Note that they are similar but different, and consequently quite easy to confuse. Also note that you should ONLY HAVE ONE copy of 'Camera Raw.8bi' installed (or two if you're running 64-bit Photoshop). So, if you previously installed the update in the wrong place, you should remove it, and put it in the correct place.
Hope that helps.

Preview color problem in Bridge CS 5.5

I'm having the following problem with the thumbnails and previews in Bridge CS 5.5.
After I've scanned an image, the preview matches the colors I expect, with nice saturated colors.
After opening the image in Raw and making a few changes such as crop I press done and return to Bridge.
The preview I get is much less saturated then it was before.
When I reopen the image with Raw it first appears less saturated but shortly after, the saturated color returns.
Saving the image as a Jpeg gives the correct, saturated colors.
This problem first occurred after registering the product and receiving an update for Raw.
Extra info: I'm working with Nikon .nef files. Converting them to Adobe .dng format solves the problem.

You must have done a screen shot of the thumbnail as the enlarged version is same size. But can still see difference.
I would revisit your thumbnail setting and make sure it is HQ Iif you want to see edits in thumbs, and check the default ACR setting. Don't assume they are the same as computer can do unexpected things.
Read the link I gave in post #1 as see if you have all the correct options selected.
When you click on thumb does the preveiw panel show the same dull image or a correct one?
It is possible the update fouled everything up, but seems like there would be more complaints. I am still on ACR 6.4 however. Am a slow adopter.
