Re: Adobe Bridge Folder Sorting Options.

Is it possible to assign different sorting options to different folders in Bridge.
I would like my main folders sorted alphabetically by filename but I would like the contents of those folders to be sorted by "date modified" so I can easily find the latest iteration of an image.
When I sort the contents of a folder by date modified, Bridge then also changes all the other folders (including my main folders) to date modified.  Is there a folder sorting option assignment which I have not located?
Thanks for the help.

Well, then . . . .  Make is so . . . .

  • Adobe Bridge Auto-Start when Flash Card plugged in

    If this is the wrong forum, my appoligies....
    I am using Adobe Photoshop CS2 with Max OS X 10.4.8 on a PowerBook. When I plug in a flash card reader (with a card) than Adobe Bridge automatically starts and this is not what I want - I just want to open the Finder.
    I have searched through all the preferences I can think of and can't find anything relavent.
    I have had Photoshop Elements and Adobe Lightroom installed at various times but they are all currently uninstalled.
    This is a real aggrivation. Can anyone shed any light on the problem?
    Thanks

    In that case, try going to your user>library>Application Support>Adobe>bridge folder and move Adobe Bridge Opener Preferences.xml to the trash. Does that help? (Don't empty the trash, because if it doesn't do anything, you might as well put it back again.)
    EDIT meant to say Application Support rather than preferences

  • Sort Folders in Library by Date or other sort options

    I find myself hunting for folders that I've imported in the Library module.
    It would be so nice if there was an option to sort folders in the Library by date imported or date last edited or ANYTHING other than alphabetically. Seems like a easy and really obvious fix.
    Thanks!

    I too use folders as a primary means of organization. In fact, if Lightroom did not support folders, it would have been a deal breaker - I absolutely would not have bought it, period - its that important to me). We are perhaps a dieing breed - but not dead yet.
    I use collections extensively too for organization, but more for special purposes as opposed to a "lowest common denominator of organization" (folders).
    That said, I name my folders so they show up in the order I want them too - i.e. use a prefix (e.g. numeric) and they'll always be ordered properly. Interesting note: Lighroom is smart enough to auto-detect numeric prefixes and order them correctly without needing to pad with zeros (e.g. '2 Day After New Years' will come before '10 Resolutions - Holding Firm'). However, plenty of other software is not, so I pad anyway (e.g. '02 Day After New Years'... - that way they show up in the correct order when served via DLNA or anything that has alphabetic ordering but is not "numeric-prefix-smart" like Lightroom.
    PS - One of the functions of my up-n-coming Lr-sidekick-app/plugin duo is a (possibly full length) folder pane (which would generally be placed on an auxiliary monitor) - so folders are available in develop mode too. I may add a folder-sort option, although I don't need it m'self.

  • Adobe Bridge CS3 Default Folder

    How do I change the Adobe Bridge CS3 default folder?

    I still had no way to change Open With Default. MAybe I should just upgrade Bridge.
    While CS3 is not the best version of Bridge and the changing upgrade policy of Adobe (until december you can upgrade to CS6 with 3 versions back, after that it is only possible to upgrade with one version back
    But I still don't understand what you are looking for, in the subject line it states default folder but you want to have open the files in PSCS3?
    While that should indeed be the default but if that is not the case with you what does your system as default application?
    In Bridge preferences you have also file type associations that give you the option to set default application to open with per file type.
    And on your Mac you can select a file type in the Finder and choose 'get info'. In this window you also can set open with and apply to all.

  • How do I export my "manual sorting" of files to my new Adobe Bridge CC installation?

    Hi all,
    I'll try to explain my situation:
    I have Adobe Bridge CC installed on my computer. I use the "manual sorting" to view and manage my files (mostly .eps/.psd).
    I'm moving to Win8.1 and I don't want to loose my manual sorting. How do I save/export my manual sorting in order to import it on a new Bridge installation?
    Thank you all in advance,
    Francesco

    I'm moving to Win8.1 and I don't want to loose my manual sorting.
    Manual sorting is not meant for a permanent sort order nor is it designed to do so, when switching to a new window or other sort order you will loose the previous sort order. However there is a way to retrieve the last sort order used with a script Paul Riggott once wrote. But I'm not sure you can transport this sorting to a new system version because when you install a system from scratch you also need to recache the files for the Bridge Cache library. It might be possible to also copy the hidden file with the last sort order but that would mean a trial and error procedure.     
    Check this post, at the bottom is also a link for the site where you can get the script and how to install and use it:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4748987#4748987
    Personal I would use batch rename to keep the sort order safe. You can select all files in the content window and add a sequence number in front (with enough digits to match your number of files) of your existing filename. In this way you can easily resort your collection when your manual sorting is lost for whatever reason and also the files will have the correct sort order on your system folder also.

  • Adobe Bridge Search Stuck On Current Folder

    to start off, the adobe bridge search feature is loaded with glitches. sometimes it works great, other times not at all. well, today when i opened the program and tried to search for some files i found that for some reason i was only able to search in the current folder. all other options were gone and i could not uncheck the current folder option. does anyone know how to remedy this problem without a re-install?

    thanks for replying, station_two. although i am certain this is a software issue, i will provide a brief rundown of my system. im running photoshop cc on win7 on a 6 core amd cpu with 16GB of RAM and an evga 650ti gpu. my specs exceed the requirements for the software. ive experienced several glitches with bridge over time and typically it always requires a re-install and its super annoying. prior to today, i had the ability to search my entire pc but now its "stuck" on current folder and that check mark cannot be unchecked. there are no error messages, the cameras used have nothing to do with this either. this is an apparent glitch with the software but im hoping someone may know a fix without a re-install. and yes, i already reset my bridge prefs to no avail.

  • Where is the extension folder for Adobe Bridge? (Mac)

    I am trying to install the output module on Adobe Bridge. I am totally new to Creative Suite and photoshop. I can't find any information on bridge extensions at all. Here's the page I found on installing the output module- http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html
    I downloaded it but after that is says to copy it into the extension folder. Where is the extension folder? Is it is Bridge? Is it in Finder? Any information on extensions is much appreciated! What exactly are extensions? What is the difference between the extension folder and extension manager?
    Thank you!

    At first sight I can' see anything wrong about the correct locations you used.
    There was no need to delete all workspaces but that also should do no harm I would think.
    You once pointed at the bridge6.plist file but it is not clear to me what you did with it. Personally I would quit Bridge and delete this plist file manually and then restart with again holding down option and use reset preferences.
    And you did also use the reset to standard workspaces instead of the reset workspace to only reset the selected workspace. I don't know for sure this will make a difference but it is worth a try.
    And while you are in the user library to delete the plist file for Bridge also look in the folder caches in this library.
    User / library/caches/adobe/Bridge CC and inhere find and delete both the plug in and cache folder, then restart Bridge.
    Finally it might be also worth a try to download CS6, it should not be needed to do so but it was one of the earlier solutions that worked. In your ACC menu click on any app that shows blue and this brings you to the CC website. Choose download center and find PS. Click on the icon and this gives you the detailed download page. Inhere you can change CC to CS6.
    Download PS6 it and install it (this also installs the CS6 version of Bridge which was not a separate download in CS6). Then try first start CS6 and start the AOM which is installed by default in this version.
    Then when having used this once quit CS6 and try CC (or even combine with restarting your Mac).
    Hope this helps, because I'm running out of options

  • Sorting in Adobe Bridge

    When I add a photo to a folder how do I get the thumbnails in Bridge to sort automatically?  Right now I have to move them around manually.  This becomes quite a chore when I add several pictures.

    On the right hand side of toolbar there is a dropdown box with sort options.

  • Sorting by date ala Adobe Bridge

    Disclaimer: I am a complete Aperture n00b. Until now, I've used iPhoto to import my iPhone images and Adobe Bridge for everything else. In both iPhoto and Bridge, it's very obvious as to how to sort individual images by date. I am completely at a loss as to how to do this in Aperture. iPhoto imports and creates Events by date shot, but if Aperture can do this, I have no idea how to turn it on. It is importing all of the images in one batch, no matter when they're shot.
    As a bit of background, I have been doing the "Picture a Day" thing this year, but I usually do all of my digital darkroom work once a month or so and then post them. As such, I need to easily see what dates the pictures were shot. I know I can set up a smart gallery and isolate images that way, but as best I can tell, it's time consuming to then go through individually by date.
    An easy fix would for me to simply be able to turn on the date information in the file browser, but the only metadata I've been able to turn on is file name.
    I know I must be missing something because this seems like a very basic thing to do.
    Thanks in advance for any help you all can pass on!

    Welcome to Aperture, From what you say i would make a folder for the year, sub folders for every month, and a project for every day. This is my exact set up and it keeps the library neat and easy to navigate, as well as being easy to find images without searches. I also keep the same structure on the HD. for the Referenced Images.
    It is essential to split that one big import First of all.
    To sort them by date: In Browser View go to the little Q at the top right and click. Now click Add New Rule, and click Calender on the drop down list. Click the little circle that has a minus sign in the middle to get rid of all the other search fields, you don't need just now.
    Click a Date then select New Album with current images.
    You can use command click, or **** click, to select multiples.
    This is the important part: It is essential, that you do then split them in to Projects and don't leave them in a single Project. Projects are the the Containers for your Master Images, though they can be viewed in folders, It is only the Project that holds the master. You are best to keep them limited to about one thousand each. Keeping track of the Masters seems to cause a lot of problems for people here on the forum, but not if you Start off correct. To do this, keep the Album you just dropped in to a Project and do all your work from this. In this way you never have any duplicates in the project. You can work with gay abandon in the album and never get in to a mess that is difficult or impossible to reverse.

  • In adobe bridge in Tools menu below the cache submenu it only says "process collections in Photoshop". It does not give me the option to "load images in layers is Photoshop"

    No tengo la opción de cargar imagenes en capas en photoshop desde adobe bridge en el menu herramientas

    If all the items do not appear, consider resetting Bridge Preferences.
    Close Bridge, hold down Command-Option-Shift (PC: Control-Alt-Shift) and then launch Bridge again. A dialog will appear asking what you want to do. Turn on the Reset Preferences checkbox and click OK. Now when Bridge appears, the preferences are factory-fresh.

  • Adobe Bridge (CS6) - bulk action - JPEG Options must be OKed for every image

    Hi all-
    I created an action script for a watermark in Photoshop CS6. Then, I ran my script as a bulk action in Adobe Bridge (CS6) against my JPEGs. However, the JPEG Options dialog/window appears for every image in PS. Is there a way to have this automatically OK (and at the highest quality) so that I don't have to sit and click OK over and over?
    I am on a Mac btw.

  • Adobe Bridge CS4 pops error when Update Option from Help is launched

    Hi All,

    The error says

    Bridge is not in a position to check for updates.

    Hey
    Apologies I dont think I had made myself clear.
    I am trying to package Adobe Photoshop CS4 which has Adobe Bridge as a component. As per the company standards, I am suppossed to be deploying this package & installing it using silent setup. Since this is a corporate environment, they do not want any auto updates to be enabled, as well as disable all menu items related to updates. Hence I had checked through the Adobe Support Site and followed the instructions provided by using the Adobe Deployment Toolkit and supressed the updates using the tool.
    Inspite of following the steps mentioned in the Deployment Kit and the guides associated with it, I was unable to supress the Updates options that reflects under Help Menu for Adobe Bridge CS4. All the other associated programs like photoshop, Extend Scripts etc the updates are disabled. The problem seems to be only with the Adobe Bridge Update.
    I have also tried disabling the update option by
    1) Adding the Enterprise DWORD value in registry HKLM\Software\Adobe\Updater
    2) Adding the "Update" "Suppress" value in "Application.XML.Override" file while installing the CS4 Suite
    Inspite of trying the above steps the update option in the menu is still enabled and when I click on the updates menu item I get the following error message.
    Adobe Bridge
    Bridge is not in a position to check for updates.
    The cause of the error may lie in the fact that an Internet connection can be established or that you are logged in as a user without administrator privileges.
