Show items from subfolders won't stick when searching (CS5)

For some reason after selecting a folder, and making sure "show items from subfolders" is selected, when I do a search in that folder, "show items from subfolders" gets deselected. Any idea why this might happen? I'm pretty sure it has worked normally in the past.

Well, in that case, it sounds like this is causing the problem. If you can't read the cache, then you probably can't read an index either.
Without knowing anything about your computer system, I'd suggest that you need to check for general account permission setup problems before looking at Bridge specifically.

Can't Set Default for "Show Items From Subfolders"

I like to view several folders and subfolders at the same time...and then view another group of folders and subfolders, etc. etc. etc....and to do that I'm constantly going to View > Show Items From Subfolders because the command doesn't "stick." I've looked around, and don't see a way to set "Show Items From Subfolders" as a default. Does anyone know a way to do that?
Thanks for any help.

You can't do so and I'm still not sure you should, it is easy to forget
resetting it and when visiting a new folder with lot's of subfolders and
files not being cached it can slow down your workflow, but that is my
personal opinion
An option for you might be to open a new window for a new search in
different folders. By default the new window reflects the current window
with all subfolder content but changes also to without viewing subfolders
after having clicked on a new folder. However switching back to the other
window(s) they still have the 'show subfolders' active.
Instead of switching folders you could switch windows (I often have multiple
windows active and cycle through them using cmd+` (tilde key).

Show items from subfolders not working

OK, this HAS to be something I've done............
PC, Windows 7, Bridge CC.
Open folder. It contains folders that have raw files, .dng files, and jpeg files.
Click and select "Show items from subfolders". It tells me there are no items.
I'm pretty sure this USED to work on this machine. It's been doing this for at least a week. I don't have any filters set, or anything else that I know of.
I just tried it on the laptop, also Bridge CC, and it works fine. Do I have some preference or what goofed up?

Yes, when I go to the subfolders, the images are there. But when I go back to the parent and try to show images in subfolders it says there are none. I figure it can't be Bridge 'cause I did the same thing on the laptop and the images in the subfolders display fine.
I don't SEE any filtering. And I've closed Bridge and reopened it, which I think resets the filters and such? Is there anywhere else I could be filtering? Again, I've restarted Bridge. I also tried different folders on different disks, and in every case it says there are no images.
I just checked preferences and I have that set to 5000MB, so anything smaller than 5GB should display, right? These are RAW files in the 40MB range. And when I go down to the child folder they display fine......
Clobber Bridge and reinstall?

Why is "Show Items from Subfolders" disabled during search?

When viewing a folder with many subfolders, the "Show Items from Subfolders" command is avaiable and I can view all (10000+) files as a "flat" list. However, if I type a keyword in the toolbar's Search box, the "Show Items from Subfolders" command is disabled. That's a big problem for me when, for example, I want to see all photos that have "skiing" in either the filename or in any of the keywords without having to open each subfolder.
Is there a reason the Subfolders option is disabled? Is there a workaround?
Thanks.

Thanks Curt.
Checking the box searches the subfolders (which also happens if you enter the search time in the Search box on the toolbar), but the results are still displayed as folders that you need to navigate into (rather than displaying all the files that were found in the "flat" format which is what the "Show Items from Subfolders" menu command does).

Location bar show items from subfolders

When searching a master folder in bridge using the show items in subfolders is it possible to limit the search to the first level of the master folder and exclude all nested folders?

I don't think so. As I read it, 'Show Items From Subfolders' is defined to display the entire contents of a folder including its subfolders in a single continuous flat view.

"No Items" is displayed when "Show Items from Subfolders" is selected

When I select the "view subfolders" menu item in a folder with subfolders and items, Bridge indicates that it is indexing. Then it displays "No Items". If I go to each subfolder individually, the images are displayed. This only happends in some folders. I purged my cache, perhaps this is the problem but it didn't help. I found a similar discussion named "View Subfolders" from 2009 with a "Helpfull answer" linked to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/332/332992.html but it is now not available. My operation system is Apple OS 10.8.1.

Show items from Subfolders in order of folders

We want to create a contact sheet of all our images, but we need the order to follow our folder order and not alphabetical order for all the folders combined. I am on CS5, but do have access to CS6 if that can be done there.
We need
folder a (a-z)
folder b (a-z)
folder c (a-z)
and not
all folders combined a-z
our images are named by job number and to rename each image with an abbreviaotn for brand be a huge task

Interesting, could be that us poor windows non cloud people might have to wait until CS7.
Of course I fully agree with the combination of poor and Windows...
But I'm not sure you have to wait for CS7, I don't think the update was needed for Windows perpetual license, only had something to do with the Retina Display of newer Macs according to this blog (did not read it fully myself):
http://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotcom/2012/12/photoshop-13-0-313-1-1-updates-now-availabl e.html
And the Cloud update was meant for problems occurring with Cloud install but yes, it seems they want to let benefit Cloud subscribers earlier with updates for newer features.
There seems to be a possibility to only subscribe for PS in the cloud but it also seems hard to find info about this, try the education section on the Adobe site.
It is also a choice, once you quit the Cloud you are on your own because you don't have a working copy left on your system like you do when having bought a copy yourself.
For me having PS, Bridge and Premiere Pro at hand including the option of also using InDesign, Acrobat Pro and Illustrator (need it to use occasionally) is very useful. Having a small business myself, it was not a hard choice to make. Monthly predictable costs for the whole Master Suite and up to date software are very useful for my situation. It's all about weighing the pro's and con's.

Problem With Show Items In Subfolders, Windows 7 64

Is there a way to make "Show Items From Subfolders" persistent in Bridge CS5. I'm on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. If I click on this under View, if I go to another folder and come back, it will not show the flattened view. Another problem, it seems not to work on all folders. For example, if I click on Show Items, say for my 1981 folder, it will work. If I then switch to 1982, and click on Show Items, nothing happens.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Chuck

That is as designed, the moment you change view or use another window it returns to normal view. That might be sounding as a disadvantage but for normal work it should not start with flat view to my opinion so this seems the best solution.
However flat view should work on al folders, provided they have subfolders with content in it. If they don't show you should first select the folder itself and with the menu tools / cache choose purge cache for folder and then try again.
Also check if you have the correct permissions for your disk and or folders.
If you need to always view the content of a certain folder in flat view take an other approach, just move all the files in that one folder. If you relay on correct renaming consider a batch rename that adds for instance the year and date (yyyymm) in front of the already existing filename.

Why won't 'Address and Search' from 'Customize Toolbar' box 'stick' when I drag it to my toolbar? I ran updates last night, and my Google searchbox disappeared and I can't get it back.

Safari 6 ?
URL address bar and Google search field are combined together in Safari 6.
Apple calls it Smart Search field.
There is no way to separate them.

Bridge Freezes when Show Items From Sub Folders

Hi all. I am trying to create a portfolio of past works. Using Adobe Bridge and Show Items From Sub Folders makes it easy to go through thousands of files. One major problem though; Bridge is not stable. When I try to view a folder with thousands of files Bridge will freeze and I have to force quite.
I am running a Mac Pro with Adobe Design CS4 Premium installed. I have 16gb of Ram and have played around with Bridge's preferences and deleted Bridges preference files. I also tried all the options list on Adobe's check list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Stephen Thompson

Bridge is not stable. When I try to view a folder with thousands of files Bridge will freeze and I have to force quite.
As a matter of fact, bridge CS4 is the most stable version of bridge, and although still not perfect yo should be able to view the folder in flat view.
It only takes a lot of time to cache if you have not done before. If cache does not start you first should try to purge cache for folder using the tools menu.
If Bridge keeps freezing first thing to try is to restart holding down option key and choose reset preferences. Set prefs again to your own wishes and try again.
You can also try to first cache the folder using the tools menu. In the folderpanel select the main folder you want to view its contents and go to the tools menu / cache and this time select build and export cache.
Depending on the amount and size of files it takes some time. Then try again.
It is able to work, as it does on my system. I have also a main folder that contains around 5000 files organized in stacks and works as it should

Show Items in Subfolders

About two months ago I noticed that Adobe Bridge was not showing all of my files. If I check "Show Items in Subfolders" they appear (or if I search for them). I know I can go check this option every time I use Bridge but since I'm in it constantly, it is really a pain. I'm not sure why this is happening because there are NO subfolders in this folder! Any clues to this seemingly strange behavior would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I have no folders within this folder only files. And some files show up without having the subfolder option chosen and some do not. All are the same type of file also. Oh, well, maybe I'll figure it out or maybe I'll just have to live with it. Thanks.

Creating Query to show items from open sales orders with a/p invoice

Hi experts,
I am trying to create a query that will show what items/quantities are still in open sales orders that can now be filled by an incoming shipment of goods, processed through the a/p invoice.
This needs to be done using subqueries, which I have no experience with. I am trying to do this using the ORDR and RDR1 tables to show the open items from the sales orders and the OPOR and POR1 tables to show items just received in to inventory. I would like the query to show exactly the open item's, their quantities, the posting date from the sales order and the customer name that can now be filled from the new shipment through the a/p invoice.
I appreciate the assistance,
Hayden (on behalf of Todd)

Hello,
try this
SELECT T0.[DocDate], T1.[ItemCode], T1.[Dscription],( T1.[Quantity] - T1.[DelivrdQty]) As "Open Qty" FROM ORDR T0 INNER JOIN RDR1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry WHERE T0.[DocDueDate] <= [%0]And ( T1.[Quantity] - T1.[DelivrdQty]) != 0
Try this query in query manager.
Thanks

Why can't I purchase movies from my Apple TV? When searching not all available movies even show up!

I've had my apple tv for a while now, but have never actually purchased anything from the itunes store directly from the device. A friend recommended "Sleepless in Seattle" to me, and since it's not in Netflix or On Demand, I decided to buy it from itunes.
In doing a search in the Movies section of my Apple TV and typing in "Sleepl", I got no results. Bummed, I went onto Amazon to see how much the DVD would cost. On a whim, I opened itunes on my computer and did a search for the movie. To my shock, it is available for purchase on itunes for $9.99!
Once I found this out, I went back to my Apple TV and searched again. The movie still didn't appear to exist. I noticed then that every movie on the apple tv only gave me the option of renting, not buying. I was going to purchase from my computer, but then thought better of it because I wasn't sure it would be made available for me to watch on the apple tv.
Is there something wrong with my system? Why can't I buy movies from the device? I can buy tv shows, so it just seems weird to me that this is limited to the movies!

Ha, ha, you are such a tool!
That profile was written in 2007 and never updated. Unlike you, I don't live on this forum. I have one 5 year old Dell gathering dust, waiting for the trash that has some kids software on it my kids never use.
Currently I own a 27 inch iMac, and a 21 inch iMac used by my wife. I just sold my MacBook Air, which replaced my MacBook Pro of two years ago. I have an AppleTV v2, and unfortunately gave my AppleTV v1 to a friend before I realized they stripped out the movie purchase feature. We also own an iPad, two iPhones, and 4 iPods, two of which are used as digital music storage for our cars.
So yes, all of my factual posts concerning Apple's shocking decision to try to hide the fact they removed significant functionality from AppleTV when they revved it, are just driven by the fact that 4 years ago I used almost no apple products. Apparently I harbor a twisted desire to hurt the company that provides me almost all of my technology of choice today, despite being an early software developer for the Mac, helping start two Macinotosh software companies in the 1980s and 1990s, and working at Apple for 2 years in the early 90s.
The truth is, Apple's products weren't so good 15 years ago so I gradually switched to Windows for professional reasons. About 4 years go I bought an iPhone, and started to wake up to the fact that Apple had done a tremendous job moving the Mac platform to the intel architecture, and was very happy to replace my crappy dells with Apple products.
But that doesn't mean I wear blinders when their product teams and marketing department makes mistakes, or does something deceptive.

Purchased items from ipod won't sync to computer

I bought a ton of music on my ipod from the itunes store. I just got an iphone, so I'm trying to transfer my purchased songs from my ipod to my itunes computer library so I can put them on my iphone, but the purchased items won't sync.

To transfer purchased iTunes Store songs from iPod to computer, select the iPod in iTunes. You can do this from the sidebar. Click on the iPod under DEVICES.
NOTE: If the iTunes sidebar is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the iPod selected in iTunes, from the menu bar
File -> Devices -> Transfer Purchases from "[name of iPod]"
Alternately, you can re-download previous purchases from the iTunes Store at no cost. On the iTunes Store Home screen, under QUICK LINKS, click on Purchased. On the Purchased screen, you can find and download previously purchased songs, including those made on the iPod touch.
NOTE: You need to be signed in to the iTunes Store using the same Apple ID used to make the purchases on the iPod touch.
Also, if you use the same Apple ID on the iPhone, you should be able re-download (at no cost) previous purchases from the iTunes Store, directly on the iPhone.

Column order in Mail (or From column won't stick)

Not my first post about this, but thought I'd try again. Back in January I was asking if anyone else had the issue where the From column just won't stay on the left side. I like From, Subject, Date, To. But one way or another, the From column jumps over to the left of To. ALL THE TIME.
Anyway, I switched to Entourage and have been using it for 8 months. But I was missing some Apple-gui-goodness and thought I'd try Mail again.
One day has passed, same problem.
So I know there's at least a few of you with this problem, but now my question is this - does not -everyone- have this problem, or just nobody else cares? Do YOU have this issue, and if so, why are you not pulling your hair out?
It's also during research like this when I see just how inaccessible Apple support really is. I've bought Applecare on every Mac I've ever owned, yet I just can't bring myself to spend an hour with someone on the phone with a...uhhh....well, an accent I have trouble understanding. Not to mention the mind-numbing-madness of rebooting, deleting prefs, root user, blah blah blah. I've tried it all.
Maybe I just needed to vent.
I'm going back to Entourage, because Mail is still a POS (it's Junk filtering is basically worthless as well, compared to Entourage, but I'd live with it if the stinking columns would stay put).
But please tell me, how is it that there's not thousands of people screaming and complaining about this? Am I just one of the cursed????? Sigh.
Quadcore G5 2.5Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7) ENTOURAGE USER. AGAIN.

JF, I did understand you. It seems you've misunderstood me, though.
My desired arrangement:
FROM / SUBJECT / DATE / TO
And that's what I've been using these 4 days without a hitch. My preferred arrangement is this:
Subject / From / To / Date
move on if you wish, I was kind of hoping for some fresh
insight - nothing personal
It seems you missed the smiley. I'm willing to figure out what's going on here, and that's the reason I've been trying to reproduce the problem. But I can't, that's all. I'm just wondering whether, according to your observations, I should leave the settings that way a few more days before giving up.
Also note that the -only- other column visible is the 'dot'
column (message status?) that you can't remove anyway.
In my case, I also have visible (both before and after making the change) Flags on the left and Size / Attachments on the right, i.e. my preferred arrangement is this:
Flags / Read Status / Subject / From / To / Date / Size / Attachments
What I've been using the last 4 days (and am still using) is this:
Flags / Read Status / From / Subject / Date / To / Size / Attachments
I clicked on the 'Drafts' mailbox, then back to the Inbox
Just tried it. No change. Your preferred arrangement sticks for me no matter what...
