Showing only similar filenames in Bridge

Is there a way to filter Bridge to show only those files which have a similar name?
For instance, I have a folder with the following files:
IMG_1056.CR2
IMG_1932.CR2
IMG_1932_duplicate_perhaps.CR2
IMG_1949.CR2
IMG_1957.CR2
IMG_1957_duplicate_perhaps.CR2
IMG_8973.CR2
IMG_8973_duplicate_perhaps.CR2
IMG_9921.CR2
IMG_9974.CR2
In this case I would like Bridge only to display the following (preferrably with the similarly named files next to each other):
IMG_1932.CR2
IMG_1932_duplicate_perhaps.CR2
IMG_1957.CR2
IMG_1957_duplicate_perhaps.CR2
IMG_8973.CR2
IMG_8973_duplicate_perhaps.CR2
The reason I want to do this is because I have duplicate filenames on my drive I want to be assured that they're actually the same photos before I delete one of them. Since they're from different sources I can rename the copies as I like if that makes things easier (if adding "_duplicate_perhaps" at the end makes it difficult for Bridge and there would be a better way).
I'm using Bridge CS4 on a Mac with OSX 10.6.8.

I'm not sure how stacks could help me with this.
I ended up searching for all the "duplicate_perhaps" files, gave them a color-label, then scrolled through the photos. Took me a while but fortunately the duplicates were mostyly grouped together.

  • Raw files showing only as icons in bridge

    This is a recent problem for me.  The raw files in question are ".pef" files from a Pentax k100d that I've had for quite some time.
    I started having a problem with Bridge crashing on me.  In trying to solve that problem, I started Bridge by holding down the crtl key and choosing the three option to reset preferences and purge cache.  Since doing this, all my thumbnails have disappeared and I can't get them back.  I've read and found the appropriate locations for the camera raw plugins:
    I am running 64 bit Vista. I have CS4 and found that the latest version of Camera Raw that I could install was version 5.7.  I found the install instructions on the Adobe site.  As it told me to do, I downloaded the zip file for version 5.7 and extracted.  I moved the Camera Raw.8bi file from the top directory into C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats and moved the Camera Raw.8bi file from the Win64 folder into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats.
    I also found the 5.7 Camera Raw installer and ran that.  I am still having the same problem.
    I have spent the better part of two days googling and trying to figure out what I am doing wrong.
    I've tried moving all my cache files and letting them regenerate.  I've purged the cache several times.  Nothing I do works.
    I do notice that when I go to a directory of photos that I have not been to in a while, I see the thumbnail for a brief moment.  It quickly disappears and the flower icon appears.
    Do I need to re-install Bridge?  Do I have to uninstall first?  I can't do that separate from Photoshop can I?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I tried all of those options: Prefer Embedded, High Quality on Demand, Always High Quality with every combination of Generate 100% previews.  Still nothing
    I searched for all the instances of the camera raw file and it found 4 versions of the file 2 associated with CS4 and 2 associated with Photoshop Elements that I used a couple of years ago.

  • Selecting a filename in Bridge CS4

    Hi there,
    Is it possible to copy-paste only a filename in Bridge CS4? I use a website to sell things I make and part of this requires me to upload photographs of these things to my shop on the website. When I use the image uploader on this website, I need to browse my hard drive to find the image file that I want to upload, and I have not been able to find a way to copy the filename only, so at the moment I am exporting all the images to my desktop so they are easier to locate with the image uploader.
    If I could paste the filename (all my image filename are dated_numbered) into the search bar it would be so much more convenient than a) exporting to the desktop, then deleting when I'm finished, as I do now.
    I hope this all makes sense. Thank you.
    Luke

    If you have selected a file and hit the F2 key the filename without extension is automatically selected. With cmd+C you can copy this name.
    But why not select the files you want to upload and put them in a subfolder of your main folder. From your image uploader you can select this folder and uploading of your files should be a piece of cake.
    You could also rate and/or label files to define your selection easier and with the filter panel select the criteria you have given. This will find the files instantly and those can be easily put in a new folder. It is much easier to work from a main folder with nested subfolders then from one folder with a lot of files in it

  • Get only the filename not the full path of the file.

    hi to all..
    how can i get only the filename of the file not the full path and to be placed on a textinput.?
    example:
    when i'browse the file and select sample.txt
    "C:\Users\user\Desktop\folders\sample.txt" this will be inputted on the textinput.
    however, what i want to have is when i'browse and select a file..
    textinput should only contain "sample".
    does anyone knows how to do it?

    Hi cyrus@adobe,
    How are you getting the full path of the file when you browse, I dont think for security reasons the Flash Player will aloow to do so. You can only get the file name not the full path of the file when you browse.
    Are you using Flex4..?? I am not sure whether this is possible in Flex4..However if you are getting full path and if you wanted to show only the filename then you can just use theString class split function to acehive this..
    var fullPath:String = "C:\Users\user\Desktop\folders\sample.txt";
        var splitPath:Array = fullPath.split("\");
        textInput.text = splitPath[splitPath.length-1];

  • Can i with a script force bridge cs5 to show only raw files?

    Hi
    i know there is the filter feature
    but i have every time to set to show me the raw files
    can a script show only raw files ? like *.cr2
    in short i work only with raw files
    i would like to have a solution to display only raw files
    to load with bridge and have bridge ready to show only raw files
    set it on the filter feature is boring ,seeing i use it a lot and every time i run bridge i have to set the filter every time
    thanks

    It appears that with the Sort function set to Flie Type you can bring up just the raw
    files as a group.  With the Filter it appears that it always opens up in the default mode to arrange by file name.
    You could get a script to change it to file type, but that does not save any effort over just clicking on it in the Filter section.  Whether or not you can get a script to change the defalult I would ask in the Bridge scripting forum.  http://forums.adobe.com/community/bridge/bridge_scripting

  • Photos not showing, only gray boxes

    so i opened up my iPhoto, and some of my pics aren't showing. they show when i click on them, but the like thumbnails aren't showing. only gray boxes. like the outline of the box is a dotted gray line.
    help?

    You can add a title to a pic in iPhoto - you do it - and everything else - in the iPhoto Window. However this does not rename the file. If you want to access the pics, the filename is irrelevant:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 Only*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    If yiu want to export a copy of a pic, using the Title as Filename, then use the File -> Export command. It’s one of the options in that dialogue.

  • Adding a prefix to filename in Bridge / CS3

    I need to batch-add a prefix only to existing filenames in Bridge, e.g. 15447.dng to become AR_15447.dng etc. I can't see how to place the prefix correctly in front of the filename - does anyone know?
    Thanks,
    Alex Ramsay

    Yes, of course. Problem is, it adds the prefix after the filename (i.e. 15447AR_.dng). I can't see how to put the prefix at the front.

  • Safari 4.0 is slower to show only the first web site

    Safari 4.0 is slower to show only the first web site. Once Safari is open, the first site may take 4 to 5 seconds to show, and Console indicates:
    11/06/09 17:15:09 [0x0-0x99099].com.apple.Safari[1029] Debugger() was called!
    Subsequent sites load in just one second or so (and Console does not show any messsage).
    If I quit Safari and open it again, the same issue arises: it takes longer to show the very first site (whatever it is) but not the subsequent ones (for which it is quicker), and Console shows a similar string on such very first site (but not the subsequent ones). Other examples of such string:
    11/06/09 17:15:58 [0x0-0x9b09b].com.apple.Safari[1033] Debugger() was called!
    11/06/09 17:15:58 [0x0-0x9b09b].com.apple.Safari[1033] Debugger() was called!
    11/06/09 17:17:06 [0x0-0x9c09c].com.apple.Safari[1036] Debugger() was called!
    How to prevent such Console message and make Safari also quick to show the very first page or site after opening Safari?
    Thanks.

    Not to get your hopes up, did you ever hear or figure out any resolution to this. I have a (slightly) similar issue passed along from one of my bosses, that when he upgraded to 4.0.2 it started causing issues with FTP logins through Safari. He would have to enter passwords multiple times on the same site. So initial entry worked and then every subsequent event needed a password entry. Just curious if this could be part of your problem. I tried to emulate the problem on my machines and only on the one I have the 4.0.2 update does it happen.

  • Some PDFs Show Only Generic Icon

    Hello,
    I hope someone has an answer for this.  I haven't used Bridge very much, but starting to use it to catalog a large batch of PDF files (Bridge CS5).  Most of my PDF files show actual previews in Bridge, but many other PDF files show only the generic PDF file icons.
    I eventually figured out that the PDF files that show as generic icons are all files that someone had password-protected so that the files couldn't be printed or altered.  Apparently this password protection precludes Bridge from creating previews for these PDF files.
    Is this expected behavior?
    Is there a way around this problem?  I don't know the password to the protected PDF files, so I can't open them in Acrobat Pro and change these settings.  All I want to do is view these PDF files in Bridge so I can sort them in in an efficient manner.
    I would appreciate any discussion and/or help with this problem.
    Thank you very much.

    I eventually figured out that the PDF files that show as generic icons are all
    files that someone had password-protected so that the files couldn't be
    printed or altered. 
    If a PDF has password protection you can't view and open them without this
    password, nor can you view it in Bridge (there is also no preview in the
    Finder, just a lock symbol with PDF at the bottom). A normal PDF file can be
    viewed as thumb in the content window but in the preview window you can also
    run through a multipage PDF to view its content.
    Is this expected behavior?
    Yes it is, a password is what it does, protect anyone from viewing it
    without providing the password when asked for
    Is there a way around this problem?  I don't know the password to the
    protected PDF files, so I can't open them in Acrobat Pro and change these
    settings.  All I want to do is view these PDF files in Bridge so I can sort
    them in in an efficient manner.
    There maybe someone that knows a very obscure way to break those passwords
    but I don't know of it (nor would I like to know it....) so without the
    password you will never be able to view them. Normally you won't also be
    able to undo the security of a protected file without knowing the
    permissions password also.
    So if you don't know the passwords and don't know how to get them your
    easiest option will be delete them so they won't bother you again and also
    don't take space on your system...

  • IDOC sends/shows only the delta changes

    Hi All,
    I went to tcode we02 and trying to see the details for each IDoc number and it only shows the delta changes.similarly I take the IDoc number and executing the fm IDOC_XML_TRANSFORM then it is generating xml with only the delta changes.
    Is that the expected behavior that it sends/shows only the delta changes .
    where do we do the setting so that IDoc only sends the delta changes and how do we change that
    Thanks
    Bala Duvvuri

    Hello,
    I don't know which IDoc type are you ussing, but I guess will be MATMAS or maybe DEBMAS.
    For this two IDocs you can send delta or all the data, the difference is the transaction used.
    For deltas BD21 is always used and this applys for all the Idoc messages for master data iDoc (like MATMAS, DEBMAS, CREMAS etc)
    For send all the data, this differ on which IDoc message you want:
    MATMAS --> BD10
    DEBMAS --> BD12
    So if you want to make this automatically just program a job for each program.
    Hope this will helps.

  • Possible to Have ToC Default to Show Only Top Level (collapse sublevels)?

    Howdy!
    I'll bet I'm not the only one wishing for this.  Let's say you're using Captivate 4's Table of Contents feature with a longish movie of Cp slides, which is chunked into bite-size sections content-wise.  In the ToC, though, you can't mimic that same organization scheme; at least, the learner would first need to collapse all the ToC folders you've created so they see only the top-level listing.
    This can be a critical issue:  keeping the at-first-glance list in the ToC brief enough to be inviting to learners, yet allowing learners to drive which details are currently visible.
    A movie's topical hierarchy could be along these lines, for example ...
    Section 1 - National Brands
    What are National Brands?
    Why Are They Important to Our Business?
    Working with Nat. Brands
    Practice Your Knowledge
    Section 2 - International Brands
    What are International Brands?
    Why Are They Important to Our Business?
    Working with Intl. Brands
    Practice Your Knowledge
    You'd like to organize the ToC to show only the section titles (1st level) and to suppress the 2nd-level detail (slide titles) until the learner chooses to expand the folder to see those details.
    I've tried things like grouping the slides into sections in the Storyboard view and organizing the slides into sections strictly within the ToC -- both to no avail.
    Has anyone solved for this need yet?
    I'm all ears, and you'd be doing learners of the world a huge favor.
    Thanks!

    Hi, Jim.
    Thanks for being 'on the case' and looking into this so quickly.  Your
    findings are encouraging, although my user base is generally working with
    IE 6 and FP8 or 9.
    Since the only thing I may influence is getting  IT to help push out FP10,
    I'm hoping it's more of a player- than a browser-version issue.
    I'll test things out by Monday and let you know the results.  Wish me luck!

    Dave,
    I just tested this on my local web server and it worked fine.  I created a
    blank project with 8 slides.  Created my TOC with grouping... 2 slides in
    each group.  I turned on self paced learning.  I tried with and without the
    widget and it picked up where I left off in either case.  See

    I published using FP10 and IE8 to view.  Notice any difference between
    your project and this one?
    Thanks,

  • Preview shows only one page of article

    I have a 23-page portrait-only article for which I can preview only one page.  Normally it is the first page, but if I click on any other page, the preview shows that page -- but the slider on the bottom of Content Viewer shows only the first page regardless of what page is in the preview window.  I'm a newbie at this, and this is my second article; the first one worked just fine.  Put them together in a folio, in either order, and the "normal" one shows all pages, and the other shows only page 1.  Any thoughts?
    Jose

    Silly newbies... I read some of the layout options in Plain English.  Apparently, if the article isn't set to "horizontal swipe only" it's on vertical swipe only, not "optional."  The Aha! moment came from accidentally brushing the mouse so that the preview scrolled upward, revealing the pages hidden below.  Now I get it.
