Update keyword list in Bridge after reinstall?

I've had to reinstall CS3 after an OS reinstall. All my photos are intact, with the Bridge info intact. When I bring them up in Bridge I can see the keywords on the photos just fine.
What I don't get is an updated list of keywords in the Bridge keyword panel. That defaults to the original Bridge install.
Is there any way to get that list - the one in Bridge itself - to regenerate/update based on the keywords attached to my pictures?
Thanks for any help.
Ed

I've solved the Kewords in Bridge problem, thanks to other posts and good backups.
The file "Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml" contains the keywords that are listed inside Bridge. It's located in the Application Data folder (exact name of folder varies by version of Windows and install preferences). I dug up this file from my old install and replaced the one from my new install, and the keywords are now listed inside Bridge.
It was only luck I still had the file; clearly it should be backed up regularly.

    How can I access keywords in adobe bridge after labeling them?

    There's a search box in the upper right corner of Bridge. Just type in the keyword and it should show up in the Content Panel.
    What if you want to save your search in a Smart Collection?  A folder that would permanently hold the results of your search?

  • SiteManager doesn't update the list of websites after creating a LiveCopy

    Hi,
    I am facing a strange issue with the SiteAdmin LiveCopy feature.
    I have created a LiveCopy website from a BluePrint site. The new livecopy site is created successfully with all the necessary rollout config changes. But for some reason the SiteAdmin refresh doesn't show the website list. The page is blank. I can only see the list of websites on the left side frame. The right side frame is empty. Please see the attached image and the firebug error log.
    Any suggestions to resolve this issue are most welcome. Appreciate for your time.
    Best,
    Suku.

  • Two Keyword lists

    Hi,
    I would like to create for the two languages I use for my keywords two different keyword lists in Bridge CS4 .
    It would make things a lot easier, then to do it with one list and a undermenu - Is it at all possible ?
    thanks for your help !
    Martin

    Don't know if it is possible at all but I also don't see the benefit of it
    because you have only one Keyword panel. You can move this to another
    location (at least in the three columns Bridge provides) and in an other
    shape but it still remains one.
    To me it seems more logical to create two sets with the same sub keywords in
    different languages and nest the rest of keywords and subwords in those two
    sets. You only need to click on the triangle in front of the top set to open
    it and use this one or close the top set to get easy access to the bottom
    set.
    Maybe you might be able to create 2 different workspaces for this but that
    is all I can think off this moment.
    A last thought came up while rereading this answer and your post. It would
    be better to create a keyword list with each keyword in both languages, less
    work, no mistakes and international usable
    It would make things a lot easier, then to do it with one list and a undermenu

  • Bridge CS5 ate my keyword list.

    Actually, this has happened twice now within about three days.  Fortunately, I export my keyword CV list almost every time I update it,  so I'm not really losing much other than time, but it's annoying as it's  happened more than once.  My first instinct is to run a virus check and/or reinstall Bridge, but I wanted to see if anyone else was facing this problem, too.
    Win 7, 64-bit, Bridge ver 4.0.3.9.
    -Greg

    And the weird thing is that it doesn't happen between a shut-down and restart of the program, it just happens spontaneously, out of the blue.  (Or so it seems.)
    I checked the directory folder you suggested and everything looks good there.
    I've just taken to exporting the keyword list every time I enter a new keyword.  That way, I can always reinstall immediately.
    Maybe I'll submit this as a tech issue to Adobe....

    Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,,  Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"

    Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
    The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
    However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
    I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
    However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
    So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

  • Game center doesn't update leaderboard scores after reinstaling apps

    I had few games with some nice achievements and scores.
    I have deleted my games from my iPhone.
    After some time Ive decided to instal some of them again.
    My achievements and best scores were automatically imported into Game Center and the games.
    It was cool and it was what I've expected.
    The problem is i.e. when I play minigore and get some nice points the leaderboard doesn't update. There are my old scores but none of them are appearing after reinstalling the game.
    Simply I still see some great scores in ALL but TODAY and THIS WEEK just doesnt show my new scores even when it's high.
    Other game doesn't connect to game center at all. It shows WELCOME AGAIN QAYIN but doesn't update nor scores nighter achievements.
    Does anyone has similar problem?
    Any solutions either simply wait till update cause it is a bug?
    Thnx...

    Hi,
    According to your description, you might want to update a list item after a task is completed in SharePoint Designer workflow.
    By default, the workflow will stuck at a “Assign a task” action. When the “Task Status” become “Completed”, other actions afterwards will go on.

  • CS4 Bridge short term memory "keyword list"

    Greetings ,
    I have a Mac G4 2002 with CS4 11.0.1 and I went through all my photos in one three day period and made keywords for the relevant image selections. I love the way it works. ..... BUT !  if I turn off the machine and later come back and open bridge to quick select my photo criteria for editing, my keyword list defaulted to the bridge example list that came with the system. I looked in Preferences and did not find a selection that seemed relevant.
    I hope I am just being stupid, missing something simple like "Save As,  keyword list under name ....?" The keywords are still associated with the picture files. I can get back all of the keywords by spending a few hours and clicking one by one on every image in storage. The list eventually builds itself up to it previous glory. But shut down and you get to do it all over again.
    Thanks for your assistance !

    Yes, I do shut my computer down the correct way by going to the apple menu first and using the shut down menu function, more anal than that I close the applications that are open first prior to going to the apple menu.
    Thank you for the purge cache suggestions.
    I did purge once the cache files and it made no change in behavior.
    On your suggestion : 
    A:   [ I proceeded by opening some photo folders and clicked on some images so that the list could build up again some ( I only did a few folders ).
    Then I closed out of out of the application and the shut down. On booting back the OS and opening the application the list had still shrunk. ]
    I then repeated "A" and but on bringing the application back up I used the "Option" key hold down so that I could purge Preference files. Shrunk again!
    I tried the "purge cache for folder" option, and then Repeated "A" and the result was the same, shrunken list.
    I did learn that I did not need to shut down the computer to loose the keyword list however, it goes away with just the closing of the application option.
    I also learned that the list is not completely lost now, it defaults to a shorter list of my own words (at least now it does). That default shrunken list is consistent the last two times on re-starting the application.
    I am wondering now if there had been some error made in how a list could be put together. Like did I screw up with hierarchy protocol somehow, or should we restrict our naming to a only a two tier system instead of using a three tier system?
    From Bridge the suggestion keywords (ie: Mathew, New York, Paris) don't come up anymore. I don't have those images, but interestingly enough, I don't see those names coming up anymore.
    Earlier I did try weeks ago to reload the Photoshop CS4 package onto my computer hoping that would solve this problem. One thing I did not do at that time was use "FIND" to search out where relative preference files might lay and then dump those in the trash prior to re-install. I don't know, maybe I have no option but to try that again but by dumping the preferences prior to install.
    Since we did just try the "option key" on start of application, does this fully do the same thing?
    Thanks again for your suggestions!

  • After reinstalling Photoshop PS6 I cannot any longer save smart collections in Bridge

    Hi, after reinstalling Photoshop PS6 I cannot any longer save smart collections in Bridge. I create a smart collection by entering criteria, but when I click on SAVE, it is not saved. In my old installation (before I had to install a new hard disk), that never was a problem.
    I am using Windows 7. Before, I used a hrad disk for the system, now I have a SSD, plus seveal hard disks for data storage.
    Can anybody help me with advice what the problem is?
    That whould be great. Thanx,
    Jochen

  • How can I move my keyword list from cs3 bridge into cs5 !

    I am tring to move my keyword list from my old vista computer runnung CS3 into
    my new windows 7 computer with CS5.

    You should not have to do this.  Keywords are stored on the image and should be there on both versions.
    If one wants to moove the whole list and not wait for all the files to be re-indexed, it is is user/app data/roaming/adobe/bridge or something close to this.

  • After reinstalling Yosemite 10.10.2 Bridge opens folders very slowly.

    After reinstalling Yosemite 10.10.2 Bridge opens folders very slowly.

    Thanks Ian! I see the other topics now, and I did the deauthorize thing, although it said this computer was not authorized (I know it was because I just bought songs on it.) So I authorized it again and now it works fine! Except now it says there are 3 computers authorized, I only have 2. I guess it thinks this computer is authorized twice now somehow? I hope this bug gets fixed.

  • After updating apps list does not clear

    after updating apps list does not clear

    Easiest way to clear list is; go to settings>general>date and time and set date manually to a point at least one month in the future (I set mine to two months ahead) and then open App Store and check for updates. The list should now be clear. This is just an update history list. When finished just turn on auto date/time or set it back manually if you like and list should still be clear. If you do nothing the updated apps should start to drop off the list in about two to three weeks.
