Why can't a folder sort preference be independent of that of another folder?

I have folders I want sorted manually, others by creation date (reverse), and others by filename. Yet, Bridge, inexplicably, changes all sorts to whatever you just sorted.
I never really noticed this until I spent 3 hours doing a manual sort on folder A. Switched to folder B. Sorted that by filename. Came back to folder A and it was now sorted on filename. When I changed it back to manual I was disappointed to see that all my work was lost.
This is real strange, Adobe. Why do you do this? Or...am I misssign somehting?
Thanks,
Mark

You should not have lost all of you work.  Bridge saves the manual sort order in a hidden file named “.BridgeSort” in the folder with the images.  You can change the sort order to anything else and change it back to Sort Manually and Bridge will restore your manual sort order.  You can visit other folders, change their sort order, close and reopen bridge, reboot your computer, and still return to the original folder and choose sort manually, and Bridge will restore you manual sort for that folder. As long as you don’t delete the “.BridgeSort” file, this is how it is supposed to work and how it always works for me on my Windows 7 PC.  Try showing hidden files and make sure the hidden file is still there.

  • Why can I no longer sort songs by popularity?

    Why can I no longer sort songs by popularity?

    It seems this is a "backwards" upgrade from Apple in their iTunes 11 release....like you, I used to use that function in the iTunes store to sort through and decide which song version to purchase.   (For a large returned list of songs...see all...then sort by any of the headers, including Popularity...this functionality is now gone.)  
    The iPad always suffered from this...was never able to sort on those same column headers with an iPad.   It seems, this new iTunes release killed that functionality on the Mac as well.
    Just one of the few things that went wrong with number 11!
    Better luck next time,

  • Why can´t I use original HPinkcartridges from one HP printer to another HPprinter it says use origin

    why can´t I use original HPinkcartridges from one HP printer to another HP printer, it says use original cartridges -
    but they are original?

    If the printers are identical that should not be a problem. If the printers are not identical then it simply will not work. Each printer uses different cartridges unless it is from the same model group as the other.  
    In analogy that would be like asking why the spark plugs from a Porsche don't work in your PT Cruiser.

  • Why can't I drag and drop songs from one playlist to another?

    All of a sudden I can no longer drag and drop songs from one playlist to another.  The only way I can do it now is by selecting the song[s], right click on them, and then choose "Move to playlist...."  Any thoughts?

    Yes! This is really annoying. I don't know why they couldn't keep the functionality from the old version. The more I use the new iTunes the less I like it.

  • Why can't I save my password protected file in a password protected folder?

    I've just encrypted my folder which contains password protected files. I've attempted to save a new password protected file (Word document) but have had to save it to my desktop because when I try to save the file to the folder I receive a message: "Word cannot save or create this file. The disk may be full [which it is not] or write-protected [which it is]". Sooooooo. Does this mean I can only password protect the folder and not the files? Which is really annoying because I really do need the two levels of security. Please can someone help?

  • Why can't I open iCal preferences?

    I have followed the advice on here which says to delete the ical.plist file in the preferences folder but there is no such file there. I have done a search for the file also and come up empty. It was working fine until I tried to sync ical with google calendars and somewhere in that process it stopped working. I have reinstalled the application but I still can't do anything with ical. The application opens but I can't enter an event or open preferences and probably anything else either. I am using Mac OS X Version 10.6.8
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    There are can be reasons PDFs cannot be opened. For example, some forms created with Lifecycle Designer cannot be opened.
    Are you sure the file is a PDF? Can you open it in Adobe Reader or Acrobat on a Mac or PC? Does it give an error message when you try to open it?

  • Why can I no longer sort my albums by release date in recent iTunes?

    In the older versions of itunes I used to be able to create playlists for each of the artists in my music collection and they would be listed in chronological order ie: by the release date, so that the most recent album would appear at the top, this option is no longer available to me, why? Also why was the cover flow feature removed? My music collection is quite large, close to 4 thousand albums and I want to be able to organise itunes in the same way that I organise my CD collection, alphabetically and chronologically and ideally with the option to organise artists by surname not by first name, in a logical manner. So I guess my question is, can it be configured to work in a more logical and common sense way as it used to be?

    I still can't see it. I had two other people try to look it up and they can't see it as well. This has been tried in WIndows 7 and Mac OSX. Both with fully updated iTunes applications. I'm also worried about the other keywords associated with my podcast not bringing it up either. Searching FFXIV only brings up the first two podcasts for me. Searching Final Fantasy XIV brings up a ton of podcasts, but ours isn't listed. Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing when I search for FFXIV.

  • Why can't I click on Preferences?

    My iCal tab won't show Preferences as a bold, clickable option. I have made sure I don't have any appointments highlighted, so it won't think I'm in the middle of a function. I just want to go to Preferences, but it is not highlighted or clickable. What gives? Thanks.

    Emory,
    If I understand the description of your problem correctly, I believe that you can solve this problem by clicking on the small silver oval button in the upper right hand corner of the iCal preferences window.
