Why is the Bridge CS4 Output Workspace an Exception?

OUTPUT is the only one of eight Bridge CS4 workspaces that does not return to its default configuration upon choosing "Reset Workspace" (although it does do so for the "Reset Standard Workspaces" option). Is there a rationale for this peculiar exception?

Maybe they thought the user would want to keep his own configuration for further output.
That module is pretty limited though – I think it's a work-in-progress that was rushed out to meet the stupid marketing deadline.

Scripting Adobe Bridge CS4 Output Module

Anyone done it? An API definition appears absent from the Bridge CS4 SDK documentation.

Thanks. I'm not familiar with ExternalObject, can you shed some additional light on the subject? Previously I've used the Adobe Photoshop Scripting Reference to figure out what objects to instantiate and invoke. I note all sorts of things I can invoke in the Bridge CS4 docs, but not the Output Module. These files you refer to on the drive, I'm not sure what you mean. I can find all sorts of jsx samples, but none pertinent to this particular issue.
Thanks again.

How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

Thank you! That was it. The option to change it is not available in preferences (though I believe it was in early CS versions). It's hidden in a dropdown menu associated with an icon at the top. It sure wasn't easy to find, and I probably would not have done so without your lead. Thanks again!

Bridge CS4 Output Only 10 Images to Web Gallery

Hello all,
I have, in Bridge, output workspace, selected 14 imges to be output to the web gallery and only the first 10 images are processed. Any idea as to why? Maybe it is as simple as a setting in the preferences? Thank you so much in advance.

If you are referring to what happens when you click "Preview in Browser", then yes, the output does only include the first ten images.
To preview the full Web Gallery before uploading it, you must generate the Web Gallery and then preview it by double-clicking on the "index.html" file which will cause it to open in your default browser.

Why not use Bridge CS4 with PsCS3?

I will post this on both the Bridge and Ps User-to-User forums as it applies to both.
I have PsCS3 and PsCS4 installed side by side in the default folders assigned by Adobe but have shifted my Bridge CS4 Cache (containing all the thumbnails and previews) from C:Documents and Settings\etc to a subfolder within My Documents, which I had previously moved to my F: drive - my main data drive.
I have found Bridge CS4 to be much more stable than Bridge CS3. Additionally, Bridge CS4 has certain features which make it more attractive and easier to use than Bridge CS3. I want to use Bridge CS4 in conjunction with PsCS3 until Adobe has sorted out the problems with PsCS4 - which at the moment is simply unuseable on my rather old and humble system.
On my system, I seem to be able to use Bridge CS4 with PsCS3 without any problems detected so far. I even have things set up such that any JPEG, TIFF or PSD file double clicked within Bridge CS4 or within Windows Explorer (Win XP Pro SP3) automatically opens the file in PsCS3 and not PsCS4 (provided, of course, that PsCS4 is not itself already running). Furthermore, even with PsCS3 running beside Bridge CS4, from within Bridge CS4 I can open any RAW, JPEG or TIFF file in Camera Raw 5.1 and use its new features (Adjustment Brush, Graduated Filter, extra vignetting capabilities, etcetera) which were not available in the last release of Camera Raw (4.6 I think) associated with PsCS3. The only problem comes when trying to open edits made in Camera Raw 5.1 in PsCS3 using the "Open Image" button in ACR - it does nothing/won't work, this is, it won't open the image with the ACR adjustments in PsCS3. That's not a big deal for me - as I am currently not doing any work within ACR (any version) and if I needed to I could simply save the ACR edits and then open the files in PsCS4, save the files as PSDs and then open them in PsCS3 to finalise them there.
Has anyone else had a similar experience, or does anyone else know of any reason(s) why I should not continue to use this workflow, at least in the short term?

I've been away. Thanks John, Bart and Buko for your responses. Think you misunderstood my post Bart, but it does not matter now. John got the correct message. Buko: of course CS3 cannot use ACR 5.x - that was implicit in my post.

Why does the published swf output from Presenter 10 fail to play when the zip output is uploaded to my LMS?

On Win 7, using Presenter 10 the published output .swf (and associated files in the .zip collection) produces only a blank browser frame (both IE10 and Chrome) on upload and launch from the LMS. The index.html file is referencing two .js files that do not exist...
<script src="./data/html/Project.js"></script>
<script src="./data/resources/ha/wr_/OpenAjaxManagedHub-all.js"></script>
Also, seem to be missing a presenter.css file in ./data/html I think the presenter.libs.js file is referencing.
Are these files required for playback and correspondingly that's why only a blank browser frame is presented on the LMS launch?
Is it possible that when I publish to my local these files are not being populated in the output .zip for some reason?
Any help isolating the cause is much appreciated!

@Willam I am wondering if the first problem has not been properly described. When viewing generated help if you right click and select View Source, as you know, you will get the HTML for the tripane window. I think Rtrown wants to see the code for the default topic. If so, that is something like View this frame.
Turning to the last paragraph, there is also some confusion there.
When this first happened, I wondered if the project was corrupted, and I tried a technique I picked up a while ago, involving removing the xpj and cpd files from Windows Explorer, and attempting to restore from the *.FPJ file. However, I get a message saying 'This file is not an HPJ file. Please select an HPJ file to open'. The project does not have an HPJ file! So I had to rebuild the project.
First, you should only delete the CPD file in most scenarios. See Opening Projects on my site. Deleting the XPJ should not be done other than in a few situations. Secondly, you then restore from the HHP file, not the FPJ file. Not sure how you would do that. Finally an HPJ file is related to RoboHelp for Word and is its equivalent of the XPJ file in RoboHelp HTML.

Just resolved the Bridge CS4 no-RAW-preview problem

I trashed the ACR 5.7 update I downloaded yesterday with the previous ACR 5.6 I had on my cloned drive and now Bridge does indeed show previews with RAW files, just as it has before. I'm hoping the Lightroom 2.7 update I also did yesterday will still play nice with 5.6. I'll find out.
Adobe has a problem with 5.7, I think.

No; ACR 5.7 is fine.
From what you said in your other thread, you were using the wrong folder to house the Camera Raw plug-in.
Here's a screen shot from and old post:
Note that the plug-in for CS4 is in a different folder from that of CS3. Also make sure you are NOT in your user library but your Root Level Library.

Why is the music unavailable on my iPad except when connected to wifi?

Why is it when I look at my music on the iPad is greyed out and unavailable unless I'm connected to wifi?

You don't need to turn iTunes Match off. Anything that has previously been downloaded before you lose your wifi can be played without wifi, anything that hasn't can't.
iTunes is essentially for people who's libraries are too large to fit onto the iPad, if your iPad becomes full it removes older titles when you download something new, thereby giving you access (albeit in some instances by wifi only) to your whole library.
If you have enough room on your iPad for your whole library or at least everything you would like on there, then there is no point in using iTunes Match.

You still seem to be missing the \ tag before and after your code, which makes it a bit difficult.
A FORALL loop can only run a single statement.
[code]
FORALL i IN 1 .. v_tab.COUNT
DELETE FROM ncs_domain.sco_item_results_bkp sir
   WHERE sir.OID = v_tab (i);
[/code]
is the extent of the FORALL. Outside of the FORALL, the variable i is undefined-- that counter only exists in the FORALL so you can't use it in subsequent statements.
You could change the FORALL to a regular FOR loop (in which case you'd lose the bulk bind benefits) so that the loop counter is visible to more of your code
[code]
FOR i IN 1 .. v_tab.COUNT
LOOP
DELETE FROM ncs_domain.sco_item_results_bkp sir
   WHERE sir.OID = v_tab (i);
v_plan :='explain plan into ncs_domain.my_plan_table for DELETE FROM ncs_domain.sco_item_results_bkp sir'---line 33
      ||'WHERE sir.OID ='||v_tab (i);
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_plan;
END LOOP;
[/code]

Bridge CS4 is slow, slow, slow (so is Photoshop CS4)

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 6000+ CPU, 4 GB RAM, Windows XP SP2 32-bit, ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics card, two 1-TB hard disks with hundreds of GB free
With Bridge CS3 it took less than ten seconds to build the thumbnails of a folder with 85 image files. With Bridge CS4, it takes almost two minutes. Anybody having the same problem?
And where have the preference options for the thumbnail quality gone? I wanted to set the thumbnail quality to 'low' for a speed-up but I cannot. The options just aren't there in the Bridge CS4 preferences dialog ... and it takes forever building those thumbnails one after one, about one per second. And as if that wasn't bad enough already, Bridge CS4 extracts more than hundred thumbnails from only 85 raw image files, according to the text appearing in the status bar next to the spinning radar icon. There is something seriously screwed up.
And Photoshop CS4 is sluggish, too (no matter if Enable OpenGL is on or off).
So by and large, CS4 is a major disappointment. I hope for some updates REAL soon. For now, I am back to CS3. :(

There is!? :o

Nope. There is no star icon, no square, and below the workspace options there's the Content pane. Why don't you simply put the thumbnail quality options where they belong and where they always have been?
EDIT: Now I found out what Michelle was talking about: the so-called path bar. Of course I disabled that silly path bar first thing after installing Bridge CS4 so I didn't notice that the UI of one of the most essential settings is located there---and
i only
there ... even though it has nothing to do with paths. (Suggestion what to do to this UI's designer removed.)

Notes & Columns- Bridge CS4

Hello,
Just a quick question, I'm in the Essentials mode of Bridge; to the right of the main content window is the Preview pane atop the Metadata and Keywords. Metadata is active and File Properties expanded, I have notes ticked in the Metadata, File Properties preferences (beneath- Rating and above- Supports XMP), but no notes field is available in the Bridge, Metadata- File Properties pane. How do I get it active?
I take it that as a user I am able to enter notes in this field (please let me know if I have made an incorrect assumption), but if not where can I enter notes regarding an image and have them displayed when using Bridge? I understand the File Info pane does accommodate this with the Description field, but this is an inconvenience when one just wants to quickly add a few words to an image for future reference.
And while I have your attention...
One other point: When using the Close Column option (after right clicking on a column header while in MetaData (now the main active window)) I have found that when I, for example, traverse to Filmstrip, then return to Metadata the column has reappeared, is there a way to turn off redundant columns so that they do not reappear when navigating back to the Metadata window?
I am sure there are options covering both of my queries, but clearly I have been unsuccessful in locating them.
Thank you.

I think the notes have to be written with some other software other
than bridge cs4 and then you can see the notes in bridge, but not
modify the notes in bridge.
For example you can make notes with the photoshop elements
organizer (windows not mac) and they will show up in the notes field.
As far as i know, the elements editor (both mac and windows) does
not have a method of entering notes that show up in the notes field.
If your in the pse8 editor and want add some kind of notes, you would
have to use the file info dialog. In bridge cs4, you can add notes using
the IPTC Core in the metadata panel, usually just below the file properties.
As for the second question, in bridge>Edit>Preferences>Metadata, you
can choose which columns you want to appear by unchecking beside
the names.
They might know different over in the bridge forum

Why is the Output Panel in Bridge blank?

When I select the Output Workspace in Bridge, the panel at the right is blank - no buttons, fields, or anything other than a monotonous dark gray surface. When I select the Output button and the Output to Web or PDF option, nothing happens.

In edit/preferences/start up scripts do you have check marks for eveything?

Bridge CS4 won't output to pdf multiple images with same filename

Hiya...my googling efforts have thus far failed!
I've got CS4, and in Bridge, I created a New Smart Collection to find all filenames in a folder containing "." or ".jpg" - which in turn searched through all the subfolders like what you used to be able to do in Photoshop CS3. Very simple stuff, but all the images are jpg's, but in multiple folders (I don't want to move them out of the folders, as the files came from an external source, and there are heaps of folders, and I don't want to pdf each subfolder seperately as it will take forever).
The problem is that some of the files have the same filenames (again I'd prefer not to rename, as it happens a lot on this project, and they are all over the place). So whilst Bridge will show the thumbnail images correctly in the content tabbed screen in my New Smart Collection, but once I've done the Output to PDF thing, for example, instead of showing both different images it has pdf only the first image but repeated it twice. And this happens multiple times throughout the pdf, the more times the same filename is used, the more times the first image gets repeated.
I know that it is messy to have multiple similar filenames, but why can't bridge just place the image anyway? It allocated a space for it on the pdf and does show it in bridge, it just doesn't seem to survive the transfer to pdf well.
The only other thing that I have done is use the below link (which was posted on another adobe forum thread) to create a custom pdf output template (nothing too fancy, just number of rows / columns, size, font etc). But I've tried using the standard bridge templates and it does the same thing.
http://www.proficiografik.com/2009/08/03/save-custom-pdf-output-template-in-adobe-bridge-c s4.html
Any help would be appreciated...even if to tell me that I am being unreasonable!
UPDATE 16/11/09
Just to let you know that I seem to have resolved the bug inadvertently with one of the Adobe updates. The below is the link for the AdobeOutputModule-2.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.zip which was released on 2/19/2009 - which allows for headers & footers to be placed in the Ouput pdf. I finally installed it today, and everything seems to be working fine now (i.e. I can pdf multiple images with the same filenames and the pdf will actually show each different image rather than repeating only 1 of the images).
Must have been a fix installed in the contact sheet templates that get installed with the update - not sure why the original version was corrupted, but I've left that with the Adobe guys (I submitted a bug report - and they were able to replicate the problem but hadn't fixed it as yet).

When I click import from disc I am asked to choose a disc and then I get this message:
The following photos will not be imported because they are already present in the catalog. To see these photos in the catalog select 'Show in Library' (the import will be canceled).
This is followed by a long list of images. If I click 'Show in Library' I can see all the images with the same filename. And then they start to automatically write over those images with images from the disc. However they keep the same metadata and keywords from the previous images. If I click on Import and deselect the "don't reimport suspected duplicates" box, it imports only the images that don't share filenames and none of the images that do.
Is there a way of setting the "Don't reimport suspected duplicates" box in preferences?
