  2. DNG files cannot store xmp metadata

    I use Adobe Bridge to manage my DNG photos, but noticed that I cannot add keywords to my photos' metadata recently. Every time I try to add keywords, it shows "The file cannot store XMP metadata. No changes will occur."

    Around 3 weeks ago, I was able to modify DNG metadata in Bridge (don't know what's the version by then).

    Files are with read & write permissions as usual. Purging cache in Bridge does not help.

    Adobe Bridge 13.0.4.755, MacBook Pro with M2 Pro chip, MacOS Ventura 13.5

  3. Can't reliably batch-embed metadata in Bridge anymore (using Bridge 2023)

    Often when applying a preset metadata template or nearly always when individually selecting a series of images in Bridge to apply captions, descriptions, locations, keywords, etc. Bridge now tries to generate new thumbnails as soon as I start typing in a field (or pasting into a field) and will not allow me to embed or add new information into any fields if I have a larger number of raw-format files in a folder.

    For example, I'll have a set of 500+ DNG format photos from an event and after waiting for Bridge to generate the thumbnails, I'll apply my standard…

  4. Using tab key to move down to next metadata field sometime moves the cursor UP to previous field

    Starting with Bridge 2023, using the tab key to move to the next metadata field down no longer works properly. Instead of moving down to the next field, pressing the tab key will randomly move UP to the previous field instead. This is happening on several computers with different user accounts, so I know it's not machine specific or user error.

  5. GPS:Altitude does not propagate

    If I assign GPS Lat, Long, and Altitude to a RAW file (Canon CR3) in Bridge v13.0.3.693 and then process it in PS 2023, the resultant JPG file has no altitude. The Lat & Lon values propagate to the JPG but not the altitude

  8. Bridge 2023 - metadata placard reappears

    When I turn off the Metadata Placard, it reappears when I reopen Bridge. I'd like it to stay hidden.

  9. Metadata panel does not update

    After performing numerous Metadata keywords and description edits across 100+ files in the Content Window, selecting an individual Thumbnail no longer updates the Metadata panel. In order to refresh the Metadata panel, you must click into the dialog window of each metadata element.

  10. Issue Changing Copyright Status When Adding IPTC Core Metadata

    When adding data to all the fields in the IPTC Core fields, as soon as I access the copyright status drop-down menu and make a choice (e.g. "Copyrighted") it automatically asks me if I want to make the changes to the REST of the metadata fields. If I say "Yes", it makes all the changes EXCEPT to the Copyright status; as it stands now I need to do this as a second, ADDITIONAL step...a small issue, but very annoying, especially if I have a large number of files I'm batch-adding metadata to.

  11. Bridge CEPHtmlEngine hangs up c/o custom metadata panel extension

    I’ve installed the custom metadata panel extension for Bridge and when I press the Settings button in that panel I'm given two choices one of which is the “Open View Editor” and below it I select default and then a new window opens with a spinning circle and just gets stuck permanently. I later got a system message that this process is stuck…

    High CPU usage due to CEPHtmlEngine

    On another thread (below) someone seem to have a similar experience and someone came to their assistance asking for logs. I followed the steps and have logs to share if that…

  12. Bridge October 2022(13.0) Metadata panel (Expand All) not being remembered.

    After choosing all of the metadata options I want shown by default in "Preferences" and selecting "Expand All" to see these choices for each image at all times these settings are not being saved when Bridge is shutdown. I have to go back and click "Expand All" each time I fresh start Bridge. This used to work fine in 12.x. I use specific metadata all the time and would like it to be shown by default each time I run Bridge and select a file. I created my own custom template thinking that would work but this does not fix…

  14. v13.0.1.583 1. defaults to template folder. Will not keep my template.

    Defaults to template folder. Will not keep my custom metadata panel. I have to click on the drop down, select my metadata, then select 'keep original metadata but append...' then select OK - for EVERY image. If I go back to this later, it has defaulted to the template folder again. How can I make it default to my metadata?

  15. metadata is not taken from cr2 file

    I add metadata via Bridge (e.g. description/keywords) to a CR2 file, resync the folder into Lightroom, so that metadata should also be inserted into Lightroom. Now when I write new files from Lightroom, the metadata is not sent along.

    I would also use the Bridge Photoshop image processor, but it doesn't offer the option to resize the image by specifying, for example, only the long side.

  16. Métadonnées

    Plus de raccourcis 'CTRL enter" pour valider. Les mots clés et les métadonnées restent dans la zone de saisie, qui ne se rafraichit pas. Gros problème pour savoir ce qui est renseigné.

  17. Metadata fields fail.

    -name of the field not showing (it's description, keywords and title on the sample image).

    -the size of the space for the names is oversized and it is fixed, can not be reduced.

    -copy-paste in these fields has some issues, it randomly puts previously copied text to a new loaded image

  18. Metadata fails to populate (IPTC Core)

    This isn't an "idea," it is something that is broke. I've spend several hours on two different days with chat support, and no one can figure out what is wrong. I have multiple images that I apply metadata templates - actually thousands of images in a wildlife photography application. I've been doing so for many years now. This recently quit working on all images that have been processed (RAW images). If there is an XMP file containing processing instructions, when I apply the information from a metadata template, or enter the information manually, when I leave the images nothing has…

  19. Metadata File Properties: Application field Displays out of date information

    The <Application> field in <File Properties> displays out of date information. If I update a file using PhotoShop Elements 2021 (PSE), the <File Info> field in PSE correctly shows that PSE updated the data. However the equivalent field in Bridge 2022 shows the previous application (ie, my camera). Both ACDSee and IrfanView correctly show that PSE updated the file. I use this field to recall what files have been updated and is therefore important. I may well continue with ACDSee instead.
