  1. custom metadata panel doesn't allow copy and paste

    Using the Adobe Custom Metadata extension, you can't copy or paste text from fields like a bag or single text. You can select the text in the relevant field, but copy/paste acts on the selected image instead. This causes the user to duplicate images instead of trying to copy a metadata value from one image to others.

    This massively reduces the useful of using the panel in conjunction with AEM or for any QA workflows.

  2. Error writing Metadata to files on network drives

    In Bridge, When trying to write metadata to files on my network drives I get "There was an error writing metadata to (file name)”. I have no problem writing metadata to files on my internal hard drive or any hard drive that is directly attached to my computer. I have found 1 other person that is having the same issue. Thank you for checking into this.

  3. 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.

  4. XMP in MOV not working randomly and without a identified cause

    Bridge is unable to set/change XMP metadata in a list of MOV files that have the same source: some are writable, some others no, and the errors are very non-speaking. There is no way to know what can be done, or IF something could be done, changed, done better. What EXACTLY, and tecnhically (suppose you are speaking with Phil Harvey of exif-tool) does Bridge need to write and change XMP MOV metadata?

  6. Unable to edit/save metdata template when custom metadata view.xml present

    Adobe Bridge CC 2021 11.0.0.83
    macOS 11.01 (also macOS 10.14 and 10.15)

    Reporting this as I cannot find any documentation that indicates this should not work.

    If I add a custom Metadata Extension view.xml that contains any of the following three Dublin Core properties I am unable to edit and save a metadata template.

    name="dc:title"
    name="dc:description"
    name="dc:creator"

    if data is already present in any of these when editing the template from the Tools menu an error dialog pops up reporting "The operation could not be completed" for the following actions:

  7. Bridge 2020 displays incorrect metadata

    Bridge shows incorrect metadata for images exported from InDesign.

    In the attached screenshot, metadata for dimensions (in inches) and resolution shown in Bridge is wrong. When opened in Photoshop, they open at the correct size and resolution (350dpi).

  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. 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…

  11. 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…

  12. Unable to apply edits to metadata sometimes

    Intermittent, unpredictable inability to add or apply edits to metadata fields such as IPTC Core using Adobe Bridge 12.0.2 and preceding 12.0.1.246 release. This is particularly unacceptable when editing metadata of multiple selected images. Worse yet, there is no error message generated! You must check file by file, metadata field by field, to see if the edit was applied. This seems to persist in certain image files but not others.

    When only one file has metadata added or edited metadata, clicking the lower right corner “Apply” icon results in either:
    1. the added or edited metadata disappear from the field…

  13. Date of Change not correct

    The date of Change in the Metadata panel of Bridge 2021 (Mac OS 10.14.6) is not correct (yesterday, but it was 2 years ago...). The file info shows the correct date (see screenshot). I worked with this folder at this timestamp, but not with all files. So maybe this is the date, where the cache file was created (?).

  15. Tools / Metadata / complete list I've created not showing so I can not edit or or add metadata to photos from templates

    Tools / Metadata / complete list I've created not showing so I can not edit or or add metadata to photos from templates

    The program acts like there is a finite number of metadata templates you can show, currently it gets to about S on my lists then jumps to A. If your go backwards is still skips Z to S

  16. Modified GPS data in Bridge does not save to .jpg file

    Bridge Version 10.0.1.126
    Windows 10 Pro

    How to reproduce:
    Modify GPS position in the Metadata in Bridge. Click another field. Confirm Apply. Check the photo in Faststone Image Viewer by hovering the mouse at the right and then clicking on the Go to Google Maps button to see if it took. The attached lighthouse is on the east side of the island but the coordinates that come up in Faststone Image Viewer are still the original wrong coordinates. Correct coordinates are 46,8.4322N 62,30.0139W.

    Expected result: the applied coordinates would update the JPG file.
    Actual results: Bridge remembers the new coordinates…

  17. Can't type in new Capture Time

    When I want to change a Capture Time, I can select and place my pointer to type in a new date/time, but that does not work. I must instead scroll through the calendar to find and select the date I want. That is very slow. I think it must be a bug that the date/time field appears to be editable, but is not.
    I scan photos and so do lots or date changing. Too slow the way it it now.

  19. Pannello Metadati - IPTC - descrizione

    Nel pannello dei metadati IPTC alla voce DESCRIZIONE non permette di scrivere . Qualche volta scrivo la didascalia e le parole chiave ma scrive solo le chiave e non la descrizione nelle immagini dove ho aggiunto i metadati. La finestra delle descrizioni e delle parole chiave non si allargano facendo apparire tutte le parole. Tutto questo succede solo in IPTC e non in IPTC CORE

  20. Bridge does not show color space of AI or PDF files

    Bridge 14.x does not show the embedded color profiles of at least Illustrator and Acrobat files. (AI and PDF).

    In the metadata section it simply says next to Color Profile: Untagged.

    But these files do have embedded Color Profiles. 100%.

    Bridge is simply not reading them. These are Adobe native files. Bridge should be able to get all available information out of those files.
