  1. can't open files directly from Bridge

    From Bridge, if I try to open an image by double-clicking or hitting <return> I get the following: Previous versions of Photoshop and Bridge worked fine together - doesn't anyone test these releases in the real world before turning them loose?

    Could not complete your request because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate…

  2. We are not beta testers.

    It has become a habit of many new Adobe releases that they are full of bugs. Bridge has suffered this now, too.

    A new release is supposed to improve a product, not make it worse.

    Don't publish untested products, or warn us that it is really a beta version.

    Oh, you "need more info"? Well read all other CC2019 bug reoports then, Adobe. Some serious stuff going on there.

    If your products were this bad in the time of CD-roms, Adobe would not exist anymore today.

    Greetings from very disappointed CC user.

  5. Generated 100% previews are not used/not found/lost

    Here is the second and last issue I experienced with Bridge 2019.
    I generated 100% previews for 3000 d850 files. Took a long time with stupid modal dialog blocking UI.
    Ok after it finished I closed Bridge then closed my Win10 laptop.
    I arrived at cafe where I wanted to work for couple of hours on prepared previews.
    And guess what happened - on first file zoom a 100% preview is generating a looong time. The cache was lost!
    After trying couple of files - that's it. None of previously generated 100% previews is loaded.
    We are not beta testers…

  7. file replacement error deleted both copies

    HI! I NEED URGENT HELP.

    Bridge just vanished with my back up files from my last job.

    I made a copy of it in the organization process, and it shown me a error message when I told bridge to replace these same files back there.
    After clicking "OK" the hole original backup folder what gone, taking all the files I send to replace with it.

    It is not on trash nor anywhere else in my computer.

    Thus file replacement error deleted both copies.

  8. Bridge Is Terrible When Editing Metadata On PSD

    Bridge has always been bad when entering meta on PSDs, but lately it is horrific.

    I have a folder of PSD files. I select them all and "FILE INFO" to add a base set of meta. I walk away and do something else for a while and come back, and they are fine.

    Now, I grab a group of them, and add to the keywords and maybe change the title using the Metadata tab. Then I grab another bunch and do the same thing. It -should- queue up the changes and get them all done, however slowly it is taking.…

  9. Bridge 2021 doesn’t open or crashes on startup on iMac.

    Bridge 2021 doesn’t open or takes a very long time to open on iMac. If it opens at all, Bridge freezes or crashes completely as soon as any photo is selected. Occasionally it will continue, but then freezes on the second photo.

  10. HEVC Video Crashes Adobe Bridge 2021

    Video files create on iPhone - HEVC format - cause Bridge 2021 to hang when that file is selected, or among a group of files selected. dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe may be part of the culprit in that trying to move a HEVC file after Bridge 2021 hangs results in a 'file busy' response from Windows. Killing the dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe process frees up the file(s). Bridge 2020 does not have this issue. This happens on multiple machines and I suspect should be easy to repeat.

  16. Bridge won't import images from camera any more?

    Last week, I could import all images from my camera (Canon 5Ds and a 650D). Now I cannot import images from either camera? Gets to the import dialogue box and essentially freezes. I need to open control panel to shut it down. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.. still has the same issue. :(

  18. output module issues

    Issues in Output Module
    - Text fields for header / footer text are (still) far too short.
    - If text is longer than the field can't see what I'm typing - it shows only the left part of the text even while I'm typing beyond the field
    - Crash on generating PDF

    Can't work with CC2019, too many issues. Going back to CC2018 for the time being.
