Bridge bug?

Running CS5 Bridge (4.0.3.9) on Win XPPro. When I select a few files, right click, choose Move to, select a folder, click ok, and Bridge crashes and shuts down. The files get moved to the new folder, but it crashes whether I use that method, drag & drop, or use File>Move to. Does this work for anyone else?

Thanks.

I don't have CS5 and I typically do that type of thing in Lightroom, but just something to try: What happens if you slelect the images and then rather than right-click the images you right click on the target folder? Does it have an option to move the files into that folder?

It selects the folder, but de-selects the files.

Hmm, well, I'm out of ideas!

Anybody have CS5 willing to try this and see what happens?

Hi D,

no problems here, at all, with same Bridge build and Win 7 64bit.

Thanks Martin for taking a couple of minutes to check it. Is it just you and me with CS5?

I checked on the Adobe forum and found a few things to try.

Does it happen when you simply drag the files? When moving files in Bridge I always drag and drop. Never crashes.

Just checked mine and all ok which ever way I move them..

I don't know how these things are OS-dependent and how may are PS dependedt. For example, how does the Cache interact with moving folders and files? If that could be a cause of problems you could try purging the Cache and see if that frees something up?

It doesn't matter whether I drag & drop, right click>move to, or File>Move to.

It didn't help purging the cache.

I've opened a ticket with Adobe on the issue. I found the same issue with an earlier version of CS5 Bridge and was supposed to be fixed, but evidently it didn't make the 4.0.3.9 update. According to a response - disabling the startup scripts and then terminating a certain process would isolate it. I tried it and it still did. Guess I'll have to wait for Adobe.

Thanks.

get the files where you want them using a regular file explorer. edit them using bridge/photoshop. simples.

it does illustrate just how badly written adobe software is, that it can crash on such a trivial operation.

While there are certain instances I do that, it'd be in pita to do it all the time. I don't use the Move option often, but would like it to work.

Could someone with CS5 check if you have the following file?

\Documents and Settings\[User name]\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS5 \Adobe Bridge CS5 Settings\Adobe Bridge CS5 Prefs.psp

The only ....Prefs.psp I can find is under Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder.

Thanks.
