Bridge CS5.1 – Disappearing File Names (Now You Don't See It All)

Feb 12, 2012 2:29 PM

Tags: #bridge #adobe_bridge #cs5.1 #– #disappearing_file_names

Bridge CS5.1. Lion 10.7.2. 27" iMac native display at native resolution.

For some reason, in Lion (but not Snow Leopard) Bridge cuts-off the bottom line of long file names (see the screenshot). Irritating. Difficult if I'm trying to distinguish between ‘Long File Name (1)’ and ‘Long File Name (2)’ where the (1) and the (2) have partly disappeared off the bottom, hidden under the bottom scroll-bar.

It seems to be something to do with the window resizing as Bridge, whilst not adapting the size of the thumbnails to fit the window size, produces a scroll-bar instead (see bottom right hand corner of screenshot). This doesn't happen in Snow Leopard.

I've tried fiddling with all the parameters which could effect Bridge's window display, but to no avail.

You can add this to the the other display problem with Adobe Camera Raw (see previous postings). Nice if Adobe could fix this too.

Sorry, this screenshot is hopelessly and incomprehensibly small owing to Adobe’s image size upload restrictions – so you’ll have to trust me on the disappearing file names and the scroll-bar.

Could you specify what you did try.

Have you also tried resetting your workspace.

The odd thing is that your filename expands over more then one line. ( I'm still not on Lion, waiting at least for 7.3) but I never seen it happen that info expands over more then one line. I'm used to the three dots in the middle of the filename to show that it is to long for 1 line.

That said, I don't wan't to interfere with your workflow but to me it does not seem the most efficient name scheme, especially when distributing files to other systems. My goal would be file info and key wording to specify

7.3 is out, but I agree that it's prudent to wait for a more mature version.

Well, gentleman (gentleman, I assume) your answers are of no real help to me unless you have Lion to test this on. There is no relevant comparison to make since I have already established that this works correctly in Snow Leopard.

And, yes, I have tried resetting the workspace; and creating a new workspace. No change. It appears to be a bug.

Yes, it is a man, I leave the qualification Gentle to you

I was more curious to the solutions you have done and when something does work on snow leopard and not in Lion will not automatically need to be qualified as a bug unless you tried different solutions.

Have you tried to delete the 'lastusedworkspace' file from the user library, resetting preferences and even deleted the plist file from the user library prefs? And did you try the default film strip mode. Or other default workspaces, is it only your own customized workspace that shows this behavior? What have you set as additional info lines in the Bridge prefs.

If it seems a bug you should report it as such at Adobe, this is still a user to user forum. But with Lion still in development and wide spread known as a bit buggy it might also be wise to throw the same bug report at Apple.
