Problem with Copy To/Browse for Folder

Jul 23, 2012 10:56 AM

Tags: #copy_to #browse_folder #browse_for_folder

Don't know when it started doing this, but now when I right-click and select Copy To and select Browse for Folder it only shows me folders that are under my W7 user name.

I need to get to my external drive, but it doesn't display Computer.

Strange and very inconvenient.

Looking for a solution.

    Have you re-booted your computer?  Reset workspace?  If no relief there reset preferences by holding down Crtl key and start Bridge.  Will get a reset window.

    Hmm, can't imagine how my workspace would relate to what drives Bridge reads using the Copy To. My drives show up just fine in the folders view. And also in the Export to dialog.

     

    I keep my images on an external drive.

     

    Folders that are not under my user name on C drive, but still on another drive show up in the recent ones in Copy To and access just fine.

    So it makes no sense that Copy To>Browse for Folder only displays my drive C Windows user folder on that other drive.

    OK, it it does not show external it is probably that you connected the drive after you  booted up Bridge.  For some reason your OS is not refreshing the data.

     

    Could also be a permission problem, which is not uncommon with externals.  However, sounds like it worked before.  Can try to start Bridge by right clicking on icon and choose "run as administrator".

    Thanks. Unfortunately it didn't make a difference.

     

    Still can't figure out why I can access all drives, all folders from the folders panel, and can access a folder on any drive that displays as a recently accessed folder in Copy To, but can only get my User folder when I use Choose Folder within Copy To (same applies in Move To).
