Mini bridge CS6 no longer opens

[OliCat]

Hello,

Up until recently, I would open Bridge from InDesign CS6 in order to use the mini bridge panel.  Now I open Bridge, and when I try to get mini bridge from the Window menu, nothing happens, no error message, no mini bridge, nothing - it is as if I clicked on nothing.  Is there an option somewhere that got disabled?  How do I get mini bridge back?  Thank you for any feedback on this.

A fix in this thread:

Photoshop CS6 Extended Mini Bridge Not Working

Hello,

This is a fix for an empty mini-bridge panel.  I get no panel at all.  Also, the code in the "Terminal" window did not stay.  I copied the code line   defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.3 PlayerDebugMode  in the window and closed it.  When I go back to Terminal, the code is gone, and mini-bridge still does not appear in any way, shape, or form.  It could be because I am not the administrator of this laptop, or because I am doing something incorrectly.  But it was worth a try.

Thank you for the feedback.

Have you upgraded your operating system or any of the components? Mini-Bridge relies upon Flash-air and in newer OSs, Flash cannot work. Also, if you have upgraded your Bridge, Mini-Bridge was dropped in more recent versions.

If this is it, sorry to bring bad news, I miss Mini-Bridge as well.

Hello,

Mini-bridge could have disappeared after I did some updates, I did not take note of that, but the timing is possible.  It seems to be the trend that mini-bridge is on its way out.  I'll accept that.  Thank you.
