1. Re: Output panel Bridge CS4 is blank
01af Jul 19, 2009 9:35 AM (in response to aart dijkzeul)I'm afraid this is not going to be too helpful ... but here, Bridge's Output panel is working just fine (on Windows). So I guess something is wrong with your set-up or with your software installation. Try resetting the preferences or, if that doesn't help, try re-installing CS4.

Francois C Aug 12, 2009 10:11 AM (in response to aart dijkzeul)I have the same problem on OSX. This has been an issue for 2 years? It seems there are a lot of people struggling with this. Did you ever find a solution?

Try this. It's been reported as successfully solving this issue for a customer recently.
Manually reset preferences, purge the entire thumbnail cache and reset your default workspace:
Note: If you are unable to find the Application Data folder, enable Windows to show hidden files and folders. For instructions, see the documentation included with Windows.
- Delete the entire contents of the Cache folder located at C:\Documents and Settings\ [user] \Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS4.
- Delete the "!!Last.workspace" file located at C:\Documents and Settings\ [user] \Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Workspaces.
- Delete the following registry key:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Preferences

Adobe recommends you have experience editing system files before you modify the registry. Make sure to back up the registry before modifying it.

Please reply with your results.

aart dijkzeul Aug 14, 2009 12:43 PM (in response to Matthew Laun)Hello Matthew,
Thanks for your suggestions. However, after all the steps you described, I still have a blank panel.
Attached you'll find a sreenshot of the registry key after deleting the key and starting Bridge again. One of the values says that the a script (gallery sheet versionCue ...) is disabled. Any idea if that has something to do with the problem? Do you also havew this registry value?
Sincerely
Aart

Check to make sure the Output Module has all of it's contents:
Mac: [hard drive]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4 Extensinos/Adobe Output Module
Win: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS4 Extensions\Adobe Output Module
Should contain...
folder "adobeoutputmodule" that contains some .dat files
file "AdobeOutputModule.jsx"
folder "AMT" tht contains one .xml and one .cer file
folder "contactsheet" that contains folder "resources" that contains a bunch of content in "datas", "htmls", "images", "plugins" and "scripts"
file "IncludeHelper.jsxinc"
folder "mediagallery", similar content to the contactsheet folder
folder "resources" which sould contain folders "htmls" and "scripts" with one .htm file, and 7 .jsxinc files, respectively.
If content is missing, try a reinstallation, then run the latest Output Module Update which can be found at Adobe.com/downloads/updates/
Good luck!

aart dijkzeul Aug 15, 2009 6:48 AM (in response to Matthew Laun)Matthew,
All de folders and files are available on the location you mentioned so I'm afraid there's something else wrong.
Could you please look at your registry to see if you also have registryvalue I mentioned in my earlier mail?
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/adobe/bridge CS4/preferences/disabled scripts .... Gallerysheet Versioncue)
Thank you for your help

Aart,
The Gallery View is listed in my Disabled list in the registry, but has no impact on the Output Module. Also, disabling the Output module and restarting results in it being completely missing from the GUI. You cannot select it to see it blank.
I'm afraid I'm out of ideas and it's time to contact our TS agents so that you get routed to someone with more experience troubleshooting the Bridge application. Use this link, then select your Country/Language and use that contact information. Good luck!

james_burnette Aug 18, 2009 12:12 PM (in response to aart dijkzeul)Has anybody figured this out? I thought Adobe was a reputable company. Apearently this problem has been going on for years. I've wasted about 12 hours so far.

dje-dje Nov 17, 2009 11:29 AM (in response to aart dijkzeul)This is how I was able to solve this problem on Mac OS 10.5, Bridge CS4:
go to Preferences, Output
check "Use Solo Mode for Output Behavior"
a javascript alert comes up - something's not quite right in the scripting, Adobe!
Click OK anyway, and quit Bridge.
After restarting Bridge the Output Panel came up where it should be.
good luck, dje-dje

Torsten E. Feb 11, 2010 6:26 AM (in response to dje-dje)Thanks for the tip dje-dje.
However, is anyone aware of a similar work around in Windows as there is no output preferences?
Thanks,

saied moradi Jun 9, 2011 1:06 PM (in response to aart dijkzeul)On windows platform, For bridge CS5 you need to go to edit> preferences> startup scripts and then enable all applications, then exit, restart your computer. This should solve the problem. By default bridge disable all boxes!
Good luck
