    Where is stored the Folder label registry location?

      When I put a red label on a File that has xmp metadata, I can retrieve these values later and this will be stored in the file or in a side-car xmp file.

       

      But Folder can't have xmp.

      In this case, where is stored this info about the color label of a Folder? Only in cache? Is there a hidden file ( like, for example ".Bridgesort" hidden file for manually sorted items)

       

      I noticed that I I label a folder in a common accessed network from computer A, I can retrieve that value from another computer B by rebuilding the cache parent folder of the labeled folder.

      It can't be the file C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS6\Cache\data\store because it is inacessible from other computers on network.

      So is must be some hidden file on the same directory of the labeled folder.

          Found it.

           

          Its an hidden xml File created from Bridge when I use labels or ratings on children folders.

          It is called ".BridgeLabelsAndRatings"

           

          to get it from bridge, just try to use this

          Folder([myPath]).getFiles("*.BridgeLabelsAndRatings"); // the name works like a long extension file (the dot in the beginning is important)

           

          and this is an example.

          <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>

          <bridgedata version='1'>

            <labels version='1'>

            <item key='_d_10772009' label='Select'/>

            </labels>

            <ratings version='1'>

            <item key='_d_10772012' rating='1'/>

            </ratings>

          </bridgedata>

           

          This is updated from others computer over the same local folder network only when cache folder is recreated.
