    File names on Bridge CS5 slideshows

    Soula-55 Community Member

      Currently when I ran a slideshow on Bridge CS5 (Windows platform), I want the name of the file to appear. My problem is that sometimes the names of my files are very long, and so the middle part of the file name is trunkated.

      My question is, is there a way to change some parameter somewhere so that the entire name of the file appears instead of part of it

          Not in the normal Bridge preferences, maybe using a customized script might give you that option but for that you better drop that question in the dedicated Adobe Scripting Forum, there are also the people that know a lot about scripts.

           

          For what its worth, while current systems don't have that much trouble with long filenames I still think it is not the best way to do, you have far better options with IPTC description and keywords to define the subject, a yyyymmdd-'one subject word'-sequence number keeps your system and overview more visible and the files in a natural sort order. But that is my personal opinion...
