Although we use Bridge CS4 for our image library at work, I have recently upgraded my personal computer to Bridge CS5 to see what all the fuss was about. First off, there is no significant change between 4 and 5 and I see little reason to upgrade, particularly when you consider you will have to completely reindex your image library (and of course eventually purge your old CS4 cache to save space).
The Bridge interface is basically the same between versions 4 and 5, although now you can use what's called the MiniBridge which is a scaled-down version of the program sitting open while you're in Photoshop. Nice but not terrific.
One thing I have noticed -- and so far it's only happened on my desktop machine -- is an odd behavior that is both curious and frustrating. When I'm in an existing folder and want to (1) create a new subfolder or (2) change the name of the existing folder, I often (but not always) got the following message:
As I noted earlier, this happens at random, with no apparent pattern -- and it doesn't happen all the time, which makes it curious. What's frustrating is that while this message is onscreen you can't do anything else in Bridge.
Any ideas?
