p.1 #1 · CS3 bridge problem

Hi all,

When I attempt to open up a medium to large amount of files at the same time through bridge it wont and give me the following error:
"windows can not access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate program to access."

This doesn't happen when i open a small amount of files, just large amounts...

Please help me meet some deadlines faster.

Thanks!

Well, since you can place any file in Bridge ... is it possible that when you go to open a large number of files that you are picking up something that is not a .jpg or .cr2. That is some other file type that just happens to be undefined.

Another thought ... opening a large number of file can take a lot of resources. Are you sure that your system is up to it. Perhaps it is just failing on the large number of files.

Sounds like opening a smaller number of files would help you meet your deadline faster. I typically open 40-55 files at a time without a problem. What kind of numbers are you talking about? Define your "small," "medium" and "large."

I've just noticed the same thing. Last night I tried to open about 50 images and it gave me the same error. No problems with 20 images, though. I don't know the problem either.

Thank you all for your input.
I ended up meeting my deadline but had to open 10 or fewer images at a time.
I am only opening raw files.

Anything more than around 10 images i still get this error.
It is quite frustrating.
I may need to uninstall and put a fresh install in. But im trying to avoid this.
Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks!

I just opened a folder with 319 files (1.72 GB), it opened in several seconds with no
problems.

Tinner-I'm glad you can do this but your comment did not help my problem at all...

I'm sorry I didn't mean to rub salt into a wound. If your copy is an early one there
are some patches for bridge available.

i was having the same problem today after fixing the raw converter issue with bridge. i turned the computer off for an hour out of frustration, turned it back on to try it some more and new updates available appeared. i installed them and that fixed the problem. i was only able to open 12 at a time. anything more, i got an error.
