Intel and AMD work way too hard to create new multi-threaded silicon just to run the same ancient, lightly threaded garf.Īt this point, I'm not sure what to tell you as far as the program and image previews go.

Even Windows 11 is largely old code shoveled into a new bin. Which, though off-topic, is one reason to hope Windows goes ARM: code will have to be rewritten instead of using ancient, buggy legacy code with an updated GUI. It is heartwarming to see Adobe hard at work improving code for the M1 platform and what must be an absolutely massive market size but only occasional bug stomps and shovelware for the comparatively teensy x86 market. So long ago I discovered that directly connecting the computer to the Z was the only solution. I got one response from Adobe but then crickets and, obviously, no solution. Other NEF files, like from a D600 or D3500, using the same card readers show thumbnails as they should in the Bridge downloader consistently. The Bridge downloader on macOS is less picky but on some computers will only show Z icons. The same reader will show Z NEF previews on some computers but others only icons. I have had that problem with more than one reader. It's only when putting a Z7 II CFE or SD card into a card reader that the problem surfaces. If you saw one of the other posts, even the problem Z7 II is not an issue if you attach directly to the camera. Memory cards from all my other cameras work fine. So lack of previews is not even an issue in these circumstances. Most of the time I want to download all the images from card anyway. I simply type in a sub-folder name and choose from metadata templates I have set up. It's already set up for the correct drive and root folder where I want the images to go. I'm not blocked from getting my images off the card and onto my computer.īut I prefer using the utility.

It seems that Adobe is trying to streamline things more with the latest updates to their software and website. It may not have been updated because it somewhat sounds like duplication to what's already available in Bridge or even LR. I can do the same tasks as you mentioned in your other reply to someone else asking about the downloader, such as keywording and applying a metadata preset. It will function the same for everything else (copying and renaming) but personally I just use regular Bridge for all that and either copy using Explorer or Bridge itself. Ok then it may just be that the app/add-in is outdated and not likely to be updated with the latest camera support (at least for reading files). It's only inside Bridge Photo Downloader (Bridge menu File | Get Photos from Camera). I thought of that but my Windows File Explorer displays the NEF thumbnail previews just fine. Nikon updates the codec usually when a new camera is released. But the downlnoader may use the Windows codec instead of ACR to display previews (possibly for speed reasons).

Bridge uses the ACR engine to display previews (and assuming you have a more recent version of ACR installed, it should work fine). If you can't see previews in Windows Explorer than that is likely related as well, and is the codec. It maybe the downloader utility uses the CODEC from the OS to display previews.

It sounds like you need to install the latest codec for Windows. I use Bridge and ACR but I don't use this 'downloader' utility you mention (don't really know it existed as I just copy everything using Windows Explorer).

#ADOBE BRIDGE PHOTO DOWNLOADER STOPPED WORKING UPDATE#

I've been waiting for an Adobe Bridge update that would resolve this issue but none The Windows file system shows me previews of NEF files in the File Explorer just fine.Īre other people experiencing this as well? If you were did you do something to resolve it? Every other camera I own works fine, including my original Z7. One a desktop, the other a Microsoft Surface laptop. Actually, I have this issue on both of my computers. The Adobe downloader utility on my computer doesn't show me the Z7 II image previews. Is there anyone else with a Z6 II or Z7 II that uses the Adobe Bridge photo downloader to get their images off the memory card to the computer?
