Files won't show up in Bridge

[maggie2]

Hi,
Sometime in the past few days my files that have been made with Fireworks will not show up when I use Bridge. They used to show up just fine so I don't know why they suddenly won't show up now.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this so they will show up like they used to?

I'd really appreciate that.

Thanks,
Marg

First, are you sure your selecting the right folder in the Bridge interface?

I selected a folder I labeled FOOD. It is full of graphics of food. I used to be able to see all the graphics in the folder before. Now when I click on the folder I only get to see some of them. The ones that were made in Fireworks show up with a FW logo and I don't get to see them.

I didn't know there was a "right" folder?

Thanks,
Marg

What I meant was...the folder in which the images reside on your computer.
I am not familiar with Fireworks, what format are the images you made saved in,,it sounds as if Fireworks has a FW format, same as Photoshop. If Bridge doesn't recognize the format then it would not display it. What extension do they have? Are they jpgs or what?

The files are in .png format and the little logo is brown and gold with FW on it.

Yes, I looked it up and saw they are png files. I'm not helping you much at this point. Have you tried anything else? Do a search on your issue in Google and see what you find. Probably a simple solution, you might try asking Adobe since they are the authors of both programs.

You can always export them to another file type..PDF maybe. Is it possible you have a compatibility problem. What version of PS are you using ?
