Common Problems Opening COLLECTION Files

Adobe Bridge CC Disappeared

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open COLLECTION Files" when trying to open your COLLECTION. When this happens, it is commonly due to Adobe Bridge CC missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your COLLECTION with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: If you don't have Adobe Bridge CC installed, and you know of another program to open your COLLECTION file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Incorrect Adobe Bridge CC Version

Sometimes your installed version of Adobe Bridge CC won't support your Adobe Bridge Collection File file. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe Bridge CC installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the COLLECTION file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Regardless, most of the COLLECTION file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Adobe Bridge CC installed.
