RichZep Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 This is driving me crazy!! I use Adobe Bridge as my DAM. When I single click on a .nef file it opens in Affinity Photo. How the heck do I stop it? There cab be a dozen or so .nef files open in AF and I have to cancel each one separately. I wouldn't mind if it was double click In Bridge, I have gone to Edit > Preferences > File Type Associations and the .nef is set to None. Any ideas?

Staff Lee D Posted September 19, 2022 Staff Share Posted September 19, 2022 You may need to also check the file associations within your OS as well, right click on a .NEF file and check it's properties to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least for Macs, single-clicking on a file in Finder just selects it but does not open it in any app. So just curious, but is it different in Explorer for Windows, & if so, how do you just select a file without opening it?

Old Bruce Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Does Adobe Bridge have the ability to open a file upon selection? Meaning a single click will open it.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally single click to select, double click to open. (Although I think you can change it to hover to select and single click to open. if you want to!)

RichZep Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 Thank you for your suggestions. .nef files are associated to Affinity Photo. In Windows Explorer, all .nef files are listed as Affinity Photo files. In Bridge they are listed as .NEF. I agree that in Bridge, single click should be to select and double click to open the file (in AP) but it opens in AP with a single click.
