How to stop files in Adobe Bridge opening in Affinity Photo

[RichZep]

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?

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.

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?

Does Adobe Bridge have the ability to open a file upon selection? Meaning a single click will open it.

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!)

My final solution was to remove the Bridge, PS and LRc …. 😎

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.
