I know there have been several posts like this one on the forums, but I thought I'd start a new thread due to the fact that I tried a bunch of fixes that didn't work.
Specifically, I get the above-mentioned error when trying to add keywords to DNG files in Bridge CS5 4.0.4.2. The DNG files were created from Canon .CR2 RAW files using DNG Converter (both the latest version and the second-to-the-latest version).
Here's what I've done so far: I just updated DNG converter yesterday. I just updated the full suite, including ACR yesterday (6.3, I think). I just compacted my Bridge cache yesterday. I just restarted the computer. I just restarted Bridge. I just ran a full virus-check on my system. Latest Windows updates. Latest video card updates.
I've tried adding the keyword to the same file multiple times, all attempts meeting with failure. I've tried this with multiple files. Jpegs seem to work fine, DNGs don't in most cases. And that's the caveat: Sometimes, it works, but most of the time it doesn't. For example, I just added keywords to about 24 DNG files with no problem. When I tried doing the same to another batch, blammo. Problem. It seems really arbitrary, especially considering that all the DNG files were created with the same DNG converter version on approximately the same day.
Since this error is coming up only one day after updating, I'm thinking the update has something to do with it.
Should I submit this to Tech Support or does anyone have a nice fix he/she would like to suggest?
Thanks!
