Where is the Keyword location in PS CS5 / Bridge on Win 7 64-bit OS?
I saveed my Adobe Bridge Keywords from Win XP 32-bit into a folder. The file is Adobe Bridge Keywords and is an XML Document. Now I have a new 64-bit PC with Win 7 Pro 64-bit OS, with PS CS5 loaded, both the 32-bit & 64-bit versions. It appears that PS CS5 Bridge is only available in the 32-bit version.
Where do I copy my saved Keyword file to in PS CS5 / Bridege?
Thanks

Can't you just use the little Import Keyword menu in the keywords panel? But in general, instead of XP's c:\local settings... Win 7 puts such stuff in users/user/appdata/roaming. So C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml.

Hi John,
I did try the Import. Since posting my question I found that my original saved Keyword file is corrupted and cannot be Imported. Nuts! So, I am trying to rebuild the list in a Text file to import. Trial runs so far are not too encouraging as I had several hundred keywords in categories. For whatever reason I do not have in my Win 7 Pro 64-bit Os, the "users/user/appdata/roaming" folder. I did a Search on my PC for Roaming and found nothing related to 'Users/user/appdata/roaming". I am using PS CS5, both 64-bit & 32-bit versions and the Bridge defaults to the 32-bit version, which is located in the C:\Program Files (x86) Folder. But, under Users, User there is no AppData\Roaming folder. I did a google search for Roaming in Win 7 and found an article stating that Roaming was used on Servers. Why, I do not know. So far I have not found the the Adobe Bridge Keywords. xml file on my PC. I plan to remove PS CS5 and reload just the 64-bit version and see what that does. The 32-bit verson of PS CS5 was loaded inorder to use 32-bit PS Plugin applications. Sent question to both Microsoft Support and Adobe Support but no replies to date. Thanks for your help.

The AppData Roaming folder may be hidden by default. Under Tools > Options you can display hidden files, which may help. There's also access levels which I confess I've not yet figured out. Admin level access may be needed?
A tip is that in Bridge Preferences, Scripting, you can go to the Scripts folder. I think that'll get you directly into that roaming area.

John,
Thanks,
Roaming indeed was in the Hidden files of Windows Explorer (for those reading this thread, click on Tools in the Windows Explorer>Folder Options>View>& Check Box the Show hidden files, folders & drives). I had to Refresh before the AppData Roaming folder would appear.
Interesting; I have no Photoshop Keyword file in the folder. I am going to explorer this situation. May have to reload PS CS5.
I'll take a look at the Bridge Preferences; I did notice some versions back that there was something in the Prefs about Scripts.
Thanks again & pleasure doing business with you.
