Adobe Bridge
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. BRIDGESORT files are often referred to as Adobe Bridge settings because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
Adobe Bridge (Cabinet File) by Adobe Systems Incorporated
Adobe Bridge is an organizational program created and released by Adobe Systems as a part of the Adobe Creative Suite. Its primary purpose is to link the parts of the Creative Suite together using a format similar to the file browser found in previous versions of Adobe Photoshop. It is accessible from all other components of the Creative Suite (except for the standalone version of Adobe Acrobat). BRIDGESORT is a file cabinet system file used by Adobe Bridge software to dictate how photo files are sorted when viewed in Adobe Bridge (i.e., name, date, extension, etc.). Normally this is a hidden file and can be safely deleted (but sorting will resort to the default in Adobe Bridge next time you view the folder in Adobe Bridge and a new version of .BRIDGESORT will be then created). This file format is classified as XML. Related links: Wikipedia Adobe Bridge Page

BRIDGESORT file format:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. In the following you will find our evaluation of the BRIDGESORT files:

The BRIDGESORT file ending mainly uses a special format. But the following two file formats are common:

95% of all BRIDGESORT files internally utilize the XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. These files are plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. BRIDGESORT files can be up to 83 KB in size, but are often around 220 bytes - 3 KB. The file type was created 10 years ago, but is still used today. The keywords <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>, <files>, item key and <dirinfo> are typical for these files. The following filename is common: .BridgeSort or BridgeSort..
3% of all BRIDGESORT files are using the well-known Mac2OSX file format to store the data. The Mac2OSX format is an AppleDouble format and originally used to store additional metadata on Unix systems. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The files are 70 bytes to 4 KB in size, with a median of 4 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. Mac OS X and ATTR. An example of a file name is ._.BridgeSort.

All other BRIDGESORT files (2%) have different formats. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your BRIDGESORT file!
