I am having a problem with synchonization between Lightroom 2.4 and bridge (using Photoshop CS4, Camera Raw version 5.3.0.21).
I have lighroom preferences set as follows: unsaved metadata is checked for cell icons in grid view and automatically write changes into metadata is checked in catalog settings. Furthermore Camera Raw settings are set to save image settings in sidecar xmp files.
Here is the problem:
If I make a change in Lightroom the changes are automatically reflected in Bridge. However, if I then make a change in Bridge (Camera Raw) the changes are not recognized in Lightroom. In fact, the upward arrow on the Lighroom cell that indicates that metadata was changed externally does not appear automatically. Is there a refresh that is necessary? How would I know that a file has been changed externally? If I make a change to the file in question and then undo the change the update icon appears!!! but this is a strange way to find out that the file has been changed. Any suggestions? would much appreciate your input.
Thank you.

In Library, Synchronise folder does just that.... checks for metadata updates.
Thanks Ian, this helps solve my problem. Is there any way to call up the synchronize command without accessing the menus? A shortcut key?

It's also available from the folder context menu (Ctrl+click on Mac or Right-click on Windows)
