Question

Bridge renaming/metadata getting very slow

Hello,

I use Bridge on a daily basis to batch rename and embed metadata to video and image files. I've been doing this at my current job for four years. I have noticed over the past several weeks that the image files seem to have become incredibly slow to update, both when being renamed and when embedding metadata. I updated by version of Bridge to the most recent and this has not changed. Is anyone else experiencing this and/or have a solution? (I do regularly clear my cache, usually at least 1-4 times a day)

      Same here, always something with Adobe Bridge. Batch renaming gets stuck at 11% (only 10 jpg images!) So i'm going back again to version 12.
      (iMac20,2/10-Core Intel Core i9/3,6 GHz/128 GB (sys: 13.4.1 (22F82))).

      Me, too. Ridiculously, abnormally, slow. Minutes to rename a handful of RAW files.

      I have been the same problem with renaming photos in Bridge for months. It used to be almost instanteous. It just took 2-3 minutes to rename 2 photos. It's almost off the table as it dominates the screen, making it difficult to do any other task. I have a Mac Book Pro 14-inch, 2021 running Monterrey 12.0.1. My Bridge is kept updated is currently running 13.0.3.693. I am renaming JPG photos developed in Photoshop. I have tried renaming files after just opening Bridge, and at other items. It doesn't matter; it is ridiculously slow. I am not going to send a "video of the problem." It has been well described in this discussion feed, and I see not solutions from Adobe, only requests for more information to delay any sort of solution.

          I am having the same issue. Batch renaming takes a very long time, If i force quit it seems to still change the file names but if i wait until the end, each batch rename takes 2-3 min.  Ia am running a Mac book pro, 64 gig a, monteray 12.6.3, M1 Max - bridge 13.0.2.636  if you can let me know please 

          thank you

            Hi @Livingdead,

             

            Thanks for your feedback. Could you share the following details about the issue:

            1. Batch Rename Preset or settings which you are using for Batch rename.

            2. Location of the files either it is on local drive or network/external drive.

            3. Numbers of files on which you are performing Batch Rename.
            4. Is the issue reproducible for few files (two/three) also with same settings?
            5. Please share the sample video of the issue at sharewithbr@adobe.com
