Question

Bridge stops preview SOME files SOME of the time

I mostly use Bridge to preview big tif/psd/psb files, nothing much else.  I have my preview settings maxed out for files sizes and it works fine most of the time.  Sometimes, a few of the files will never preview or stop loading a preview, clearing cache for selections doesn't work (sometimes it will trigger the preview to never load again).  I've tried making dupes, the duped file will act the same.  I've opened the files in PS, made a new file, copied the layers over, the new file will do the same thing.  I'm in a work/photo studio enviroment so these files are flowing through multiple computers before I touch them, but it won't be everything that's from the same shoot/other retoucher or something, it's just seems to happen randomly and it never comes back.

I've been dealing with issue for years at this point, over multiple different computers and companies.  It just makes me want to smash my head into the wall sometimes as it's the only thing I really want to use Bridge for.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks!

Just to be clear, in Preferences>Thumbnails  what size do you have posted in the "Do not process files larger than" box?  Are your large files bigger than the limit set in this box?

I have the cache settings maxed out at 250000mb.

X,

The cache has nothing to do with this.  Please re-read my two questions.
