How to disable Bridge 2021 cache sharing

  • May 17, 2021

It is recommended not to share Bridge Cache in a single user environment.

I have searched "everywhere" but cannot find answer to the question:

How to avoid cache sharing?

 

I hope to be able to keep my 100% previews on a lokal SSD drive and keep them away from the drive where the original photos reside.

 

Thank You in advance

    Just let Bridge generate cache. Don't export it to folders.

    Tools->Cache->Manage Cache and from there delete the cache you don't want.

    Thanks Lumigrahics for replying to my previous post!

     

    I am sorry to be forced by the system to make a new post, but it is not possible to reply to yours...(?)

     

    I will try to clarify my problem with reference to thr Bridge User Guide

    Note:

    The shared cache management feature is useful only when you work in a multi-user collaborative environment. If you are a sole user, shared cache is of no use and may lead to space issues.

    It's recommended that you do not use the shared cache feature if you are a sole user. In this case, the cache generation and management work in the same way as it used to be in Bridge CC 2018.

     

    ----

     

    I am a "sole user"  and I do not want to use shared Cache.

    Edit/Preferences/Cache Management/Location points to a separate SSD drive where I want to keep my 100% previews.

     

    100% Previews are generated through:

    Tools/Cache/Cache Management --> Build and export cache for "Photo Folder"

               x   Build 100% Previews

     

    The previews are saved to my SSD drive as intended but they are also saved in a subfolder (.BridgeSharedCache) to "Photo Folder".

     

    My question is:

    How to disable Shared Cache? - As recommended for sole users....
