Question

Icons very small?

Hi, one big issue I have moving from Windows Explorer to Adobe Bridge are the icon sizes. On Explorer they scale nicely, in Bridge they stay minute, even if I increase the tile size. 

Not sure what the point of the tile size slider at the bottom is really for, if the icons do not scale alongside the background tiles. Is this a bug or was this never proberly implemented?

In the preferences under "Thumbnails" I dont see any option to make any changes. 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

Thanks for your feedback, we are able to reproduce the issue. Team is investigating the same.

I have the same problem with one icon. It displays correctly in windos but onthe left Bridge panel it's almost invisible.

What solution has been developed in the past 3 years ?

I find the thumbnail view to be about useless, and 99.99% of the time view files in Details View instead.

The slider will increase the size of an image's thumbnail but does not increase the size of a folder. This issue is particularly bad on PCs as it's not that "bad" on the Mac. 

 

This problem has been around for a long time, so it's apparently way down on the "things to repair" list that the Bridge engineers have. There is no recourse to this at this point in time.

 

Please note that Adobe employees do not spend much time here and one way to better reach Adobe is to contact them here to comment and/or complain: https://adobebridge.uservoice.com

 

Good luck!
