Rhino 7 Previews in Bridge 2023

Question

I have updated to Bridge 2023 and lost most of my previews for Rhino Files - just gettng the Rhino software icon. I have tried a number of settings (software rendering on and off, clearing cache). I may not understand how to truly clear the cache. If I continually work in a folder, it eventually changes overs to previews. I have about 3,000 relativly small Rhino files in folders. Is there a way to just make this happen all at once? I have this issue everytime I update Bridge.

Also, Bridge's search often just doesnt work. I can type the name of the file into the search bar and it won't find it. But if I just sort by name the exact same text is there in the file name. This is a constant issue. Thoughts on this?

It is probably obvious that I am not a tech support perons :), but it sounds like some sort of indexing issue? 🙂

As far as I know, Rhino uses a screenshot (should be a common format, such as jpg) to display previews for its files in native file browsers (Windows Explorer / Finder). Bridge also never had an understanding of what Rhino-files are – it skips everything it can't handle and just shows an image. There might be something off with your file type associations... Maybe check if you can see those images your os-native file-browser and ask in the Rhino-forum what image-type they use?

In the Bridge 13 Beta I can see the embedded thumbnail for 3dm files (without changes to file-associations).
