Question

Scrolling in Bridge 2024 too slow

  • September 16, 2023

The scrolling in the keyword-list and in the thumbnail view in Bridge 2024 is much slower (and therefore worse) than in Bridge 2022.
Scrolling using Mouse Wheel in Windows 11 is factor 3 or 4 times slower.

Where in 2022 about 0.8 of a thumbnail height was scrolled with one wheel tick - it's in 2024 less than 0.2 of a thumb's height.

Same in keyword list.

 

Is the scrolling adjustable in Bridge 2024? Please resolve this bug!

Scrolling is indeed faster on my macbook. Will test this on my Windows PC at home.

Culling seems to be faster too but there are some soft flashes when Bridge is rendering the preview.

I would appreciate it if the zoom-effect would be a setting to turn it off.

I gave it a try and downloaded this beta build and I can confirm that the lists are scrolling as expected. So far I tested the list at multiple locations (including the settings window) and it is great that the list component seems to be updated, so the scrolling is working as expected 🙂
Thank you and please migrate this change to the main channel ASAP.

When will the overall scrolling, moving and what-not-performance be on par with V12?

 

we still haven't heard from you when and if this can be fixed?

 

please reply.

This is really a simple issue: people want quick access to their media library. Previews should cached and quick, ready to go with full-version cache as an option. That's it. It's really that simple.

Regretfully all versions of Bridge cannot do this and the time consuming process of waiting for thumbnail generation seriously impairs artist's creativity which is, by the way, necessary when creating art.

Because Adobe has chosen to make zero progress, I've looked into competing products and within 10 minutes solved the issue and found what appears to be a great alternative in ACDSee. I installed the Home Trial version which quickly built a cache that I now use to quickly and efficiently browse my content, creativity unimpaired.

For everyone looking for a solution, I suggest trying ACDSee which cured my woes in 10 minutes.

When scrolling in full screen mode I get a lot of noise as you can see here, the pictures load fine if i stop but its a bit annoying and I don't remember this from previous versions. Any ideas?

Yes and the latest Bridge also simply STALLS OUT endlessly, when (for example) you click on a new sub-folder and NOTHING HAPPENS, often for 30 seconds or more.  ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ                    

I wish Adobe would issue CLEAR DIRECTIONS on how to stop the ENDLESS b.s. "caching" it's doing.

Waiting for this OVER AND OVER AND OVER again is worse than simply building thumnails on the fly.

A wonderful program (as is Photoshop 2024 AI),  but BRIDGE's "guts" need to be RE-THOUGHT OUT, or perhaps recompiled.

At present BRIDGE 2024 is "the program that TIME FORGOT."

I'm so happy to see this. I thought the slow scrolling meant something was going wrong on my Mac Studio hard drive. Yes, scrolling through a folder with a significant number of files and subfolders has gotten really slow, even after everthing is indexed. It can hang for many seconds as I try to scroll. Some poor developer has created a bug here, possibly with caching, and let's hope it's quick to find and faster to fix.

Justin---take a look at the "Not Moving from Br 12 to Br 14" thread.  You'll see that this has been a problem ever since the first drop of Br 13 almost 20 months ago.

Hello Ms. Agarawal

Thanks for the suggestion. I installed the beta version 14.0.1.128 which appears to still have the very slow image-browing issue.  The page-fault issue appears to remain, however not so extreme as it was previously.

Kind regards.

I have to agree and not lightly. After having spent the past day troubleshooting my relatively complicated bifurcated NVMe RAID 0 array, windows pagefiles and even re-installing windows, I have come to the conclusion that it is indeed Bridge which is significantly slower than before. I have an incredibly fast drive for the Bridge cache, and for good reason: I hate waiting. After the recent updates, my patience is once again being tested. Like I said, all hardware and driver issues have been ruled out in my case which leaves only software to blame. I also notice that Bridge and Photoshop alike cause an astoundingly high amount of hard faults, whether or not this is new is unknown. 

Regardless, thanks @konrad79 for the post. I will also be reverting to Bridge 2022, if possible.

Adobe 13.04 had the same slow effect as 14.0, so I went all the way back to 12.0 and am now happy with the (very) speedy previews and dramatically faster performance than the two newer versions. It may be that other versions of 13 are also fast, but I'm happy for the moment and hope this at least helps other with this issue, including the Adobe developers.
