Simple Bridge question

New Bridge user, hoping this is simple! Using Bridge as a possible replacement for FotoStation Pro. Mainly  to view/export from my portable hard drive my picture archive.

 

When I use and select an image, this works fine. But the software has to "collect" my images again and re do everything for thumbnail view. Is there a way of avoiding this re-do and keep my gallery?

 

Grateful for help please? Basically want to view my archive & extract when needed? Also want to add new pix to my archive and for this to update in my images view.

 

thank you

I'm not familiar with FotoStation Pro, Bridge is a file browser and will build a cache of folders you have opened to make it faster the next time. I'm not sure what you mean by archive, is this like a zip archive?

Thank you for your reply.

 

I source my images from a desktop hard drive, which just contains my pictures. It is these pictures I want to see in Bridge when I need to search for an old file. This works well for me. The browser images in B then seem to need to remake the image thumbnails again!

You can try clearing the cache for your drive and letting it rebuild.
