Question

Thumbnails continually rebuilding

I got an update for ACR (CS6) today and installed it. Suddenly, EVERY time I open Bridge or return to it from another page, it starts thumbnailing my images from scratch. We're talking hundreds of images in this folder. This is new. It did not do this yesterday. What is going on and how do I fix it.  If I leave bridge (even if it's still open) and I go back to Bridge, it starts doing the thumbnail extractions all over again and THEN starts on the full size extractions all over again. The result is that all of Photoshop has slowed to a crawl. This is the second time in a month that an update has caused new problems that did not exist before. It's beyond frustrating.

that's cute. I just sat through 10 minutes of full size extractions counting down. it got to zero and STARTED AGAIN. Okay, guys, what's going on? I have 50 gb of images from Asia I need to process. I truly don't have time for this. And the thumbnail extractions just started over again.

      Why 8.8?

      To go from 9.1 to 8.8, you need a copy of the 8.8 download. If you haven't got that, then you're stuck. There used to be a way of unpacking the downloads and extracting the correct 8bi file and manually copying this over the later version. If you search the forums, you might find a download link and/or the procedure. Adobe changed the update format with 8.8, so it may have changed slightly. You might be better off looking in the Camera Raw forum, rather than at the end of a 15-page discussion on another subject in the Bridge forum :-D

      Hi,

      I'm going to check on this for you. It sounds like something in the caching has become unhitched.

      Which OS are you using? What version of Bridge do you have installed? Photoshop should be unaffected, except for potential system resource choking, but IIR, Bridge should be generating thumbnails on low priority threads.

      Have you looked or posted in the Bridge forum?

      regards,

      steve

      I'm on Windows 7, Photoshop CS6 and got today's update for ACR.   When I go to ACR, it says 7.3.  The version of bridge is 5.0.1.23x64

      i haven't posted on any other forum. this has always been the most helpful.
