PSB previews

I work with large number of psb files and finding something has suddenly become an awful problem.  I had a nice plugin that created icon previews (psb quicklook) but it doesn't work with Sequoia 15 and the deweloper does forsee upgrading.   Anyone out there have a suggestion?  Locating files has become a nightmare.  Thanks, :0nga

    no help with this?


    Did you purge the cache?  Bridge needs to recreate the preview thumbnails.

    Adobe Bridge will always show you previews and makes searching for and organizing files super easy. I highly recommend you incorporate it into your workflow.

      I downloaded Bridge.  It didn't help.  The PSB files wouldn't preview there either.

      There's a setting in Bridge preferences "do not process files bigger than..."

       

      Just increase the size from the default (can't recall what it is) and they will display. I set it to 50 GB or so which should take care of it for a while 😉

      Hey @IngaMcCaslin! Welcome to the Photoshop Community. We're here to help.

       

      You can use Adobe Bridge for file browsing in this use case. You can follow the steps on this page to download Bridge to your computer: https://adobe.ly/3ZiCZfd

       

      You can wait for Experts & users to suggest alternate plugins.

       

      We hope this helps.

      Thanks!

      I downloaded Bridge.  My PSB files don't preview in Bridge either (other files do but not the huge PSB files)
