One big important suggestion: Bridge has never been good at looking at thousands and thousands of images in one folder. So, I suggest you grab maybe a couple hundred and try this out. If it works out, try doubling the number of images. Then, keep increasing the number of images until things start slowing down. Then, back up a bit on the number of images, and continue.

 

Good luck!
