I've waited so long to post this -- been happening for years. and each time i figure it's something stupid i did or there will be a bug fix update or ok let me clear cache and preferences and maybe that will fix it. ... If i had to guess, this happens about once every 10-14 days. And it drives me insane. i get a few galleries loaded up in bridge -- thumbs all good to go (b/c i like to wait to cull bc can take several min to load everything; otherwise culling is annoyingly slow and will miss some star ratings if i apply them while it's loading the HQ preview; if you know, you know).
Then the thumbs will spontaneously, like, 'go stale' or expire or something and Bridge decides to START OVER loading as if seeing the images for the first time. Bridge has been open the whole time and the drive w the cache (single m.2) has remained online.
Just now, for example. i have five tabs in bridge w five recent events and everything was good to go (meaning, it was finished last night with loading and creating high quality previews etc). I then went and browsed reddit for 45 min (leaving bridge open), came back, and BOOM -- thumbs purging -- starting over! All of them; not just one folder.
WHY?? Seriously, is there a reason for this? I just want to understand. And yes everything is up to date and i recently reset preferences and cleared all cache maybe 10 days ago and using an SSD for cache that is far from full and i have done nothing else in adobe since loading all the thumbs.
Also, if I'm not being clear about my problem, please let me know.
