Same problem on Mac… Running Mac Mini, MacBook Pro and on "prod" Mac Pro 4.1>5.1 Dual X5690, 96 Go RAM, PCIe fast SSDs, RX580 and Mojave. Also uninstalled V10 and reinstalled V9.1 on all my machines !!!

Have very similar results per the video - Bridge 2020 thumbnail rendering is WAY slower.
Pertinent settings in Bridge 2020:
- Use Software Rendring : Off

- Generate Monitor Site Previews : Off
- Detail : Prefer Embedded images
- Thumbnails  : Prefer THumbnail Generation over Preview Generation

Have noticed also that it only tries to render the current viewable thumbnails e.g. if 20 of 200 are visible - will only try to render those 20.
So will max the CPU for 20 then stop - it would be good if there was a setting where you could tell it to continue to render all the images in the folder. At the moment if I scroll past 20 to 21 - I have to wait again. Rendering in advance would be great

Is there some way of downloading + installing Bridge 2019 ?

Hmm - alas that doesn't seem to have fixed the thumbnail rendering speed 😞
The update must have replaced the rendering API and it can't be rolled back.
...... maybe about time I buy photo mecahnic

I have the same problem. Bridge 2020 is very slow when you open a file in camera raw for editing. It takes forever to change anything like auto settings. It sometimes crashes completely. And, if fact, it also crashed my entire Windows 10 operating system. I had to rebuild Windows from a mirror file I created before updating my Creative Cloud software.

Hello ibm007,


Thank you for your quick reply. I further assessed my situation, and I was able to achieve significant improvement in the speed of Bridge and Camer Raw. Here is what I did:

 

First, I purged the Camer Raw cashe, increased the bridge cashe size from 100,000 to 300,00, moved its location to my fasted hard drive, and restarted my computer.

 

Then, I checked the NVIDIA website to ensure that I have the best driver for my new display adaptor (NVIDIA GForce RTX 2070 Super), and found that the installation installed the driver for gamers. NVIDIA recommends another driver for content creators. So, I downloaded and installed the recommended driver.

 

Then I used a registry cleaning software to remove all registry entries and again restarted the computer. Things now look a lot better than before.

 

Definitely, Bridge 2020 is a lot slower than its previous version. But, with optimum configurations, speed will improve.


I'm glad you resolved the issue. I don' thave time right now to follow those steps but I bookmarked this.

Can you tell me what software you used to clean the registries? I have a feeling it's causing other problems as well.

 

cheers!
