Question

Bridge 2022 very Slow

Salutations,
Bridge was already slow, with the very latest version it got even slower.
With folders of 800-900 images (raw) it cannot be used for sorting and rating photos.
Also setting the fastest parameters for previews.
Scrolling in full screen freezes, or is very slow (5-7 seconds to scroll between one photo and another!)
Also for such large folders I don't know why it doesn't keep the preview in mind. (values in the options all ok)
I tried to clear the cache of that folder and regenerate it from the beginning, but with no solution.

Will you solve the problem with the next version?
So I can't use it.


Thank you

    Hi All,

     

    Thanks a lot for your feedback.
    Please try updating to ACR 14.3 release, that should fix the issue.

    Let us know if you still face the same.

     

    Thanks,

    Bridge Team

        Dealing with this today too. C'mon Adobe, you're a $500B company that can't even make a decent filebrowser? Have they given up?

        I'm using an M1 Max with a 5000MB/s drive and rendering thumbnails for 2000 images from an iPhone takes 20 minutes? Are you kidding me?

          Yes, completely unuseable. I've never found Bridge to be very stable but everything I click on now sends the spinning beachball into a 5, 10, 30 second spin. I uninstalled for an earlier version.

              Sadly Bridge is still made for Intel. (January 2022).

                Me too. It takes forever to generate previews and it seems to have to do it every time I open and close Bridge. This is terrible because it's such an important program for me. It was alreay clunky and now it's even worse.

                  I tried to clear all my cache.
                  Previews with basic settings, set cache storage capacity to 100GB, on HD SSD M2.

                  After that I generated all the previews of a folder with 900 raw files (24 megapixels each).
                  Everything ok ... pretty fast screen display, almost like with version 11.x.x.

                  I close everything, reopen on the same folder
                  and REGENERATES ALL THE FOLDER FROM THE BEGINNING, NEW SUPER SLOWED SYSTEM, CPU TEMPERATURE TO STARTS.

                    I did a hard reset holding down control, alt, shift as I open the program and this for now fixed the problem. I've always had to do this every few months but thought with it just having a big update, it would be ready to go but apperently not. It's working fine now. I don't know why this fix works for me while clearing cache doesn't.

                      I have the same issue - it became unusable. 

                      Tried to delete all cache files and to reduce the quality of thumbnail quality.

                      MacBook Pro, M1, 16 GB, Monterey (12.1)

                      Help please!

                        Totally unusable.  It's AMAZING!  How is this possible? I'm running the same thing. I really need another solution. It's been going on for years now.  I have your same setup.

                         

                        On my 2015 MacBook Bridge BLAZES. Instant thumb preview.  It's proof that computers aren't evolving. They're devolving.

                          Thanks for your input! I am so tired of the dance of going to older verisions to try and make it work, while having everyone at Adobe assure me the latest is the best. I have experienced the same thing as you say before. Not even sure if it's available, but I will try the oldest one on Adobe's cloud. If not, maybe an Adobe tech will install for me. 


                          Nah i can´t recommend using cs6, or at least i can´t if you´re using a newer camera´because you won´t see your pics 🙂 But there you can see how fast it was and how fast it should work instead of that cloud crap. Btw there is no older CC Version that runs better than the actual one, they all are really bad
