Bridge Batch Rename Glitch, photos can no longer be seen and rename stops

[Jonathan Wormgoor]

Upon performing a batch rename the rename stops before renaming all selected photos and multiple photos now show up as jpeg icons rather than a preview of the image. No consistency in how many photos the rename will actually work on. Sometime 20 odd photos in a selected batch of 1,000 will rename correctly, sometimes 500+ photos in the same batch will rename successfully. At the same time there is no constancy in how many photos will no longer be viewable (image preview changes to jpeg icon). In once instance 90% of a batch of 1,500 are no longer viewable in bridge. This issue has occurred in varying degrees of severity in all folders I’ve tried to Batch rename since the October update. Even closing Bridge and reopening with the same folder of photos the images are still only showing up as icons. However, if you go to the actual images in finder the images are fine and fully viewable. Pulling the images into Photoshop or Lightroom and the images are fine. The issue seams to be isolated to Bridge.

I’m running Bridge v11.0 on a MacBook Pro 2019 with Catalina v10.15.7

Are these photos on a local hard drive?

They are on an external Drive.

Unfortunately, I did doulbe check my system preferances to make sure bridge was given access to external drives in addition to my local drive. So, sadly that's not the issue.

I would wait until the entire folder has loaded. Bridge can have problems with thousands of files in a folder.
