Question

Bridge filters not showing

Bridge 10.1.1.166

Recently installed this - and am still finding my way around.  But I have seen how to use the filters, and am aware that if an open folder does not have any data for a filter used in the filter panel, then that entry in the filter list is not shown.  But I have opened two different folders, both showing the file creation dates in the metadata shown in the content display window, and one shows the appropriate filter for the creation dates, and the other one does not.   No change to the filter list. I have tried resetting the preferences at the startup, and the same problem happens on those same folders. Most folders in fact show creation dates in the filter list, but some do not. See screenshots attached.  Any ideas would be welcome.

    When I first saw the question, I thought you were faced with one of the logical limitations of the Filter Panel. For example, if you wished to filter JPG images in a folder with no JPG images, you would not even see the option of JPG images (you can't filter on something that doesn't exist (in a given folder). And this had me mulling on how an image could not have a creation date.

     

    But thanks to both of your comments, I "think" all you need to do is to Tools (menu) -> Cache -> Purge cache for "X" folder. 

     

    Please let me know if that works.

      Gary,

       

      That did the trick!  Thank you!  I should have thought of that.

      Weird ! I just copied ( using Windows filesystem ) one of the offending folders ( not showing the creation date filter), plus one other folder  to a new folder.  And then in that new folder the filters work properly !?  But if I dont copy a second ( working ) folder to the new one, then the filters do not show properly ??
