Bridge generiert seit Stunden Miniaturen

Bridge has been generating previews for several hours

I have a folder with approx. 4000 images on an external SSD on the Mac Studio. Bridge has been generating previews for several hours now and won't stop. Searching for help at Adobe support has brought nothing
What can I do?

    4000 images in one folder is a lot, but I'm sure you already know that.

     

    But yes, several hours is a lot as well.

     

    Quick question: did you grant rights for Bridge to access external drives (this is an Apple thing, not Adobe)? If not, do it.

     

    Next question: have you rebuilt Bridge's Preferences and/or Purge the Cache for that folder? There does appear to be something blocking the process, and those two things are an easy target to start off with.

    Oh, I almost forgot; before you do the other two things, try to increase the Cache in your Settings. Whatever it is now, increase it. Then try to access the folder. 

     

    IF that fails, then do the top two things.
