Come on Adobe, Bridge has been so bad for years. Now in 12.02 fresh install of macOS and Adobe so many things don't work. Folders don't showw all files. Can't remove labele from files. Some folders don't show up in the folder list. That's just in the last five minutes. PLEASE FIX!

Hi Head,

 

That's quite a lot! Did you try both of these?

1) Tools (menu) -> Cache -> Purge Cache for folder "x"

2) Rebuild Bridge's preferences: Quit Bridge (if running). Just before clicking on Bridge in the Dock or double-clicking the application, for the Mac, press Command-Option-Shift. For PCs, press Control-Alt -Shift. Then open Bridge BUT KEEP your fingers on those keys until you see a window pop up. From the window, choose “Reset Preferences," "Entire Thumbnail Cache”, and/or "Reset Standard Workspaces.” In your case, choose "Reset Preferences."

I've done all that and more. Like I said this is clean install. Maybe because it's going through Rossetta? Photoshop has been running for me for years without any issues but Bridge has been a nightmare for about six years. Very dissapointed. Hoping it gets better when the native M1 version comes around.

OK, next question: which version of ACR are you using. The most recent release, 14.3, has resolved the speed issue for most users. FWIW, I'm on a Mac Studio and am not having the issues you're describing.

 

Here is a screenshot of this page showing both your and my comments, Note the red circles. Do you see them on your page when viewing?

 


My ACR shows v14.4.0.1121. Thanks for the screenshot. I do not see that. Bridge is the only software I am having issues on the Mac Studio. Will try to uninstall/reinstall.
