Bridge refreshing

[misty1981]

My bridge has started to refresh itself autmatically every couple of minutes. How do I turn it off?

What do you mean it refreshes?? Try resetting the prefences. https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/troubleshoot-errors-freezes-bridge.html#:~:text=Start%20Adobe%20Br....

I like to keep bridge open when I'm working. Every time I go back to bridge it has refreshed the window and the screen is back at the beginning instead of staying on the job I'm working on.

I checked your suggested site but it's not freezing or locking.

So... is it scrolling back to the top? or is it going back to a different screen / folder? I'm still not clear. Are you in a folder with a bunch of images? Can you share a screenshot so I can see what you mean - show me where you want to be and where Bridge goes to. Do you use Collections? Maybe that would help?

Yes, it's scrolling back to the top in the same folder. I have hundreds of jobs in my folder so I want it to stay on the job I'm working on. Bridge goes back to the top and reloads every image. It's never done this before. A screenshot won't help. It goes back to job #1 and I want to stay on job #100.

I think I have had this problem before - it sounds familiar. Is your Bridge up to date? 11.0.2.123. I don't know how to fix it but some suggestions:

Try a manual sort placing the images at the top - might take forever if you have lots of images.

Can you use 1 folder per job - so reorganize?

Are there images you use over and over that you can add to your CC Libraries for easier, quick access within your apps?

The number one, easiest solution - Collections are your friend. You don't move anything around, just gather your images into a collection and view just the collection of images you are currently using.
