Bridge CC and the constant thumbnail regeneration problem.

I'm one of many who suffers from Bridge CC constantly regenerating thumbnails. There are multiple threads about the problem, with different descriptions and different theories of the cause.
I recently tried an experiment. I replaced Camera Raw.8bi (version 8) file in the CC folder with the Camera Raw.8bi file from my old CS6 folder (version 7.1.0.354). That worked OK. Bridge CC and Photoshop CC work with the older version of Camera Raw, and the constant regeneration of thumbnails ceased.
Unfortunately, installing the old version of Camera Raw causes Bridge CC to regenerate thumbnails for all folders on the first visit, even though the files are cached and unchanged. But after that first visit, no regeneration occurs.
I have no idea why that is, but I think the experiment gives good evidence that the problem lies in the Camera Raw code and not in the Bridge CC code itself.
None of the various threads I've seen give me any confidence that Adobe has acknowledged this problem, or is even aware of it. And I'm not sure of the best way to get their attention. I've seen references that say Adobe bug reporting should be done on the photoshop.com website. I've tried that in the far past for different issues, but with no success. However, with no known alternative, I've made the following post:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/bridge_cc_re_caching_thumbnails?rfm= 1
I encourage others to "reply" to that post. Maybe if enough people respond, Adobe will notice and acknowledge.
If anybody knows a better way to report bugs (and get acknowledgement), please share.

Been there, done that:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/unneccesary_bridge_thumbnail_and_pre view_extraction
They know about it, they just don't know how to recreate it.
Best thing we can do is reliably recreate the fault. My workaround is to only enable Lens Profile Corrections when necessary, as it is a combination of that and some other factor(s) which seems to trigger it.
If you read all the discussions, you'll see that there are two bugs which produce the same symptoms. One introduced in probably ACR 6.1, whichg was fixed in 8.2; and the other was introduced in 7.3 and is ongoing.

    I reloaded iTunes 10 (64 bit) successfully, but the problem remains the same.
    Any suggestions?

    I looked in the folder from which I want to synch photos, but there is no such thing as an "ipod photo cache" in that folder, or sub-folders, as suggested in the link which you were nice enough to provide.
    I have also tried removing photos from my iPad2 Photos App, and "iTunes has stopped working" shows up  again as soon as I click on the "Synch photos from" button.

  • Bridge CS6 and Action Essentials 2 Video Problem

    Hello,
    I am viewing the previews of Action Essentials 2 from Video Copilot and the resolution seems very degraded, tons of artifacts also.  This never happened before, and these are just pre-keyed clips for special effects, .mov files.
    I have included a jpg of viewing the same clip in preview window of Bridge CS6 5.0.1.23, and in Quicktime 7.73.  You can see in the image there is a huge difference. It renders fine in After Effects CS6, Premiere, and Photoshop.
    I have purged the cache, restarted, checked for updates, etc.
    I have updated nvidia drivers 306.97 and a 480 gtx EVGA vid card.  Windows 7 64bit SP1, and i7-920. 
    This seems to have happened recently, as it used to preview in high quality.  I checked video I did on my Nikon D800 and it appears to be fine, and uses a .MOV extension.
    Please any advice would be helpful.

    I am pretty sure the CODECS are installed on my pc, since I can view the clip in quicktime.  But I'll give it a shot. 
    Update:  I used G-spot and the codec on these videos appears to be png.  The fact it says codec status undetermined is strange, but I also checked files from my camera and files I rendered out using media encoder and these all say the same thing, but work with no problems.
    <--this is the .H264 file i exported using media encoder.  Next is video clip G-spot info is straight from my Nikon D800.

  • IOS 7 and the 'greyed out' WiFi problem

    Hi,
    Looking for any solutions to this:
    I upgraded to iOS 7 with no problems initially
    After about 24-36 hrs I noticed I could no longer access websites via the WiFi connection, so I restarted the phone (a 4S on the Bell Canada network).
    Since then, the WiFi slider has been greyed out and I can't access WiFi networks - with the exception of about an hour or two coincidentally around the time of the 7.0.2 release.
    The WiFi button on the control centre appears to work, but of course doesn't actually function as designed.
    So far I've tried the following:
    Power on &amp; off
    Reset the phone (home &amp; power buttons until Apple logo shows)
    Reset network settings
    Various versions of having the phone in or not-in airplane mode while doing the above
    Renaming the phone without appostrophies.
    Reinstalling iTunes &amp; re sync
    Upgrading to 7.0.2
    Completely wiping the phone and reinstalling everything  from iTunes (painful, I know)
    Going into the store that sold me the phone (I won't say here, but they weren't very nice about Apple)
    None of the above have worked.
    Some reading suggests it could be the phone's chipset, but I'd argue that as it's connected to WiFi just fine a couple if times.
    The only idea I've read and not yet got round to trying involves freezing the handset.
    Anyone else with any other ideas?
    Thanks!

    Tony,
    I've been reading up on this 4S wifi greyed out topic for the past several days too. I have a 5 and I don't have the wifi greyed out problem (knock on wood).
    There's been quite a huge volume of discussion on this issue, with some people suggesting that there is a hardware defect, while others finding it just too coincidental that so many people would have this same problem on the same occassion, ie upgrade to iOS7 or 7.0.1 or 7.0.2.
    The strangest thing about this: there's a user, carolinelewis, who is on her second new replacement 4S from Apple but they still show wifi greyed out after a while!
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4638071?start=300&tstart=0
    (page 21 of the thread).
    Some people swear by the freezer method, some say the hot dryer method worked for them. Some say using either methods would get it fixed, some say the problem returns after some days.
    My thoughts is that both freezer and hot dryer methods are actually taking the phone out of its operational temperature range.
    Environmental requirements of 4S:
    Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
    Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
    Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
    This action may have cause the 4S to do a complete initialization when returned to normal temperature, but these 2 methods appear to be last ditch efforts.
    What I'd favor is power cycling the 4S, which can be achieved by running it completely out of battery, as shown in this Youtube video: http://youtu.be/o_ws5srnVVM
    then plug in power and just may work for you.
    I've also come across this person's workaround: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzb5LNB9nIA
    which may work for the 4S on iOS7 (it was posted for iOS6).
    The steps this gentleman proposed appears to be worth a try. His strategy is to put the iphone into airplane mode, then do a hard reset.
    Now, I have had my Thinkpad (Windows7) laptop's wifi freeze up akin to the behavior of 4S on iOS, ie can't turn on wifi radio via software, just simply refuses to see SSID of wifi router, won't join, etc. I've always been able to get things back to normal by power cycling the laptop. In some freak instances, even shutdown won't work, I would pull the battery out of the laptop to get eveything back to normal.
    So my thoughts on this 4S wifi button grey out is that there is something in the iOS7 upgrade process that caused the wifi circuitry to freeze up and need a complete restart from powered down state.
    The fact that the iphone doesn't have an easily removed battery makes it harder, and I suspect the freezer and dryer technics are an indirect way of acheiving total power off (battery not supplying power due to extreme high or low temperatures).
    Furthermore, I've read that some people fixed their wifi greyed out problem by deleting older apps that may not be fully compatible with iOS7 and thus locking it up. Well, if that were true, then it may explain why the problem returns for some people. We won't know who upgraded which app.
    And of course, there are instances where the wifi hardware that happen to be in a marginal state. Kind of like a PC working fine, installing updates, then stalling on reboot because the boot sector failed or some driver got stuck during initialization stage. This may explain why for some people the 4S had been working just fine but got broken wifi after the upgrade.
    Best of luck to you in your efforts to get this problem fixed.

    alphasonic, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Is your "wireless router" an AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) or another AirPort Express (AX)? If not, you probably will not be able to do this.
    The Ethernet port on the AX is active ONLY when the AX uses WDS to wirelessly connect to a network. Unfortunately most (nearly all) are NOT compatible with Apple's WDS and therefore this is not possible.

  • Restoring original iWeb from iLife CD installation and the iWeb 1.1 problem

    I was thinking of reinstalling the original iWeb from iLife CD and then republish my changes, but didnt want to make matters worst or lose my current iWeb online...
    Anyone tried this? or any tips?

    You need the following to succesfully downgrade to 1.0.1:
    1) a backup of your iWeb 1.0.1 Domain file from username/Library/Application Support/iWeb before you started using iWeb 1.1
    2) the iWeb 1.0.1 upgrade package
    3) iLife installer disk
    To do it you need to:
    1) Delete the receipts first:
    hard-drive/Library/Receipts/iWebApp.pkg
    hard-drive/Library/Receipts/iWeb_101.pkg
    hard-drive/Library/Receipts/iWeb_11.pkg
    2) Delete the iWeb application.
    3) Then reinstall iWeb from your iLife disk. Then update back to 1.0.1.
    4) Put your old 1.0.1 Domain file into the correct place and open iWeb 1.0.1!
    I downgraded to 1.0.1 using a backup of my 1.0.1 Domain file successfully with no problems.

  • BO XI and the constant change rate analysis

    Hello,
    We have a BI system (BO XI + Oracle) which contains sales of all countries in the world. All the amount are stored in local currency.
    We have a 10 indicators in our univers for these local currency figures and 10 other corresponding indicators for the value in Euro. The exchange rate apply for a currency is annual (and stored in the database for each currency / year)
    ->if I report a euro indicator for a country on 3 years, 3 exchange rates will be applied to the corresponding years 
    ex: for 2007,2008,2009  and Russian sales, the Turnover of the 3 years will be : Amount_2007 * Rate_2007 + Amount_2008Rate_2008 + Amount_2009Rate_2009 (this is the normal behavior of aggregation in BO)
    For the business, it's very interesting to see the evolution of sales without the change rate effect (to work with constant change rate). So to do this analysis, I would like to apply the same change rate to the sales of the 3 years to get the amount in Euro
    -> (Amount_2007 + Amount_2008 + Amount_2009) * Rate_2008
    my question:
    is it possible to work in constant rate with BO XI without to have a too complex way to do it for users ? We would like to have an object to put in condition with the values "constant rate" / "yearly rate" of better, an object with a list of years to choose the rate to apply
    thanks in advance for your answer !
    dansledoute

    Hi
    I hope you are building query like below
    Year | Turnover | Rate
    And then Multiplying 
    Euro turnover =Turnover * Rate
    For Rate measure you can use following expression (You would need to change it as per our table name)
    CASE WHEN 'CONSTANT'=@Prompt('Which Type','A',{'CONSTANT','CHANGING'},,,,) THEN
    MAX(DECODE(DATE_DIM.YEAR,@Prompt('Which Year','N','Currdim\Year',,,,),RATE.RATE)) OVER (PARTITION BY @Prompt('Which Year','N','Currdim\Year',,,,) )
    ELSE MAX(RATE.RATE) OVER (PARTITION BY DATE_DIM.YEAR )
    END
    Now if data is like below
    Rate Table
    Curr | YearMnth | Rate
    RUB| 201001 | 3
    RUB| 201102 | 4
    Above expressions will give you rate of selected same year if CONSTANT is selected. i.e.
    Year | Turover | Rate
    2010 | 3000 | 3
    2011 | 4000 | 3
    Now you can multiply Rate * Turnover to get constant turnover for 2010 rate. Basically you can create the variable at report with following definition
    =([Euro Turover] * [Rate])
    Let me know if this solves your issue.

  • Problems starting PE8 - and the answer to my problem!

    Hi Everyone,
    The other day, I was having a problem starting PE8... When I started PE8 from the desktop icon, the Welcome Screen would appear, but the buttons which would normally allow a person to: Open a Project, Create A Project, etc., were all shaded out and could not be clicked. In fact the only thing I could do was to Take a Tour!   After taking the tour, I was able to click on a GO button, which then took me into Organizer, rather than into Premiere Elements. Clearly, something was wrong. I completely uninstalled PE8 and removed all instances of PE8 from my Program Files x86 directory. Yet, when I reinstalled PE8, the sympton persisted.
    Here's the answer to the problem I was experiencing:
    After trying to start PE8, over and over, many times, I noticed that right before the Welcome screen began to appear, there was a small (2" X 3") dialog box that said that I did not have any available memory. How could that be?! I have 12GB of memory on my computer! Hmmmm. Wait a minute! I remember that as I entered PE8 in the past, at the bottom of the Welcome Screen, it said that I had/have 2GB of memory for storage available.   So, as I went in to the shaded out Welcome Screen again, I looked at the little bar graph which shows how much storage memory one has available from Photoshop.com.  My bar graph was maxed out!   I then went to photoshop.com (which I have never used at all!) and I logged in with the same login that I used when I registered PE8.  Much to my surprise, someone else's pictures had been dumped into my account/storage on Photoshop.com. I then deleted ALL the pictures that were on my photoshop.com account.  I also changed my login & password.  I logged out of photoshop.com and then (as I had done many times previously) attempted to open up Premiere Elements 8 and IT OPENED AND STARTED PERFECTLY.
    The moral to this story is that:   If you, or (as in my case) someone else maxes out your photoshop.com storage, you won't be able to get into Premier Elements until you either obtain more storage from Adobe, or until you delete things that you have in that storage area.   Note that when you install and register PE8, a Photoshop.com account and gallery area are created for you.   If that account/gallery is ever filled to it's initial 2GB capacity, you won't be able to start PE8 properly.   Likewise, if you can't start/open PE8 normally, then go to photoshop.com, log in, and check to see how much memory has been used on your photoshop account.         
    Last, but not least, know that the memory problem (not having any more Storage Memory available) is NOT a problem on YOUR computer. Rather, it is referring to the amount of Memory/Storage that Adobe gives you for free on THEIR computer.
    Best Regards,
    Kent

    Hmmm. They would have to have the same login and password,  which is highly unlikely. Nevertheless, while my login (email address) remains the same, I now have a new password.   I figured that you would find my 'solution' interesting.    I never would have thought the problem was with the photoshop.com account which I had never used.   But, as we all know, the moment we assume anything, Murphy's Law kicks in and fools us!   Thanks again for all your help.  Kent

  • ACR and the Bridge thumb regeneration problem.

    I just installed the 8.4 RC version of ACR to see if it fixed a bug that appeared back in version 7.2. It did not.
    The bug appears in Bridge where Bridge randomly and repeatedly regenerates thumbnails. The bug is discussed in several threads on the Adobe Bridge forum. It is a difficult and mysterious bug because it appears to effect only a few people (maybe others don't notice). And those affected report different suspected causes.
    Everyone in those threads assume the bug is within Bridge. But in my case, I believe the bug is caused by ACR.
    In my version of the bug (Bridge CC on Win7) when I point Bridge at a folder of images, the progress wheel in the bottom left corner will spin and report "xxx thumbnail extractions" while xxx counts down. If I leave that folder and return later (with no changes made to the images) it will regenerate thumbnails and count down again. But not for the entire set of images, just some of them. By "return later" I mean 1 second later.
    I've saved proir versions of the "Camera Raw.8bi" file. If I use version 7.1.0.354 of Camera Raw, regeneration of thumbnails ceases. Any version greater than 7.1 causes regeneration.
    I have a theory, but ask for help or comment on the likelihood of my theory.
    When Bridge scans the images in a folder and compares them to the existing thumbnails in the cache, that comparison has to involve dates. If the date of a thumbnail file is different than the date of the image file, Bridge needs to regenerate the thumbnail.
    I don't know what dates Bridge is using to compare cached thumbs to images. I'd guess they are what we see as "Date File Modified".
    I don't know where Bridge is getting those dates. Is Bridge getting the dates from the Operating System file management service? Has Bridge stored the thumbnail date in the cache index, and compares it to the image date? Because the regeneration comes and goes depending on the version of ACR, it would seem that Bridge is asking ACR for one of the dates.
    All programs display dates in human readable form (Example: 7/15/2013 1:11:50PM). But dates are stored in some other form. I don't know what format is used, but it's probably some floating point format.
    My theory is that the dates Bridge uses are in stored in different formats or different precisions of floating point. So, when Bridge compares two such dates they sometimes look unequal when in fact they are the same.
    Different CPUs with different math chips might behave differently on critical floating point ops. This would explain why some users suffer the problem while others do not, even if they have the same version of OS.
    My knowledge of floating point operations dates back to the IBM mainframes of the 70s. I have no idea how modern CPUs work. I'm hoping someone with current knowledge can comment on my theory. Also hoping the theory reaches Adobe techs, who currently appear to be stumped by this problem.

    I found a folder of about 60 images, of which about 80% always repeated extractions, even if changing focus to another application for a couple of seconds.
    If I batch-toggled Enable Lens Profile Corrections checkbox on every file in the folder, the repeat extractions stopped. If I toggled them back again, it started again.
    This didn't surprise me too much, as the pre 7.3 bug, where repeat extractions occured when active Lens Profiles were combined with touching edge crops (fixed in 8.2), was also Lens Profile related.
    Unfortunately, I couldn't isolate the combining factor which causes the repeats in combination with 80% of the files in that folder. Totally stumped.
    As ssprengel suggests, it might be date/time-related. I did once notice some weirdness with file system timestamps in the Bridge cache folder. Maybe my 'bad' folder had files with a significant date/time.
    Meanwhile, I now disable Lens Profile Corrections by default, which is the factory default setting. I only enable it on some shortlisted images. Repeat extractions a greatly reduced now. YMMV

  • "no un-bridged adapter" - and yes, I know this has been asked many times before :)

    OK, so I installed vmware workstation 10 on windows 8.1 update. I got the above error. "No problem" I thought, and followed the community and googled advice, I:
    1) uninstalled vmware
    2) disabled my antivirus (Kaspersky)
    3) ran the installer "As administrator" (I'm a member of the local administrators group, so hopefully anything else that doesn't require elevated permissions would be OK)
    Result: Virtual Network Editor does not show VMnet0, but I see it in C:\ProgramData\VMware\netmap.conf

    network0.name = "HostOnly"
    network0.device = "vmnet1"
    network1.name = "NAT"

    Looking at the properties of my network adapter (Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-LM) I see the vmware bridge protocol and the vmnetbridge service is running.
    So next I try the "restore defaults" in the network editor - no change. I try removing the protocol from the adapter and I get error 0x80070005 but if i click OK and go back into the properties, it's gone. I can't add it back, because I'm told it's marked for deletion. So I reboot, try to add it, and I get access denied, but again if I close the dialog, and go back, the service is now there.
