Bridge Freezes when Show Items From Sub Folders

Hi all. I am trying to create a portfolio of past works. Using Adobe Bridge and Show Items From Sub Folders makes it easy to go through thousands of files. One major problem though; Bridge is not stable. When I try to view a folder with thousands of files Bridge will freeze and I have to force quite.
I am running a Mac Pro with Adobe Design CS4 Premium installed. I have 16gb of Ram and have played around with Bridge's preferences and deleted Bridges preference files. I also tried all the options list on Adobe's check list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Stephen Thompson

Bridge is not stable. When I try to view a folder with thousands of files Bridge will freeze and I have to force quite.
As a matter of fact, bridge CS4 is the most stable version of bridge, and although still not perfect yo should be able to view the folder in flat view.
It only takes a lot of time to cache if you have not done before. If cache does not start you first should try to purge cache for folder using the tools menu.
If Bridge keeps freezing first thing to try is to restart holding down option key and choose reset preferences. Set prefs again to your own wishes and try again.
You can also try to first cache the folder using the tools menu. In the folderpanel select the main folder you want to view its contents and go to the tools menu / cache and this time select build and export cache.
Depending on the amount and size of files it takes some time. Then try again.
It is able to work, as it does on my system. I have also a main folder that contains around 5000 files organized in stacks and works as it should

  • "No Items" is displayed when "Show Items from Subfolders" is selected

    When I select the "view subfolders" menu item in a folder with subfolders and items, Bridge indicates that it is indexing.  Then it displays "No Items". If I go to each subfolder individually, the images are displayed.  This only happends in some folders. I purged my cache, perhaps this is the problem but it didn't help. I found a similar discussion named "View Subfolders" from 2009 with a "Helpfull answer" linked to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/332/332992.html but it is now not available. My operation system is Apple OS 10.8.1.

    I tried to index the entire sub-tree with no help. I noticed that when I restart bridge I get a message that bridge is unabled to read the cache. After purging the central cache I still get the above message after restart.
    Well, in that case, it sounds like this is causing the problem. If you can't read the cache, then you probably can't read an index either.
    Without knowing anything about your computer system, I'd suggest that you need to check for general account permission setup problems before looking at Bridge specifically.

  • Show items from subfolders won't stick when searching (CS5)

    For some reason after selecting a folder, and making sure "show items from subfolders" is selected, when I do a search in that folder, "show items from subfolders" gets deselected. Any idea why this might happen? I'm pretty sure it has worked normally in the past.

  • Adobe Bridge will not show items in subfolder even when this option is checked.

    Adobe Bridge will not show items in subfolder even when this option is checked. It works on one computer but not the other-both working on the same system/ version of adobe cc.
    How can I fix this bug?

    Check to see what is different between setups.  You may want to reset prefences in the balky computer.

  • Show items from subfolders not working

    OK, this HAS to be something I've done............
    PC, Windows 7, Bridge CC.
    Open folder.  It contains folders that have raw files, .dng files, and jpeg files.
    Click and select "Show items from subfolders".  It tells me there are no items.
    I'm pretty sure this USED to work on this machine.  It's been doing this for at least a week.  I don't have any filters set, or anything else that I know of.
    I just tried it on the laptop, also Bridge CC, and it works fine.  Do I have some preference or what goofed up?

    Yes, when I go to the subfolders, the images are there.  But when I go back to the parent and try to show images in subfolders it says there are none.  I figure it can't be Bridge 'cause I did the same thing on the laptop and the images in the subfolders display fine.
    I don't SEE any filtering.  And I've closed Bridge and reopened it, which I think resets the filters and such?  Is there anywhere else I could be filtering?  Again, I've restarted Bridge.  I also tried different folders on different disks, and in every case it says there are no images.
    I just checked preferences and I have that set to 5000MB, so anything smaller than 5GB should display, right?  These are RAW files in the 40MB range.  And when I go down to the child folder they display fine......
    Clobber Bridge and reinstall?

  • Location bar show items from subfolders

    When searching  a master folder in bridge using the show items in subfolders is it possible to limit the search to the first level of the master folder and exclude all nested folders?

    I don't think so.  As I read it, 'Show Items From Subfolders' is defined to display the entire contents of a folder including its subfolders in a single continuous flat view. 

  • Moving items from sub-folder to inbox are disappearing

    Hello everyone, 
    We have exchange 2010 and we are having issue when user move item from sub-folder to inbox then the item just disappears. I have tested this at-least 3 mailboxes. 
    If i do this in outlook then it disappears right away. if i do this in OWA then it disappears in 10 seconds.  Sometimes it shows up in deleted folder but most of the time it doesn't but it always shows up in "recover deleted item" in outlook.
    Please advise how to find what's going on. thanks 

    I don't think it is a Managed Folder Mailbox Policy which is doing this. We have almost ruled out that the issue is specific to Client but not Server. If you want to check the Managed Folder Mailbox Policy for a mailbox run the command below:
    Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -Server ServerName |?{$_.ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy -ne $Null}
    The above command will help us get all the mailboxes where there is a ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy Applied
    To Get the ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy for a Specific Mailbox Run the command below:
    Get-Mailbox MailboxName | Fl Name,DisplayName,ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy
    If Deleting the outlook profile/ost fixed the issue, then it might have been most likely an issue with corrupted outlook rule. if you want to do it for all the mailboxes across org, i would suggest you force that via group policy using a PRF File.

  • Can't Set Default for "Show Items From Subfolders"

    I like to view several folders and subfolders at the same time...and then view another group of folders and subfolders, etc. etc. etc....and to do that I'm constantly going to View > Show Items From Subfolders because the command doesn't "stick."  I've looked around, and don't see a way to set "Show Items From Subfolders" as a default. Does anyone know a way to do that?
    Thanks for any help.

      I've looked around, and don't see a way to set "Show Items From Subfolders"
    as a default. Does anyone know a way to do that?
    You can't do so and I'm still not sure you should, it is easy to forget
    resetting it and when visiting a new folder with lot's of subfolders and
    files not being cached it can slow down your workflow, but that is my
    personal opinion
    An option for you might be to open a new window for a new search in
    different folders. By default the new window reflects the current window
    with all subfolder content but changes also to without viewing subfolders
    after having clicked on a new folder. However switching back to the other
    window(s) they still have the 'show subfolders' active.
    Instead of switching folders you could switch windows (I often have multiple
    windows active and cycle through them using cmd+` (tilde key).

  • Why is "Show Items from Subfolders" disabled during search?

    When viewing a folder with many subfolders, the "Show Items from Subfolders" command is avaiable and I can view all (10000+) files as a "flat" list. However, if I type a keyword in the toolbar's Search box, the "Show Items from Subfolders" command is disabled. That's a big problem for me when, for example, I want to see all photos that have "skiing" in either the filename or in any of the keywords without having to open each subfolder.
    Is there a reason the Subfolders option is disabled? Is there a workaround?
    Thanks.

    Thanks Curt.
    Checking the box searches the subfolders (which also happens if you enter the search time in the Search box on the toolbar), but the results are still displayed as folders that you need to navigate into (rather than displaying all the files that were found in the "flat" format which is what the "Show Items from Subfolders" menu command does).

  • ITunes freezes when importing music from CD and also when playing,

    Just recently iTunes has started to freeze when importing music from a CD - it just stops and the progress bar remains as it it. The whole mac then freezes and I get the spinning beachball. I can't use any other application. The same thing is happening when I play music - it's ok for a song or two and then freeze and the beachball appears. I've downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled and it's just the same. Using Safari and Mail etc is no problem at the moment.
    I also have a problem getting the iMac to recognise external hard drives - it won't show them on either firewire 400 or 800. I can see my 1TB drive using usb ( it shows up on the desktop, whereas on firewire it doesn't do this) but if I try to open it and see the contents in finder, it opens, but doesn't dispaly the contents of the drive. I can see the disk size but just get a grey spinning wheel in the bottom right hand of the finder window. Timemachine does not work.

    I have had the same problem & itunes crashes when i try to import a file. Now i can't even start itune. I've reinstalled itunes so many times, without a fix, I've lost count.
    I did post and had no reply. I'll watch this post with interest.

  • Clean install on new 1TB hdd, Yosemite keeps freezing when copying data from an ext drive and also from a usb

    Thanks - I had a 1TB hdd in my macbook for about 12 months but it started playing up a few days ago (I got the question mark folder on bootup) so I bought another 1TB hdd (same model) and started from scratch.
    My macbook is an early 2010... now I'm wondering if Yosemite is a bit too much for it?
    The ext hdd is my timemachine backup, so yes I have used it often and it has my TM backups - and the usb is a new usb which Ive used a few times.
    The issue seems to be when Im transferring files from an ext drive to my mac. I can use it fine and browse (worked find for 45 mins) then I tried to bring my data across.. and it copied a few gig over before total freeze.
    This has happened about a dozen times.
    I keep running disk utility and checking the disk. I also just ran the apple diagnostics tool that came in the apps cd - the hardware apears to be fine.
    I have a 250 gb partition for the OS and the rest is my second partition for data.
    I'm now wondering if I should reformat the first partition, install leopard from the CD, then upgrade to mavericks and leave it at that.
    Any thoughts would be awesome. Thank you for reading and replying!

  • Bridge freezes when renaming files

    When I rename certain files or folders, Bridge freezes on this message:
    Updating the cache for items within the folder recursively...
    It doesn't happen with all files or folders, but I haven't been able to determine a pattern. I've also had issues with the previews associated with some files (I just get a gray box), so I'm thinking it's obviously a cache issue. I've cleared the cache multiple times with no success. Any ideas?
    I'm running OSX 10.6.7 (which brought with it lovely bug in PDFs with PostScript-flavored OpenType fonts), which might be an issue. I'm also using Dropbox 0.7.110, with three other users...there are a whole lot of files in Dropbox that constantly update, so I can see how that might affect it to.

    Photoshop
    creates a temp file, writes to the temp file, and renames the temp to
    replace the original file, plus gets stat on the files.
    Bridge only reads the file, and writes to it's database.
    Finder gets attributes on the file in the normal folders.
    Dropbox
    gets stat on the files from 2 different processes (Dropbox,

    directories.
    Spotlight (mdworker, mds) gets stat, and reads the
    files, even in temporary directories, sometimes while the file is still
    being written.
    Time Machine (backupd) gets stats, reads the files, and sometimes sets attributes on the files, even in temporary directories.
    Photoshop, Bridge and Finder are acting as expected.
    While Dropbox and Spotlight are doing some excess work, they don't seem to cause file modifications.
    But
    Time Machine is doing things wrong and causing file modifications, plus
    would fit with the "have the file open a long time" symptom.
    and
    on my own system I've confirmed that Dropbox and dbfseventsd will get stats on files outside the Dropbox folder.
    Dropbox has some bugs to fix.
