Adobe Bridge Reports Inaccurate File sizes

Im still in CS4 but can't seem to find a forum on CS4.  In any case, why does Bridge report inaccurate file sizes?  I thought I could use bridge to select all of the M2V files in a folder which I wanted to use in an Encore DVD project to get an accurate total file size.  That way I would know if all of the selected files would fit on a single DVD.  But Bridge doesn't report an accurate total file size of selected files.  What's up with that?  Is that too much to ask out of Bridge?

but where is the "activity bar"?  I don't see another total indicator of
selected files anywhere.
Well I think we are talking about something you already discovered but there
seems not an official name for it I believe, I call it the activity bar, it
might also be called a status bar or status monitor, can't find the official
name for it at this moment.
Anyway It is at the bottom of the Bridge window left side. Click on a folder
and it tells you the number of items showed and items hidden (and here it
should also say the total amount of folder size but as said before, a long
standing feature request). Click on one or more files and it shows the
amount of selected files and the total size of the selected files.
When first opening a folder in the content window Bridge needs to cache the
thumbs and depending on settings also thumbnails. When caching you see in
this bar a spinning arrow showing it is still caching and also the amount of
files to cache that are left.
A very useful item in my workflow

  • Why has my Adobe PCD cache.db file size started growing suddenly

    I am running CS4 Design Premium on an iMac which had OS X 10.6.2 until the 29th and now has 10.6.3.
    On 19th March my Adobe PCD cache.db file size was just over 100Mb. Since then it has grown steadily until it is now over 19Gb in size.
    Can anyone explain to me why it should suddenly have started growing please? During this time I have really only run Acrobat Pro; however I have had a lot of browser (Safari and FF) hangs/crashes due to Flash plugin issues.
    I understand the cache.db also holds licence information so is it safe to delete this file? If so will I need to reenter my license information?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
    Phill

    I have the same problem.
    My pcd.db file is now 56 GB
    What is going on !?!?!?

  • Adobe Bridge Changed Cr2 Files to CR2.Jpg

    I'm so exhausted trying to figure this out! I'm a new Photoshop user. Just purchased it. Imported or opened Canon 40D raw files to see slideshow. I usually copy the original raw file from the cf card to a folder on my external drive. Now I need to go in and edit them in Lightroom 2.5 and I only see a small size ( 256x170) file "IMG_8611.CR2.jpg (what?). Does Adobe Bridge change file formats on its own? This is scary! Are the original cr2 files still located somewhere on the external drive? What's going on here? Also, is there any person to person support at Adobe? This is terrible. Thanks.

    In the first post you said you edited the RAW file in Lightroom.  Now you do not mention it.  Where are you editing the file?  If in Lightship I don't believe the normal mode is to generate a XMP file.
    When you open Photoshop it does not automatically open camera raw, so confused here also.
    The least confusing way to edit is to open Bridge and right click on RAW file, then choose "open in camera raw".  You edit and then click done to save edits, or open image to go to PS.  If you double click image it will open PS and the same ACR window.
    You can set up Bridge so that the external drive is a "favorite".  Beware that if you have Bridge set to "open on startup", the external drive may not be recoginzed as Bridge can load before the computer can recognize it is connected.  Disable this function.
    You say "I go to the folder and open the image directly into Camera Raw".  Is this a separate window with all the adjustment sliders that is titled "Camera Raw 5.x"?  Once you do your edits here and click Done it saves the edits and puts a little weird circle in upper right corner of thumbnail to show it has been edited.  If you click Open Image it opens it in PS with the edits.
    How do you save the picture once you have made your edits, Done, Save, Save As, or ?
    You ask "Is there a way to find where the XMP's are and if I can find my original CR2 file in there somewhere? "  As I said in previous post you use Win. Explorer.  It should be in same folder as file, with same name.  NOTE - not all files generate an XMP file, depends on the edit.  Some of the info is written directly to the file. 

  • Osx lion get info reporting incorrect file size

    Hi all,
    I am trying to troubleshoot a strange problem I am having with Adobe Revel. Adobe have been helping me to resolve it but my mac is displaying some odd behaviour which I need to explain and which may be affecting the adobe app.
    The adobe app creates a library file of pictures and the file should be growing as I download more pictures. If I right click on the folder and "Get info" the folder size shown is smaller than I would expect at 25MB given that it should contain a good number of Jpeg files.
    I have downloaded an app called "Grand Perspective" to help me manage disk space and for this particular file it reports a completely different (much Larger) file size than "Get Info" did (155 MB) which is much closer to what I would expect to find and it is growing as more pictures are downloaded.
    Any idea what could cause "Get Info" to report the wrong file size.
    I have another osx Lion mac with the same software loaded and although a completely different machine, it reports the same file size for this library folder as grand perspective does.
    Any help gratefully accepted.
    Slarti

    I'm finding the same behaviour running Lion 10.7.2 and the file with the exact same problem as yours is a Sente (bibliography software) library containing references and pdfs.  'Get Info' reports it as 130KB but I know the file is much much larger than that! Even the Size reported on Get Info shows 874.4MB which is still too small.  If I 'Show Package Contents' on the file and 'Get Info' on the 'Contents' folder which it then shows, I get the correct size of 1.14GB
    Apple Tech Support over the phone wasn't able to explain this behaviour.

  • FTP connections through Finder not reporting correct file size

    Hi,
    I have a NAS that running as an FTP server. When I connect to it through Finder it reports the incorrect file size of 2.7GB (the real file size is 61GB)
    Its an DMG image file so it obviously fails when I try to image a new IMAC.
    FTP through windows reports the correct file size so rules out any problem on the NAS.
    Any ideas anybody?
    Many thanks.

  • Financial Reports PDF File Size

    We recently patched from 11.1.2 to 11.1.2.2 and we have noticed that the PDFs generated from Financial reporting have a file size significantly larger (4x) then when they were done with the previous release. Nothing has changed on the reports. Is there some configuration that can be done to get the PDF file size back to where it was previously ? From Financial reports Help-> About we are on version 11.1.2.362.

    11.1.2.2 come with a new print engine, which does your PDF looks different in size. You may have change the settings by selecting the "Auto Size" option in the Grid Poperties and test

  • Fat32 reports different file sizes???

    I tried to copy files from one Firewire drive to another. The source files were on a drive formated fat32 for use on a windows boot camp disk. When I copied to the Mac OS Estended disk the file sizes were much different. What's up with this -- were the files copied correctly?
    Thanks for your help!!!

    FAT32 uses a different block size than Mac OS. If you check the actual size of the file rather than the space occupied on the drive they should be the same. However, if you copy a Mac file to a DOS disk some of the Mac file may disappear into another file which is the resource fork. Now you cannot copy just the file back to the Mac, you must also include the resource fork or you won't have a complete file. This is because Mac files and DOS files are not "assembled" the same way.

  • En CS5 reporting incorrect file size

    Hi all, I am creating a DVD9 program with 1 video timeline and 3 audio tracks. I exported out of Premiere AME(win 7 pro x64) the video timeline and main audio track(48k wav). I then exported audio only of the other two tracks mpeg audio.
    The exported file sizes that show on my hard drive are:
    5.1 gig m2v file
    2.1 gig 48k wav file
    485 meg mpa audio file
    360 meg mpa audio file
    In En I imported the video and wav file as a timeline, in the build window it shows the file size as 8.1 gigs, not the appox. 7.2 gig as shown above
    I imported the 2 mpa files as assets and added 2 audio tracks to the timeline. When I put either of the mpa assets into the timeline and check the build tab it shows that each mpa file as about 2 gigs.
    I confirmed that there is no video associated with the mpa tracks by importing as a timeline and it showed no video track, and triple checked by looking at the file in quicktime movie inspector. I also went back to AME and exported the audio using format dropdown selection as audio only and selected output format of AAC 48k 256 bit rate and got the same result in En
    In the project window it showed the 2 mpa files as untranscoded, I even did a transcode in En and that made no difference.
    I am at a loss with this one.
    Not sure if this matters, the program length is 3.5 hours
    Any thoughts?

    Hi Stan, here are some caps of what I am doing
    First cap shows the project files as they appear on my HD
    This is the project tab with all assets imported
    This shows timline imported on the build tab
    This shows the build tab after the second audio track is added
    This shows the build tab after the third audio track is in
    I have also cleared all cache files, and created a new project.
    If I drop all the project files into Nero it shows as an 8.1 gig project, not the 12.1 that shows in En.
    To try and determine if there is a corrupt file, I brought each file in one at a time as a timeline, and every one came up as oversized.
    I have done this many times before going back to CS3, I have never encountered this before. This is the first time doing this in CS5.

  • Finder's Information Reports Weird File Sizes

    I dont believe I am exporting any different than I have in years past. My exports out of final cut pro 6.0.6 in HD 1080i60 should come out to about 11gb per hour of film, but lately sine mid january they come out as like 650mb. QuickTime's information says the correct file size of 11GB, but finder says 650mb. The quality is still in HD but the file size is way to small? Am i the only one experience this peculiar thing?

    Ah Ha! that was it...i hate it when little things like that happen. somehow i must have unchecked it one day and never thought twice about it... thank you X. this would also explain some of the other weird video file things i was experiencing.

  • Adobe Media Encoder P2 File Size Too Big for Fat32

    Hi everyone,
    I'm working on a project that has to be delivered on an actual P2 card.
    I'm on a Mac running 10.9.1 using Media Encoder 7.2.2.29.
    My final files are ProRes files and I dropped them into Media Encoder and selected the P2 AVC-Intra 100 1080 option. I set the destination to a local drive and everything seemed to encode properly. I have a CONTENTS folder and all the required subfolders and MXF files. The problem is, when I went to copy the folder to the actual P2 card, Finder told me that some of the files "can't be copied because [they are] too large for the volume's format." And, indeed, looking at several of the video files in the Finder, they seem to max out at 4.29GB (4,294,971,924 bytes), which is 4,629 bytes larger than the FAT-32 size limit.
    I just now tried to encode directly to the P2 card and I got an error that was, ostensibly, a "Disk Full" error, but happened at right around where I would expect that 4GB limit to be.
    Is this something others have encountered? Is there a setting I missed? According to the P2 workflow PDF here, the folder structure AME creates "can be exported directly to a connected P2 card, or it can be exported to a selected drive and the folders and files copied over to the card."
    One possibility might be to split up the files into shorter videos, but I'm not sure how AME would handle ordering on the card.
    Thanks
    David

    I wanted to mention, in case anybody else has this issue, installing and using Media Encoder CS6 produces P2 MXF files that are the proper size. I filed a bug report, hopefully Adobe can get the CC version fixed.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 Raw files not previewing.

    I recently upgraded my iMac from a 2007 to a mid 2011 Mac ...the first running fine with CS5...the newer iMac with CS6 and 32GB ram.  I can't seem to get Bridge in CS6 on the new machine to preview D800 Raw Nef files.  Is there something that I need
    to do when importing to help the process?  What's strange is that the first files in a folder import fine and preview fine.  I downloaded 300 or so images from a 32GB card.  The first 150 or so worked fine.  The rest just don't preview at all.  Help!

    Did you use a card reader for the download? 
    Are all the 300 files relatively the same size?
    Did you ues Tools/cache/purge and rebuild the folder cache?

  • JPG's from Lightroom vs Bridge... file size difference.

    I'm a Photographer. I only shoot in RAW. I use CS2 and Bridge to process my RAW files and then export the finals to JPG.
    I heard the buzz about Lightroom and downloaded the trial to give it a whirl. I have since upgraded my trial version to full version (via serial number) and then took a set of RAW files that were already tweaked (via Bridge/ACR), copied them to another folder (with the xmp side car files), brought them into Lightroom and exported them to JPG. The JPG's created by Lightroom were MUCH smaller. I was very surpised by this.
    I shoot with a Canon 20D and the JPGs generated from Bridge ending up being between 4 to 6mg per image. For the same set of RAW images, the JPGs generated from Lightromm avereaged between 1.5 and 3.5 mg. Both Lightroom and Bridge were set to export the JPGs at the highest quality.
    Can anyone tell me why this would be? Has anybody else found this to be the case? I can't help but think that some data is being discarded from Lightroom.

    Did you choose export metadata to file first? The edits made to RAW images are contained within the database as well as xmp files if you choose this option. The edits for all other formats are embedded within the file (as well as the database) but of course you have to choose the export metadata option first. Your files may be smaller because they don't contain this data.
    The image quality settings are not like for like across the Adobe range so cannot be compared.

  • Adobe Business Catalyst email file size limits?

    Is a limit to the size of files that can be sent through Adobe Business Catalyst email?

    Thanks Liam, I think my client wants to send and receive, but he should be using a service like Dropbox for larger files. At least that's what I do!  Just wanted to know what the limits were for Adobe BC hosted emails, I couldn't find that info anywhere.

  • Advice needed for Jasper Reports - Unacceptable File Size

    Hi,
    we are attempting to use Jasper Reports for online reporting. However, we have found that the filesize for generated reports in HTML formats are simply unacceptable. For example, a Jasper Report of 5000 records is 20MB in size! The download of such files simply takes too long. The reason we believe is due to the image rendering for 'white spaces'. Would greatly appreciate any advice on how to eradicate this problem.

    Have you tried posting this question at jasper forum:

  • Adobe bridge. Searching files

    Hi,
    At work our marketing team have a large image store of files (512 gig). They want to use bridge to quickly search for meta tags (for example locate all 'boat' images) however im not sure exactly how to set this up. I have tried building caches (which takes days) and even then, the search is only fast if i have indexed the files in a search previously. (which also takes days).
    What is the correct method to setup a system for this small group of users to quickly search for files in a large store by using meta tag descriptions?
    thanks

    Not sure what you mean by "have tried building caches". A cache is built automatically when you visit a folder, that cache should remain indexed unless you add new files or meta tags to it. You are right in that the file has to be indexed for the search to work.
    If you try a search with the box checked "include all non-indexed files" it is very slow as it re-indexes everything with each search.
    Not sure how this works on a network like yours, but Vista advanced search is fast for meta data if the directories have been included on the index folder list. The initial index process is slow as it took 12 hours to index just 70 gigs on my computer. For some reason the computer occasionally unchecks the drives to index and I have to redo it. Not sure what causes this, perhaps a virus/spam scan for all I know.
