Bridge cache files for different bridge versions

Bridge with CS2 and now CS3 is a superb image browsing tool - particularly when the cache files are within the directory containing the images. It would be very very useful if new versions of bridge could read older version cache files.
If a user creates cache files in a disk directory and then backs up the directory to a DVD for archival purposes, it would be very valuable to allow the "current version" of bridge to properly read the "old version" DVD archived bridge files. This would add greatly to the browsing speed of the DVD archive - since a new cache file will not be needed (or desired).
In addition, if previous versions of the cache files are on a hard drive, the ability to process the old version files would allow bridge to work more rapidly when browsing images. Of course, there are problems if the user attempts to update information that is version specific, however I am sure there are sane solutions to the problem.

Not having to use a centralised cache was one of Bridge 1.0's strengths.
Not sure about the current versions insistence on centralising with the option of distributed as well or why the cache type as changed. A pain from an archival point of view as I used distibuted cache, which is now a waste of bytes.

  • CS2: Adobe Bridge Cache File on Desktop...Why?

    For some unknown reason...CS2 has started placing "Adobe Bridge Cache" file shortcuts on my desktop. When I click on one, I receive a Win XP error message that says the file .bc is unkown and can't be opened.
    These shortcuts have never appeared before. Now the simple act of opening Bridge and looking at jpeg files seems to initiate it.
    Questions: Why is PS doing this? Do I need to pay attention to it? If not, how do I stop PS from cluttering up my desktop.
    Thanks!
    Ed

    Ed,
    Yes you can. The cache facilitates the quick display of images in a folder.
    When there's no cache, Bridge has to render thumbnails from every image file upon viewing a folder's contents. This can take a couple of minutes.
    Rob
    P.S.
    >I do, indeed, have image files in a folder on my desktop.
    This would mean that there is a cache inside that folder, *not* on the desktop itself.

  • Ldt files for different templates have same data

    i was asked to get .ldt files for different templates. I used FNDLOAD to download the files using xdotmpl.lct file. all the .ldt file when open in text has the same data. Am I doing something wrong. If the files are same why do we need seperate .ldt file for each template.

    But if you developing something and you are going to version it, then
    In case of single LDT
    ==================
    Its easy as you said, we can down load all def into one file.
    But, if one of the template def. got changed, all data gets downloaded unnecessarily .
    Single file , so you can say its easy .
    In case of multiple LDT
    ==================
    But, if one of the template def. got changed, then download that one only into ldt.
    Multiple file , little more effort is needed to create them.
    But more easy to maintain,

  • So how to specify different answer file for different install images in WDS snap-in?

    hello
    in WDS snap-in, in properties on server name, on client tab, we can define an answer file for unattended windows installation on WDS clients.
    my question is, maybe we have added multiple images in WDS snap-in (win xp image, win 7 , win 2008,...)
    now this one answer file applies to all of them ?
    so how to specify different answer file for different install images in WDS snap-in?
    thanks in advanced 

    Under the "Client" tab of WDS, you should only use an answer-file with settings relevant for the installation. This would be credentials for the WDS deployment share, international settings used during the setup and possibly also destination drive
    details (if you want the installation to take care of partitioning the disk etc). The settings relevant for unattend-files used under "Client" would only be of those in phase 1 (WinPE).
    However, if you would like to have specific unattend file for every installation, e.g. Win7, Server 2008, Win 8 etc, you can browse to the image under "Install Images" under the image Groups. There you can select properties for every image and
    have a personal unattend-file.
    hi Joel
    very cool. thanks a lot, that really helped me.

  • Java.util.logging - different log files for different loggers

    I'm having trouble configuring Java logging to use different log files for different loggers.
    In log4j, I would do this by configuring multiple loggers each with a different appender. But how can I do this with Java (java.util.logging) logging?
    This is the basic idea of what I'd like to do:
    com.mycompany.app1.level = FINEST
    com.mycompany.app1.<log file> = logfile1.log
    com.mycompany.app2.level = ALL
    com.mycompany.app2.<log file> = logfile2.log
    Any suggestions?

    This kind of thing?
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.util.logging.FileHandler;
    import java.util.logging.Level;
    import java.util.logging.Logger;
    import java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter;
    public class LogTest {
        private Logger app1;
        private Logger app2;
        public LogTest() {
            // setup loggers

                // first logger
                app1 = Logger.getLogger("com.mycompany.app1");

  • Two files for the same version

    Hi All,
    After created a document and uploaded a version (the original version in the content server), I should want to upload another file (the "printable version" in pdf format) without loose the previous version (the original). Therefore I want to know if is possible to have contemporary 2 files for the same version of the document.
    I saw in the CFF_PHIO table there is the class CFF_ADDFIL in the field "PH_CLASS": is useful for my goal?
    Thanks for any reply.

    That is not possible.

  • Optimizing captivate file for different screen resolution

    Hi,
    I've a problem in optmizing the captivate file for different screens like laptop,netbook and pc. In PC's and laptops, this is not a major issue as the size of the screen is large. But when we play the captivate generated swf file in a netbook, the whole website gets resized to fit in to the resolution of the screen except the captivate file.Captivate file gets truncated in such a way that, the user can read only half of the slide.
    Thanks in advance
    Parvathy

    One thing you can try is adjusting the swf dimensions manually.  I haven't found a way to do it in Cp.  We had a similar problem with some eLearning we built that all our testers used just fine.  But once someone undocked their laptop and was off their desktop monitor, had the same problem you describe, where the bottom of the movie was cut off.
    Once you publish the files, open the .htm file with notepad or your text/html editor of choice.
    Look for a line that looks something like this:
    var so = new SWFObject(strURLFile + strURLParams, "Captivate", "1100", "798", "10", "#CCCCCC");
    or
    var so = new SWFObject("filename.swf", "Captivate", "1600", "1200", "10", "#CCCCCC");
    Change those numbers in quotes to 100%, like this:
    var so = new SWFObject("filename.swf", "Captivate", "100%", "100%", "10", "#CCCCCC");
    save the .htm
    My experience has been it will adjust the swf so it fits either the height or width of the display, whichever is shorter.  That is, it will either fill the top to bottom OR side to side, but keep the swf in proportion.
    hope that helps.

  • Sharing files for different users on same computer without duplicating

    Newbie here, I got my 1st mac (in ten years) last week and have been really enjoying it. I set up 3 user's accounts and wanted to share files such as iphoto and itune for all users. So I put my pictures in the shared folder, however, when I opened iphoto in each user's account, I had to import all the photos for every user, which resulted in duplicated files on each user's folders. I have tens of thousands of photos and don't want redundant files eat up my hard drive space. For this reason I'm holding off sharing my itune files.
    I'm wondering if there's a way to allow access for different users without making duplicates.

    Preferably only admin can edit/import
    Well this makes things very easy and is the way that iPhoto is intended to share. In your Admin account, go to iPhoto -> Preferences -> Sharing and enable Sharing. Note that you can share an entire library or just individual albums. Leave iPhoto running and use Fast-User Switching to move to the other Account(s). In Launch iPhoto and go to Preferences -> Sharing and enable 'Look for Shared Photos'. The main library will turn up in the Source (or left-hand) pane of the other iPhoto.
    Remember that for this to work, the Admin account must be logged in and iPhoto must be running there.
    I don't really care as long as there's no redundant files.
    Define 'redundant'. You do realise that iPhoto is a database, with built-in image viewer, lightweight editor and version control. Version control means that if you modify a photo then iPhoto makes a copy, including the changes, and keeps the Original. This way you can always Revert to Original from the Photos menu. Many people switching to iPhoto are confused by this at first. If you don't want version control I strongly suggest using a different app. There a many, many image viewers for the Mac.
    As to your point comment about One-Touch DVD. I'm not familiar with that piece of Software, but every DVD (and CD) that you burn is assembled on the HD first, then burned. That assembly is a cache file and should be trashed on completion.
    As to disk space: you need to keep about 10 gigs of space on the Start-Up disk for Virtual memory, Temp files and other OS uses. If you do get an external at some point in the future it is possible to run both iPhoto and iTunes from it to free up space on the internal. Just check the help or post back to the relevant forum before moving them. It's not difficult, but there is a procedure that needs to be followed.

  • Where is browser cache file for Firefox 5.0? For example, if I hear a sound on an url, how do I retrieve it or anything else that's in the cache??

    Where is the browser cache file in Firefox 5.0? It's my understanding that in prior versions, one only had to type "about:cache" in the address bar to retrieve the cache file. But this doesn't work on 5.0. I want to retrieve sound files from Cornell.edu ornithology website but cannot find where the file is located. In IE6.0 one only had to go to tools > internet options > settings > view files = viola!! As for prior versions of Firefox, the plug-in CacheViewer was very helpful but is incompatible w/ Firefox 5.0. Please help!

    A-OK, Xircal. Absolutely correct. I had a space where it should not have been. Problem solved. Thx bunches.
