Bridge CC constantly re-caching some folders (again).

My new Bridge CC on Win 7 is repeatedly re-caching thumbnails on some folders. Not all folders, just some, and that is my mystery. I have been doing extensive tests and yet can't determine what it is about some folders or their contents that cause a constant re-cache.
Would like to know if anyone else is seeing a re-caching problem with Bridge CC, and if you have a clue why?
I have tried all the usual suspects, short of a complete re-install. I've updated, I've trashed preferences, I've tried many different image folders and contents. I've set my cache size to the max and put it on a disk with tons of room. I've completely deleted the cache and started over. Can't find any rhyme or reason.
This problem is similar to one I and several other people had with CS6 many months ago.

Different people reported different causes and cures. In my case, the cause was the presence of layered TIF files in a folder. Disabling TIF support made it go away. The final cure for me was the last update to CS6 Bridge.
But my current CC Bridge cache problem is not the same. Layered TIFs are definitely not the cause. It appears to happen only on folders with raw files, but not all of them. It does not happen on different folders containing tif or jpeg versions of the same files. Something is making Bridge think the files in a folder have changed when, in fact, they have not.

I have less sympathy. The bug has been documented for several years, and no one seems to have taken ownership of the problem. As it only affects Bridge, it appears to automatically become very low priority. The only reason the first bug was fixed was because I isolated the cause and then badgered Adobe. So, I reckon the only way to get the second bug fixed is if us users can find a way to recreate the symptoms reliably.
I have about 40,000 images in scores of folders, organised by century, year and month-date. I'd say more than 3/4 of the folders are unaffected by the bug. The folders that are affected tend to regenerate up to 3/4 of the thumbnails. Clearing the cache for the folder can sometimes reduce this fraction. As you noted, copying them to a new location can remove the problem, but this is not necessarily permanent, and it often returns. Simply copying the files to another computer doesn't work. It seems to be a problem with the cache and the Bridge database.
I've spent several hours trying to diagnose the criteria which triggers the bug. The ONLY thing which seemed to help was to untick the "Enable Lens Profile Corrections" box. It killed the repeats dead on my system. My guess is that this bug is more likely to affect people to change Camera Raw defaults to enable this feature and process most or all of their images, as they will have a very high percentage of thumbnails subject to LPCs in every folder. Like the 6.1 bug, the 7.3 bug probably needs some other condition to trigger the cache discrepancy which causes the regeneration.
So, my workaround was to remove LPC from all of my non-shortlisted images, and from Camera Raw defaults. Now, I only use LPC on my best images, and only if necessary. It seems to have cut down the drain on resources, but the better my photos, the more work Bridge must do! ;-)

Bridge CS6 constantly re-caching?

In Bridge CS6 (64bit on Windows 7) I noticed that each time I visit a folder I see "activity" in the lower left corner of the window. I see the spinning circle, and reports that tumbnails and previews are being extracted.
This happens on folders that have been previously visited and fully cached. In fact, it happens every time you return to the Bridge window after using a different window (Explorer, Browser, etc.), even though Bridge was left pointing at the same folder. If you use Bridge to open a file in Photoshop and then return to Bridge, re-caching occurs.
So I did some testing and found the cause. It appears that Bridge will constantly re-cache layered tif files. Flat tif files, DNG files, CR2 files, jpegs are not re-cached. Strangely, layered PSD files are not re-cached either. Only layered tif files. And more strangely, not all layered tif files, but most. I haven't figured out that pattern yet. Re-caching of layered tif files occurs regardless of whether they are 8bit or 16bit, compressed or not compressed.
This is a little bothersome when you have folders with a large number of layered tif files. The constant re-caching process can take a lot of time, and is using up CPU and I/O bandwidth for no apparent reason. It's generating the same cache thumbnails over and over, both the 1024 and 256 versions.
I can't find any setting within Bridge that controls this (make it stop). So, questions are:
1. Why is this? Is it a feature or a bug?
2. Any way to make it stop?
3. Can others verify it happens on their system (Windows or Mac)?

I suspect it may be unintentional, but short of being a real bug.
If it worked before in CS5 it well might be qualified as a bug. Anyway, since you discovered this behavior you should report it as bug
Personally I only use tiff for saving in ACR when needed for other applications that can't handle DNG and PSD very well.
Having a bunch of tiffs for this purpose (did not try create layer sin them) enabling and disabling tiff support in Camera Raw prefs starts the caching on my machine for those files. So be prepared on recaching (although not going on, just until finished) when switching the support on and off!
When it comes to layers I only use PSD, in fact, I save every file as PSD as basis for archive. Not saying Tiff is disappearing but it is not a format as popular as it used to be in the early days, especially when it comes to layers
And if you have enabled tiff support and open them in ACR with choosing the option to open as Smart Object they can be saved in a layered file as PSD. As long as they are a Smart Object they can get back to ACR

I've been building a site in Muse successfully until today when I get this error message in the browser, publishing to business catalyst as a test bed:
Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.
Clearing the cache has no effect and I have checked the assets and there are no error symbols. This happened after trying a google translate code in the <head> and a HTML snippet on the master template, I've since removed it but that the last action I took that I can think may have had an effect.
Viewing the source of the page in Safari hash;t helped other than it shows ALOT of html (including some elements i can;t relate to in my site design) and states there are three errors:
[Warning] Invalid CSS property declaration at: ; (index.html, line 1)
the site is Kingsdown Holiday Homes - Self Catering Chalet Rental at Kingsdown Park, Kent | Home
I started this site in Muse CC and then recently upgraded to Muse CC 2014, and I had install issues so deleted the original program (this then forced the download of the new version which was not automatically downloading even though CC notified me that an update was required.
Any information gratefully received.
Thanks,

Same problem here but it has nothing to do with a cellular connection.
Created the site http://www.blackdot.com in Muse 7.4.3 with no issues. Just updated the .muse file today to Muse CC 2014 and reloaded to our web server. Now I am getting the error "Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect." when viewing the site from the latest version of all browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome) on a Mac and all browsers on a PC (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Explorer), also mobile Safari on an iPad.
My connection is wired broadband, not a mobile or wireless connection. I am not using the Muse "Upload to FTP host…" option and will not be using it. I am simply exporting as HTML and copying the files to my server. I have deleted all files from the web server and recopied the updated site with the same error result. This is the exact same procedure I used to load the initial site with the prior version of Muse.
It does not seem like there is an existing solution to this problem although many others are experiencing it. It looks like I will need to manually edit each page to remove the error message coding from the html files. Any tips on how to strip out the alert message from the html?
UPDATE
For anyone else experiencing this issue, I was able to edit the .html files for my site to remove the code responsible for this alert message. If you wish to edit your .html files you must make the same edit to every .html file in your site export including the top level "index.html" and all .html files inside the "tablet" and "phone" folders if you have them.
The coding to remove is at the bottom of each .html file:
(Muse.assets.outOfDate.length||Muse.assets.required.length)&&alert("Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.")
Make sure you do not remove any semicolons or braces {} when making this edit. Just remove the text shown above. You will obviously need to remake these edits if you export your site as HTML in the future.

When I publish my site on one specific page where i've added {tag_pagecontent} I get the error:Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.

I'm trying to get a blog module going, I've even deleted the html insert bog with the tag in and re-published which then I don't get the error but as a result no blog either. But then I add the tag in again and publish the error comes back. I've used the dev console and it says that my musicians sample.css is out of date but why is it only out of date when I add in html to my muse site?
HELP!!!! I've searched other threads and to no avail I'm publishing so no direct ftp going on. the only thing I changed in business catalyst was the module stylesheet in order to style the blog. I've tried uploading and replacing all files nothing seems to work. the site is here:
http://www.musicstudentsforhire.co.uk/musicians-samples.html
It's only this page as it has the blog on. Also I've noticed when I've re-published occasionally it will show the mobile version on my desktop and not the desktop version??? no idea why that's happening so I've had to turn that off. any explanation on why that is happening would also be much appreciated.

I haven't received an answer as of yet, I'll post t on here when I do. I de-activated the mobile site because it's my clients site so he needs it to be operational during the day. I hope someone gives me an answer soon.

Do you have an updated to clear browser cache automatically in Adobe CC Muse?
If not, how can I prevent browser cache?
It is correct if I put in Page Properties for Home Master, in HTML for ha scritto:

Cannot access some folders from Bridge CS6

Only certain folders on my internal drive can't be accessed from Bridge.
I can access the folders from PS CS6 but from Bridge, files cannot be displayed.

Not sure where to look to ensure a folder is both read & write permission. Focusing on one of the folders which suddenly I can't access from Bridge - Pictures; if I use Finder all pics are visible from the folder. If I open a file from the folder in Photoshop I can edit and save in the Pictures folder.
Select a folder in the finder and choose cmd + i or use menu File / show info. This provides a window and at the bottom it shows the permissions that are set. If you are the user and have administrator privileges (meaning you you have access with password to the account and are able to install and uninstall applications) it should sat for both system and administrator 'read and write'
Only from Bridge are certain folders inaccessable....in Bridge the folder has a red circle with white - and message 'no items to display'
This is getting a bit tricky. If you have jpeg or raw files in the picture folder that also show in the Finder Bridge should display them without problems. If you try to visualize a library form iPhoto or Aperture this will not be able in Bridge because those files are packages.

CS6 Bridge freezes with a cache problem Windows 7

I get a pop up when bridge starts,its someyhing new.
It says
Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read cache.Please try purging the central cache in
Cache Preferences to correct the situation.
I do that and Bridge just freezes.
Do I need to alter the preferences,they are set on default even though Ive just not had a problem like this before.
any help appreciated.

Hello Curt thank you for your input.
Id tried that but to no avail so in the end after uninstalling once again but this time using the adobe cleaner afterwards Ive reinstalled from scratch, set the cache folder to be on my scratch drive which is an SSD and un ticked keep 100% previews in Cache .
Also automatically export cache to folders when possible.Ive updated it and all is working OK now.
It has been a reall ball ache and If a lot of reconfiguring to do but hey ho,its working so job done

Bridge crashes when building cache

I am trying to index a folder with many images in it. I start Bridge CS4, point it at the folder, and build the cache (with subfolders, with 100% previews), and after a few hours I return to my computer to find that Bridge has crashed. Console messages are below.
Questions:
1) Is there any way to pinpoint which file Bridge was working on when it crashed?
2) Is there any way to build a cache for my disk other than selecting every folder and building a cache separately for that folder? (hours of mindless work)
3) Anyone else seeing this.
A note for Adobe, just in case someone is reading this: other programs, like FoxTrot, note which file caused the crash, and skip that file on the next build, which allows you to complete building the cache after multiple invocations of the process--which is much better than Bridge's behavior!
Console log says the following: What I think it means is that Bridge has a programming error and is using a freed object--which is always a good way to get a segmentation fault!

Not many here are capable of reading crash reports, neither can I.
It still isn't a good idea to use Bridge for caching large amount of files
in a variety of subfolders to use it for Digital Asset Management. Bridge is
a very fine application for ingestion files, sorting, rating renaming,
adding metadata and developing using ACR.
But with the current use of cache management I'm afraid it is not reliable
for use as DAM. For this you should look at typical DAM apps like Canto
Cumulus, Media Expression or Extensis Portfolio.
I have tried several times to cache large amounts but after many
disappointments I stopped using it for this purpose, still I advocate the
use of Bridge for the before mentioned purposes!
The easiest way to use the build cache for subfolders is to select the main
folder containing all the subfolders in Bridge and then use the menu:
tools-cache-build cache.
Then again, it would not be my choice to use the generate 100% previews.
This will take a lot of disk space (just look for the cache folder for
Bridge (user lib-caches-Adobe-BridgeCS4-cache) point to this last cache
folder and use info to calculate the total size of this folder, with this
settings it can grow to very huge proportions.
When Bridge is caching and having a crash it might have also an other reason
then a wrong file (remember that with your settings it needs a lot of disk
space and takes a great deal of your processor activity.
But the most easy (but not fast) way to look for a corrupted file is to
divide the problem folder in half and every time you have a problem again
divide this one in half until you reach the problem file.
Questions:
1) Is there any way to pinpoint which file Bridge was working on when it
crashed?
2) Is there any way to build a cache for my disk other than selecting every
folder and building a cache separately for that folder? (hours of mindless
work)
3) Anyone else seeing this.

Odd Error with Fireworks not seeing some folders or files

I have just updated to OS X 10.5.1 running on a Mac Pro 2x
2.66Ghz dual-core Intel Xeon with 5gb of memory.
I have been using CS3 for some time now on OS X 10.4 with no
problems. After the upgrade I now can't see some folders and files
via Fireworks. Even files I have just worked on in Fireworks and
saved to a folder. I then try and re-open them by looking in the
folder I just saved the file to but it's not there. If I look with
Finder or any other Adobe program I can see it without any
problems.
Has anyone come across this problem before?

Can't open some folders

I have just re-installed the OS and "migrated" some old things, and now there's a few folders that I can't open. I get this message:
The folder "xxx" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.
What to do?

Where on the disk drive are these folders located? If you select one and invoke the Finder menu option File -> Get Info", what does it show as the owner and permissions and how does this compare to folders you can open?{quote}
Thanks for asking the right questions.
The folders I couldn't open were not on the OS drive but on other internal drives. They had a small red "don't pass" sign on the down left corner. In the Get info, under Sharing & Permissions it said: You have no access.
At the bottom there are two accounts: "my name" and "everyone". I unlocked the folders then changed the everyone account from No access to Read & Write - and now everything is good. Thanks again!
But why some folders have this problem? I am logged in as "my name", not as "everyone"... Is there a setting somewhere that I should correct?

DreamWeaver MX 6.1 auto-expands some folders

Ok still runs DreamWeaver MX 6.1, and although I seen the bug
I am about to describe before, it has been stable for a few years
until now when I moved web content from one drive to another and
then went into DreamWeaver and changed site definition, only having
to change one letter, the drive letter as folders stayed the same.
No however DreamWeaver auto expands some folders, not sure
why not all, and it takes two clicks on the "minus" icon to
collapse the folder. However as soon as I switch to another
application and then back to DreamWeaver it expands again, or if I
switch to another site within DreamWeaver and then back to the same
site again.
What gives? This is REALLY annoying, because one site has
like a 800+ sub folders which caused a delay before showing and
ready to accept new input or menu commands.

After transfer some folders have 3 versions

I transfered my photos from PC to a new iMac using a network cable(17GB).
Some folders now have three versions with dates as a sub-name. Instead of dates: Large, Medium and Small. Same images only different in size.
Other folders go by: Large, slides, thumbnalis..with dates in a smaller font underneath.
I also had some folders with dates messed up. I did "Rebuild", dates are fixed.
I don't know if another "Rebuild" will fix it.
maybe it's better if I delete all the photos and transfer the images again using a USB Flash Drive ?
Should I delete the whole Library folder or to use "select all" inside the library and then delete ?
Thanks!

zetaL:
Did you copy the photos directly from the PC into iPhoto? Since you still have them on the PC try the following:
1 - delete the current library package from the Pictures folder.
2 - create a new library.
3 - copy your photos to the Desktop first. I assume they are in multiple folders, right? Then create a new folder on the Desktop and copy the folders from the PC into it.
4 - check the permissions on the photos by selecting one and typing Command+i. Make sure you are the owner with read and write access.
5 - now drag the folders containing the photos into the open iPhoto window. At first, just do one at a time to check how the import is doing. Once you've determined that the imports are going correctly and you get the option to eliminate duplicates you can drag multiple folders into iPhoto's window.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Some folders periodically 'dissapear'

I have a user who comes to me 2 or three times a week saying that her shortcuts aren't working. This has only been happening over the last month or two.
After some investigation it turns out that Windows explorer isn't displaying the entire contents of some folders on our file server.
As an example for one of the folder shares on the file server the directory listing as it appears to me and every other user and computer is as follows
04/01/2011 15:31 90,112 2009 Employee time in department.xls

This type of behaviour continues through the folder structure. Then after a while they all reappear. I have managed to force them to reappear by logging off and on again.
The workstation is Windows 7 x32, the server is running Server 2003 R2 with active directory for authentication.
The user is a member of the correct groups and the folder has the correct permissions set.

Milos, I'm not sure what you are getting at
1) What persistent parameter? I have configured this workstation and profile exactly the same as every other workstation and profile on my site.
2) I have tried manually typing a valid path into the address bar within explorer and nothing happens. It doesn't go there, and I don't get an error or even the rotating circle. There is no mapping as such, our setup is relatively simple,
we only have 30 users across 40 workstations. On the file server we have about 30 folders that are all shared. Within Active Directory we have a number of user groups denoting department. Each shared folder has different permissions set for
each group. Within the example shown above all of the sub folders just inherit the permissions from the parent folder.
3) I will give wireshark a go, however I don't know what I should be looking for.

Finder crash when clicking on a some folders

When I click on some folders Finder closes and starts again. Log and report:

Are the folders in question inside your home folder? If not, where are they?
Before you do anything else, I suggest you quit Dropbox and see whether there's any change.

HT1386 why are there 0's in some folders that i put photos in in iPhoto when I veiw it in iTunes?

why are there 0's in some folders that i put photos in in iPhoto when I veiw it in iTunes?

Those files should be being created in folders of the form:
<User's Music>\iTunes\Album Artwork\Cache|Download\<GUID>\<##>\<##>\<##>
The <GUID> in your case is 0CDB362F24AD473A...
If they are appearing anywhere else I would suspect a permissions problem. iTunes just spits them out where it can. Similar problems can sometimes cause it to drop files on the desktop.
Repair Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
Once you've repaired the permissions search for all files of the form *.itc2 in the music folder and delete them, then start iTunes. iTunes will rebuild the artwork cache in the correct location as you scroll through your library.

Bridge CC constantly re-caching some folders (again).
