Bridge CS5 - weird goings on with thumbnails...

Hi, I'm using Bridge CS5 and raw images from a Minolta Dynax 7D.
Initially I thought the problem was just that thumbnails weren't being updated after an edit in Camera Raw, but its a bit more complicated than that.
If I view my thumbnails through folders (explorer type view), CR changes are seen immediately in Bridge (as I would expect!).
If I view my thumbnails through a saved collection, CR changes are not seen in the thumbnail unless I then make some other change with Bridge - give/change a label or star rating for example - or switch to Folder View - or choose Clear Cache for Selection from the pop-up menu. Not only are the thumbnails not updated, if it was a first time CR edit, the icons above the thumbnail that show a CR change are not displayed either until one of the above is done.
This is so weird, please don't tell me this is by design!
I have Camera Raw version 6.3.0.79; thumbnail options are set to Always High Quality.
Thanks in advance for any help.

To keep you cache in good working order I recommend you compact the cache occasionally to get rid of the junk.
Thanks for your repsonse Curt Y, sadly it doesn't solve the problem.
I've played around with various cache settings in CR and BR and although purging it does force the thumbnails to be re-drawn in any view, subsequent changes when viewing through a Collection aren't shown. Compacting the cache appears to do nothing.

  • How do I get bridge CS5 to open up with my saved workspace settings?

    Every time I open bridge it opens with large thumbnails in an old folder.  I have to "reset" my workspace (even though it is highlighted at the top of the page already!) and then select the last folder I was working on again.
    Is there any way to get bridge to remember your last used folder and last used workspace setting and just re-open with those already set?
    The  current situation just leads to lots more unnecessary annoying clicking.
    I've tried all the options I can find in preferences and tried creating ans saving different workspace settings but nothing seems to effect how bridge opens up the first time I use it in a session.  I am running it on Windows 7.
    Thanks,
    Clive

    That seems to solve it.  I think your point about exiting bridge before shutting down is important, but you need to make sure bridge is showing the set-up you want to keep first.  I now have a sensible opening screen. Thanks a lot.

  • Weird Goings on with Log4J on Linux

    Hi there,
    I'm using the Log4J package to output logging statements to catalina.out from my webapp. After a while the logging statements seem to begin to duplicate exponentially. Each statement is printed out multiple times from the same thread. I know Log4J is thread safe, and this doesnt happen on windows, Im running Mandrake 10.1
    Anyone seen this before, Is this a problem with Mandrake rather than Log4J.

    I don't use any auto-syncing at all - it's all manual.
    You indicate you are not using auto-sync, which is most likely the root of your problem.
    When using auto-sync, if you rate a track on the iPod... the rating will be be maintained and sync back to your iTunes library.
    If you are not using auto-sync, this will not happen and you are likely to get undesireable results upon your next manual iTunes sync.

  • Weird goings on with my ipods

    hi everyone,
    i posted in the shuffle forum on this but now it seems to be happening with all my 4 ipods. !
    when i plug one of them in to the computer
    itunes does not automatically open anymore with any of them but a window opens with a drive letter (i'm up to (U:)
    and in the window are 3 folders
    calendar
    contacts
    notes
    i don't get it. something has happened and i don't know what it could be.
    i reformatted the shuffle back to factory settings and now when i drag a song over a new empty window opens with the drive letters going towards Z each time a new letter and i transferred over 32 songs in 1/2 hour i got 2 songs over.
    i do not have any spyware, malware or viruses on my system.
    can anyone help ?

    what make and model of camera do you have?
    do all these mysterious drives have the same capacity as the camera?
    i'm wondering about this because i know that some cameras (such as the noir household kodak) use software that convinces bits of Windows that the camera is a hard drive. i figure if something went ... exotically ... wrong with that, it's conceivable that we could end up with fake drives breeding like rabbits on the PC.
    (off the top of my head, i can't think of another thing that could cause this, so let's check the hunch first, and then i'll start doing some research if this doesn't pan out.)

  • Weird goings-on with my ratings

    Strange problem with my iPod (30Gb 5th generation) and iTunes 7 (running on Windows).
    My iPod is full to capacity with just music. I rate music as a listen so that I can delete songs I don't like and replace them. I use the iPod rather than iTunes as "master" of my music (which I've been told is a bad idea, but that's another story).
    Every evening I plug the iPod into the computer so that I can scrap tunes I don't like. I don't use any auto-syncing at all - it's all manual.
    This usually works fine. But yesterday, I plugged in the iPod and found that about half of the (roughly 4,000 tunes) I had previously rated had reverted to no rating, and lots of them had had their ratings jumbled. Many had half ratings, which I've never used or even seen before.
    This is a royal pain in the arse. I've searched around a bit on the web for answers to this and it seems that quite a few people have had a similar problem. Some thought it was related to rebooting an iPod (which I had done several times yesterday), others to not having used it for a couple of days, others that ratings had been "bumped up" one song or two. But no one seemed to have an answer.
    Two questions
    1 - does anyone know what the **** this is all about?
    and more important, 2 - is there any way I can get my ratings - which took months to sort out - back?
    Thanks in advance -
    Tom

  • Different Menus in Bridge CS5 and Bridge CS 5.1

    For some reason the Tools menu has options in the CS5 that are not available in CS5.1 of bridge. Why is that? I'm also missing startup scripts that are discussed in the help files? How can I get the menu commands that are in CS5 into CS5.1?
    I have attached screen shots of my issues. Bridge CS5 versus Bridge CS5.1
    Any help would greatly be appreciated!

    Dear Omke,
    Thanks for the advice but as I said before nothing seem to work :
    first: I'm affraid there is no such thing as photoshop CS 5.5 :
    "Photoshop users, rest easy—-there are no enhancements or new features in this update for Photoshop whatsoever, so Photoshop will remain at CS5, though there is a free patch so it will be able to connect to mobile apps that may be released in the future but just so ya know—-it is NOT a 5.5-level upgrade like the other CS5 products are getting." quote from the Adobe.com site.
    I'm running Photoshop CS5 12.4.0 x 64 : as far as I know the latest photoshop version.
    There is always just one version of bridge or photoshop open.
    Bridge CS 5.1 came with InDesign 5.5. And InDesign 5.5 only seems to work with Bridge CS 5.1.
    I already tried to copy the start up scripts for Bridge via computer (root level, not user account) / library/ application support/ Adobe /Bridge CS5/Startup Scripts  but there seems to be nothing in that file so I revealed the hidden files on my Mac but nothing showed up....
    Now I notice that you suggest another path : computer (root level, not user account) / library/ application support/ Adobe /Start up Scripts CSxx.
    But I don't see any Start up Script file in that location.
    So I'm stuck.
    I need to switch from Bridge CS5 when working with Photoshop CS 5 to Bridge CS5.1 when working with InDesign CS5.5.
    That is not what I paid 749,-€ for !!!
    If this was a restaurant dish with a bug in it, I would send it right back to the kitchen and have the restaurant closed for bad hygenic conditions !

  • Bridge CS5 - no MPEG-2 transport stream preview

    Can anybody help?
    I m running Win7 64 bit, ProdPremium CS5.
    I capture from camera via firewire MPEG files.
    The preview in Bridge CS5 is not psossible (only thumbnail is present).
    Preview using Windows media player and Nero Showtime is running fine.
    No preview in G-Spot (rendering failed-following is the error reported by DirektShow).
    What can i do, i dont want install some codecs, not knowing if there will be another failure or not in my system.

    Let me follow up on my post about installing 3rd party CODECs:  DON"T!!!!!!!!!!
    I did it and ended up having to do a clean re-install of my entire workstation from ground up.  They got in there and next thing I knew Premiere slowed to a crawl and capture went to H**L.  I was told by an Adobe staffer on this forum that I had made a big error in doing that and it was true.
    Now I just wish they would help us/me resolve this no MPEG preview in Bridge and Windows Media Player.  Please, please, please!

  • Bridge CS5 random scrolling and jumping

    Hi, I'm using Bridge CS5 on OSX 10.8.4 with a wired apple keyboard and Wacom Intuos 4.
    When viewing a folder full of images in the content tab, it will seemingly randomly scroll up or down through the images without any kind of input on my part. I've tried updating everything (bridge, OSX, wacom drivers). I turned off all of the buttons on the tablet since I don't use them anyway.
    It's extremely frustrating when I'm trying to skim images for retouching and bridge will decide to randomly skip to another part of the folder contents.
    This happens when viewing content in remote folders, not sure if it happens on local folders.
    Does anyone else have this problem?

    I'm on Bridge CC but also 10.8.4 and a wired keyboard and Intuos 4 but I also do use the wireless magic mouse from Apple that can be very restless sometimes and makes things move and scroll or enlarge without my intention to do so. For now I'm blaming my 'thick fingers' for it…
    This problem happens in any remote folder I browse on multiple servers at different physical locations so purging folder cache isn't going to do anything. I have tried resetting prefs to no avail.
    Still not clear if your problem is persistent or only at the start of using the folders.
    And while no experience nor knowledge about network environment you should be able to purge cache without problem because in the default installation your cache file is installed in the user library of your user account.
    But if you have set a custom location this might be a bit more tricky. You can check the location of your central cache file in Bridge Preferences cache tab.
    I should mention that I have colleagues and associates also running Bridge CS5 on different machines with different loadouts who are also experiencing this problem which leads me to wonder why I haven't been able to find similar posts about it.
    This brings up another question. Could it be you or one of your colleagues or all have set the option to distribute cache to folders when possible?
    If so a build cache of your colleague in the folder might conflict with your own cache trying to read different info. Just a thought. Check one folder and use menu view, show hidden files.
    See if there are 2 files with a document icon called .BridgeCache and .BridgeCacheT
    If so delete both files and try again.
    And since Bridge is not designed nor official supported for use over a network this might be the reason not many people manage to use it over a network and therefor don't run in this problem??

  • Can't view Powerpoint 2007 thumbnails in Bridge CS5 (Win 7)

    I can view 2003 (win) files (saved from Powerpoint 2007) as thumnails in Bridge, but thumbs for 2007 files (*.pptx) are not generated.
    Any ideas?
    Windows 7
    Bridge CS5.5 (4.1.0.54)

    I have seen screenshots with PPTX thumbnails visible. I believe these Bridge thumbnails appear on WinXP installs so I'm thinking there is a Win7 aspect to this...
    Using a Mac with CS6 I tried a pps, ppt and a pptx file and all of them only show as Powerpoint icon and none have a thumbnail with preview of the content.
    Also tried it with Apple Keynote, the Mac PP equivalent and here I checked the option to include a preview of the file but same result, just an icon of Keynote application.
    Looking at the file type associations their is neither support for Powerpoint not Keynote so it does not seem possible.
    The screenshot from your memory is probably manipulated or you suffer from good memory like we all seem to do every now and then...

  • Why do thumbnails in Bridge CS5 open in CS3? How to fix?

    I have both CS3 and CS5 installed on new computer running under Windows 7. I do not want to uninstall CS3 until I fully understand CS5. The problem: When I click thumbnail image in Bridge CS5, the image appears in CS3. I have gone to 'preferences' and tried to figure out how to fix this problem; also looked via windows 7 control panel at default settings;  also tried to follow previous discussion on similar problem -- all without success. Help will be much appreciated.

    CS5 and CS3 to both independant programs and should not interfere with each other.  I would recommend you do not uninstall CS3 as that frequently causes massive file association problems.  However, only one program can be active at the same time.
    CS3 and CS5 use sepearte cache, so there is no cross association.  What you are probably seeing is incorrect file association.
    While in CS5 go to edit/pref/file type associations and see what the default is set to.  You want it to be CS5.  Might click on the radio button at bottom to reset all if that is the problem.

  • No Thumbnails in Bridge CS5

    I have no thumbnail previews Bridge CS5, just empty boxes.

    I have installed cs5 extended.
    bridge will not create thumbnails for my RAW images from the canon t2
    1/550
    the newest RAW plugin update is dated April 21, the RAW plugin which installs with CS5 is dated April 3 I believe??
    I downloaded the April 21 RAW update and replaced the RAW file formats that came with CS5, with the latest as directed on the Adobe Website.
    Now bridge will not create thumbnails for any RAW files from the Canon 40D on up
    Photoshop will open all RAW files fine including all supported as of April 21, including all RAW formats supported with the RAW file format updates from April 21,
    and the RAW converter works fine, and saves the T2i CR images in DNG format as well.
    However nothing works in Bridge, and and cannot import using bridge and convert to DNG simultaneously.
    Is there a fix for bridge and this problem?
    Thanks

  • Do thumbnails show in Bridge CS5 if connected directly from a DSLR (via USB cable)?

    I have a D90 and none of my thumbnails for my files show in Bridge CS5 when connected directly from the camera. This includes ALL types of files (JPEG, NEF, etc). It shows the thumbnails when I use a card reader though. Is this common with DSLRs?

    If you have—misguidedly and unfortunately—done that already, first back up the image files on your computer, then immediately format the card in the camera, which will erase everything in the card and format it to a fresh, pristine state.
    What ever possessed you to do a thing like that? 
    Had you done that to the card containing the raw files you can't open?
    Do not be fooled by what the camera shows you anyway. The preview you see in the back of the camera when chimping* is not a preview of your raw file at all, but of the embedded JPEG that the camera creates right after you shoot and records inside your raw file.  The histogram it shows you in the camera is not based on the raw data at all either, but on said embedded JPEG.
    The same is true when you review or playback the images later on the LCD display in the back of the camera.
    *Chimping is a colloquial term used in digital photography to describe the habit of checking every photo on the camera display (LCD) immediately after capture.
    The phrase is most likely derived from comparison between the sounds and actions some make while reviewing images and those of an excited primate (Oooh! Oooh! Aaah!), or when a photographer is completely absorbed in the act of analyzing, admiring or proudly displaying a shot to others.
    From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimping
    Oy! 

  • Bridge CS5 - creating thumbnails takes forever

    I aleady read about Bridge CS5 being extremely slow. Yes, on my system it sometimes is slow, too. Sometimes it takes AGES to start up (not always), and the most annoying part is, it also takes AGES to create thumbnail previews even of a handful of JPEGs. (about 20 Seconds for 5 JPGs at about 2700x2200 size, 1MB each). Not to mention that CS4 Bridge was much, much faster (speed wasn't an issue at all).
    The interesting part: There is neither much disk activity nor CPU activity. So WHAT is Bridge waiting for?! It's just sitting there doing nothing and the little wheel on the lower left corner keeps on spinning.
    This is mind boggling.
    So there isn't any process "stealing" all the time, it's seems like Bridge is waiting for some kind of event or something.
    When I click forth and back through the folders, sometimes the thumbnails appear faster (seems like re-selecting the folder triggers something)
    Is there anything that can be done about that? I mean, I have TONS of images to browse through, but "browsing" is almost impossible this way.

    Bridge isn't THAT slow. There's something wrong with your PC.
    First, some basic questions: what generation processor has it got, and how much RAM is installed? How much free disk space do you have on each volume? Have you got up-to-date drivers and Windows updates? What do you use for anti-virus, and is it current?
    If it's just sitting there with no disk activity, how do you know there's no CPU activity? How technical are you? If you're a bit techy, you could check resources with Task Manager, and try watching Bridge with Sysinternals' Process Monitor.
    When you revisit folders in Bridge, it will use its own image cache, so it should be faster.

  • Workflow with iPhoto and Bridge CS5

    Maybe there are better ways to do what I wish to do? But first, an observation: iMovie asks me if I want to import the original files and allows me to store them where ever really.
    What I'd like to do:
    1 - plug in camera
    2 - software identifies still digital images and movie files on the device storage card
    3 - automatically (well, once I've prodded some buttons to instruct it what and how to do) puts digital stills in one location and digital movie files in another
    4 - work through the original digital stills using Bridge CS5 putting in keywords where I want AND creating, say, a JPG image maximum of 800 by 800 pixels with an appended filename
    (Reasoning, I find Bridge CS5 quite neat for images with large filesize and Photoshop and like iPhoto for MobileMe-ness to iPhone but iPhoto seems to prefer a smaller filesize to do things swiftly)
    5 - say similarly so for movie files with iMovie allowing me to do exports as it does.
    Problem: how to automate it and make it easy-peasy?

    You do realize that once you downsize the photos to 800 x 800 you won't be able to retain the larger version for printing or any other use, right? Why not just import into iPhoto, add your keywords there, crop them to the aspect ratio you need and use the results. This will save you tons of extra work and situations for possible loss of files.
    Also, as Terence pointed out you can use Photoshop from within iPhoto as the editor of choice:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..

  • Nikon Df Nef File Thumbnails not showing in Adobe Bridge CS5

    HI,
    I am having trouble getting NEF thumbnail to show in Bridge CS5, but only from the Nikon Df. All other, older, NEF files are showing up without a problem
    I have installed the latest updates (Camera Raw etc)
    I would appreciate any advice on getting this to happen.
    Thanks

    Ok thanks for that, at least I wont be chasing my tail.
    I did install the DNG converter 8.3 but I still NEF files as a NEF icon. Any clues to what I may not be doing right there?
