Bridge CS6 Cache Indexing Very Slow

In CS6 the first time a folder gets indexed it takes about 5-10 times longer than for CS5.  I use embedded thumbnails.
For example I have a new folder of 70 .wmv and .mp4 video files.  Each file is between 100 and 240 megs.  I took over 6 minutes to load the thumbnalils the first time.  I dumped the cache from the Tools menu and it rebuilt in about 40 seconds, which is the same as for CS5.
Anyone else experience this?
Win7 64 bit, 8 gig ram.

Curt, I have noticed this for video files as well, it's painfully slow. I do notice it indexes much slower when accessing an external drive, but this is frustrating because I feel like it should be faster.

  • Bridge CC just got very slow

    I am a very old and experienced Ps/Br professional, but can't get around this. My Bridge CC (on a very nice and fast quad core Windows 7 PC), at some point became very slow.
    Even in the Essentials layout, just going through the thumbnails (already 100% cached, even small files, on fast HDDs always) with the arrow keys is quite slow. Opening Br became slow too.
    I purged all the cache, I have no weird background programs running, there's 8GB or fast RAM. Br is now unbearable! Any ideas?

    Hi guys,
    Same problem here. I noticed like 2 months ago this problem and I hoped will be fixed by some update but no. I`m a hard user of Bridge with Photoshop CC, InDesign CC and sometime Illustrator CC to. At home, I use CS6 suite (Bridge included !!!) on a 7 years old laptop and BRIDGE is 10x times faster than the one running  at work  (Bridge CC) on a dedicated graphic PC, i5 CPU (4 threads), 16 Gb RAM, 2Gb Video card, 512 SSD  ecc.
    So, can anyone give us some clue/explanation   about what`s going on?
    Thx a lot for your time.

  • Bridge CS6 Cache

    When I change folders in Bridge CS6, I'm told there's a cache problem and I should purge the cache.  I've purged this several times with no effect, restarting Beidge each time.  Have also rebooted and done a safe boot.  I'd like to reinstall but have no disk, as I originally downloaded the photoshop package when I bought it.
    Help with the caching problem appreciated, also a pointer to a download site, which I can't find at adobe.com
    Running a Mac Pro with OS 10.8.5, latest Bridge CS6 update.
    Thanks,

    The computer is a Mac Pro, 100 GB RAM,
    I don't believe that is a correct number, supposing you have a early 2009 model the max is 32 GB or you should have a special build 8-core actual but that can handle max 96 GB. In those days in dollars the equivalent of a very nice car…
    Check again and also check your graphic card, the 2009 came with 512 MB ATI Radeon HD 4870 or NVIDIA GeForce.
    512 MB VRAM is the minimum required
    1.6 TB of disk in 4 drives.
    Depending on your needs but to me this seems a very low number, I have a total of 7.5 TB on disk space in my MacPro 2012. Digital images are very space consuming especially if you use layers in PS.
    HDDs are very cheap nowadays as is RAM compared to 10 years back.
    The boot drive is 640 GB with 85 GB available.
    This really is a very low number, roughly about 13 % free space left. The system, PS and other applications need space to write temporarily data to and 13 % is not that much left, especially if you have a lot of fragmentation going on.
    What else do you need?
    RAM and VRAM
    And the last 2 questions from post 5

  • Spotlight indexing very slow after upgrading to 10.7.5

    SInce I have updating to 10.7.5, the spotlight indexing of my hard drive is very slow : only 40% has been performed in two days.
    Does anyone have similar problems after upgrading to 10.7.5 and know how to fix them ?
    Here are some excerpts of log files :

    You're not the only one. I've been re-indexing on and off for the last four days to no avail. I had to call Apple today and was put through to a senior technical advisor. After doing a data capture for them I was told that they should be able to come back with an answer within the next two days.
    It's worth giving them a call to let them run through the clearing caches process with you if you haven't done that already. Remember that using your machine whilst it's indexing also slows the process down.
    I will let you know when they come back with an answer but I hope by t would hahen both of our machines would have finished re-indexing by then...

  • Bridge CS6 cache problem causes freeze

    MacPro early 2008, 10 mb RAM, Apple OSX 10.7.3, CS5 already installed.
    CS6 Beta was working fine until today.
    Now when I open Bridge CS6 I get "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation."  I then try to purge the cache, but nothing happens and Bridge freezes.
    Worse, I cannot use my keyboard at all or perform any mouse click actions if Bridge is the active window.  I cannot close Bridge.  What I can do is alt/tab to another window, and then Force Close Bridge.
    I have tried restarting the MacPro but this does not solve the problem.
    The problem started earlier today after I re-edited a nef which I had previously edited in ACR 6.  I cancelled all the previous edits first.
    Also, yesterday I installed Little Snitch, which I have now uninstalled.
    There are no CrashReporter logs for the freezing problem.

    How is your disk free space?   When I loaded Bridge CS6 the default option was for 100% preview.  That takes a lot of time and space to build.  Can occupy gigs of space.
    I reset thumbnails to embedded.  Much smaller and faster and for me works just fine.

  • Bridge CS6 Cache problem

    Have installed Photoshop CS6 and in using Bridge I get the message "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation". If purge the central cache as instructed, on the start up of Bridge I get the same message and are unable to use Bridge.
    I am on a Mac using OSX 10.7.4
    Your help will be appreciated

    "Removing the Cache manual is fast, you only need time to rebuild cache,
    but that is something you can do with one click on the button an let it
    run overnight."  How do I do that?
    The path provided is for a Mac, there should be a similar path for Windows, maybe Curt can provide you this. The principals stay the same, you quit bridge, dump the cache file manual, restart Bridge (builds a new, empty but fresh cache folder) and when you point Bridge to a folder it start building the cache according your settings (ACR, HQ preview etc.)
    If you have a lot of subfolders just select the main folder, use the menu view / show items from subfolders and this means your main folder shows all the content of your subfolders in the content panel.
    This takes a while and according to your amount of files and file size as well as processor speed it can take several hours before it is finished. For best practice start this procedure as 'last of the day', leave your PC on for the night and let Bridge do its job. It takes a lot of resources and time for Bridge to cache so if it is the only task your PC has to do the better it will do it

  • Bridge CS6 Cache and Freezing Issues

    I downloaded Bridge CS6 and I have not been able to use it yet. I am on a MacBook Pro running 10.7.4 and every time I launch Bridge I get the following error:
    Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation.
    When I try to purge the cache Bridge freezes up. If I don't try and purge the cache I am unable to navigate to any folders on my computer and it just hangs. I eventually have to force quit to get out of it. So far Bridge CS6 has been completely unusable.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    When I go to ~Library/Caches/ there is a folder for com.adobe.bridge5 but there isn't one for com.adobe.bridge6
    Your in the wrong folder. Follow the path you have discovered yourself using the pref settings Curt suggested
    ~library/caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6 and inhere should be 2 files:
    Adobe Bridge Plug-in Cache
    and the folder called Cache. Inhere should be 4 folders called '254', '1024', 'data' and 'full'
    All those folders carry the content of the respective quality of the thumbs and preview as well as 100 % cache and Bridge database.
    Any way, Since you have not used Bridge you have no relevant amount of cache and I would suggest you quit both PS and Bridge and manual delete both the items (plug in and folder called cache at the end of the Bridge CS6 path mentioned above.
    (both files will refresh itself after a restart of Bridge).
    To be on the save side also visit in same user library the folder Preferences and look for the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist" (yes it is Bridge 5 that comes with CS6, all Adobe apps have their own version number and they are presented in the same Suite version. CS6 has PS version 13 and Bridge version 5 )
    also drag this file to the trash.
    Then hold down option key (alt) while starting Bridge and this should give you the option to reset the preferences as mentioned earlier in this thread.
    Choose reset prefs and try again.

  • Bridge CS6 cache location

    My Master Collection CS6 was installed as administrator under Win 7 x64 Pro .
    In CS5 I placed the cache on a non-boot drive.
    In CS6, the only cache location options available to me from within Preferences are within my User folder on the boot drive.  I am running as admininstrator, and have tried explicitly running as administrator to no effect.
    How can I get the CS6 cache onto the drive of my choice?

    Note the current folder and the full path to the folder you want to use for the cache.
    Run regedit.
    Search for Bridge CS6.
    Look down the associated keys and locate the folder noted above. Only one place needs changing.
    Edit the folder name to read the new location.
    Re-start Bridge and check the preferences show the new folder.
    Delete the old cache folder (mine was 40+ gigabytes).
    Leave Bridge running until it has finished regenerating the cache in the new location.
    It might have been quicker to copy/move the old cache to the new location before re-starting Bridge after the location change, but I wasn't sure it would work correctly and was pleased to have a fresh, clean cache.

  • CS6 indesign & illustrator very slow in processing

    since i installed CS6, both illustrator and indesign work extremely slow when moving objects, fonts etc.
    the documents are not big, just one spread full of text and the programm takes too long to process the action.
    working in CS5.5 was always fine but CS6 is just so slow that work has become difficult.
    i didn't change anything in fontexplorer nor did i change anything with my RAM.
    and idea what i can do to make CS6 work better and more efficient?
    thanks!

  • Bridge cc is running very slow

    The past few weeks i have noticed Adobe Bridge has a very bad lag in it when browsing and rating files (ie: hitting the arrow key to move to next photo for rating will take several seconds before it moves to the next photo. also if I ctrl+click several images, it will take several seconds before the the images are selected).I am running avg premium security 2014 (recently updated to internet security 2015 after initial slow down) an if i disable avg the lag seems to go away, same if i disable my network adapter. I have watched my network packets and have allowed any ip address/domains and applications in avg... yet problem remains. I started using opendns recently as well but also have checked all traffic that I've seen dealing with adobe and all is allowed,
    I have contacted adobe and did as they stated, which was to re-install the application and clear my preferences. This had no effect on the performance of the application. I have also cleared the cache and have waited until all thumbnails have loaded. still no fix. I have read that some people fixed this by removing any favorites that went to external drives or cloud drives. I did this as well and no fix, My work machine also has several favorites that are cloud drives and it works just fine.
    I was then instructed to contact AVG as they said it sounds more of a firewall issue. I use same version of bridge at my work (32 bit though) and avg business edition 2014 and sonicwall firewall and it has no problems, even being a less powerful machine. Any help would be appreciated. When i contacted avg thy informed to me to add bridge exceptions and to allow bridge on firewall. I have already done that. I have reset my firewall settings in avg and changed the mode to interactive so that maybe if it was the firewall it would ask me to allow or deny...nothing. It has now started lagging even when the avg is disabled.
    any help would be aprreciated

  • Adobe CS6 installation is very slow if internet access is blocked

    Hi,
    I noticed that our Adobe CS6 installations (using an AAMEE package) were surprisingly slow (as in five hours on a fast machine).  I've worked out the cause of the problem, and am posting it here in the hope that it will help someone else experiencing the same issue - also, if anyone from Adobe is reading this, it would be nice to get it fixed, at least for future releases. :-)
    The problem is that our machines don't have direct access to web sites on the internet, i.e., port 80 traffic is blocked by the external firewall.  I discovered that the CS6 installer was repeatedly attempting to contact various web sites, including crl.verisign.net, presumably in order to validate digital certificates on files in the install package.  Each such attempt had to time out before the next was made.  Configuring Windows Firewall to block these attempts reduced the install time from five hours to thirty minutes.
    On Windows 7, this command can be used to install a firewall rule that will block outgoing port 80 traffic:
    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="block www" dir=out action=block protocol=tcp remoteport=80
    Once installation is finished, this command will remove the rule:
    netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="block www"

    For later versions (Adobe CC and onwards) you need to block port 443 as well as port 80.

  • Finder/Indexing very slow

    My Finder is currently spiking between 100 and 196% on a dual processor PowerMac g5 with 2GB memory. In the past, I've simply deleted the PLIST file and repaired disk permissions and the problem has gone away. No deal this time.
    Additionally, in trying to solve this I decided to re-index to see if that helpde, so I deleted the current index and set indexing in motion. After over an hour, this G5 has indexed less than 10% of the one hard drive I have, performance which, using severe understatement, is SLOW. Activity Monitor says that ContentIndexing is using as much as 100% of a CPU .....to apparently do almost nothing.
    While I have added no new software in two years, it seems that every time I do an official Apple "Update" something gets worse...
    Any suggestions? (othger than stop doing Apple updates)
    Thanks

    rafterj2:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I suggest you begin with:
    *Repair Disk Permissions*
    While booted from your internal HDD
    Go to (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left column and First Aid in main column.
    Click Repair Disk Permissions at bottom left.
    then:
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
    Please be sure to post back with S.M.A.R.T Status info.
    Next, download and launch MacJanitor. Run daily, weekly and monthly tests.
    In addition, the following articles on OS X Maintenance offer sound advice and links to resources:
    Macintosh OS X Routine Maintenance
    Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance

  • DNG Codec makes Vista Indexing very slow?

    Hi,
    I recently installed the DNG codec to preview my photos in Windows and I let Vista Search index all my storage. It was taking weeks and the number of indexed files was barely moving. I wasn't sure what it was so I started excluding folders from the index one by one. Eventually I realized that it was the Pictures folder which contains roughly 60GB of mixed JPG and DNG photos. I uninstalled the DNG Codec and now indexing is finished, including the Pictures folder, several hours later.
    Vista Home Premium, 32-bit, 4GB RAM, Core 2 Duo 2.66MHz.
    Regards,
    Pavel

    I've got:
    4GB memory
    Page File (virtual memory) is 7326M
    2.4GHz P8600 Dual core processor
    105 GB available disk space
    video card is a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M
    Those stats should surpass the minimum requirements with flying colors.
    I've just noticed that ever since I've got Windows Vista, any menial task of moving (cut & paste) a 100KB file from one folder to another folder on my local PC could take minutes instead of milliseconds. Unzipping items also takes a ridiculous amount of time. I was thinking this slow vista file management might be causing the slow Oracle install.
    I was hoping someone else might have see this issue before and can tell me where the "go-faster" flag is located.
    Thanks!

  • Mavericks Caching Server very slow on gigabit Microsoft Network

    Specs.  OS X 10.9.5 / Mac mini / 8 GB Ram - Connected to Gigabit ethernet, 2 TB Hard Drives, 2.3 Ghz i7
    Only a few days old.  I have done all available updates that Apple released.
    I had some difficulty getting the Mavericks caching server to work in the first place on our Windows Server 2012 network. Caching would work for the Server itself but none of my iPads or other Windows machines would cache or pull from the cache.
    My work around was to manually create a DNS Host Name and PTR on the Windows Server so that we could actually nslookup and ping the Mavericks Server by hostname.domain.local  This immediately fixed the issue and all hosts can cache and pull from the cache.
    Speed is an issue.  I currently cannot get any transfer speeds over 2 MB/s
    Using the caching server to deploy an app (I verified that the internet connection was not being used and that it was coming from the caching server)
    Connecting to a file share on the Windows Server and manually Copy/Paste files.
    I verified the slowness using Activity Monitor on the Mavericks Server.
    I have researched and found many similar complaints for the SMB2 protocol.  I did not find a good enough Terminal Command to paste that I felt comfortable doing and at a later date undoing when Apple fixes the slowness issue.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Does anybody know the protocol that Mavericks uses by default to send out the cached updates etc (SMB)?
    If you know the correct command to paste into Terminal to force Mavericks to use SMB1 and also the command to undo this change I am willing to try that as well.
    Thank you in advance,
    TechJeff

    I tweaked the DNS a little bit more...Under DHCP IPv4 Properties --> DNS Tab.  I selected  "Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request updates".  This allowed our DNS to register the Macintosh server and ipads etc.  My SMB2 speed is up to 300 mbps from 16 mbps.
    My caching server transfers are still maxing out at 2.1 MBps.  I have switched out my wireless unit to a 150 mbps unit that the iPad is connected to.  My next troubleshooting step will be to download an app in iTunes on a computer that is plugged in to our gigabit ethernet on the same switch as the Mac Server to elliminate any potential bottlenecks or wireless issues.
    Still looking for ideas if anybody has troubleshooting ideas.
