Bridge is 'building criteria'....... I am sick of it.

is there anything else to browse a large (1000s of RAW files in each folder, 2-3 levels deep) image library FAST?
ACDSee does not show RAWs fast enough

You can use 'prefer embedded images' in Bridge. It's much faster than waiting for Camera Raw to generate thumbnails and previews.

  • Bridge freezes - Building Criteria

    This problem just began two days ago using Bridge CC. No hardware changes - nothing except accepting whatever CC updates have come up.
    I open Bridge, navigate to a folder, and everything seems fine. Click on any other folder, and Bridge locks up with the "Building Criteria" message and arrows spinning ... forever.
    Then I try to exit Bridge. Everything seems OK, but it will not restart. Looking at the Task Manager shows Bridge process is still running. End Process and/or End Process Tree in task manager does nothing. A cold start is required to reload Bridge.
    Have purged cache and prefs to no avail. Updated video driver.

    Thank you for your comments Omke. Realizing none of us are mind readers, my first post in this thread included roughly 200 lines of system info. I can understand why you may not have wanted to read all of it, but the pertinent systems information was included there, including on lines 3 and 4 ...

    As far as exact actions and file locations, sorry I replied from a mobile device. I should not have replied with partial or "remembered" information.
    My first attempt was to hold down the <Alt> key while double clicking the Adobe Bridge CC Icon on the Windows Desktop. That did not resolve the "Building Criteria" message.
    My second action was to navigate to C:\Users\Ted\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CC where I deleted folders entitled Cache, Collections, and Workspaces. That just changed everything but did not resolve the problem ... which I state again:
    I open Bridge, navigate to a folder, and everything seems fine. Click on any other folder, and Bridge locks up with the "Building Criteria" message and arrows spinning ... forever.
    Then I try to exit Bridge. Everything seems to close OK, but double clicking on the Bridge Icon does not relaunch Bridge. Looking at the Task Manager shows the Bridge process is still running. End Process and/or End Process Tree in the Task Manager does nothing (Bridge apparently is capable of ignoring the End Process command). A cold start is required to reload Bridge
    Hopefully this adds clarity to the issue.

  • Bridge cannot build criteria, goes on and on and then tells me to clear cache, which I've done, but it still cannot open. I can see everything in the Mac Finder no problem. What to do?

    I recently moved all of my images to a Mac from a Dell. Everything was perfect, but a few weeks ago I started getting an error message in Bridge that it could not read (not sure of this) the criteria and that I should go into preferences and clear the cache. Which I did. Now when I open bridge it sees a few images and then says it's building criteria, for like hours, and then the same error comes back. I don't know what to do.  Any ideas? I can see everything in Finder or search, everywhere but bridge. it's the same for .psd, .jpg or raw.
    Thank you,
    Cheryl

  • Bridge CC - Stuck building criteria

    I recently upgraded to the Adobe CC suite from the Adobe CS5 suite. Bridge CC was working fine until I upgraded my Mac to the new mac OS X version - Maverik. Since then, when I open Bridge CC the interface opens but none of the files respond to any interaction on my part (click, enter, etc.) A spining circle along with text that says "BUILDING CRITERIA" appears and remains churning. A dialouge box then appears and suggests that I purge the cache from the Bridge prefrence panel. When I do so, the prefrence panel and the entire interface lock up and will not respond to anything other than a force quite.
    My only option is to open Bridge CS5 to views image files which then opens the image file in Adobe CS5 camera raw and then opens that file in Photoshop CS5.
    Can anyone please offer me some help with this Bridge CC issue?
    Thank You!

    Glad to hear you are somewhat back in business and yes, Cocktail is easy to use, good and cheap. It also can run on auto pilot to automate the tasks
    Caching can take some time but that depends on many variables.
    You should have a reasonable fast computer with enough RAM (1 GB is the minimum required but won't get you far, especially when you have other apps also running in the background.) so at least 4 GB is needed, preferable as much as you can store in your machine, RAM is very very cheap nowadays and you will profit a lot.
    Then there is the disk space, for normal HD you need at least 20 % free space left, using SSD also is a lot faster.
    The size and amount of the files is also an important factor, naturally large, big files take more time then smaller files.
    However 6 files a minute would be more about 1,5 GB sized files and I don't suppose you are using that??
    Under normal conditions with reasonable fast machine  and normal Raw, dng and jpeg files 1 file per  1- 2 seconds would be more appropriate I would think. I use a Mac Pro with 32 GB RAM and SSD, and can not really even time the files while caching…
    Be sure to have set the quality to Always HQ and don't use 'generate 100 % previews' because the latter is taking much time and very much space in the Cache folder.
    It is very hard to check all things from distance, but for sure, the behavior you are describing is not normal, nor should your Mac go in sleep mode while Bridge is still active.
    Just for testing, create a new user account and try if Bridge is still acting so slow. If not you should consider to use the OSX Recovery disk, but first back up and read the manual!

  • CS6 adobe bridge stuck on building criteria!!

    can anyone tell me why bridge is permanently stuck on building criteria on my CS6 Adobe bridge - on my Mac
    I never had this problem on my CS5 version. I never ever changed any of the default settings so something is seriously wrong with the default settings on CS6
    for it to be stuck like this.
    I have removed photoshop entirely and reinstalled it to try and see if i can tewak the options but it wont let me - i have to force quit to close the application
    which seems to be building criteria for hours on end.
    I have even left it for 24 hours to build the cache - but this did not help at all.
    any ideas before i remove the whole thing and go back to using CS5!
    thanks

    Ask in the Bridge forum. Chances are your BridgeCache is corrupted and you simply need to delete it.

  • CS6 E Bridge Slow to load thumbnails, 'building criteria'

    When Bridge opens on the folder it was last opened/closed in, it takes a long time to load, constantly 'building criteria' as if all the images are newly imported. I've searched the forums, have tried all the tweaks and settings, but it's still iceberg slow.  Bridge CS5 is noticeably quicker, as if the cache info is being read immediately. CS6 is behaving as if the cache file has been deleted. It hasn't. I have tried the "flush the cache" to see if maybe it's corrupted. No joy. I have boosted cache size. No joy. I've compacted, automatically exported cache to folders, everything... Nothing seems to fix the snail slowness.
    All Adobe updates have been applied.
    i7-2600s @2.80GHz
    8 gb DDRw ram
    Nvidia GeForce GT420 1gb DDR3
    6+ tbs hd space.

    I could understand the glacial slowness if the beta version had also been so slow. Or if CS5 Bridge was also as slow.
    Did not read this whole (long) thread but in general when a previous version of Bridge did work faster then the following this almost certainly is related to your system itself.
    While building criteria in filter panel has a mind of its own and especially when opening a second window to fast (when first window is just finished caching or building filter panel) it may take ages. closing this window and open a new one usually succeeds.
    However when this always takes a long time the problem seems related to the cache (most Bridge problems are...)
    Purging cache using preferences or menu commands is not always the correct solution. Using Bridge CS5 and PS CS6 is also not the perfect solution.
    If you can spare the time you should consider a proper back up of custom settings, actions tools, keywords, templates etc. and a complete reinstall.
    I don't have the correct info for Windows and searching on Adobe.com isn't easy anymore. Here are some old Knowledge base articles (it's about CS4 but changes are locations are still the same)
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/move-actions-presets-workspaces-photoshop.html
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-functions-names-locations-1.html
    and also read about the Adobe Cleaner Tool and decide if this is an option for you.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    If you decide to reinstall:
    Deactivate the software and use the official uninstaller that comes with the application itself and then use the clean tool for Adobe:
    Double check if your Cache folder has been deleted (I'm on Mac, don't know the location for Windows but on Mac it is in the user library caches folder)
    Install CS6 again. Obvious you have to set your custom preferences again and also need to recache your files but if you have a main folder with many subfolders containing the files just select the main folder and in the menu View select 'show items for subfolders' and let it do it's caching overnight.
    In my experience every new version of CS has been faster and more stable (well, except the disaster CS3 version for Bridge...) then its predecessor.

  • Building Criteria fail

    Adobe Bride CS5 is stuck in "Building Criteria". It won't finish and load thumbnails.

    Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Bridge General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

  • Bridge CC just stopped working on my MAC. Was working perfectly for a while and I haven't done anything different that I know of. When I try to load a folder it says " building criteria" and never does load. Please help!

    Please help me figure out why bridge isn't working! I'm pretty computer illiterate, so step by step guidance would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

  • How can I stop the Bridge from building Thumbnails?

    I can see it's reading files in from the Server to build thumbnails. But I'd like to interrupt that process because it slows things down too much. I search Preferences to no avail :(

    The best you can do is to have Bridge use the embedded previews by going in to preferences and UNcheck High-quality Previews.
    But the caches still have to be built, though much faster.

  • How to change Bridge default search criteria

    I'd like to change the default search criteria to search only the selected folder, not sub-folders. Essentially, I want to use the default search as a way to filter the files in a folder. Is there any way to do this?
    Right now, I use the search box in the upper right-hand corner, enter my search word or phrase, hit enter, it searches this folder and all subfolders, I click the "New Search" button, uncheck the subfolders box, and do the search again. Way too many clicks.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hey Mate,
    This is not what i have asked for.
    Anyways thanks for your time.
    Cheers.

    OFDM is a physical layer encoding technology for transmitting signals through the RF. This method breaks one high-speed data carrier into several lower-speed carriers that transmit in parallel across the particular RF spectrum. OFDM, when used with various modulation types such as 802.11g and 802.11a, is capable of supporting data rates as high as 54 Mbps.

  • Bridge sc6 MAC- ERROR! operation could not be completed-lock up

    When I attempt to use Bridge 6  from PS6, I get the ERROR! Operation Could not BE completed, and bridge starts Building Critera and hangs. Can only quit usung a forced quit. I un-installed and re-installed PS, did not help. ANy ideas,
    Thank you

    Hi Curt:
    I really appreciate your quick reply. I did the reset from my Bridge Icon in the application folder and checked al the boxes in the window, when I clicked OK, Bridge opened and then I got the ERROR-Operation Could Not Be Completed. Bridge displays "Building Criteria" this does not stop and Bridge becomes totally unresponsive and does not allow me to Quit. The only way I can quit is "forced Apple Quit". I have the latest updates which I double checked this morning after uninstalling and re-installing PS6.
    I'm still stumped.

  • I purchased CS6 2 years ago (or more) I now keep being asked to register, I also find Bridge is running slow in building the cache is this two problems or are they interrelated  - any help please.

    Hello could anyone advise me please:
    I purchased CS6 Student edition approx 2 years ago, and I have been using it pretty much on a daily basis.  Now it has suddenly started prompting me to register the software because the trial has ended. I did think about uninstalling and reinstalling but thought against this in view of the fact that CS6 is no longer available for purchase.
    I am also having problems with the speed of Bridge in building the cache it seems to take for ever - about 2 sec per image.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5
    And for the Bridge cache simply flush it from the Bridge prefs and rebuild it - after doing disk maintenance liek defragmenting your drives.

  • Bridge CC and ACR unbearably slow

    Upon researching the issue of a slow Bridge CC I realize I am not alone nor is this a new problem. The thread I read extensively is almost a year old. Despite paying for CC for about 9 months I still use CS6. I had hopes that the new 2014 CC would solve the bridge performance issues.
    I am running a six-core system with 32 GB ram, an SSD for my OS and programs, an empty 1.5 TB drive dedicated to cache, on a win 7 - 64bit OS. Bridge CC and camera raw are so slow I can't use them.  My only comparison is CS6 and using the same settings for both programs.
    When opening bridge CC to the folder that was previously cached and loaded used it took ~51 seconds of "building criteria" before i could view the file types, ratings, and details in the filter box. In other words I do not see any information in the filters box for that time. I made sure that the thumbs were completely loaded into the cache before I closed Bridge CC and opened the program to the same folder. The same folder in Cs6 takes ~4 second to load..
    I have performance issues in ACR too.
    I batch edit in ACR like out lightroom counterparts do but Bridge CC Plus ACR are too slow to work with.
    I selected the same 20 raw files in each case.
    bridge CC camera raw 8.5 took 5 seconds of a watch icon  to load the files into the camera raw dialog after hitting CTRL R
    No edits or changes were made to the files.
    when i click to the next image in the list (still in camera raw) it takes  0.5-1 second of the watch icon to load the next raw photo in the batch.
    in CS6 I selected the same 20 unedited RAW files, CTRL R and they immediately load. I can switch from raw file to RAW file without any hiccup or delay. 5 seconds vs instant. I didn't build a six core system to wait for things to load.
    not exactly scientific but that's the disparity I am seeing. Bridge CC is death to me. To make sure I wasn't crazy I clicked on a recent folder with only 80 raw files, 80 respective small jpgs and a couple video files (4.5 gigs of data). It took so long I freaked out that I had moved the files to a backup location instead of copying them. After 30 seconds I stopped counting, opened windows explorer, browsed the backup folder, copied the files and was about to paste them to what should have been the original location and then Bridge decided that it was ready to work. For that ~ 60-85 seconds there was no watch icon, no spinning circle or "building criteria". It just looked as if I was browsing an empty folder.
    Any suggestions?

    c. Once you post something that's helpful I'm sure someone will give you a thanks, until then stop trolling these boards - your name was all over that thread with useless and unhelpful information
    Well mister Chuck 'know it al', you can congratulate yourself. With just 2 posts in the past year and no points for helpful answers at al you come in hard and call one of the most helpful posters a troll.
    This was the limit for both of us, we had to stand a lot, including no help from Adobe but a more crippled forum website after each major upgrade. No possibility to place FAQs, a lot of people screaming for help without taking the effort to look first for similar problems, almost never providing correct details, crucial for a mixed Mac/Windows forum.
    We had to suffer a lot, getting in unpaid and just plain users like all other guests, only it did cost us a lot of spare time.
    But now we can rest from this task because mister Chuck "know it al" has jumped in to the rescue.
    I wish you good luck and pity your friends and family, it must be a difficult task to live with such a nice person.
    Goodbye to you all!!
