Bridge looses cache folder tree window when I rename parent folder

I managed to activate the code to change the name of the parent folder containing some images (I put an underscore before de parent folder name).
When I did it by hand, the folder and subfolders I was navigating on were visible on the folder window (left side)
But I lose the navigation of folders in the left window when I do exactly the same by code.
    var newPath = decodeURI(Path.parent)+"/_"+name;
    var bt = new BridgeTalk();
    bt.target = "bridge";
    // as acções do bridge contêm 1. colocação do _   2. label  3. organização dos ficheiros por tipo
    bt.body = "app.document.thumbnail =Folder('"+newPath+"').fsName;";
    bt.send(8);
    bt.pump();
... and the left navigation desapears...
Is there same cache loosing problem? Can I recreate the last folder navigational window some how with code?

I can't believe I found it, but it works and it is simple.
At the same time, I spent 2 years using Bridge the wrong way and if I had an Adobe Bridge dev here, I wouldn't be very happy.
Why Adobe simply can't give straight and direct answers like this case?
When i rename a app.document.presentationPath, I usually returned to its parent folder on first place and then refresh() this one.
Then I would go back to the new renamed folder.
Problem:
The 'Content' panel was OK and refreshed but the 'Folders' panel was not: the last non-renamed folder was still there and I always needed to close its parent folder on 'Folder' panel, click F5, and reopen making that ghost folder to disappear.
The solution is simple and logical but sadly it took 2 years for me to solve it.
I only needed to start dealing with the node string containing a fully qualified Bridge URI (uniform resource identifier).
For example:
var origin = Folder(app.document.presentationPath);
var renamedFolderName = 'v_'+ Folder(app.document.presentationPath).name;
app.document.thumbnail = new Thumbnail(new Folder(app.document.presentationPath).parent); // back to parent folder
Folder(origin).rename(renamedFolderName ); // renaming
app.document.thumbnail.refresh(); // refreshing the parent folder
app.document.thumbnail = new Thumbnail(new Thumbnail(Folder(Folder(origin).parent + "/" + renamedFolderName ).fsName).uri); // the uri is the node (fully qualified Bridge URI)
And... the 'Folders' panel was updated correctly and the ghost folder vanished!

  • Adobe Bridge is extremely slow to load thumbnails in the content window when opening a folder.

    Has anyone else had any issues with Bridge taking a long time (45 seconds per window) to load the content window? I have my files nested in folders and when I browse them using Bridge it takes me forever to get to the files I need. I'm asking here to see if there's some setting I need to adjust or something. We just recently started using CC and I had no problems at all until our IS department swapped out my tower with a new one. I don't know why that would make a difference but it's the only thing that's changed.

    You might want to provide more details about this configuration (OS, what files are you viewing, are you on stand alone or via server) but in general a new computer (I think that is what you are talking about?) means all the difference.
    The specs regarding free disk space, RAM, VRAM and processor speed is vital for application like PS and Bridge that are very processor demanding when busy.
    And you need to recache the lot first once to save the data for thumbs and HQ previews to the cache for future use. Once a file is cached it should show instantly. Best way to recache is to select the main folder and use the menu view / show items for subfolders and then let Bridge do its work. This can take a long time depending the amount and file size of your content.

  • Can't choose cache folder in Bridge CS6 on a different drive/partition

    Hi,
    I just installed Photoshop CS6 and noticed a non-critical, but nevertheless annoying problem in Bridge (Platform: Win7 x64):
    When I try to relocate the cache folder (Menu: Edit -> Preferences -> Cache -> Location, then pressing the button "Choose"), the path selection dialog that pops up is actually incomplete.
    That is, it doesn't show all my drives. In fact, it doesn't show ANY paritions.It just defaults to the usual user home directory (on partition C: ), but won't show (and hence: won't let me select) any other partition. To be more precise: The root folder of the tree shown is the "Desktop" folder in my user home directory - and that's all there is.
    Since there is no field were I could enter (type) the path directly, I'm basically stuck with having my cache on C: now. Which isn't the place where I want it. (I have not enough disk space there)
    For comparison:
    In Bridge CS5, the same dialog is working as expected: I.e. when I scroll down, I can also see other partitions, and choose a path somewhere on, say, drive F:
    BTW: I also noticed this same behaviour with the CS6 beta, but wasn't concerned then, because - well... it was just a beta, and I thought that somehting as obvious as this would be fixed by the time the final version comes out... :-/
    Is there any other way to set the cache path?
    Should I file a bug report?
    Before someone asks: Yes, I deinstalled the beta before installing the final PS CS6, and yes, everything else seems to work as it should.
    Thanks in advance for any replies.
    Regards,
    Manuel
    P.S.: If needed, I can supply screenshots of the dialog in question.

    Thanks for your continuing suggestions, Curt,
    The date of the document you included is 2006, so it is way out of date.
    Mmmh, I can only see:
    /Last updated
    2011-06-30/
    While that's not brand new (and doesn't explicitely mention CS6), it's
    significantly newer than 2006 and it's the exact same page that comes up
    when you open Bridge's help window and search for "reset". Other pages like
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2009/10/resetting_bridges_preferences.html
    and
    http://planetphotoshop.com/resetting-bridges-preferences.html
    also concur that it's CTRL-ALT-SHIFT - which is what I used to
    successfully reset the settings.
    But let's stop talking about what's the proper way to reset Bridge's
    preferences and get back to the actual topic:
    In preferences/startup scripts do you have checks for at least Bridge
    and Photoshop?
    I just had a look, and every startup script is checked (including the
    ones for Bridge and Photoshop)

  • Bridge Frozen & needs cache folder emptied.

    In Bridge I got an error message saying I needed to purge the cache folder, but when I attempt to do that, everything freezes and I have to force quit Bridge.  I was told to go to the Bridge cache folder in "library" and delete specific folders there to solve my problem.  Unfortunately, I cannot find "library' neither by opening folders and looking nor by doing a search for "library".  Apparently it is invisible or missing.  What can I do about this????

    Press and hold the 'Option' key while using the 'Go' menu in Finder menu bar.
    You will see a 'Library' item appear. This is technically your user library folder (typically referred to as '~/Library').

  • HT5096 where is the administrator window when I drag the folder "Backups.backupdb" from the old hard drive on the new one?

    where is the administrator window when I drag the folder "Backups.backupdb" from the old hard drive on the new one? At the moment when I try to do it, the window that appear doesn't allow me to continue. it only says "the volume has the wrong case sensitivity". thanks

    Although the documentation says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it's very slow and sometimes doesn't work at all.
    Launch Disk Utility, open the built-in help, and search for the term "Duplicate." Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be erased. That shouldn't be a problem, because you don't want to mix backup and non-backup data on the same drive anyway. Turn Time Machine OFF in its preference pane while copying the volume.

  • Command line option to specify Bridge master cache

    Please allow a bridge command line option to allow the user to select a specific bridge master cache.
    The  motivation is as follows:  I have written a c++ programme to key-word  all of my many thousands of photo projects.  Essentially each project is  in a separate directory on 8 terabytes of networked disk.  Associated  with each directory is a set of key words.  When the appropriate project  is selected, I invoke Bridge to open that directory, possibly with a  specific images as the "starting image" for that project.  Since the  master cache files are split (to accomodate the 500,000 max image count  supported by bridge), it would be excellent if I can pass a reference to  the specific master cache associated with that directory.
    A second value of this option would allow the user to create desk-top short-cuts to invoke bridge using an appropriate cache structure.  For example, the properties of one short cut could specify the cache file for the current daily use of the Bridge to process images in progress.  A second could point the the cache associated with the historical first 400,000 image archived on the network, and a third could invoke bridge pointing to the cache for the next 400,000 image cache - or whatever grouping the user needs to match his workflow when using Bridge as the central focus for various digital assets..
    This type of processing allows the user to conveniently invoke bridge according the the needed work flow when multiple cache systems are required.  In addition, the multiple desk-top shortcuts would minimize the "error" of having bridge pointed, by accident/neglect, to the incorrect cache structure.
    It would also be valuable to allow the user to display the current number of actual image items in a cache system - either as a "view" or "tools" option.  This would allow the user to know when it is time to start a new master cache system. Of course, this can be intependently viewed in windows explorer by the count of files in the 1024 or 256 directories - however maybe the cache structure already "knows" this number instantly.  Other statistics could be interesting as well - possibly the number of directories known to the cache (possibly the same as the count of directories within the 1024 or 256 directories). Possibly the number of files cached by file type (jpg, tif, psd, cr2, nef, etc) would be of interest to some folks - however, such things should be user-selectable since such analysis might be time intensive and maybe of no interest.
    Of course, I do not know if this is consistent with other uses of Bridge - this request is made based upon my use of Bridge as a still photographer and a few videos I have created.
    thank you....

    I'm going to be technical for a minute, just for the Forum archives...
    The Library file location is stored in your "iTunes Prefs.xml" file in<pre>%APPDATA%Apple ComputeriTunes</pre>.
    Actually, I should say that if you are using a non-default location, there is a key for "iTunes Library Location:1", e.g.:
    <key>iTunes Library Location:1</key>
    <data>
    QwA6AFwARABvAGMAdQBtAGUAbgB0AHMAIABhAG4AZAAgAFMAZQB0AHQAaQBu
    AGcAcwBcAFQAZQByAGkAZABvAG4AXABNAHkAIABEAG8AYwB1AG0AZQBuAHQA
    cwBcAE0AeQAgAE0AdQBzAGkAYwBcAHQAZQBzAHQAbABpAGIAcgBhAHIAeQA=
    </data>
    The "data" is a base64-encoded UTF16-LE string that is the folder containing the "iTunes Library.itl" file and "Album Artwork" folder. In the above case:<pre>C:Documents and SettingsTeridonMy DocumentsMy Music     estlibrary</pre>
    The key/data pair does not exist if you're using the default Library location.
    Similary, there is a key/value pair for "iTunes Library XML Location:1" -- except this part always appears, even if you are using the default location. Also, it is the full path to the file itself, not just the directory containing it. e.g.:<pre>C:Documents and SettingsTeridonMy DocumentsMy Music     estlibraryiTunes Library.xml</pre>
    Since it doesn't appear that double-clicking on the Library file you want to open works, I'm guessing the only way to swap locations is to edit the preferences file -- either directly, or with a script/program. I could probably write such a program in a 1/2 hour or so... I might just do that right now.

  • 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

    I tried to do the instructions Adobe gave me but when

    C when it restarts it takes me to the screen to do a
    fresh install.
    At that point go to the Menu & select Disk Utility - I can't remember exactly which menu but you should be able to find it easily... there isn't too much there
    I went into the disk utility through the Apps folder
    and for somereason the option to repair isnt
    highlighted and it wont let me click it. I tried to
    repair permissions/verify but it doesnt change
    anything. I looked at the info and it says the volume
    can be repaired, but it wont let me.
    You can't Repair the disk the system is currently running the OS from - That's why you have to boot from the Installer disk (or some other start-up disk). Repair Disk addresses directory structure issues - totally separate from what Repair Permissions does.

  • How can I delete the contents in Cache.Trash folder (not the normal Cache folder)?

    Recently, I keep receiving notice of "Hard Disk is Full - You have run out of disk space on drive C. To free space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click Disk Clean-up". But after I removed a substantial sizes of files to another drive, in a short while, the notice reappear again. I was puzzled and take a check on the files and folders in drive C and realized the problem came from those unknown files in the folder named Cache.Trash (not the normal Cache folder although they are located side by side). Some files sizes are shockingly large ranging from 2GB to 5GB. They have strange and difficult to identify File Name and File Types. When I checked the Properties of those files, they have unknown MS-DOS name, Created, Modified and Accessed dates. When I tried to delete those files directly, a notice of "Error Deleting File: Cannot delete file: File system error (1026)" appeared. Note: There are still many Free Space available in other disk drives. Any idea please?

    There is no session crash here. On others start, the Cache.Trash folder and its contents still there. When a ScanDisk program is performed, after some time, a notice appeared, "ScanDisk has restarted 10 times because Windows or another program has been writing to this drive. Quitting some running programs may enable ScanDisk to finish sooner. Do you want to continue receiving this warning?" So I closed any other running application and program and restart the ScanDisk program again. After some time, the notice appeared again. I clicked No to indicate do not want to continue receiving this warning and the program keep repeating running.....how long will the program take?

  • Bridge Rebuilding Cache on External Drive Unnecessarily – How Can I Stop It ?

    I have Bridge CS4 on a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Connected to the laptop is a Firewire hard-drive on which I am storing my images.
    For some unknown reason, and only from time-to-time, Bridge wants to rebuild the entire cache in any given folder.
    For example, last night I added some new RAW files to a folder, waited until Bridge had added them to the cache cache before closing down.  So the cahche was complete.  This morning Bridge is rebuilding the entire cache to the folder (as I write)  – for ALL the RAW files – thumbnails, previews, and full size extractions.  As you can imagine, with a folder containing hundreds of images, this is very tedious; also the hard-drive and laptop get very hot and bothered.
    Note:  the above is only an example, and the rebuilding appears to occur at any time and under any circumstances (but only when Bridge opens a folder previously cached).  BTW this doesn't happen on the Mac's internal drive.
    Now, I have selected the 'Authomatically Export Cache To Folders When Possible' option in the Preferences, and checked that the cache file is present in the folder (it is), so this shouldn't – in theory – happen.
    Can anyone shed any light on why Bridge keeps rebulding the cache to the external drive, and what I might be able to do to stop it ?

    Curt, thanks for your reply.
    Tons of disk space !  And the cache is not very large – 130Mb.
    Permissions (!??!) – therein lies a ‘mares nest’* of possibilities…
    The powering-up/recognition may be something to do with it.  I will monitor this and see if I can spot a pattern.
    Many thanks for your suggestions.  I will report back in due course.

  • Bridge CC cache not compatible with bridge CS6

    Starting the Photoshop CC adventure. First install was Bridge. First test was to see if the Bridge CC cache is compatible with Bridge CS6 cache. First result is NO.
      Test method:
      1. Set the Bridge CC cache location to the same folder I use for CS6, which contains 10+ gigs of thumbs for my library.
      2. Navigated Bridge CC to a sub-folder with about 30 images, see Bridge CC re-do the thumb extractions.
      3. Close Bridge CC, launch Bridge CS6, navigate to the same sub-folder, see Bridge CS6 re-do the thumb extractions.
      4. Close Bridge CS6, launch Bridge CC, still pointing to the same sub-folder, see it re-do thumb extractions again.
      5. Repeat steps 3&4, always with same result, a redundant re-generation of thumbs.
      Conclusion:
      The actual thumbnail files in the cache are the same. But something happens in the index files (data/store) to make each version think it does not have thumbnails, so it re-generates them. IOW, when Bridge CC looks at the cache last used by Bridge CS6 it says "I have not been here, must re-cache", and visa-versa.
      Solution:
      Must let Bridge CC have its own separate cache, so the two versions don't walk over each other. Must let Bridge CC re-cache everything, which for me (and most users I assume) will be a long and time consuming process.
      Not much surprise here. The same was true for CS5 vs. CS6.

      Not much surprise here. The same was true for CS5 vs. CS6.
    Then it also should not be a surprise for you that this behavior already started in the Filebrowser (Bridge predecessor that came with CS1 and by far the most stable and fast cache ever in the history of Bridge) and has not changed since. Nor is it likely it will chance in the future.
    Hence my advice to not use Bridge for long term DAM because you need to recache the lot every new version...

  • With Netscape all of the Webcam shots from live feeds were automatically saved in my cache folder and I could simply open my cache send the saved files into AcDsee and convert them into jpgs, It would save as many as I would allow space for. With firefox

    I cant retrieve my images from webcams that are cached any more with mozilla. With netscape all of the live webcam images from live cams were automatically saved in my cache folder and all i had to do was open it send the files to acdsee and turn them into jpgs. It would save them untill the Cache ran out of room no matter how many files or sites I had running. Mozilla seems to save what it wants when it wants and often dose not save any that I can retrieve because I believe it is bulking them into Cache 123 or 4 and those i cant open to retrieve the files. Sometimes it saves 100 or so and sometimes 2 or 3 sometimes 10 or more but i don't seem to have any control over what it does or does not save to retrieve no matter how much space i allow for the cache to save.
