Bridge thumbnails not updating

I am using Bridge CS6 and at some point recently my thumbnails (using "filmstrip" mode) stopped updating after I had altered my RAW images. I've tried to find something in the menus/Preferences that would cause this to happen but have had no success. My only thought is that I recently "updated" due a Creative Cloud prompt and possibly that is when they issue started. Has anyone else had or seen this and can anyone help me get back to where my thumbnails are updating? Thanks very much for any insight you can provide.

Where can I check my "thumbnail option"? I've looked in Preferences and elswhere
It is a setting you can change under the little checker icons top right in Bridge Window. Left one sets quality to Prefer Embedded, right one let's you choose more options. For best practice set it to Always HQ.

Previews in Bridge CS5 not updating with changes in Photoshop CS5

The changes I make to a file in Photoshop are not updating in the same files previewed in Bridge. The Refresh button does not make a difference. Is this to do with Cache settings or some other Preferences perhaps?
How do I make my images in Bridge become accurate representations of my files being edited in Photoshop?

I am aware of the delay in writing the cache. It only took one stuffed-up rename to make sure I was aware of that in CS3 Bridge. I use many different camera bodies and have to sort the images into Date Created order to rename them. If Bridge hasn't finished reading all the EXIF data, the images will not be in the correct order and will rename out of order.
The xmp files are all created the first time I open the RAW files in ACR to do my edit. Prior to this, they don't exist, so if I see they exist, I don't need to check their creation date. This only changes if I am editing previously edited RAW files and I don't do that often. Once is usually enough when dealing with that many files.
There shouldn't be a problem with 10,000 RAW files as the cache is set to 50GB and Adobe shows this as 500,000 files. I know that is basically JPEG files. A corrupt cache is not the same thing as corrupt RAW files, and there are several copies of the RAW files anyway as a good back-up strategy requires.
Neither of my swap files/scratch pads are on RAID drives so I doubt this is the problem. I don't recall Bridge ever using more than 25% of the CPU Resources either. It's a 32-bit program anyway and probablky won't use all four cores of the Quad-core CPU...I might be wrong there, but I haven't noticed it doing so anyway.
My WPI figures were much higher when I was running a RAID0 Boot Disc, but one disc went belly-up and I decided against a RAID primary boot disc after that.
I'm sure that there are lots of people out there with lesser-spec'd computers who are not having the same problem. Equally, I'm sure that there are others out there with the same or similar problems. I'd like to hear from them about what they have done to eliminate the problem, or are we all doing work-arounds because Adobe haven't fixed a bug. I appreciate your attempts to help with this issue Curt, so don't feel that I'm simply dismissing your suggestions. I am hopeful though that someone who uses their system and CS5 in ways similar to me might have encountered and solved this issue.

Fonts & Page Thumbnails Not Updating in PhotoBook

Is anyone else having issues with iPhoto '09 Photobooks, with page thumbnails going blank and font display in the main document not updating after the fonts are modified? I ported this book project over from iPhoto '08. Print to PDF looks fine but it's hard to work when you can't see your changes as you work. The only way I discovered to get the page thumbnails to come back was to make a modification on each page. Nothing I try, including quitting the app & restarting, seems to affect the font displayed in the document, but the PDF reflects the changes.
This is my 6th book - I thought I had the program down but now this... Are these issues possibly related to my PPC processor?

Linda,
I am having the same issue. When I change the font or font size in Settings, the changes are not reflected on the screen. I have not explanation for this. I've restarted both the program and the computer all to no avail. I'm stumped. I may try saving to PDF to see if the changes actually have taken place but are simply not displaying. This is my 6th book too, but my first with iLife'09.

Thumbnails not updating after external editing.

I noticed the thumbnails are not updating after I use an external editor. When I bring the images full screen are they are representing correctly, but when I leave full screen the thumbnail still is not the latest image.
I tried the update preview and Aperture said it they are updated, so I did an option and update preview and that corrected them, but this should be happening automatically.
I did try restarting Aperture before the doing the "option - update preview" and that had no effect.

Do you mean it is suppose to be fixed in 3.0.1? Or do I have to wait until a 3.1 comes out.
I am using 3.0.1 now and that is where I am seeing the issue.

Thumbnails not updating

I am using Photoshop cs4 on a Windows Vista PC. I shoot everything in RAW, import it into bridge as dng files and convert them in Adobe Camera Raw. Normally, once I have finished making adjustments in ACR the thumbnails update but this last few days that has stopped happening. The same goes for the previews. I get an icon on the thumbnails to show that adjustments have been made but the thumbnails remain as they did when they were imported. If I open the images again in ACR the adjustments are there. I have tried purging the cache but that makes no difference. I have forced Bridge to create new application data but that too makes no difference. This is really annoying.

Well I searched under Tools - that only gives me options for Batch Rename, Device Central, Appending or changing metadata etc, purging the cache and batch processing with Photoshop. I've also looked under Preferences but the thumbnail tab only give me options for what data I want displayed below each and an option to set a limit on the file size of an image it will handle. Mine is set to 1000mb. There is a Preferences in ACR and there was a check box that was not selected entitled 'Update Embedded Jpeg previews and a drop down box for 'Full size or Medium' . I have now checked this and selected full size and it does now appear to be working although my previews are smaller than they should be for these latest dng files. All very odd really.

Preview Thumbnails not updating.

My normal way of processing photos is to preview a folder in Bridge, from Bridge open a photo in camera raw and process it there. If I'm not using that image immediately, I simply close it when I'm finished processing. Then I'm back in Preview mode in Bridge and I can see the photograph that I processed and the changes that were made. I've been processing photos from several cameras this way for years.
However, I'm using a new camera system. Lumix GH3. When I preview and process photos from this camera, the thumbnails are never updated with the processed image. They always show the original one. Even if I close that folder and reopen it in Bridge, I still don't have a preview of the processed images. If I reopen the photo in Camera Raw or Photoshop, sure enough, I can see the changes, the photo IS processed. But those changes never show up in the preview thumbnails.
At first I thought this was the particular SD card, which was new to me and supplied by the camera store where I purchased the Lumix. But I've tried several now, all with the same result.
Any ideas??
Macbook Pro, OS 10.8.3. Bridge CS6 v5.0.1.21, Photoshop CS6, v13.0.3 x 64.

It might be cache related, for test select one of the files that did not show the updated changes and with right click mouse menu choose purge cache for selection.
But a second thought is that you don't use the latest updates for both Bridge (should be 5.0.2.4) and PS (should be 13.1.2) and this causes the troubled behavior.
And it might be the combination of both

Ap 3.1: Thumbnails not updated

Hi Forum,
After upgrading to 3.1 (which was a very good version update by the way) my thumbnails will not always update by theirselves after editing the photo. Also clicking 'Generate Thumbnails' from the menu does not help. Only repairing the database helps, after which I do not have to click Generate Thumbnails.
In my case Preview generation is off.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
Koen

This is an unacceptable, workflow blocker. Among other published improvements and fixes for v3.1 that are not showing up for me since upgrading, I too encounter "blank document" previews of my photos when importing/exporting them to/through other apps (Firefox, Safari).
note: I bought/upgraded to iLife '11 around the same time. Related?
Apple: as a senior test consultant for a major digital audio/video company it is obvious to me that some serious test coverage lapses and risk assessments were made with the release of v3.1. Please respond and resolve these issues.

Timeline thumbnails not updating.

Hi Guys i have a problem with the the thumbnail images of clips in my timeline.
I was working on a low res copy of a 10 Bit Uncompressed Pal project.
When i reconnected the media only a handful of the thumbnails updated. They still show the red offline media view even though all the clips are reconnected and play in the timeline.
I have trashed preferences tried reseting the poster frames of the clips in the browser but no avail.
Any thoughts people?
Cheers Kev

Close FCP. Trash your thumbnail cache file... you can find it by looking where it's being saved in the scratch disk settings in the bottom half of the window. Then reopen FCP... they will rebuild.

Safari Top Sites Not Updating

My Top Sites is not self-updating. I no longer get the 'star' notice when a web page has been changed and the image shown on Top Sites is from my last visit to the site.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem with the Top Sites thumbnails not updating themselves (without having to manually visit the site). It had been working, but now it has not for a couple months. I forget if it coincided with updating Safari to 4.0.5 or not; it seemed like it was right around that time.
I should also mention that my internet connection and setup have remained consistent from the time that it was working to now. I am not behind a firewall or proxy of any sort.
(Note to Jared_Dub: The blue star is shown on thumbnails that you placed there manually as opposed to your most visited pages which Safari automatically places. It has nothing to do with showing you if there have been changes to the page or not. Just thought I should clarify that point.)

Bridge - thumbnails do not update

I am running Bridge 2.1.1.9 on an iMac G5, OSX 10.4.11. When I modify an image file in Adobe Camera Raw (opened from within Bridge), the thumbnails in Bridge do not reflect the change. For example, if I crop an image and adjust the tonal values, the changes are not reflected in the thumbnails after I close ACR. I have purged the cache and also exported the cache but neither has helped.
Mark Weidman

As far as my testing, I found 2 factors are affecting:
1)'Quick Thumbnail' or 'High Quality Thumbnail'?
2)Click 'Done' or 'Save Image' button after editing in ACR?
Here are my repro steps, as far as my testing, it can 100% reproduce :
1.Reset(3 keys)/launch Bridge(CS3) and browse ACR file, like .CRW, .NEF, .dng, and etc.
Now all default settings in Bridge window, thumbnail is in 'Convert To High Quality When Previewed'. All ACR files are displayed in 'Quick Thumbnail' in Content panel.
2.Select an ACR file,
note once you select on this file in Content panel, it will switch to High Quality.
3.Open this file in ACR(via right-clicking contextual menu 'Open in Camera Raw')
4.Do some edit on this file in ACR, like Crop
Result:
1.If click 'Done', then check this file in Bridge : The file is selected in Bridge, and it can show changes in High Quality; but when purge cache, it shows as original state in Quick Thumbnail.
2.If click 'Save image' and saved as a new file1 : This file1 can show the change no matter High Quality or Quick Thumbnail.

Bridge does not show my Camera Raw Adjustments in previews or thumbnails.

Bridge CS6 on my Mac is not showing my Camera Raw adjustments in a preview pane or thumbnail.
Here's how it worked until recently:
I open a .CR2
I make some adjustments
I click "Done"
The thumbnail and the preview show the adjustments I made
Now, it works like this:
Open a .CR2
Make adjustments
Click "Done"
The preview and thumbnail don't show all the adjustments. I can't see the results of noise removal, but I can see a drastic change in Exposure
If I double-click the CR2 file, it opens in Camera Raw, and I see all my adjustments, including noise removal.
Here's what I've tried, but saw no difference (I restarted Bridge every time):
Purge Cache
Purge Cache for Selection
Replaced Camera Raw plug-in as described here: Camera Raw 8.4 | No metadata or Camera Raw edit
     (Doing so made Camera Raw disappear in Bridge, so I restored the original file)
Reset Preferences
Reset Standard Workspaces
All the above fixes were inspired by this thread: Re: Bridge CS6 not showing Camera Raw adjustments
Why don't I see the noise removal effect in the previews? I am sure I saw it a few weeks ago. I rely on that, to help me sort and cull photos.
I'm hoping there's a preference toggle that I accidentally changed. It's definitely a puzzle. (Version: Bridge CS6 5.0.1.21 5.0.2.4)
Message was edited by: moonatwork after updating Bridge version. I tried all the above fixes again, after updating Bridge. It actually got worse. I tried replacing the Camera Raw plugin, which failed as before. I then restored the previous plugin, as before, but Bridge now fails to honor the preference, "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" and instead always opens Photoshop.

Thanks, Omke. I tried updating, then applying all the same fixes to the updated version. No change.
I can attach a screenshot, but I must block out names and faces. All you'll see is my Bridge interface, not the faces in the portraits. Hope that helps.

Previews in Adobe Bridge in Essentials View do not update after manipulation in Adobe Camera Raw

When I open a RAW file in Bridge and manipulate it in ACR, the preview is not updated in Bridge Essentials View. The only way I can get it to update the preview is to open the file in "Preview" view, then it updates and looks fine in Essentials view.

Is Bridge set up to store the ACR modifications to those XMP files? Only then it can update the preview right after working on it. Else you need to refresh the preview cache.

Argh - once again, I find my solution right after posting this. Left out one modification to the SWIG script, now it runs in 29 seconds vs C 16 seconds, I can live with that.
