Bridge thumbnails & preview no longer indicates the edit.

For images shot and edited yesterday and today, both the thumbnail image in the Content Pane and the Preview image no longer show any indication of the edit. The Preview thumbnail does, however, show the edit symbol in the upper right hand corner. This happens only to XMP files, and only those shot and edited yesterday and today. All previous files, even when edited today, respond normally. All files saved as DNG, whether shot or edited today or not, also appear normal (thumbnails and preview showing the edit).
I've gone to Bridge Preeferences and Purged Cache. I have "Automatically export cache to folders…" checked. The problem is only with those XMP files shot and edited yesterday or today.
I use with a Fuji X-E1 and a Panasonic G-1, am using Photoshop CS6, a MacPro on 10.6.8., and editing on RAW 7.4.0.137.

Instead of going to the global Purge Cache command in Bridge Preferences, try purging the cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu > Cache > Purge Cache for Folder "xxxx".
That global purge command in preferences has given me grief since the earliest versions of Bridge, in that the Cache does not rebuild properly after using it,

CS5 Bridge thumbnail previews suddenly stopped working

My Bridge very suddenly stopped displaying thumbnail previews - it only displays the default file type icon.
I have spent a lot of time googling this and have tried the following:
Clearing the cache
Updating Bridge and assorted Abode Products
Resetting Bridge to factory settings
Nothing has made any difference. I need the thumbnail previews for Bridge to be useful to me. Any help is highly appreciated.
I'm running CS5 on OSX Mavericks (10.9.1). Thanks!

Every file type (DNG, JPG, CR2, etc) except for PSD, but PSD looks distorted. It's all images, old and new, including ones I could preview perfectly before whatever happened happened. Thanks for responding!
Edit: Okay, so I did more digging and for some reason it shows TIF files, but nothing else.
Also, I am trying to view our photo library over our network, none of these files are on my local HD.

I can log in to my wordpress site or rather I can get into the back end of my site but I can no longer see the edit button on Firefox

I use firefox 24 and it was working fine up until last weekend then I could no longer see the edit button on my wordpress site.
The thing is that I can get into my site via the site-wp-admin url as cookies allow me to do so but once I click on visit site then I cannot do anything because there are no edit buttons and not a log in button either so I do not even have the option of trying and failing or succeeding.
It is quite puzzling as it happened just recently.
I now have to use chrome to do all my editing since there is no problems on that browser

Let me start with the general advise...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

No change in Bridge thumbnail preview after Camera Raw adjustment

Thumbnail previews in Bridge CS4 do not reflect changes after adjustments are made in Camera Raw.
It used to be fine and now nothing changes after clicking done in Camera Raw.

First go to the menu tools / cache and choose purge cache for folder. If
this does not work restart Bridge holding down option and choose refresh
preferences. After this reset preferences again to your wishes and try
again.

I would like the ability to save a thumbnail preview for use by the OS on image export.

Hello,
I have been using Lightroom for about three years and one of the many features I would like to see is the ability to save a thumbnail for the image while exporting an image. This is an option available in other leading software, and also happens when you save an image in Photoshop. It isn't a huge issue when using a Mac because you have the option for the finder to force an image preview. It is however an issue when your client uses Windows since the OS doesn't allow the user to force a thumbnail preview.
The client is king, especially with the economy and market the way that it is. If the client wants thumbnails on their images in their OS, the photographer needs to be able to deliver. I don't expect myself or any other photographer to have to open files in Photoshop and save them to force a thumbnail for the image.
This software is in no way as expensive as Photoshop and it does have amazing features, but it is also not cheap and is intended for working professionals.

Your original links were ok, two JPGs and one PNG. BTW,the resizing wasn't necessary because the warning about it is only for viewing the photo in the message. You can always click on the photo and see the full-sized version, as long as it doesn't exceed the filesize limit, of course.
On my Windows 7, both JPGs show a Windows Picture Viewer program icon when set to the default settings, and both JPGs show a thumbnail icon when the icon-size is increased. This is a function of Windows, not the contents of the files, as far as I can tell.
No thumbnail Icons using the default view:
Thumbnail icons when switching to the next larger sized icons:
On the Mac the two images act differently, but you're asking for Mac-specific things to occur, and Adobe may choose to not do it based on it not being different on Windows.
For what Windows scenario does the PS-saved JPG show a thumbnail-icon instead of a program-icon when the LR-saved one shows only the program icon. I'm not asking about the Mac where your screenshot shows the difference, I'm asking about Windows. Is it only when you e-mail pictures or is it on the customer's hard-drive, somehow, and what is the customer using the view the images?

I no longer get the "edit this bookmark" box when click on the gold star

Using Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows XP professional, version 5.1.2600 service pack 3, build 2600. Have "Unsorted Bookmarks Folder Menu" add-on installed, working fine, but 4 days ago clicking on the star icon to edit an existing bookmark stopped working. Hovering over the gold star still gives the pop up message "edit this bookmark" - but when I click on it, nothing happens, the edit bookmark box does not appear. Also, the "Options" button for the "Unsorted Bookmarks Folder Menu" add-on is greyed out, so no luck with trying to fix it from there.

i tried this idea even tho on my main pc Mcafee SA does not cause the problem. on the laptop it has just happened and i have removed and re-installed firefox to no avail. any other ideas please?

Why does it take so long for the editing process to take effect?

I edited 7 pictures an hour ago & they still are showing as "editing in progress in organizer an hour later.
Would appreciate your help. Thanks

The message 'Edit in progress' simply means the files are still open in the editor. If you close them in the editor, the message should disappear.

Tiny EPS thumbnails/previews

Just downloaded a bunch of EPS clipart from clipart.com. Previewing in Bridge CS3 (2.1.1.9). Some preview and thumbnail properly, some show only tiny thumbnails and a similar size preview. Made sure high-quality thumbnails in the Preferences, also purged the cache, but still the same problem.
Can anyone explain why this is happening? A solution would be even better.

Well, Photoshop does offer the ability to choose not to save thumbnails/previews... Check Edit - Preferences - File Handling. What's your setting?

Thumbnails/Previews not showing on tiffs viewed on Mac

I have a client who is asking me why the tiffs I'm supplying him with don't have thumbnails/previews. He's working an a Mac and has had to resave the files in order to create previews. I haven't been able to answer his question. Any takers? TIA. PShop CS4 / Windows XP.

Strange thumbnail/preview generation

Today Bridge ( cs4 ) decided on his own to recreate the thumbnail and preview cache . Now some pictures have
blown highlights and look horrible - nothing to do with the previews I had before this improvised cache renewal .
I tried to purge it again but it still creates the same washed previews . If I open a file in preview , quicklook or photoshop everything is ok , it's only
the bridge thumbnail/preview that looks wrong . PSD files aren't concerned by the problem , only .jpgs

Hi Ann,
Thanks for your reply. Do you know if there is somewhere this can be logged as a feature request?
It does seem styrange as other NLE's I have used in the past, always retain thumbnail previews between the restarts of the NLE application.

Thumbnail previews don't work. CS5 / G5

What happened to the thumbnail previews?!! They don't work anymore and it really slows the workflow down...a lot!
Now you have to open up every file to see what it is.
Please Adobe, tell me there's a fix!

Bob,
What in the world are you smoking? Please read again.
The thumbnail previews are the little images that you see in 'finder' when you click on a file without opening it. They show you a miniature preview image (thumbnail) of the file.
Example: If you are in Indesign and you want to place an illustrator file into your layout, you would click on your frame and hit 'Apple D' and then locate the file you want from a relevant folder. I used to be able to use the thumbnail previews to help locate the file I needed. Now this function doesn't work and I have do trial by error. Which obviously takes much longer and slows the work flow down.
This happened after installing CS5. Not sure why or what's causing it exactly but it's a big deal.
Looking for a fix (not from smoking).

Layer Thumbnail Preview Problems CS4

I recently started having an issue with the layer thumbnails. In the past, when I would create a new shape (with the rectangle tool for instance) the layer thumbnail preview would look like the first image I've inserted. Now when I create a new shape with the same tool (in a new file) I get a layer thumbnail preview like the second image. All the panel options are the same, so it isn't the thumbnail size setting under panel options. I prefer the thumbnail preview from image 1. I am creating documents that many people will be using (most have basic photoshop skills) so the preview from image 1 is much easier to use and understand. Any help with this situation would be much appreciated, as I cannot figure out what back end setting has changed?

Thanks! They are exactly the same in every way. I think I've figured it out. It seems the layer preview is based on the size of the file or document. For instance, the problem started when I created a business card file sized at 3.75" wide by 2.25" high. Don't know what the magic number is, but when I created a file sized at 5" by 5" square, the layer thumbnail preview looks the way I want it to (image 1). It's strange, but it looks like I'm going to have to live with it when creating file sizes like this...

Preview with light or shade editing function is not working (black or white picture)

Hello!
I have a problem with the preview function in iphoto (version 9.4.2 on a white macbook, mid 2007, os x lion, latest version, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD).
Whenever I use the light or shade editing function, the picture in the preview is getting completely black or white. If I close the editing screen, the normal preview is working with the edited picture.
I repaired the iphoto library, I tried to reinstall iphoto, I did a SMC reset but nothing worked. Yesterday, reinstalled my complete system and reinstalled iphoto but even this did not work.
Has anybody an idea how to deal with this problem? Is there a kind of BIOS funktion to activate or to deactivate like graphics boost or something like that? It would be great if anyone has an idea because editing photos efficiently is hard with my problem.
Thank you very much!

On the contrary, or at least I think so. If I remember it correctly, you can simply go to the top menu bar and click 'Photo', 'Edit in', 'Edit in Adobe Photoshop' and it will put your panorama in Photoshop so you can simply continue working on it. Hope it does the trick!

The thumbnails/previews of PDFs created in InDesign CC look dull or cloudy in Bridge CC

The thumbnails/previews of PDFs created in InDesign CC look dull or cloudy in Bridge CC. The actual files are fine and open with the correct rich colors, but the colors don't look as vibrant as they should when viewing in Bridge. It's only PDFs that are affected. The InDesign thumbnails/previews display correctly in Bridge.
This was not happening when I was using CS6. This is only a problem since the upgrade to CC.
Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you're going to mess with the registry
- create a restore point http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ie/windows7/create-a-restore-point
- backup the registry http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/back-up-registry
I absolutely plead with all my heart - don't start changing registry entries unless you know what you're doing - or ask your IT department to take a look.
If you don't have an IT department, then source a good professional that can make these changes.
If any way unsure - then under any circumstances, - do not mess with the registry.

Bridge CS6 Previews of raw-files have bad (pixelated) quality after editing.

I'm having problems with using Bridge for browsing my pictures. Preview quality of edited raw (nef) files is terrible. It looks like a very low quality jpeg. The untouched NEF's are fine, and saving the edited NEF as PSD also gives a perfect preview.
Purging Cache doesn't work.
I'm using:
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.2.4 x64
Camera Raw 7.3.0.71
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 x64
2x Monitor 1920 x 1200
Photo's made with Nikon D800E (7360 x 4912 px)
See screenshots of settings. Any Suggestions?

What I find frustrating is:
1. Raw previews look like crap compared to the file itself.
2. Its possible to generate decent previews by a complicated purging-process.
I can imagine you are frustrated.
There are two differences on my set up so I can't check, first I use a Mac and you are on Windows and I use Canon and you Nikon.
However it should not result in this much visible flaws in the preview.
There can be a lot of cache files but Camera Raw Cache is something completely different then Bridge Cache.
Camera Raw is a .dat file and contains some info from the raw settings and probably other stuff that I can't find, it states being a video file but you can't play them.
Bridge cache are jpeg files that you can view, even without Bridge, for example they can be opened in PS itself without problems.
If you have set to build all at 100% then it will generate jpeg files in the original size at a high quality jpeg setting.
As said, I have a Mac but Yammer or Curt can provide you with the correct path to find the Bridge Cache folder yourself.
On my System this is in the user Library / caches/ Adobe/ Bridge CS6 and inhere is a folder called cache. This folder contains 4 folders.
- 256 : contains the thumbnails, very small files (in the range of 10 to 50 kb)
- 1024 : contains the HQ previews, relatively large files (500 KB to 3 MB, depending on the files itself)
- data : a text file containing all sorts of info, don't know what exactly but is a text file that also can grow to several 100 MB
- Full : in here are the 100 % previews settled and they can grow to huge proportions ( around 10 MB for 18 MP files, depending on file size and content etc)
If you have set to keep 100 % previews in Bridge prefs this last folder (full) will be taking a lot of space on your disk
If you also have set to export cache to folder it creates same size (hidden) files with this cache in the folder itself.
I never understood the need for export cache to folders for several reasons, first and most important, I had a longstanding bug preventing me from doing so (error message about overwriting a CacheT file) but also each version of Bridge has a different Cache format and you can't read older cache files. Also reading the cache file (especially when on DVD etc) takes a very long time. For purpose of needing to view archived files on external devices you better select the 'Prefer Embedded' option, works faster ten reading earlier exported cache.
Not sure how you did purge the Bridge Cache but in your case I would Quit Bridge and find the equivalent Cache folder on Windows (Yammer, Curt?).
manual delete this Cache folder with all its content and restart Bridge.
This provides you with a new, fresh but very empty cache file. You need to recache the lot for the previews.
If you are not sure just try it for experiment, move the old folder outside the library and try it. If it does not make any difference just Quit and replace the old file
