Mini Bridge isn't showing thumbnails

Hi.
Everything with Photoshop and Bridge CS5 is working super accept for the mini bridge ???
It just shows "waiting for Bridge CS5" all the time and nothing ever happen and everything
else is working perfect i think.
Running iMac 27" i5, 8GB of Ram, Mac OS X 10.6.3 and a
Macbook Pro 15" 2.8Ghz, 4GB of Ram, Mac OS X 10.5.8, same with both.
I checked all the maintenance stuff you can do for fixing but nothing helped.
Anyone have this problem ?
Thanks.

Just found out I have this problem today.  I suspect it might have something to do with the updates I installed this morning.  I can't remember exactly what they were but there was one each for Bridge and Photoshop (CS5).  Previously I haven't had an issue with Mini Bridge at all but I don't use Photoshop on a daily basis.  Now I find anything to do with Mini Bridge locks up Photoshop and I have to force quit it.  Photoshop works OK as long as I don't use Mini Bridge.

    Do you mean it is solved now or is the problem existing?
    And what version of Bridge and PS are you using on what OSX version?

  • I have Bridge to go with my Photoshop and Lightroom but Mini Bridge isn't there

    I recently added Photoshop to my CC for a class that I am taking and added Bridge. In the course text it shows that Mini Bridge should be available but it isn't. What is the issue and am I doing something wrong?

    there is no more mini-bridge.  you have older text.

  • Mini Bridge doesn't show at bottom of work space

    CS6 does not show Mini Bridge in bottom left corner. Opens as separate program. Is this right?

  • Bridge CC stopped showing thumbnails, does not expand at triangles

    Hello community
    -- three days ago Bridge doesn't let me open all triangles at folder's tab anymore, sometimes more, sometimes less
    -- plus when being at a folder that cannot expand anymore and Bridge should display the thumbnails of files, it doesn't build up the view
    -- sometimes after quitting/relaunching Bridge I got dialog box about some loadup scripts probs and that I should try to purge the central cache at Prefs (I've done so twice, problem persists)
    (no changes on my Mac OS System 10.9.5 or any CC product;, CC and CC 2014 products always updated to latest versions)
    -- workaround now is to look for the files in finder, which is tedious as I cannot automate, label, etc and more annoying and therefore I would ask for immediate help: how can I open RAW files in PS without being able to select a bunch in Bridge?
    bye,

    …(Still I'd be interested in to know how pictures could be opened in Camera Raw without having to select them in Bridge first)
    You can open them through Photoshop > File >Open, or by double-clicking on the file icon in the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer.
    But that's really what Bridge is for.  Originally, Bridge was called simply Photoshop File Browser.

  • Photoshop won't open my raw files and Bridge won't show thumbnails

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble with my Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 on my Mac. It's been working fine until a few days ago, but now the image thumbnails won't load in Bridge, and I'm not able to open RAW-files in Photoshop (same thing happens when opening both from Bridge or in Finder).
    When trying to open the files in Photoshop a pop up message shows up saying this:
    "Photoshop cannot open this file.
    If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates.
    If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111"
    I'm not able to click on updates, so that won't help me much. What can I do to get it back to normal again?

    I do not use a Mac but Windows as delivered from Microsoft does not generate Thumbnails for RAW files or even Photoshop Files like PSD  in order to seen the in Windows UI like Windows File Explore (Mac Finder) or in File Open and selection Dialog one needs to install some windows add on.  I use FastPictureViered Codec Package,  When installed on Windows I can have the thumbnails your looking for.  Perhaps You need some Mac add on or Apple Update the see thumbnails for RAW files. I see things like this on the web Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06

  • Auto Scaling thumbs in Mini Bridge really necessary?

    I would expect that opening up Mini Bridge would simply show more thumbs rather than automatically scaling 1 or 2 as big as possible.
    How is this useful? And how is it not annoying?
    I wish Mini bridge had a Scale Slider like its big brother has.
    Don't think I'm gonna have this panel open at all when I get CS6.

    This was the discussion where it was stated as design rather than bug:

  • Bridge does not show image previews anymore on one of my drives

    Bridge isn't showing image previews on one of my drives. I have tried resetting the preferences as well as deleting the cache to no avail.

    I don't believe so, because it operates as expected in finder. It's only bridge that doesn't seem to want to create the thumbnails. I went to the thread you posted, Robert, but unfortunately I'm not on Windows and don't see any "online" or "offline" options.

  • Mini Bridge Missing from InDesign CS6 after Upgrade to InDesign Version 8.1

    I discussed this same problem https://forums.adobe.com/message/5833991 after upgrading to the prior version 8.0.2 of InDesign.
    After upgrading to InDesign Version 8.1, Mini Bridge no longer works.  Mini Bridge does not show under the Window menu and shift-clicking the Bridge icon opens the full Bridge, not Mini Bridge.
    With the prior version 8.0.2 problem, I was able to recover Mini Bridge by doing a re-install of InDesign under Window's Safe Mode.  Microsoft has somehow changed Safe Mode and I can no longer do the reinstall using Safe Mode.  I have tried several different ways of reinstalling version 8.1, but none of them correct this problem.  Still no Mini Bridge.
    Mini Bridge does work in Photoshop CS6 with no problem.
    I have read through all of the messages that seem to relate to this problem in this forum, but none of the suggested solutions work for me.
    Can anyone provide me with an answer?  If not, how do I get help from Adobe?  I am willing to pay for support, if necessary.

    RESOLVED - I can't believe it, but I have actually figured this out.
    Getting frustrated with going in circles, I decided to dig into security options.  First off, I opened Windows' Properties for the start-up icon for InDesign.  Right off, I noticed under the Compatibility tab that InDesign was set to run in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3).  This did not seem right, so I turned off the option to run in Compatibility Mode and re-started up InDesign.  Low and behold, the option Window | Mini Bridge was now displayed!  And it worked!
    Sorry to have bothered you gentlemen with this problem.  I really appreciate your assistance!

  • Mini-bridge CS6 : impossible to show thumbnails

    Impossible to show thumbnails in mini-bridge.
    This bar which was in CS5 is missing in CS6
    Therefore you cannot neither show nor change dimensions of the thumbnails.
    Reynold Jaquet

    But they do auto-resize as you change the height of mini-bridge, so on my PC I can see sixteen thumbnails when mini-bridge is at its smallest:
    Large:
    Small:

  • Why isn't adobe mini bridge showing up in photoshop?

    I can't find mini bridge in the file drop down menu. Anyone know why?

    If it's Photoshop CC 2014, it has been removed. You'll need Photoshop CC if you still want it.
    Here's why:

  • CS6 Mini Bridge - Thumbnail size and preview

    I've just upgraded to CS6 (design & web premium) and was setting up my workspace in InDesign, and after adding (docking) Mini Bridge there seems to be no preview or anyway to change the size of the thumbnails I can view.
    I use Mini Bridge a lot as we have folders that include 100+ assets in, and it's good to see a small thumbnail to quick scan, then to click on it to see more detail.  Now all I can see is a maximum of 6 thumbnails, which means I will need to scroll a lot to find anything.
    I've read the following topic from the PS CS6 Beta forum (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4286375#4286375#4286375), and was wondering if this "as designed" thinking has been rolled over to  InDesign, meaning that in order to  change the thumbnail size (with no preview), I have to have Mini Bridge undocked and if I want to see more detail, I have to enlarge the thumbnail, then reduce again to carry on searching?
    If so, it seems like a massive oversight, as InDesign is a layout tool and having easy access to multiple documents to include (and to see what they are) is vital, which isn't helped by the seemingly arcane way to access folders.
    Hopefully this is me just being a bit dim and missing something obvious, otherwise it's going to cause a lot of hassle in my day to day work.
    If anyone has a definitive answer, that would be great.
    Cheers.

    Adobe needs to realize that if "as designed" results in users thinking it's a bug or otherwise not useful — then it's a bad design choice and should be revised. They need to leave options in place for people that don't agree with some of their "new" aka bad ideas.
    Assuming users don't want to use Mini Bridge vertically is just ridiculous — especially since you can't dock it to the bottom in InDesign like you can in Photoshop.
    And not showing folders in the thumbnail view is most unintuative thing to do here. If it's a Mini Bridge, why doesn't it behave like bridge and at least have a check box for filtering out folders or something.
    Mini Bridge is kind of useless now.

  • Mini bridge - show open files?

    when bridge was first born as file browser, and integrated into PS did it have the ability of displaying the open files in PS? 
    I'm "kinda" hoping that a bunch of people are going to jump all over this conversation and say... of course it can do it now!
    I'm very old-school and don't like the tabbed windows interface, I'm generally tossing layers around and windows are easier for me, but.... I could see that this would have some use if I was using a smaller display and if I could also use mini bridge to show thumbnails of the open files and use this to switch tabbed images. Or, if I could drag layers onto the thumbnail in Mini Bridge and subsequently bring that tabbed image to front.

    I needed to set the file type association in preferences.
