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 thumbnails-cs6

Is there a way to change the size of the thumbnails in mini bridge without resizing the panel?
Both on windows 8cp 32 bit.

Very cool! Thanks!!
Deke McClelland does mention in the CS6 videos that in the docked position,the thumbnail size is adjustable by dragging the Mini Bridge frame.
I guess that's how the docked Mini Bridge is supposed to work.

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:

Mini bridge in ID CS 6 - control for size of thumbnail, bottom of pane, missing

Mini bridge in ID CS 6 is of course essential.
Suddenly, the little control at the bottom of the Mini bridge pane, for control of thumbnail size, is missing. See screen shot of the control here, when we can get it by (laboriously) re-starting.
As soon as we do anything with the Mini bridge pane, the control disappears. Then we only see large-size thumbnails. (We are forced to go through a restart to get again, then it disappears again, then …) Which makes it more than difficult to find what we need, among the many.
We hope someone has previously solved this problem. Or that Adobe support knows the problem, and resolution.
Thanks in advance, David Allen

It is indeed possible. From the Layer Flyout Menu:
But thank you anyway...

Mini bridge in CS6 Photoshop displaying grey thumbnails

Hello,
I"m on a MAC platform and working with CS6 Photoshop with minibridge (thumbnails preview at the bottom). When I preview the images, the thumbnails are all grey.
Does anyone has an answer to switch back to normal view.
Thanks!
sntm

Hello,
Thank you for replying to this discussion. The grey thumbnail preview occurs only in minibridge when I launched Photoshop CS6, not the case with the regular bridge. I can preview thumbnails with images in the regular bridge. Nonetheless, I've tried purging cache but to no avail, grey thumbnails still displaying in the mini bridge.
Thanks,

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.

Photoshop CS6: Mini Bridge's Reveal in Bridge clears Bridge Filter list

I have Bridge CS6's Filter List set to reveal jpegs,PSDs,PNGs,and Tiff files,because those are the common file types I open in Photoshop. I even turn on "Keep Filter when browsing",so I do not have to repeat in each folder.
Then later I will be in Photoshop using the handy mini-bridge. I move to a folder and decide to use the Reveal in Bridge button for a certain image. Clicking on that image does indeed reveal it in Bridge,but it also turns off all my filter selections and I have to set them again.
Any fix for this?

Mini Bridge went Gray

My mini bridge, which worked just fine yesterday, has gone gray on me. The file names appear but the thumbnail is just a gray box. Does anyone know what may have caused this. No changes have taken place on the computer in the last 24 hours. I restarted both Bridge and Photoshop but problem persists. Thanks in advance.

I am using PS CS6
Imac X 10.8.2

It shows it for me (below). But did you notice that the folders aren't mixed in with the pictures in the Picture folder. They appears in a list on the left as shown.
If you're not seeing that, try restoring your InDesign preferences and/or your Bridge preferences. For InDesign use this method:
Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences
For Bridge, quit out of the application. Launch it, and hold down Cmd + Shift + Option immediately after launch until you're asked to restore preferences.

Bridge cashe fail while in mini bridge mode.

bridge cashe fails when opeing and I purge it but the message returns each time while in mini bridge mode.Also it has stopped displaying thumbnails it mini bridge. Any ideas?? The full message is 'Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cashe. Please try purging the central cashe in cashe preferences th correct the situation." This doesnot correct the situation. I recently uninstalled my CS5.1. Might that be an issue. I reinstalled it to no avail. thanks, Uhane
More info
Bridge CS6 no longer can find the cashe to update at all and will not quit on it's own I have to force quit the app.. Nor does it update changes in mini bridge. It is static. It does not show any new changes to files since this AM. It seems to not be able to find the cashe to update.. I have purged the cashe many times since and the more I do it the worse it becomes and the more I get the message that I have to do so. I really don't want to have to reinstall yet again. Is there a corrupt file path somewhere? Or can it not get to an open port for some reason. This problem is a rather sudden one. thanks, Uhane.
Thhis is the message I receive when I open bridge siince this AM.
Message was edited by: uhanepono

To summarize so there are not a lot of repeating motifs.
••I ran CS5 and had CS6 on my system and had no problem.
••I unistalled CS5 using the adobe unistaller.
••Bridge began to not be able to find the user cashe after that and crashed upon loading the folders lib.
••CS6 worked fine but I could not use the mini bridge nor the bridge proper.
••I unistalled CS6 and reinstalled it. Still had the same problem.
••Used the script cleaner mentioned earlier in thsi thread on CS6, there being no CS5 listed.
••And then, of course, reinstalled CS6 AGAin.
••Still the problem persisted.
••I went into the user lib and hand deleted everything I could find for CS5. and then I reistalled for the 4 th time CS6, using the adobe unistaller. And still the problem persists.
••went the adobe script cleaner log report console to see there were no errors nor fails and there were none reported and showed a clean unistall.
So that is the history so far.
and here again is the screen shot of the message In receive upon opening bridge CS6.
well .... the uploader is not greyed out at the moment.. see the screen shot in entry 6 of this thread, thanks
THanks to everyone for your help, the opt/launch/reset. trick worked with me only having to detete the specified cashe. thanks again, Aloha, Uhane

Mini Bridge not working in CS5

I cannot get Mini Bridge to work in Photoshop CS5. When I try to start it, the panel opens and the spinning symbol starts but I get the message "Waiting for Bridge CS5..." and it never makes it past that. I have tried both with Bridge already open and Bridge closed, no difference. "Start Bridge at logon" is checked in preferences. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
Try the solutions listed in the following tech note:

If you're still unable to get it working, let me know and I'll try to troubleshoot further.

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:

Are Bridge and Mini Bridge and Camera Raw part of PS?

1.) Are Bridge and Mini Bridge and Camera Raw part of PS? OR do they also come with other programs in the Adobe software suite?
2.) What is the difference between Bridge and Mini Bridge?
Thanks.

1.) The Bridge application is included in the Photoshop installer, as well as some other Adobe products.(more info: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/bridge/?promoid=GWELP). The Mini Bridge extension is only included in Photoshop CS5, and InDesign CS5. The Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in is shared by Photoshop, and Bridge (and is also found in Photoshop Elements).
2.) Bridge is a separate application, whereas Mini Bridge is a panel that's hosted by the Photoshop or InDesign application. Bridge has a fuller feature set than Mini Bridge and can be used by itself. Mini Bridge needs Bridge to create thumbnails, keep files synchronized, and perform other tasks, but operates in the context of the Ps or ID host application (ie. drag/drop multiple assets into working document w/o losing document view).

Need Help finding mini bridge for PS CC Program window

I am still learning PS. I have PS & LR CC. I recently purchased Photobacks backgrounds and Templates, and Mini-Bridge looks extremely helpful in their tutorial video. What exatly is it and HOW can i get it on my PS Window? Thanks

As of CC, it no longer exists. Adobe pulled it. Sorry.
You can however, keep Bridge running (which it would have been for mini bridge to work) Then Double click on the thumbnail or drag the thumbnail to photoshop. It doesn't really take any longer to do it just does not stay in front any more.
Idea for Adobe -
Though In windows, Adobe could force bridge to stay in front if they decide to add that option. Not sure if Mac has a similar feature.
