Missing thumbnails in Bridge-CS2

After importing from the CF card into LR 1 and processing in the Develop module, I no longer see thumbnails of NEF files in Bridge of CS2. The files open in CS2 as usual but an icon only appears in Bridge describing the file as NEF.

Is there any chance that your cache file is too small to hold all the thumbnail data? If so it could be erasing the large ones to make room for others.
Have to compacted the cache to get rid of orpan files?
Are you using quick or HQ thumbnails? If memory and speed are considerations try quick thumbs.

Displaying thumbnails in Bridge CS2

Hello, I've organized the photos from my Canon Digital Rebel XT in Adobe Bridge CS2 (Version 1.0.4.6) for years without a problem. I shoot in RAW and those files are approx. 7 MB in size. I recently received a Canon T3i and the files sizes are approx. 3 times as large and I'm having trouble getting Bridge to display a thumbnail. I can't imagine it's a file size issue since I routinely have .psd files that are 70 MB and larger that I have no trouble having Bridge display a thumbnail. The photos from both cameras are CR2. Is there a settings in Bridge I should adjust?
Any other ideas why I can't get the photos from the new camera to display as thumbnails in Bridge?
Thanks for your help :-)

The fact that they have the same extension is irrelevant. The files are fundamentally different.
The Canon T3i was supported for the first time in ACR 6.4 and later, which only run with CS5.
There is and there will be no version of ACR that will work with Bridge CS2 to open files from the T3i.
Your only option would be to use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert your raw CS2 files to raw DNGs that you can then open in CS2.
If you have an Intel Machine, you want version 6.6 of the Adobe DNG Converter. If your machine is older than the Intel Macs, e.g. any kind of Power Mac, then you need version 6.4 of the free Adobe DNG Converter, as later versions will not run on non-Intel machines.

Missing thumbnails in Bridge CS4

Can anyone explain why some of my .PSD thumbnails have gone missing from Bridge CS4? The files show as simply the PSD icon. These are large files (~200MB). If I highlight the files in a folder, right-click, and 'Purge cache for selection', the thumbnails immediately appear but then disappear one by one as the little wheel in bottom left corner of Bridge revolves and the number of full file extractions counts down. I've completely purged the cache via Bridge and in the cache folder by hand. In Bridge Preferences I've set the maximum file size at 3000MB. The odd thing is that thumbnails of similar size files disappear in some folders but not others. Some .TIF files have also disappeared. Smaller files (less than 100MB) seem ok. Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.

Missing thumbnails in Bridge

I'm running PS Elements 6 for Mac OSX under Snow Leopard. I was able to see thumbnail images in Bridge for raw images until I had to re-install Elements. Now some raw images are displayed as thumbnails whilst many more appear only as an icon which resembles a white rectangle with the top right hand corner turned in. Could someone please help rectify this problem.

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your reply. However, I have put the Camera Raw plugin
(version 5_5_1) into the Bridge CS3 plugins folder and it has made
difference whatsoever.
Do you have any other ideas? I have attached a screen grab image
showing that an example of a Raw thumbnail and the white icons.

Missing Thumbnails in CS5 bridge

I just got Photoshop CS5 and for the first time decided to use Bridge that comes with Photoshop. My problem is that Bridge doesn't show thumbnails for all my files. Some folders of images have a few thumbnails missing, other folders have a lot of thumbnails missing. One of my folders have over half of the image thumbnails missing. An icon shows up instead. I can still double click these icons to open the image in Photoshop but I can't see the image in advance of opening it. I found a whole lot of info on the adobe web site concerning thumbnails in a lot of various products. But nothing seemed to match what I'm experiencing. In fact a lot that I read leaves me more confused. Anyone else having this problem and have an answer?

90% jpg
Some NEF and some TIFF. None of those have missing thumbnails, but then I don't have very many of each.
Just got an upgrade to Bridge this morning, version 4.0.5.11. After it installed I checked for a change in the thumbnail problem. No fix.
ACR is version 6.4.1.145

CS2 + Bridge CS2 1.0.4.6 (104504) white thumbnails

Bridge CS2 displays only white thumbnails in all folders. Initial Desktop images show fine, but when changing to folders, all thumbnails are white boxes. Including when I go back to the Desktop - all thumbnails are white. Close Bridge and reopen and the Desktop thumbnails are fine again. Go to Folders, they're all white.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled, purged cache, tried everything I can find to get the thumbnails to display correctly - as they originally did. Sometime during an update things went bad.
Anyone have a solution please. isearched the forum and came up with nothing. I just can't stand going to the file open dialog box to open files instead of using Bridge as I have always done.
Thanks.

Why? Are you talking CPU hours or staff-hours? Does your workflow require heavy

Error Message when starting Bridge CS2: "create redeclared"

I get this "create redeclared" error message on the following line of code:
var labelMenu = MenuElement.create( "command", "Label", "at the end of Thumbnail");
but then this function and all others work just fine afterwards. Is there a way to either fix the error or suppress this warning? It's really more of an annoyance than anything else.
I'm using Bridge CS2 1.0.4.6

This happens if you try to create a menu that already exists. Use MenuElement.find() to avoid re-creating a menu with the same ID.

InDesign thumbnails in Bridge CS4

I've noticed that some InDesign CS2 and CS4 files do not show thumbnails in Bridge CS4. I tried the Build and Export Cache function in the Tools menu and nothing changed. Any suggestions?
Also, I would be interested in a Bridge extension for harvesting thumbnails for old PageMaker 6.5 and 7 files.

Here is a link that has the same problem. No real jump in your face solultion, but hopefully it will help guide you.

Help! can't see CR2 thumbnails In Bridge

what can I try?
I cannot see the thumbnails in Bridge but can go into CS4 and open them up no problem
I shoot Canon 5d Mark II
I downloaded Camera Raw 5.3
works fine for my regular 5D but no on the new Mark II
any suggestions?
thanks!

Hi - Joan's husband here (I built the computer hardware for her, but don't
really know Photoshop that well). I did a search for "camera raw" files and
found a second instance located in the adobe/common files folder (not in
program file subfolders as the proper plugin is located per instructions).
It was the 5.0 version, and I could not do anything with it, eg delete it as
it "was in use by a program", even though I had no prgrams open. I was able
to rename it to "old camera raw 5-0", and I copied the new camera raw 5.4
version into that folder. I rebooted and now had 3 camera raw plugins
appearing in CS4/hlep/about/plugins drop down list.
I then went back into the common file folder and was able to delete the old
camera raw file. I now have two camera raw files appearing in the
help/aboutplugins dropdwon, but they are both the same 5.4 version. Now I am
able to see a selection to generate a high quality thumbnail for the cs2
files in Bridge when I right-clicked on those, and this generated the
thumbnails for all of those file types. All is well now (I hope !!), thanks
for your input and advice.
I did purge the cache, but that didn't change anything as far as I could
tell. Also, the 5.4 update doesn't show the Canon 5D Mark II on the list of
updated cameras for this revision, so I don't think it is a necessary update
for this specific camera, but probably good to stay current.
If this was an "end-run" around a proper fix then I would like to know the
proper way to resolve this.

Bridge CS2 - files over a network

I have been using Bridge CS2 for a while now. It is mainly used for the preview and management of RAW files. Until recently, the files have been located on the local drive (C:) and there has been no issue. However, I have recently, for security reasons, moved all of the files onto a Linux file server. Ever since then, it has been painfully slow using Bridge, infact it crashes infrequently.
I know that the solution may seem obvious - the file transmission is being slowed by the network/server. However the network runs a gigabit LAN with a gigabit switch between the two machines. The physical location of the server is less than two meters from the workstation, and I can confirm that the LAN is infact running at 1000 (monitoring via task manager of file transfer in Explorer between two machines). Regardless, even at 100bit LAN, Bridge should still be running smoothly.
I copy the RAW files (about 12meg each pic) onto the server, and then open Bridge and it takes about 10mins to load up about 100 files.
I have tried clearing the cache, and running the cache on both the local and network machine, and all of the this suggested by Adobe http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=317912.
As far as I can tell, Bridge is taking a long time to build the thumbnails. I have even tried turning off anti-virus and firewall, but there is no difference. Every other network activity takes little/no time and I need this to work smoothly. Surely I don't have to restrict to local files!
Please help me! Do I need to change any settings? Is it normal for Bridge to take so long over a network?

I realise that operating over a network is never faster than a local drive, however using a gigabit LAN and dedicated file server should be the closest thing to running a local drive, if not as fast as a USB2.0 drive (which runs at 480Mbps).
I have however been able to solve the problem. I am not sure if this is an actual "fix" but I did a few things:
1) I unmounted the network drive and remounted it using SUBST (ie "SUBST X: C:\directory\path")
2) I cleared the cache for both Bridge and the Camera Raw ("C:\Documents and Settings\ [user] \Application Data\Adobe\Bridge" & "C:\Documents and Settings\ [user] \Application Data\Adobe\Camera Raw"); then
3) I rebooted all machines (including the sever with "sudo shutdown -Fh now"); and finally
4) After reopening Bridge the first time I closed it down again and cleared the cache again.
Now it works perfectly - infact it is very close to the speed it was working with the local drive. The cache build very fast and there is no more hanging or crashes, and I am back to the old Bridge!!

Icon does not appear in the image thumbnail in Bridge

After processing a camera raw file using the Camera Raw plug-in, an icon does not appera in the image thumbnail in Bridge. Using raw plug-in created april 19 2007 in windows vista. The same CS2 program does create the icon on another computer using Windoes XP. Jim

Please check your top toolbar left side, you should see a small arrow icon to expend the toolbar, located near the Tools option
(Ignore the location side in the sample picture, it should be the opposite for your language )
If you cannot locate the HP Smart Web Printing there either, Click Tools > Manage Addons
and make sure the HP Smart Web Printing addon is enabled,

Maintain changes in Thumbnail in Bridge

I had some issues with Bridge a few days ago. The typical view of thumbnails I was used to, where underneath my thumbnail was some info (date/time/name/size) was missing, it was just the thumbnails. I reset my workspace and got back to the view I was used to. But now I have a different issue. When I open an image in Camera Raw, process it, then close it, the changes don't appear in the thumbnails in Bridge. This is new. I've used Adobe Bridge along with Camera Raw and Photoshop for a decade, all the way back to PS3, and this is the first time I've seen this. Anyone know what's going on, how I can correct it? Thanks, Dave

If you use embedded thumbnails they will not show raw edits. Have to use one of HQ thumbs.

Adobe Bridge (CS2) not working. Even after new installation

Hello,
The Problem was, that Adobe Bridge (CS2 on Windows XP) suddenly stopped the work. After several days of trying to get this program to run again, i deinstalled and installed Photoshop with all it´s programms.
But Bridge still is not working anymore. I can visit some folders once or twice, but after 2 tries, it stopps and give no reaction.
What is wrong with Photoshop ?
regards

You need to reset Bridge preferences by holding
Ctrl+Alt+Shift while starting the program from the icon. You should get a dialog offering three choices select all of them.
This does not happen with a re-install of the program.
If you don't get the dialog box, keep trying till you do.
