Unable to change Bridge CS5.5 Cache location to other than c:\user\

For some reason, I am unable to change the Cache location of Bridge CS5.5 outside of my c:\user\ folder. Other drives in the system are not seen by Bridge. This was not the case before. I used to have it in a different dedicated drive. I reset the preferences, deleted the cache but still they do not help. Please help, as my C: Drive is a SSD with limited space and contains OS only! There is no problem with PS or PR, only Bridge.

If it worked before what did you change?
I know there are some problems in Bridge with users relocating temp file to so place other than C drive.  Known bug.
Here is a link with similar situation.  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/760369

  • Bridge CS5 Cache Location

    What are the advantages and disadvantages of centralized vs. "exported to folders" cache locations in Bridge CS5?
    I see in the help section it says something about sharing images across computers.
    Other than that, what are the effective differences?
    Thanks,
    Drew

    Have never seen a document laying out exactly how cache works, but this is my understanding.
    Central cache is the main cache, and when you select purge this is the one that gets purged.
    I use central cache as I believe that if you get a contaminated file you will have to manually delete the cache in all the folders, as purging only affects central cache.  Using central cache may cost time, expecially on folders I rarely use, as the cache may have been deleted and replaced by cache from recently visited folders.  But this depends on how many files you have and where you have the slider set for storage.
    Some have reported that haveing distributed cache speeds up loading time for folders.  Distributed cache is an additional cache put on the various folders.   It is useful if you want to send photos to another drive as all the  info is there (XMP files).  Otherwise you have to choose build and  export cache.
    Hope this helps.

  • Bridge CS6 cache location

    My Master Collection CS6 was installed as administrator under Win 7 x64 Pro .
    In CS5 I placed the cache on a non-boot drive.
    In CS6, the only cache location options available to me from within Preferences are within my User folder on the boot drive.  I am running as admininstrator, and have tried explicitly running as administrator to no effect.
    How can I get the CS6 cache onto the drive of my choice?

    Note the current folder and the full path to the folder you want to use for the cache.
    Run regedit.
    Search for Bridge CS6.
    Look down the associated keys and locate the folder noted above. Only one place needs changing.
    Edit the folder name to read the new location.
    Re-start Bridge and check the preferences show the new folder.
    Delete the old cache folder (mine was 40+ gigabytes).
    Leave Bridge running until it has finished regenerating the cache in the new location.
    It might have been quicker to copy/move the old cache to the new location before re-starting Bridge after the location change, but I wasn't sure it would work correctly and was pleased to have a fresh, clean cache.

  • Unable to open Bridge CS5

    My iMac hard drive crashed.  I installed a new one and re-installed Photoshop CS5.  I am using OS X 10.8.2
    Photoshop searched for and found updates and they were all successfully installed.  However, I am unable to open Bridge.  The mini-bridge function gets hung up on "waiting for bridge".  If I attempt to open Bridge from its own icon, it starts the process and then immediately closes.

    Strange, can you report back the exact version numbers of PS and Bridge. (sorry, misread the update mentioned in first post)
    If you change the finder window to column mode and select the icon it will show the info in a column next to the bridge icon.
    Can you also provide details about your computer set up (type of iMac, amount of RAM, free space left on the Disk and Graphic card with amount of VRAM)?
    You can check this all under the Apple icon top left 'About this Mac'
    Does PS work normal on your system and do you have it activated as a full version and not in trial mode?
    Did you try to uninstall PS and reinstall again to see if this would work?

  • Bridge CS5 Cache

    I had assumed that if I compacted the cache, it would remove items that have been deleted. Having just removed about 100 pictures and then compacted the cache, I found that the deleted items are all still in the cache. Do I really have to manually deleted the cache to remove them, or is there another way?
    Bridge is configured to keep 100% Previews in Cache

    I don't think this is quite correct. The "full" folder only contains a few items from a few directories. Only 5 from a folder of 2000. I have experimented by clicking on files, expanding them to maximum size, but they were not added to the "full" folder.
    Then there is something wrong with either your install or your system (or you on Mac or Windows)
    The moment I hit the magnifier the image starts to build the 100% preview (I have set quality to always HQ preview and only use 100 % on demand) the file is added to the full folder.
    e.g. a 21 MP Canon EOS 1Ds3 file converted to DNG does after normal cache results in 2 jpeg cache files ('filename'.dng.jpg) and after hitting magnifier for 100% in 3 files. With in mind different subjects provide smaller or larger jpeg here the file sizes for this particular file.
    1 in the folder 254 (30 kb)
    1 in the folder 1024 (1,9 MB)
    1 in the folder full (6,1 MB)
    I have on occasions deleted the cache, but rebuilding the cache with 80,000 items takes some time. This should not even be necessary
    Although I'm a big fan of Bridge I keep repeating that using it for DAM on large amounts of files might not be the best idea. I stopped with this DAM use already in CS3 after discovering that Bridge predecessor 'File Browser' (PSCS1) cache files needed replaced by Bridge 1 that came with CS2 and again a new cache method for Bridge 2 in CS3. Bridge CS3 was also very unstable. CS4 had again a new cache as did CS5
    CS5 and CS6 seem to share the structure but I'm not sure it is wise to copy the CS5 cache to the CS6 folder and be ready for use.
    Also the way chosen for caching is not very suitable for Digital Asset Management to my opinion. The cache file grows to fast to huge proportions (see example above, with 1 21 MP DNG file viewed at 100% the total result is 8 MB data, nearly half the size of its original...)
    Searching in Bridge is very slow and the quick search only meant for the folder pointed in the content window.
    So after having used both iView Media Pro and Extensis Portfolio as DAM for my archive with keepers (around 60.000 at the moment) I still was not happy and ended up with the single user version of Canto Cumulus.
    Canto is very fast in building the cache (only 1 or 2 hours for this amount of files), lightning fast in searching and the total amount of the cache file for this 60.000 files archive is less then 3 GB.
    Having used CS6 beta for the past months and about 20.000 files cached this already resulted in a cache file of 25 GB...
    Also Bridge is not meant to use over a network, especially multiple users can be very tricky (different libraries on user levels) and we should keep in mind that Bridge still comes for free with PS or other CS suite applications and a real DAM is not free

  • Bridge CS4 Cache Location

    I have set the Bridge Cache to go into a folder on my photos drive.  It will work the first time I set it up, but then each subsequent time I launch Bridge, the cache files revert to the root level of the drive, not the specified folder.  Anyone else having this issue?  It's a pain to have to keep deleting those cache files - why won't they go where they are told?

    Have you also posted in the Bridge Forum?

  • Change SSRS "Displayed Page Title" to other than "Home - Report Manager" in top left corner of Browser

    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure how to change the actual page title that is displayed in the top left corner of the Browser
    "Home - Report Manager" to something more meaningful to my company, so that when a user bookmark the page it will pickup the title from there.
    According to the default Link:  /Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ViewMode=List    I opened up
    Folder.aspx, and all I see is a reference to Folder.aspx.cs,  I could not locate this file and I'm not sure if there is where I can change the title.  
    I can change the Site Title by clicking on the "Site Setting" link but this does not allow the change of the Page Title that is on the top left corner of the browser.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hi Chillette,
    In Reporting Services 2008 R2 or later, if we add a bookmark for a folder or report on report manager, the title of the site will display as folder name-Report Manger or report name-Report Manager. In Reporting Services 2008 or earlier, it will display as
    Report-Manager only. We can rename the title of the site manually after we add the bookmark.
    So in your scenario, you can update the report server to SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2 or rename the title of the site manually after we add the bookmark.
    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

  • Best way to change row and/or cell colors other than doing it in sql

    So I have some interactive reports and I would like to be able to change the color of the row (and in some cases cell). I have seen threads talking to doing this with the sql statement. But is there a way to do this either when the page is displayed or as a result of some action on the page?

    Take a look at this article, towards the middle it shows in interactive reports how to change colors of rows based upon values: http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/apex/r31/apex31nf/apex31irr.htm

  • Change Apache2 web root to something other than 'library/webserver/doc...'

    I'd like to serve my websites from a folder within my Documents folder instead of 'Library/Webserver/Documents' but Apache won't open the files.
    I'm trying to use /Users/rickcurran/Documents/Client_Data/ as the root but I just get the "You don't have permission to access / on this server." error message. I'm sure I've changed this before so I'm wondering if something changed with Leopard to lock this down or am I missing something really obvious?
    I used to use a different root folder before installing Leopard but this was on an external firewire drive so perhaps the permissions didn't kick in under that setup?
    Any ideas how to make this work?
    Thanks!

  • How do I change my default email to something other than Mail?

    Whenever I try to use the "contact us" button on websites, Mail pops up but I want to use another email provider. Anyone know how to set my other emails as the default?

    Open the Mail app.
    From the menu bar top of your screen click Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
    Click the pop up menu to the right of:  Default Emai Reader

  • Unable to move events and projects to anywhere other than root directory on external drive

    So I bought myself a nice, big, fat and juicy external RAID box and set about moving all my iMovie projects and events from my puny internal iMac drive.
    I've tried to follow all the advice found on Apple Discussions concerning moving them from within iMovie by dragging to the new drive, but try as I might, I cannot find a way to drag to a sub-folder. iMovie INSISTS on putting my data into folders directly on my root, top level of the external drive. That seems rather ridiculous, considering that all I'm trying to do is recreate the "Movies" folder I had on my internal drive, which is nested within several folders itself.
    Please, someone, tell me there is a way to tell iMovie to move the folders iMovie Drop Box, iMovie Events, iMovie Projects, and iMovie Sharing INSIDE a folder on my root called iMovie. Right now, they're sitting out in the elements on the top level, and my OCD is going bananas...
    Aloha,
    clarkkent61564

    The iMovie Projects folder and the iMovie Events folder need to be at the top level of an external drive for iMovie to see it.
    The iMovie Projects folder can have subfolders within it if you want.

  • Managing Bridge's Cache?

    Adobe Bridge is not perfect by any means. However, I have gotten used to it. I use it for a lot of things including managing my photography files. Being the pack-rat that I am, I usually don't throw away much. My problem is that the Cache for my Adobe Bridge is reaching 80gb.
    Is there a better way of managing my cache to minimize excessive hard drive space?

    >is there anyway to select what I want to keep in my cache and what not needs to be there?
    You didn't say which version of Bridge you're running. I don't know that you cna selectively manage in Bride CS3.  You can for the Bridge CS4 cache via windows file management (Windows Explorer).
    Bridge CS4 cache location:
      c:/Document and Settings/user-name/Application Data/Adobe/Bridge CS4/Cache
    Here you will find folders /256, /1024, and /full that contain folders of cache data (jpg files) that correspond to your image file folders.  You can delete any of these cache folders of jpegs, though Bridge will recreate its cache if needed; that is, the next time you navigate to one of your image folders.  The greatest amount of disk space reclamation will be obtained from deleting undesired cache folders from the </full> set and only enabling Bridge's Generate 100% Previews when you want them (to prevent regeneration of full size previews when you navigate Bridge to the older folders).

  • Accidentally changed cache location and the app crashes and never opens

    I recently changed the cache location to an external usb and whenever I try to open the app t crashes and gives me an error pop up. I cant change the cache location back to default since I can never open the app, feels like a catch22 situation. A simple reinstallation didn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

    Hello: Wait you changed the cache location folder for the spotify desktop spotify app, or changed the location for a system wide cache location? If you did a system wide cache move your probable going to run into all kinds of isssues. Would not it be a smart idea to plug in the USB device that was used in the change of cache location, and then try to launch spotify and see if it loads correct and finds the hacked moved new cache location? What about trying to retrace your steps in how you changed the default cache location, and just reverse the process to move the cache location back to it's default location, using the terminal system folder linking process, and then try to see if spotify will launch properly? I mean your on a Mac is your HD that small? I thought that was one of Apples selling points, larger memory run abilities, and larger HD space for their systems? Does not Mac have something called Time Machine, have your tried that route to fix the lost Cache location folder?
