Bridge Advanced preferences
Set any of the following Advanced preferences and click OK:
Do Not Process Files Larger Than Specifies the maximum file size of documents for which Bridge automatically
creates thumbnails. Displaying large files can slow performance.
Number Of Recently Visited Folders To Display In The Look In Popup Sets the number of most recently viewed
folders that appear in the Look In menu.
Language Sets the language used in the Bridge interface.
Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings In Bridge Opens camera raw files in the Adobe Camera Raw dialog box in
Bridge.
Use A Centralized Cache File Places the two cache files created for each folder you view in a centralized folder. A
centralized cache is generally easier to use than a distributed cache. For instance, when the cache is centralized, you
don’t have to search in multiple, distributed locations if you want to remove the cache. To specify a new name or
location for this centralized cache folder, click Choose.
Use Distributed Cache Files When Possible Placesthetwocachefilescreatedforeachfolderdisplayedintheviewed
folder,ifpossible.Forinstance,it’snotpossibletoplacethecachefilesintheviewedfolderifthatfolderisonaburned
CD. In that case, Bridge places the cache files in the centralized folder instead. However, if you are burning a CD,
using a distributed cache means that you don’t have to export the cache to the CD, because it is already in the folder
being burned to the CD.
Note: Cache files are hidden files. To view them in Bridge, choose View > Show Hidden Files.
To work with the cache in Bridge
The cache stores thumbnail, metadata, and file information to shorten loading times when you return to a previously
viewed folder. However, storing the cache takes up disk space.
