Note: Purging the cache deletes the metadata cache and thumbnail cache. If the metadata can’t be written to a file, label
and rating information is lost as well.
❖ Choose any of the following commands from the Tools > Cache submenu:
Build Cache For Subfolders Builds, as a background process, a cache for the selected folder and all the folders within
it (except aliases/shortcuts to other folders). This shortens the time spent waiting for the cache to be displayed as you
look in subfolders.
Purge Cache For This Folder Clears the cache for the selected folder. This command is useful if you suspect that the
cache for a folder is old and needs to be regenerated.
Purge Central Cache Clears the entire centralized cache and any distributed cache in the currently viewed folder,
freeing room on the hard drive. The command does not otherwise clear local caches.
Export Cache Exports the cache, allowing you to burn a CD with the cache already generated. Because the folder
cache is written into the folder, the thumbnail cache and metadata cache are available after you burn the CD. This
option is active only if you chose Use A Centralized Cache File in the Preferences dialog box.
Files and folders in Bridge
To view file and folder thumbnails in Bridge
The content area of Bridge displays thumbnails of the files and folders of the selected folder, along with information
about them. You can specify how you want files and folders to be displayed in the content area.
❖ Do any of the following:
• Drag the Thumbnail slider at the bottom of the Bridge window to adjust the size of thumbnails.
• Choose View > As Thumbnails to display items in a grid.
• Choose View > As Filmstrip to display thumbnails in a scrolling list along with an extra-large thumbnail of the
currently selected item. Click the Back button or Forward button directly below the extra-large thumbnail to go
to the previous or next thumbnail. Click the Switch Filmstrip Orientation button to change from a horizontal
slide show to a vertical one. Note that you can page through a PDF preview in Filmstrip view.
• Choose View > As Details to display a scrollable list of thumbnails along with information about the selected file.
• Choose View > As Versions And Alternates to display a scrollable list of thumbnails, including thumbnails of any
Version Cue alternates and versions for each item (Adobe Creative Suite 2 only). Only the current file appears
unless you have created an alternates group containing the file or created previous versions of the file. Click Alter-
nates View or Versions View at the top right of the content area to display thumbnails of alternates or versions. In
Alternates View, you can also create alternates groups containing files that are not in the current folder.
• Choose View > Show Thumbnail Only to view thumbnails without any text information listed. However, Version
Cue tool tips still display Version Cue information when you position the pointer over the thumbnail.
• Choose View > Slideshow to view thumbnails as a slide show that takes over the entire screen. This is a quick and
easywaytodisplayandworkwithlargeversionsofallthegraphicsfilesinafolder.Instructionsonhowtousethe
slide show are displayed on the screen when you choose this command.
Depending on the view you’re in, you can display extra file information by positioning the pointer over a thumbnail
in the content area. For files in Version Cue projects (Adobe Creative Suite 2 only), you can also choose File >
Versions or File Alternates. This command opens a dialog box that lets you work with the file’s versions or alternates
without having to select that view in the Bridge content area.
