In real terms it means that you can prepare the cache for a large amount of folders in advance of having to work on them.īridge is slow with previews but so is everything else I've tried. It then saves the cache for each folder in the folder. Bridge builds the cache for folders without you having to browse them. Set it up and leave it to build cache while I go to lunch or overnight, or even if it's a big drive, through the weekend. I use this to build the cache for an entire drive or set of folders.

Here's a link explaining how to use the feature: Although designed for use on servers it's also very useful for this kind of thing. In addition there is a neat little feature in Bridge CC called 'build and export cache'. This enables Bridge to then use them and showing those thumbnails is practically instant even over a slow network. We're using batch rename on thousands of files at a time and life is too short to wait for bridge previews! When we are outputting TIFF's from Capture One we set them to save with embedded thumbnail. We've never had that happen in the studio when setting Bridge to 'Prefer Embedded' preview. Thank goodness I was only adding a Prefix to the Filename and not a complete rename/renumber. Otherwise it craps out after about the first 80 files. Pointer for those pilgrims who follow: if you have a folder with over 100 large uncompressed tiffs, let Adobe Bridge finish 'generating previews' before you do a Batch Rename.

I did the experiment no change in file size. Simple experiment would be to do a rename of a single file in a file manager and compare it's size with a Bridge renamed file. If I do a bulk rename of Jpegs using Adobe Bridge, is there any detriment to the jpegs? By that I mean, does Bridge rename without re-saving and re-compressing the jpg? I shoot with two cameras and need to avoid duplicate file names. Photoshop / Bridge: bulk rename of JPEGs - any loss / resave?.Note: The example extension is gif, but when you perform the rename, Photoshop will figure out that the files actually need to be jpg. Notice how the batch rename window above gives you an example of what the resulting file names will look like - keep an eye on this to make sure you're doing it correctly.

However you must have at least one serial option - otherwise all your files will have the same name (Photoshop won't actually let you do this, for obvious reasons).

You can have any combination of fixed text, dates and serial numbers or letters. Selecting EXTENSION from the menu would give each file the extension '.JPG'. In the third menu we selected a lower-case extension, which will give each file the extension '.jpg'. In the second menu we selected a 2 digit serial number, which will begin at 01 and increment for each file name. This will be the beginning of every file name in the batch. In the example above we entered the word 'familyday' in the first menu, followed by a hyphen. Add as many parts to the file name as you like (up to 6). Starting with the first drop-menu, either select an item from the menu or enter your own text. Each drop-menu includes a list of options (pictured right).
