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. 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. Note: Cache files are hidden files. To view them in Bridge, choose View > Show Hidden Files. Use Distributed Cache Files When Possible Places the two cache files created for each folder displayed in the viewed folder, if possible. For instance, it's not possible to place the cache files in the viewed folder if that folder is on a burned 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: If you have Creative Suite 2 installed, there are additional Camera Raw preference options available. For more information, see Help in a Creative Suite 2 application. To work with cache in Bridge 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.
