Build and manage the cache
❖
Choose either of the following commands from the Tools > Cache menu:
Builds, as a background process, a cache for the selected folder and all the folders within it
Build And Export Cache
(except aliases or shortcuts to other folders). This command reduces the time spent waiting for thumbnails and file
information to be displayed as you browse in subfolders. You can also generate 100% previews in cache to help
improve performance when viewing images at 100% in slide shows and full-screen previews, or using the Loupe tool.
The Export Cache To Folders option in the Build Cache dialog box creates a local cache for sharing or archiving to
disc. When this option is selected, Adobe Bridge creates cache files for the selected folder and its subfolders. When a
folder is copied to an external disc, such as a CD or DVD for archiving, the cache files are copied, too. When you
navigate to a previously unviewed folder in Adobe Bridge, such as a folder on the archived CD, Adobe Bridge uses the
exported cache to display thumbnails faster. The exported cache is based on the central cache and includes duplicate
information.
Note: Exported cache files are hidden files. To view them in Adobe Bridge, choose View > Show Hidden Files.
Purge Cache For Folder [Selected Folder]
suspect that the cache for a folder is old and must be regenerated. (If, for example, thumbnails and metadata are not
being updated.)

or in full-screen preview, and when using the Loupe tool. Keeping 100% previews in cache, however, can use
significant disk space.
Automatically Export Caches To Folders When Possible
For example, you cannot place the cache files in the viewed folder if the folder is on a read-only disc.
Specify a new location for the cache. The new location takes effect the next time you start Adobe Bridge.
Location
Drag the slider to specify a larger or smaller cache size. If the cache is near the defined limit (500,000

records) or the volume that contains the cache is too full, older cached items are removed when you exit Adobe Bridge.
Optimize cache by removing obsolete records to reduce the total number of records.
Compact Cache
Delete the entire cache, freeing room on the hard drive.

Manage color

In Adobe Bridge, the thumbnail quality determines whether color profile settings are used. High-quality thumbnails
use color-profile settings, while quick thumbnails do not. Use the Advanced Preferences and the Options For
Thumbnail Quality and Preview Generation button in the application bar to determine thumbnail quality.
If you own Adobe Creative Suite 4, you can use Adobe Bridge to synchronize color settings across all color-managed
Creative Suite components. When you specify Creative Suite color settings using the Edit > Creative Suite Color
Settings command in Adobe Bridge, color settings are automatically synchronized. Synchronizing color settings
ensures that colors look the same in all color-managed Adobe Creative Suite 4 components. For instructions on using
Adobe Bridge to set up color management, search for "synchronize color settings" in the Help for your component.
