    CS4 Cache and "Open Recent"

    shoot me now-d3u3se Community Member

      I keep reading conflicting info on whether to let Bridge export cache files to folders or to maintain a central cache. What is preferable and why?


      Second, File>Open Recent is always grayed out and no files are ever listed. Is there some way to make this work?

       

      Thanks.

          I think the Bridge cache files exported to folders are in addition to Bridge's central cache.  You would want cache exported to folders if you plan to write those folders to another system or external media and view them in Bridge on another system.

           

          For me, Bridge's Open Recent lists files recently opened by installed Adobe CS apps such as Photoshop.  For example my Open Recent in Bridge lists files that I've recently opened in Photoshop, In Design and Dreamweaver.  There also is a Reveal Recent button in the application bar with submenus for CS apps then a list of recent folders viewed in Bridge.  Does Reveal Recent display anything for you?

            The Reveal Recent is not present (or is doing a fine job of hiding) and Open Recent is just useless. Photoshop's Recent menu works fine, but Bridge appears to be oblivious.

              One idea: for Open Recent being absent, you might check Bridge Preferences > Startup Scripts and see if any are unchecked.

               

              Here's where I find Reveal Recent in my setup.

                Scripts are all enabled. Reveal Recent has a list of folders but no files. Guess that's better than nothing. Thanks for the help.
