    BRIDGE CS6 - Move CACHE without rebuilding/indexing

    Ola_1974. Community Member

      Hi,

       

      been trying to find answers for this in the forum, but could not, so here we go.

       

      I have setup a SSD RAID0 system to use as dedicated CACHE drive.

       

      I have A LOT of files (and I mean A LOT!!) on my computer as I am working a lot with timelapse-photography.

       

      For after effects /  premiere, I have moved the cache files from the old location to a new location on the new speed-devil-SSD-Cache system, without problems.

       

      However, when I try to move the Bridge cache folder, and then specify that new location in Bridge, it seem like Bridge is NOT picking up the files which is allready stored on the new location.

      Actually Bridge starts to rebuild the cache and read all files again. This is VERY time-consuming, due to my very large number of files on my system.

      Now If could leave Bridge rebuilding over night, I could probably survive. The problem is that Bridge does not start to fetch thumbs and rebuild until I enter that specific folder again with Bridge.

       

      So my question is; How can I make Bridge believe the new cache location is still the old one, so that I don't have to rebuild all my cache files again?

       

      For now I switched back to the old cace location for Bridge, until I figure out how to overcome this rather strange behaviour of Bridge..

      Surely there has to be an elegant way of moving your cache in Bridge withough having to rebuild all over again..

       

      Thank you for any advise..
