Is there a limit to the number of directories the Bridge in CS5 will accept? I have an internal 1 TB HDD that I use only for my picture files (on a Win 7 64-bit machine with 8G Ram). The directory structure is: E:\WalterK\MyDocuments\MyPictures\2008PhotoStuff\LatestDownloads\Date_Name Of Shoot\and the image files.
Under ...LatestDownloads\ I have very, very many folders of shoots from 2008-May 2010. Last night I put in my day's shooting using my usual workflow: I used Lightroom to copy my files from my card reader & CF card to ...\2010-05-29_Poughkeepsie Bridges. I viewed them in LR last night. Today, I opened CS5 and summoned the Bridge and tried to navigage to my pictures, and there was no such folder there. I checked in LR, and the pix and folder were there. I checked in Computer and found the folder and files on the HDD where they were supposed to be. I loaded the Bridge from CS4, and the folder was there.
I closed CS5 and the CS5 Bridge, and reopened them. Still no folder. I tried View>Refresh, to no avail. I then went to Computer and made a new test folder with today's date, which appeared where it should, under LatestDownloads, below yesterday's folder. Bridge CS4 was able to find the folder. I reopened CS5, and under File>Open I was able to navigate to the folders in question, and open a file. I called the CS5 Bridge, and neither the test folder nor yesterday's folder was visible.
The only conclusion I have come to is that there is a limit to the number of folders in a directory that the new Bridge will find. I will now trash the prefs file in CS5, and I hate having to redo all my prefs.
Any ideas on what is happening?
