CS browser "forgets" cached thumbs

Hi forum,

have searched through the threads here and didn’t find anything about the browser forgetting it’s caches so i’m bringing it up.

I have quite some folders containing images i constantly jump between and from time to time i have to see that folders that were freshly cached yesterday are being cached again which of course means all my rotations and even worse, my last raw-converter settings are gone.
This is by now quite tedious because this way my trust in the browser as my central administration is gone.

Has anybody experienced this too and found a cure? Or am i just missing something?

I noticed that from 1000+ images in a folder work with the browser is slowing down significantly – say you just put a number of microdrives from a shoot in, let cache, check the images and delete the unwanted – the time it takes the cache file to update itself is unnerving, even if you just delete one of course.

So i thought maybe i have too much folders with subfolders spread over 2 drives, maybe there is some kind of limit to the number of caches or their size so that i am in a state now where one cache gets deleted in favor of the actual one being written …

I’d appreciate any input on this, be it RTFM or a hint for an upcoming cs service release 😉

regards,
lX

The manual doesn’t provide much info on File Browser and there won’t be a service release because it isn’t broken.

FB caches on "folder" by "folder" (or "sub folder") basis. If you rename the folder/sub folder, copy or move it to another location (includes folder or sub folder) then the original cache will need to be rebuilt. If you add new files then the cache needs to be updated, etc, etc. etc.

I suggest that you select a folder after the cache has been built and then choose Export Cache from the FB File menu. You’ll need to do this for each and ever folder/sub folder. Doing so means that FB always has a starting point to build the new/updated cache from.

Thanks Ian,

yes, that’s what i also took from the similar thread that got posted today – slipped my attention 🙁

While exporting the cache as intermediate solution will do i’d be very interested in what causes this irregularity on untouched folders.

The FB is certainly not broken, i didn’t mean that, but since it’s one of the newer features and much feedback about it has been made here i just guessed that in any 8.x updates that may be coming some work would go into the FB, as well 😉

8.x updates

Updates? Surely you can’t mean it. CS is the epitome of perfection and all perceived flaws are the result of Microsoft’s incompetence or your computer’s own pathetic hardware/software configuration…. now go away, peasant.
