Sharing collections in Bridge?

"Bridge Booster" claims that we can now share collections, at least in the latest iteration of Bridge.

Here's his comment on an earlier post here:

You can share regular Collections in CS5 for images stored on a server that other users have access to. You can just copy the .filelist file from /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS5/Collections and paste it into the other users Collections folder and relaunch Bridge. This will not work for local files. Please note that there is a bug in CS5 Collections where any file names or folder names that use an apostrophe will cause the Collection to not list any files after that file. If you search on the Adobe forums you can find a script to fix the Collections file and replace the apostrophes with the proper characters (%20 I think).

So far I haven't been able to test this out yet -- can anyone confirm this?

DO NOT UPGRADE TO BRIDGE CS6

OK, sorry for the uppercase scream in the title but Ive recently upgraded to CS6 and learned that the latest iteration of Bridge has at least one VERY SERIOUS bug buried in the program's bowels.

When indexing a folder, in this case a mixture of 793 jpgs and tiffs, the program extracts all the existing metadata (keywords and the like) but appears to hang up with extracting the thumbs and apparently the previews as well.

In the lower left corner of the program where the number of items and extracting progress is found, the item numbers shows up but the extracting process is interminable. By that I mean that the number of thumb extractions decreases but  before finishing goes back up again, then down and then back up and so on. And if you try to resize the window during this process it will happen with a larger swing in number differentiation.

Note that the settings and preferences are the same used in CS4 and CS5.

I googled the issue and sure enough this problem has been identified on the Adobe forum site (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4500258) but there doesn't appear to be any clear-cut answer at this point --  it is a cross-platform issue as well.

If anyone has an answer or possible solution please let me know and I'll post it for them right here.

Final note: there doesn't appear to be any reason to upgrade to Bridge CS6 anyway, no cool new feature or enhancement (such as easily sharable collections) worth the hassle.

One final note, and a curious one as well: the Bridge and Mini Bridge icons are missing from Photoshop CS6. Coincidence? I hope so. . .
