It's been too long since I posted an update about our central image library but things have been going well and I suppose I didn't want to jinx that. We're at nearly 160k (that's 160,000) photos archived using Bridge and so far, so good.
Well, OK, all is not perfect in the Emerald City, at least in respect to one machine in particular, a Windows PC running Bridge CS5.1.
Lately I've notice an odd behavior occurring on this particular Windows machine: when I save a search by creating a collection of images (~5k), and then return to review the collection later, once it completes building criteria and I start sorting through the collection, duplicate thumbs and filenames appear, first a few and then hundreds.
Mind you, this phenomenon is machine-specific only and does not seem to affect copying files to another folder; it does not actually create duplicate files in the image library (housed on a separate server).
Anyway, if I click out of the collection and then back in the phenomenon is gone; the collection has returned to its normal state. (Or what passes for normal in Bridge).
Odd? It's not so much the frustration that arises when I try and use the collection for sorting, etc., but the concern that something is going on deep inside Bridge's bowels (not a pleasant image either) that may be causing unseen or unknown things to occur inside the image library.
Any ideas?
