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. . .
