First off though, is there an adobe.bridge group? I couldn’t find one.

Anyway, every time I launch Bridge (CS3), it rebuilds the thumbnail cache. EVERY time. And, with an immense resources folder, it take a few minutes and it’s extremely annoying. Isn’t the purpose of a cache to preclude taking all that time to load thumbnails every time the program loads?

I’ve looked through the preferences and can’t find a way to keep Bridge from doing this every time I load it, is there a way?

You might try setting your Bridge cache preference setting to Use Distributed Cache Files instead of centralized. This way there will be cache files in every folder where there are images instead of one huge central file that may have to be rebuilt if one image changed.
