Pointer for those pilgrims who follow: if you have a folder with over 100 large uncompressed tiffs, let Adobe Bridge finish "generating previews" before you do a Batch Rename. Otherwise it craps out after about the first 80 files. Thank goodness I was only adding a Prefix to the Filename and not a complete rename/renumber.
Heads up! YMMV.
Other than that it is working fine. Thanks again!
We've never had that happen in the studio when setting Bridge to 'Prefer Embedded' preview. That might be a solution for you. We're using batch rename on thousands of files at a time and life is too short to wait for bridge previews! When we are outputting TIFF's from Capture One we set them to save with embedded thumbnail. This enables Bridge to then use them and showing those thumbnails is practically instant even over a slow network.
In addition there is a neat little feature in Bridge CC called 'build and export cache'. Although designed for use on servers it's also very useful for this kind of thing. Here's a link explaining how to use the feature: https://helpx.adobe.com/il_en/bridge/using/centrally-manage-bridge-cache.html
I use this to build the cache for an entire drive or set of folders. Set it up and leave it to build cache while I go to lunch or overnight, or even if it's a big drive, through the weekend. Bridge builds the cache for folders without you having to browse them. It then saves the cache for each folder in the folder. In real terms it means that you can prepare the cache for a large amount of folders in advance of having to work on them.
Bridge is slow with previews but so is everything else I've tried. You might want to try FastStone. I did some benchmarking with a bunch of free image viewers on a powerful machine, this was the only one which was faster than Bridge for building JPG previews and had a decent batch rename capability. With anything not containing an embedded thumbnail it was slower, much slower than Bridge. So was everything else.
