Bridge on mac cant see nested folders: for a file browser its unbelievable

I’m working on a folder in bridge.  I create a folder elsewhere - or worse *bridge creates the folder*, but it will not update the folder view to show the folder. Its been like this since I got a. macbook ~2 years ago. I don't understand how this is possible.  Unless there is something glaringly obvious I’m not doing?  

 

I make an export to the same folder creating “jpeg” subfolder. Nothing I do will make the jpeg folder appear.  In order to do that I have to navigate to it in finder, and open a file from there.

 

This is in bridge 16, but it's been the same for 2 years.  I’m on sonoma 14.4
