Beginner question - how to see my pictures

Question

Just installed bridge. Added my folder called 'libraries' to favorites.

This folder has several sub folders, and pictuures.

I do not see the pictures.

How do I tell bridge to "scan" this folder?

is this supposed to happen automatically?

Can I see the scan progress?

The beginner guide is stupid. It starts by telling you advanced stuff, but no word about how to get your desktop pictures into bridge

Do you have a panel labeled "Content" visible?

This is where you should see things.

If it's not there you could try right clicking on the workspace you are currently using and choose "Reset".

Do you see your subfolders there?

Try clicking on a subfolder to open it then you should see your images.

Or try selecting your main folder "libraries" then choose "View" in the top bar and select "Show Items from Subfolders".

Any good?

If none of this works you will need to provide much more information.

For a start, which operating system and version of Bridge are you using? How did you install it?

Someone else may well chip in with more solid advice for you.
