My scripts panel is not showing scripts or folders

Community Beginner ,

I'm new to InDesign scripting. My script panel does not have the "Application" or "User" folders (or anything else). There also appears to be no option to load scripts either on the panel menu or elsewhere. I've put the script in the Scripts folder of both Library/Preferences/Indesign and /Applications/InDesign, but I don't see it. Any  ideas?

Incidentally, if there are Adobe reps reading this: this is a UX problem. I should be able to load scripts by simply choosing an option on a menu--there are too many unnecessary acrobatics involved here.

Thank you.

Hi,

     Place the scripts in "Script Panel" folder and check.

    For Mac,

     /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS6/Scripts/Scripts Panel

     For PC, search the script panel path inside the application InDesign version and place the scripts and check it in InDesign.

Seems you can't even see the scripts shipped with InDesign. Try trashing your preferences, have a look at the link below on how to do it

If this does not work you could even try removing your cache files, look at the following link
