    File and folder heirarchy problem


    Trying to consolidate music files on a SSD. First picture shows top file heirarchy (D:) Second pix shows result when clicking on file selected in pix 1. Third pix shows result of clicking on folder in pix 2. No tracks appear in pix 3.
    I can play the files in the folder of pix 2 by right-click and "play with VLC". VLC shows and plays all the tracks in the pix 2 folder.
    Why can't I see the tracks contained in the folder?

    Third pix shows result of clicking on folder in pix 2. No tracks appear in pix 3.
    No, pix 3 shows the result of a search. What is shown if you simply open the folder instead of searching?

    From what i am seeing to your folder is empty it will not really show up the file that you needed. Possible reason it that you may have deleted them or moved them in a different folder location

    Denis nailed it. I need to click the folder then choose "open" in the dropdown. Wow, do I feel foolish!

    Or just double-click on the folder.
