PT10 workspace browser refresh?

[jgbsound]

Hey guys, a quick question. I'm working in an animated series and we had a few re-records for lines.

So I created a new folder and copied the new takes into it. But when I pull up either the workspace or project browser the folder and files don't show up.

I can search for the files because I know the naming convention. But i can't figure out how to refresh the file list.

Any suggestions?

Import the files to your session

Thanks for the suggestion Angelo,

I was actually trying to avoid that. I just want to listen to them through the browser before importing. I have copy files upon import turned on.

My question is, why the folder won't show in the global workspace browser is my question.

Isn't that the purpose of having the separate browser windows? The project browser just opens from the project's folder, while the global browser will be able to look at all the drives?

Why the folder isn't showing up at all leads me it believe that this is a design flaw in ProTools.

Much teeth-gnashing by Pro Tools 11 users there. I haven't used the workspace browser enough to tell you what's going on, but I have seen drive and file folder refresh issues with Pro Tools before. Sometimes quitting and re-launching will cause the program to refresh the drive or folder, and that's been going on for many years.

Usually when I change the hierarchy of folders and want to see the change in pro tools I have to right click the folder I want to refresh in the workspace browser and select "update database for selected". That might do it

Thanks guys I put in a question to the avid community as well. I'll give these ideas a try!
