    The scanning status for the individual folders in the Browser section is indicated by the color of the icons:

    • A red icon means that this folder is currently being scanned.
    • A light grey icon means this folder has been scanned.
    Orange folder icons are displayed when a scanning process was interrupted.
    • Yellow icons are displayed for folders that have not been scanned.
    • If “Stop scanning folders when closing MediaBay” is activated in the Preferences dialog (MediaBay page), Cubase Essential will scan for media files only when the MediaBay window is open. When this is deactivated, the folders will be scanned in background, even when the MediaBay window is closed. Even if scanning in background is activated, Cubase Essential will not scan folders while playing back or recording
