Folder visibility in Linux Mint

Using Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon
XnView has no problem seeing subfolders in my Home directory, or additional folders in the onboard storage. However, a plug-in USB drive does not show up at all in the left-hand navigation pane.
Is there a setting that would make files and folders on the USB drive visible?
Thanks!

Thanks for the push! I did a more thorough look, being new to Linux's file system and the locations shown in XNview's folder tree.
Was expecting something more like what's shown in Nemo or Windows File Manager. I did find the external drive & its folders under media/<username>/<volume name>.
All is good, now that I know where to look. Again, thanks.

I'm fairly sure that at one time XnView MP did display inserted USB drives by default, clicking down through the Mint file tree is quite a pain...
I recall that due to the less frequent updates to the Flatpak version at the time, users installing the Flatpak version were reporting that they couldn't view inserted drives, when the issue had been resolved for some time in the DEB version.
