Kimi,
Yes, but is very slow for large file systems. Try it out on a smaller folder with subfolders and pictures or give it lots of time. On my WInXP 2Gb RAM, 3Gh processor it seems to take about 5-10 minutes.
In the Filter Panel (left hand side), there is a little icon of a folder. Position the mouse over the folder icon and you will see a pop-up that will tell what it will do if you click and it basically toggles between something like "show me this folder only" and "show me this folder and all sub folders".
I just tried it out and even on a small folder/subfolder with about 200 pictures, it is not blazingly fast.
When I first started CS3, I hated bridge because I couldnt see everything at once, probably clicked that thinh more than once and it just takes too long for it to act.
Bridge is a File Browser that does it all on the fly. And that makes it slow. When I downloaded and tested Lr I liked the speed at which it does things, but it is a cataloging/import system like Organzer in PSE4/5.
