SOLVED Game Maker Studio 2 cannot see my .jpg images I'm trying to add as a background.

Hello! I am a very old returning user to Game Maker, and I am relearning the whole thing. Not really a fan of the new UI, but here we go. How do I add a background to my game? I've tried clicking on Background Layer Properties and then loading a Sprite from there, but it cannot see any files or images and I don't know why. What am I doing wrong? I have the files in the correct sprite folder, but it can't see any of them so I can't load anything.

On the right menu bar, it doesn’t look like you made any sprites. Just to clarify, you know you have to first make a sprite file and then assign the image file to it, right? Once you make the sprite, it should show up in the sprite selection for the background.

Yea that's what I did, but it wasn't showing up and I wasn't sure why. I think it failed to load? Once I got one working they are all working.

Years ago I made the leap from GM 8 to GMS2 and I had the exact same feeling. Takes a while to get used to it, but now, I love it.
