Watch Folders : This
functionality is a little hidden in Elements Organizer (File>Watch
Folders) and not many know about it usefulness. It is one quick way to
get media into your Organizer catalog without bothering about manually
importing into it.
To use it, just make the parent folder (of all your photo folders) as the watch folder and it auto imports the media into your Organizer catalog. As soon as any new picture is added to your watch folder in windows explore or to any child of your watch folder, it would be auto-imported to your Organizer catalog.
For example, mostly all my pictures are dumped to one of following three folders (shown in screenshot). So i have made all three as my watch folders. Hence I never need to import any media to my Organizer catalog.
Awesomeness is added if you say exchange photos or receive photos through dropbox. You can add dropbox as your watch folder. Hence all media comes to your Organizer catalog automatically.
