Hi,

I am currently trialing Adobe Elements Organizer 2026 on a Windows 11 PC.

I have the Pictures Library monitored as a watch folder, but would like to remove one folder in the library from the watch list.

Is this possible, while still allowing new Pictures library folders to be automatically added to the watch list?

Delete that complete directory from the watch list.

FROM WITHIN YOUR COMPUTER FIL EXPLORER: Move or delete the folder in question.

Go back into organizer and re add the directory.

OK, so when I initially setup Organizer, I selected the Pictures library folder, which it then recursively imported all folders inside Pictures, including the folder I now want to exclude - icloud photos.

In the Organizer folder view, the Pictures folder has the watchlist icon displayed, and its child folders dont, but Organizer still auto imports images added to those folders.

Can I turn off the watched folders feature on ‘Pictures’ and enable it on the child folders that I want watched, or i just start from scratch and select only the folders inside Pictures that I want to add to Organizer?

From the Organizer menu go to:

File > watch Folder

Then use the remove and add buttons.
