Elements 2022 Organizer catalog icon has binocular

Report · Apr 06, 2022

Hi All,

When updating the catalog in Organizer 2022 it skipped a particular subfolder no matter what I did. Finally tried bulk import. That worked, but the folder icon has a binocular as part of the icon. What does that mean? Also, why did the organizer consistantly skip one particular subfolder out of the tree I told it to scan?

My folder tree is e:/pictures/... with years 2000 through 2022. It always skipped the 2022 folder. There are other folders past 2022 that it did pick up.

The binocular icon indicates that the folder is a watched folder.

How were you trying to import the folder that you say has been skipped? Are you getting any message such as the files have been skipped because they are already in the Organizer? This will happen if you have duplicate copies of the files in another folder. In theory, if the files are already in the catalog, duplicate copies in another folder will be skipped. If this is not the case, we need more details.

Also, make sure that your My Folders panel is in the Tree View:
