What are Watch Folders? (Windows only)

If you have the newest version of Photoshop Elements, version 3.0, you won't find any information in the Help files about Watch Folders. Why? I couldn't tell you. But here is all the information you need to know. The Organizer in Photoshop Elements 3.0 can automatically import files into the current catalog from any folder on the local system's hard disk by utilizing the Watch Folders feature. To set up or modify your Watch Folders, from the Organizer, go to the File menu -> Watch Folders... This will bring up the Watch Folders dialog box, which allows you to specify folders and sub-folders that you'd like the Organizer to 'watch.' You can choose to be notified when new files are ready to be imported or have new images automatically imported without notification. By default, the 'My Pictures' folder is set as the default watched folder, and 'Notify' is set as the new files import option. This feature is useful if you use third-party software to download files from a camera or to manage files that are being created or edited in applications other than Elements and are always saved to the same location.

Watching Folders is great, but does not work on Mapped or Network drives.
I have a NAS server with all my 20000 pictures that is accesible from the internet and from my 4 home-pc's. Importing pictures from my Mapped drive (i always map it to Z:\ on all my pc's) DOES work. Adding it (or one of it's dubdirectories) as a watched folder does NOT work.
A pity because that was one of the reasons i bought the upgrade 2.0->3.0
In Picasa it seems to work perfect, but i dislike picasa because it does not want to "save" my changes in the picture. [it keeps a history of changes in the picasa.ini files].
Combining those 2 softwares would be the best!
Maybe wait for picasa 3.0 or PSE4.0 ??
