query about picasa

I have a problem with this program.

Say I have pictures in a folder, DIGITAL.

Ok, when I run Picasa, I would like it to automatically scan that folder so
that any pictures I put in there will show up. But it doesn't do that. I
check the box to scan it once and click OK. Then it will scan it, but it
doesn't retain that setting. Next time I run Picasa, it just has the old
pictures from DIGITAL. It doesn't scan the folder so again I have to set it
to do that. Isn't there some way it should retain those settings??

What does the "Tools | Picture Manager" pane have for selected options?

Scan Once
Remove from Picasa
Watch for changes

I would like it to scan every time.

I guess I can try the watch for changes.

I tried the last choice and that worked.

I guess the choices were not clear to me, but it makes sense now.

Thanks for the hint.

They first thought they could confuse me, then they thought they could
confuse you, but not both of us in the same week. Your query couldn't
have better timing, I had the same question only a day or two ago.

You have to set it for "watch" which puts a little eye in front of the file
name.
