Premier Elements & Elements Organizer

Question

Every time I start a project in Premiere Elements 12, Elements Organizer automatically added to the catalog photos or videos used in the project. I do not want it that way. I do not want the pictures or videos used in the project are added to Elements Organizer. How I can do this?

Premiere Elements 12 and earlier all work off the same principle, that is, you import a file into Premiere Elements workspace and a copy of the file is automatically placed in the Elements Organizer.
The Add Media dialog does not contain an Option not to import the file also into Elements Organizer.
Until proven otherwise, it is what it is.
We might want to talk about Watch Folders and media getting into the Elements Organizer. The following is my last involvement with that type of question when the Watch Folders came up in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1. The principles would be applicable to Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12.

Please check out the above and do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
Thanks.

Add On...I will try to defy "it is what it is" but in this case I think that my first impression targets the matter.
