'Synchronize folder' is only for new files and not folders?

Just a quick question, I just found this 'synchronize folder' and when I click it it seems to only update new files but not new folders, is there a way to make it find new folders?

My photo hierarchy is like this:

-Photos
--2013
--2014
--2015
---- folderproject1
---- folderproject2
---- newfolderproject3


Clicking synchronize on 2015 should try and import 'newfolderproject3', but apparently not. I had to import it manually(?)

  You're right, syncing works after importing (if I'm not mistaking)
  So first import, including subfolders, after that syncing will work.

  Hi,
  
  That is right the synchronize folder feature can be used to import additional images in that folder, it's useful if additional images have been added to a folder after importing and the catalog requires updating. Deleted images can also be removed from the catalog during this process.

  Ah interesting, I think it would be great if new folders are detected. But anyways, thanks for confirming!

  Discovered the same issue; there is however a bit of a workaround. If you establish new folders, just add them in the hierarchy view then do a sync. If it knows of a folder's existence, it will import files to any folder level. In other words, in your example you would simply add new folder as needed then perform a sync at the highest level. This can save some time if you have a lot of newly categorized new stuff. And agree: it would be nice if sync would just...sync.
