In the .kobo/kobo directory, edit the file Kobo eReader.conf. If you are using Windows, use a text editor that preserves the line ending such as Notepad++.

Under [FeatureSettings] put in the following,..

Code:
[FeatureSettings]
ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)
This will stop Nickel from scanning any directory that starts with a . such as .kobo and subdirectories.

Thank you for the comments. I'm already using this setting. But it seems it can only prevent kobo for scanning the folders with dot.

I want the other folders in the root like sleep, pictures won't be scanned.

You could make it .sleep or edit the regex to include sleep.

Also, if this is supposed to be images for the screensaver, you create a directory called screensaver under the .kobo directory. No need for a sleep directory.
