ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
As I am a longtime digiKam user, I have gotten used to it and ignore the
situation; however, I believe one of the main stumbling blocks to digiKam
beginners and which may be cause for many giving up in confusion is the use of
the names "Collection" and "Album"; both of which are simple plain old Folders
or Directories, depending on your preference.
Instead of "Manage Collections" , "Add a Collection" and what not, and then
whatever Collection is added is then found as an "Album" in the Albums tree, I
believe it would benefit potential new users if both "Collections" and "Albums"
were simply called what they actually are = Folders or Directories.
It is just an idea - thanks for considering it.
