Bug ID: 471394
Summary: cannot create new "Album_" under "AlbumS" from toolbar
menu
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam

album menu cannot create new "album"
SUMMARY
Maybe this belongs under usability-toolbars? I didn't put it there I
hypothesize this limitation is based on something deeper than just the toolbar
presentation
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Highlight `Albums` in the albums list
* eg as a *user* I'm selecting the parent of all my albums
* critically, the *noun* called albumS, which is *plural*
2. now lets make a new album_ under albumS: open the `Album` menu
3. `new album` is greyed out ... huh?
OBSERVED RESULT
EXPECTED RESULT
I should be able to create a new album at any level though the album menu.
If not, don't call it an album; it should either be labeled `Collection` as the
docs variously seem to use (??), a "root album" etc ...
*as a user* If I want to create a new one of the `[NOUN]s` I expect to click
`[NOUN] --> new [NOUN]`. The UI advertises this flow, but requires a user to
discover the "setup" based [RE]configure digikam to add a new (root) album,
AFAICT. *as a user* why would I want to do that - i _already configured
digikam_ I don't want to do it again!
If the devs are adamant about about keeping this convoluted flow to make a new
(db level?) "album" - then stop describing `album` | ~`root-album` |
`collection` interchangeably in the docs, since they are not interchangeable.
