[digikam] [Bug 424934] Making an album a part of itself will fill the hard-drive with copies of itself
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424934 --- Comment #19 from HJN --- No hard feelings from here. English is not my first language either, so it may have been me that misunderstood. My bad. Sorry. No, I don't have a master folder with all my pictures, which I can use as a collection. That is why I wanted to import other folders, maybe even form another hard drive. Must say you work fast, fixing bugs submitted. For that I give you a 10 / 10 I now consider this bug closed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424934 --- Comment #17 from Maik Qualmann --- Don't get me wrong, it may also be due to my bad English, they weren't meant personally. We often ask users if they want to import a collection, so a generic note if we refer to this bug report. Your bug report was even a duplicate because I didn't understand what the user was doing. Your explanation has brought enlightenment. You have to know that I have never used this function myself. ((:-)) And yes, subfolders selections are also recognized.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424934 --- Comment #16 from caulier.gil...@gmail.com --- HJN, No, Maik do not want to offence you because you use Windows. ... but in general, Linux programmer know all the computer shell, where under Windows, all is hidden. This is why the approach of the problem is different, more technical, and follow a logic which can be obscure for no programmer. We are all here to improve the code, the functionalities, and kill the bugs. digiKam is a huge application with around 20 years of development, and 1.5 M lines of C++ code. It's impossible to test all use-cases. Best Gilles Caulier -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424934 --- Comment #15 from HJN --- I don't think it is polite to call people that submit bugs, for noobs, just be course they use the Windows platform. You have no idea how many years I've been on this platform. You also don't know how I use your program to fit my working style. I try to use programs in ways, you would not imagine, that is why I find bugs. This bug by accident, as I clicked the wrong folder. That out of the way. I'm not a programmer, so please tell me if I'm wrong. To me it looks like the fix you have implemented, is that the program looks for the name* of the folder being imported, and if that name* is already listed as an album, the program will give the user an error message. * by name I mean folder path. But does it also give the error message if you import a parent folder further up the path? Let's say you have your "Picture folder", and inside that folder you have other folders, one of which you make an album. If you now, by accident, import the "Picture folder", you will get the bug. Does the fix stop that? The "Picture folder" is part of the user[name] path, so if you import the user[name] folder, will it stop the bug from happening? * user[name] folder is as far back I have been able to make the bug happen. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to imply you can't fix it. I'm just trying to make sure this bug gets the attention it needs, course it is pretty severe. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424934 --- Comment #14 from Maik Qualmann --- Note: Many new Windows users think they have to import images to digiKam. This is not the case. A parent folder with images can be selected directly in the collection settings. DigiKam automatically reads in all images and subfolders. No images are changed or additional folders or files are created. Maik -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It is a folder I made under the "Users" > "username" folder in Windows. My pc is set up to let Onedrive backup my pc on the run. I have all my pictures stored on a NAT-drive and when I want to edit them, I put them in the "Arbejdsmappe" as it is NOT part of the Onedrive backup. So not a vitual folder. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Let me try to explain again and I have made pictures to help. 1. In digiKam toolbar, open "Settings" > "Configure digiKam". 2. In the dialogbox, click "Collections" > Add Collection" 3. Select a folder and make it an Album (is it an collection or an album?) 4. Click "Import" in the toolbar and open the "Add Folders" dialog box. 5. Select the same folder you just made as an Album. 6. Save the folder into the album you just made. 7. Open Windows Exploror and navigate to the folder you made as an album. 8. Inside that folder, you should now find the "parent folder" to the "album folder". This parent folder contains the "album folder", which again contains the "parent folder" etc etc. 9. Close digiKam to stop the process from running wild. (you can open digiKam later without it starting the prosess again). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
