thing. For photos on the computer, you add that location as a
'Collection' to digiKam, you do not 'Import' them. Importing will
make a copy of the images and is used to bring in photos from an
external source eg camera or flash card etc.

I do have all the required permissions, like can read and write

drives, so can't be that. I did in between writing back and
forth get
<br>
Digikam to find the Photos folder, click to import and all that
was
<br>
imported was the main folder, "Photos" no sub folders and it has
<br>
duplicated the Photos folder about 40 times, each folder called
photos
<br>
being a sub folder of the previous!
<br>
<br>
Have spent hours on this and about ready to just delete all and
<br>
everything associated with DigiKam and look for something that
works,
<br>
unless you can convince me otherwise. I see I am not alone with
this
<br>
same problem

maybe some more information about the hard drive(s), system
setup and
<br>
what "ALL found suggestions" that are not working are?
<br>
<br>
Besides the suggested mount possibility I would think about
permissions
<br>
as a first step. You might have tried that, if running digikam
as root
<br>
does find the drive/ folders it would suggest a permission
problem.
<br>
Another try is to right click on one of the images in your
folder and
<br>
"open with" digikam. At least you'd then know whether digikam
can
<br>
actually "see" the images or not.
