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. <br>

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

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

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. <br>
