A <br>
collection in digiKam is therefore a higher-level folder in which images and <br>
sub-folders are located. So you don't necessarily have to import images, you <br>
can simply copy the images into your images folder, create subdirectories <br>
according to events or dates, as you like. digiKam will then find all images <br>
at startup if the digiKam collection points to this folder and will display <br>
the albums / folders and images after a while. digiKam does not move images <br>
into the database, but rather scans only the metadata of the images and adds <br>
them to the database. <br>
