digiKam supports only one library path. That means all images visible in 
digiKam have to me in that library path. Import copies the images to the 
library. Just when you are importing fruit, you want the actual fruit, not 
some link to it ;-)

The database will always simply reflect what is on disk.

Try the tagview on the left.
