            Bug ID: 348347
           Summary: Can't create albums - menu is greyed out
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.0.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Albums View
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: chrisb2244 at gmail.com

digiKam opens. 
Possibly of note, output includes 

'digikam.general: Folder does not exist or is not readable:
"file:/home/christian/Pictures" '

The folder does exist. Permissions are:
    $ ls -ld /home/christian/Pictures/
    drwxr-xr-x 3 christian christian 4096 May 28 13:58
/home/christian/Pictures/
    $ ls -l /home/christian/Pictures/
    total 88
    -rw-r--r-- 1 christian christian 66560 May 28 13:58 digikam4.db
    drwxr-xr-x 2 christian christian  4096 May 22 18:17 Experiments
    -rw-r--r-- 1 christian christian 16384 May 28 13:58 thumbnails-digikam.db

Running 
    $ sqlite3 -line thumbnails-digikam.db 'pragma integrity_check;'
gives
    integrity_check = ok

digiKam is 5.0.0-git.

Clicking on the 'Album' menu within digiKam opens the menu list, but all
options are greyed out.

Using 'Import -> Cameras -> camera(auto-detected)' brings up a window into
which pictures on the camera load. Clicking one of these, then selecting
'Download selected'  opens a window to select the album to save into - no
albums are listed, and clicking the button 'New Album' does nothing.

I'm sure this is some problem I've created for myself with a poor installation,
but some help or tips to debug would be appreciated.

As a possible additional note (although probably unrelated): When I close
digiKam, either using the (x) at the top right, or with the 'Browse -> Quit'
button, the konsole in which I opened digiKam reports:
    libkdcraw: Cancel Main Thread
    libkdcraw: Cancel Main Thread
    Segmentation fault


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open digiKam
2. Try to create new folder, etc
3.

Actual Results:  
Greyed out menu for 'Album'

Expected Results:  
Allow the creation of new albums, either from the main application, or
subsequent menus such as the 'Import' menu after selecting photographs to
download

digiKam from git, along with KF5, Qt5 installations.

No Qt4 on the system.
No MySQL on the system - digiKam built with support only for sqlite3.
Some optional libraries for digiKam are not installed - cmake reports that I
could additionally use:
  MySQL
  libkgeomap (version >= 5.0.0)
  liblqr-1 (>= 0.4.1)
  doxygen (>= 1.8.0)
  libkdepimlibs (>= 5.0.0)

Unsure where to next look to solve this issue.
Camera is a Nikon V2, supported by libgphoto2. digiKam is happy to autodetect,
although adding it to the cameras tab of the settings is seemingly forgotten
each time - possibly due to the segmentation fault on exit?
