Obviously this would clarify the matter - and I accept Digikam uses 
'albums' in it's own way - I would rather it used the word in the way 
others used it.
The 'tags' view is more like albums except albums should be created by 
the user  just as photo albums or scrap albums, portfolios etc are. 
Having permanebt 'albums' in this sense would be a plus for Digikam, I feel.

Thanks for your response -  I am quite happy to let the matter drop - 
but It will always be a little problem with Digikam for me.
Otherwise Digikam is becoming an excellent tool in Linux.
