[Digikam-users] Import existing folder

[Andi Clemens]

First of all you need KDE4 libs (maybe the whole desktop to make sure all the 
necessary dependencies are installed).
All of the libs (except lensfun, but this is an optional package anyway) 
should be included in the KDE4 desktop installation, at least this is the 
case for my linux distribution. Here in Archlinux I get fresh KDE4 packages 
weekly, but since I develop for digiKam I compile all mentioned libs by 
myself...
