Create a new directory eg /home/../album2.
Go to Settings/Configure/Collections, click on 'add collection' and select 
/home/../album2.

Now when you start Digikam you can select which album you want, the other 
will be 'hidden'. I think this may be as good as it gets. Anything beyond 
this would require changing the config file.
