That's not how it seems to work for me, if it *was* how it worked I'd
be very happy!

I have my digikam with its top level album in /home/chris/pictures. 
If I add "/tmp/pictures" and select that in "Add Collection" I just
get *both* /home/chris/pictures and /tmp/pictures in My Albums.

I can't select either /home/chris/pictures or /tmp/pictures when
digikam is started and have the other hidden.
