Yes, of course I could to that. Problem is, that I have the same structure on 
several computers, plus DVD's that would get inconsistent in regard of file 
pathes, plus external drives where rsync would delete all files and then write 
them again in the new folder, plus rename encrypted partitions, change fstab, 
cypttab, adjust backup-scripts etc. etc. So quite a piece of work, plus pathes 
getting longer without a real need, and with several 1000 large imgs moving 
folders in digikam is quite a time consuming task, too...

Anyway, I think https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123097 really has some 
importance. There are many other reasons, too, why one would like to exclude 
one or more folders from the digikam album tree...

I also don't see why hidden folders (like .trash) are included by default. 
Hidden should be hidden and ignored by default, shouldn't it? 

Maybe we get some more votes there and/or our dear hardworking digikam 
developpers have a heart for poor album-stressed guys and implement that wish. 
Shouldn't be too much of a task, wouldn't it?

kind regards
