Hi again,

If you select the images yourself, you can do it during import to digikam -  
select the images you want, and download them into the desired album, it is 
possible to create a new one for it.

Alternatively, download into digikam, and then use either tags flags to select 
them, or just so a selection holding control while clicking or pressing space 
will allow you to create any selection, then drag them to an album.

You can probably also select them in your file manager and drag them onto a 
digikam album.

Hope this helps :)
