Digikam version 3.5: Cannot open the root. It is not a physical location.
run digiKam version 3.5 on opensuse 13.1
i wonder if i can see images that are not (!!) in a album!?
Why am i not able to do so?
all i can see are images that are associated to an album;
why cant i open images in the document root of my opensuse version 13.1?
if i try to open an Album with the dolphin - i get back the result:
Cannot open the root. It is not a physical location.
WHY IS THIS SO!?
