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!?
