I often use Digikams geo tagging features, so this is an important feature
for me. You do an incredible good and important job for the
community. So please take your time and do it right even if it takes
longer :)
And put a Flattr button into your ppa page.

I think i found the issue. When starting from command line, digikam says:
digikam(9590)/digikam (core) Digikam::CollectionScanner::scanAlbum: Folder
does not exist or is not readable:  "/home/hph/Fotos/Fotos/digicam" 

This is true, the collections are in "/home/hph/Fotos/digicam"
Don't know how this happened. How can i correct this?

Probably it has soemthing to do with the way i mount the SSD with the
digikam collection. Its an extra SSD mounted under /mnt/ssd and
then /mnt/ssd/Fotos is re-mounted ('bind') to /home/hph/Fotos. This worked
fine since years.
