If you could record your screen and share the video with us that would help to understand the issue.
I have never seen anything like that.

    Hi Andrew
    I
            did use the "Collection" way but all I
              go was the 'head" folder so to speak, none of the
              sub-folders or individual photo/image files, any
              suggestions on why this happened

    OK, this sounds like you are trying to do the wrong
      thing. For photos on the computer, you add that location as a
      'Collection' to digiKam, you do not 'Import' them. Importing will
      make a copy of the images and is used to bring in photos from an
      external source eg camera or flash card etc.

      Hi
        

        

        I do have all the required permissions, like can read and write
        to all
        

        drives, so can't be that. I did in between writing back and
        forth get
        

        Digikam to find the Photos folder, click to import and all that
        was
        

        imported was the main folder, "Photos" no sub folders and it has
        

        duplicated the Photos folder about 40 times, each folder called
        photos
        

        being a sub folder of the previous!
        

        

        Have spent hours on this and about ready to just delete all and
        

        everything associated with DigiKam and look for something that
        works,
        

        unless you can convince me otherwise. I see I am not alone with
        this
        

        same problem

          Hi
            

            Have just installed Digikam 5 on Ubuntu, my photo folder in
            on a
            

            separate drive (within the computer, not external USB etc)
            and Digikam
            

            can't "see" the other drive, just only sees the system drive
            so can't
            

            import. Any chance of a suggestion, if so, greatly
            appreciated
            

            Have tried ALL found suggestions, nothing works for me!
            

            Gregory
            

            

          
          maybe some more information about the hard drive(s), system
          setup and
          

          what "ALL found suggestions" that are not working are?
          

          

          Besides the suggested mount possibility I would think about
          permissions
          

          as a first step. You might have tried that, if running digikam
          as root
          

          does find the drive/ folders it would suggest a permission
          problem.
          

          Another try is to right click on one of the images in your
          folder and
          

          "open with" digikam. At least you'd then know whether digikam
          can
          

          actually "see" the images or not.
