[digiKam-users] Use an existing folder as collection

[Gilles Caulier]

No you cannot. A root album will be parsed in recursive mode.

I recommend to cut your sub collections as different root albums and select
the dir to import.

Other solution : import all and re-organize all sub directories in digiKam.
