Looking at the screenshot looks like you are trying to import instead of adding a collection ...Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Screenshot 1 shows Collections appears to be empty, so I'm adding one. Screenshot 2 shows that appears to be working, then in Screenshot 3 an error message that I hope you'll be able to interpret.

 

If I look again at Collections settings, it's still as in Screenshot 1.

Thanks very much for that advice. When I do that (in Preferences - Collections), I get a dialog box with "No default target album have been selected to process download from camera device. Please select one." That's what prompted me to try to create a new album - but the New option is greyed.

Make sure your pictures folder has been added to Collections. You can check that in Settings- Collections

I've installed Digikam 5.9.0 on my Macbook and hit a problem that prevents me even getting started. I've selected the folder that contains all my pictures, but the initial scan process doesn't seem to be happening. I've tried Tools/Maintenance/Scan for new items, which goes through the motions, but doesn't seem to find any new items. I've tried to create a new album, but the new option is greyed out. I think there's something really simple that I don't know - please point me in the right direction.
