[digiKam-users] How to add icons to albums?

[Thomas D]

OK. Is it possible to have an option to show the icons even when folders
are below 22 pixels? I think my screenshot demonstrates that it is indeed
useful at even 16x16 px icons in that even just a color makes it much
easier to find the right folder when you are sorting through photos putting
them into various albums.
