Problem exporting images to local computer

[Maik Qualmann]

The behavior you describe, where only one document icon is displayed in the 
list, occurs when the network collection is not "Online".
You certainly can't open the preview of the image with a double click.
Check why the path to the network collection is not found by digiKam.
If it is available in Explorer, then use the collection "update" function 
(round circle icon button next to the relevant collection) in the digiKam 
settings under Collections. You can probably simply confirm all dialogs again.
