Digikam duplicate folder in place of moving it

[Maik Qualmann]

You cannot import a folder that is within the digiKam collection; this will be 
checked. If you import a folder from an external source, the source folder 
will of course not be deleted. It is an import function, not a folder move 
function. Use a file manager to move the folder.

Within digiKam, you can copy or move albums using drag and drop.
