Then there is a tree navigator panel showing the selected view. The main image window is right in the center.

+ <para>&digikam;'s main window has up to four areas in the center for control, selection and showing results (here showing only two). They are surrounded by the menu bar and the tool bar at the top, the staus bar at the bottom and the left and right side bar. The left sidebar lets you switch between 8 views: Albums (shown here), Tags, Labels, Dates, Timeline, Search, Fuzzy (Search) and People (Tags). In the center we see here the icon area, showing thumnails of the content of the selected album, and the preview area, showing the selected image. In the top left corner of the preview we have a few buttons for moving back and forth through the content of the album, for rotating the image, for showing or adding face tags and to switch to fullscreen mode. And on the right hand side there is another <link linkend="using-sidebar">sidebar</link> shown. This one can be used to show all information about your images.

An Album will be created with the same name as the hard disk folder. You can use drag and drop to import a folder. Drag a folder icon, for example from a &konqueror; window. Then drop it on the album list on the left. A menu will appear that gives you the option to move or copy the folder into &digikam;.
