            Bug ID: 446347
           Summary: In advanced search the Album Filter does not include
                    Sub-Albums (maybe Feature Request)
           Product: digikam
           Version: 7.4.0
          Platform: macOS (DMG)
                OS: macOS
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Searches-Advanced

Screenshot showing selection of parent Album

Advanced search filter for "File, Album, Tags" -> Album searches only in "root
Folder" of selected Album, but not in Sub-Albums.
E.g. with this Album Structure:
- xNef
        - 2016 12
        - 2017 02       

Selecting xNef as "Search items located in" the search result will only include
pictures in xNef, but not from the sub-albums 2016 12 or 2017 02.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. select Search from left hand pane
2. Advanced Search
3. Clear all existing Filters (if any)
4. In Section "File, Album, Tags" select in "Album" "Search items located in" a
specific Album which has a substructure
5. Press "Try"


OBSERVED RESULT
Sub-Albums are excluded from the search.

EXPECTED RESULT
All Sub-Albums are included in the search
This would allow an easier filtering of pictures in structures. Instead of
having to select every single "Sub-Album" only the root Album needs to be
selected. Especially when a search is saved and new items are added to the
sub-structure one always has to remember to update the saved searches.
