Digikam version 3.5: Cannot open the root. It is not a physical location.

Digikam version 3.5: Cannot open the root. It is not a physical location.




run digiKam version 3.5  on opensuse 13.1


i wonder if i can see images that are not (!!) in a album!?

Why am i not able to do so?

all i  can see are images that are associated to an album;

why cant i open images in the document root of my opensuse version  13.1?

if i try to open an Album with the dolphin - i get back the result:


Cannot open the root. It is not a physical location.


WHY IS THIS SO!?

Why do I find the *exact same question* in two other locations (without all
the junk that was left attached here...)?

(http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/applications/202873-digikam-version-3-5-cannot-open-root-not-physical-locati.html and
http://superuser.com/questions/811699/digikam-version-3-5-cannot-open-the-root-it-is-not-a-physical-location)


But that you can only see images within albums is normal, it's how Digikam
is designed to work.

As for the problem with Dolphin: ask in a Dolphin list?
