Sorry I only got your message. Looks like my Gmail glitched.
Do you use any batch scripts to import pictures to your collection?
The root of your collection is the folder you pointed as "Collection" in digiKam settings. So if you set /home/user/pictures as "Collection" your folders would be /home/user/pictures/photos/photos/photos...photos

Hello again
Got back sooner than I
thought. Attached is the screen shot you asked for. This comes
up as soon as Digikam starts
When
you email me back, in addition to your helpful suggestion/s
to fix the problem, can you tell me where on my computer all
these "Photos" folder/files are, then I can go there and
delete. If I try and delete within Digikam, I get a grayed
computer
screen on and off (slowly) but no
deletions
Await
your reply with interest, many thanks

Hi Andrew
I
did use the "Collection" way but all
I go was the 'head" folder so to speak, none of the
sub-folders or individual photo/image files, any
suggestions on why this happened

OK, this sounds like you are trying to do the wrong
thing. For photos on the computer, you add that location as a
'Collection' to digiKam, you do not 'Import' them. Importing
will make a copy of the images and is used to bring in photos
from an external source eg camera or flash card etc.

Hi
I do have all the required permissions, like can read and
write to all
drives, so can't be that. I did in between writing back and
forth get
Digikam to find the Photos folder, click to import and all
that was
imported was the main folder, "Photos" no sub folders and it
has
duplicated the Photos folder about 40 times, each folder
called photos
being a sub folder of the previous!
Have spent hours on this and about ready to just delete all
and
everything associated with DigiKam and look for something that
works,
unless you can convince me otherwise. I see I am not alone
with this
same problem

Hi
Have just installed Digikam 5 on Ubuntu, my photo folder
in on a
separate drive (within the computer, not external USB etc)
and Digikam
can't "see" the other drive, just only sees the system
drive so can't
import. Any chance of a suggestion, if so, greatly
appreciated
Have tried ALL found suggestions, nothing works for me!
Gregory
maybe some more information about the hard drive(s), system
setup and
what "ALL found suggestions" that are not working are?
Besides the suggested mount possibility I would think about
permissions
as a first step. You might have tried that, if running
digikam as root
does find the drive/ folders it would suggest a permission
problem.
Another try is to right click on one of the images in your
folder and
"open with" digikam. At least you'd then know whether
digikam can
actually "see" the images or not.
