[digiKam-users] strange naming behavior when moving albums + album tree not moving

[Daniel Bauer-2]

Good morning,

There are two things a bit annoying when moving a folder:

1) I have a large album tree. Now when I want to move an album to
another album that is outside of the current shown part of the tree, I'd
expect that the tree is moving up or down when I come to it's border,
but it doesn't. So I cannot move that album within digikam. (*1 see
below if I haven't explained it clear :-) )

2) So I open the "mother-album" album in dolphin and drag the
to-be-moved-album to the new "mother-album" in digikam and say click
"move" in dolphin.

Now the moved album gets the name of its original mother-album instead
the name of the moved album and I must rename it. That's strange, isn't it?

Can I change those behaviors somehow r should I file a bug, or two?

This is digikam 6.0.0. on OpenSuse 15.1, KDE.

*1) more detailed about moving to not-visible folder:

complete tree:

album1 (outside visible tree on screen)
--------- visible part of the tree:
album2
album3
album4
---------
album5 (outside visible tree on screen)

I want to drag and drop album2 to album1 or album 5. When I drag up or
down over the end of the visible tree-part I expect that the tree view
moves so that 1 or 5 come into visible and I can drop the album. But the
tree stays fix and  cannot reach album 1 or 5. So I can not use
drag/drop of an album within the album tree of digikam, poided the
destination album is outside of the visible tree part.

* 2) more detailed about wrong naming of dropped folder:

in dolphin:

mother-album
    daughter-album

in digikam album tree view:

destination-album
    dest-sub1
    dest-sub2

now I grab "daughter-album" in dolphin, move the mouse over
"destination-album" in digikam, drop it there and chose "move".

now the moved album is called "mother-album" instead of "daughter-album":

destination-album
    dest-sub1
    dest-sub2
    mother-album

(the original "mother-album" stays un-altered and the moved
"daughter-album" disappears from it's original place, as it should. It
just gets the wrong name at the destination.)

This problem has been fixed in current digikam versions.
