First of all, when 'replying' to a message, you might want to remove
everything not relevant to your question/reply...

Second, with Digikam, you have to tell it where to find your images:
use the "Settings"->"Configure digikam" menu item, and then go to
"Collections" in the left column, and click "Add Collection" on the line
with "Local Collections". Then select the proper folder where you have
stored your images (highest level, subdirectories will be automatically
included and presented as 'albums'). As digikam will need to scan that
directory to to find all images, it doesn't just use the whole hard disk.

3.5.0 isn't the newest version, but still very useable for browsing a
collection and edit some images. The newest version is 4.2.0, but for me it
(still) has several problems while editing images.
