i have several empty albums in digiKam as a result of using the "import folders" option
for instance, i've imported a folder such as /home/username/public_html/websiteFolder
though some of the sub-directories of that folder contain images, many of them do not. i was expecting the function to find images and import them-- for digiKam to then display only those folders which contain the images-- but instead, it seems to have imported the entire directory structure, whether images or no images exist.
obviously this does not make for an efficient catalogue of images as it is little different than using Kongqueror to browse every folder, manually looking for image files.
to improve the accuracy of the catalogue, i'm guessing that i would want to delete those empty "albums", but perhpas this is not the recommended approach.
"empty album", or empty "directory" maintenance seems a complicated action because the appearance of an "empty" folder seems misleading-- when selecting to delete it, i receive a confirmation dialogue which reveals subfolders within that "empty" album, which may or may not contain images (as there appears to be no indication either way).
what is the most efficient way to remove the empty directories from the digiKam album list?
how should i approach the "import folder" function in the future to avoid gathering empty directories?
thanks!
