Hi,

I"m a new digiKam user and love the nice piece of software. Thank you!!

I'm trying to import some pictures from a local directory. I knew there's an option to allow you to import files from a USB drive into your library and add them into dated sub-albums. But when I import files from a local directory, digiKam just moved the directory into my library without giving me the Import dialog.

So in this situation, how do I reorganize them into dated subdirectories? I searched around online for a while but didn't find a way to do this.

I guess it boils down to two questions:
1. How to show the Import dialog for importing local directories in the future?
2. How to reorganize/move existing files that are already in the library into dated sub-album/directories?

Thanks again!!
