Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources Root album can be massive structure with some things not related with photos. It should be hard or impossible to remove it directly from Album tree. 1) from context menu don't allow for "Moving to trash" but only "Remove collection" with message: This album will be removed from your collection list, all files are still on your medium. Additionally at the moment is funny situation: after moving of root album to trash real files are not accessible but album is Album list, all miniatures are visible and can even see preview of several of them which were previewed earlier. Situation is fixed only after removing collection from Settings dialog.
SVN commit 893984 by mwiesweg: Disable renaming and deleting for album root albums. We can later add a shortcut to the collection setup dialog. CCBUG: 177093 M +13 -8 albumfolderview.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=893984
The critical bug part of this is fixed by removing the relevant entries from the context menu, I leave this as a wish to add functionality of the setup collections dialog to the context menu of albumfolderview.
Please, disable also access to properties dialog. Playing with that for root album leads to vanishing of root album and even crash of digiKam. Reproduce: a) open Album properties b) change title c) I get message 'cannot change root album name' d) root album vanishes from display e) go to settings->collection f) select vanished collection, click OK -> crash Backtrace: Application: digiKam (digikam), signal SIGSEGV [?1034h[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [Current thread is 1 (Thread 0xb4c966d0 (LWP 32506))] Thread 11 (Thread 0xb3768b90 (LWP 32508)): #0 0xffffe430 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb6334b95 in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 #2 0xb63920b2 in QWaitCondition::wait () from /usr/lib/qt4/lib/libQtCore.so.4 #3 0x08265659 in Digikam::ScanController::run () #4 0xb6391320 in ??
