If the parent folder is selected, digikam return nothing. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Album structure: 2020/01/test1.jpg /02/test2.jpg 2. In advanced search: album: 2020-->01, search field: test1.jpg --> return the file 3. In advanced search: album field: 2020, search field: test1.jpg --> return nothing. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT I would expect we can select a folder in ablum field, digikam will search all subfolders.

Only the selected albums are searched. You can right-click the parent album and choose to select automatically also the child albums as well.

Otherwise, I can just select the subfolder itself, not the parent folder. The only situation I can think of to exclude the subfolders is if the parent folder also contain photos, then it makes sense to select the folder but excludes the subfolders. Thanks, Joseph 2000586 3 metzpinguin 2021-02-06 12:47:12 +0000 The behavior is the same in all album selectors in digiKam. Surely we could reverse the behavior and one would have to deselect children's albums. But long-time digiKam users know the behavior no different. Maik
