I can not confirm this, it is working perfectly fine. 
What I did to test this:

1. create a test folder in digiKam, copy some images in it
2. right-click on the album -> Open in File Manager
3. Rename folder in the file manager
   => digiKam updates the folder
4. Back in digiKam, press F5. 
   => everything is still fine.

Tested with digiKam 1.8.0-svn

Comment 3 Alexandre Racine 2010-12-19 20:17:29 UTC

I did it again with 1.6.0 and the bug still occur.

This is not reproducible for digikam5.0.0-beta6.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new folder in digiKam & add some images.
2. Right-click on the album -> Open in File Manager
3. Renamed folder in File Manager.
4. Press F5 in digiKam.

Folder still exists and the name is changed.

Comment 7 caulier.gilles 2016-05-31 11:20:06 UTC

Not reproducible here too...

In fact we have dropped KDirWatch in favor of Qt5::QFileSystemWatcher to follow changes from media.
