Description Markus Golser 2013-03-21 08:30:57 UTC

I have two albums /home/markus/Bilder (name Bilder) and /home/markus/BilderRemote/ (name BilderRemote)

If I add a folder in /home/markus/BilderRemote/test/test2

Digikam searches in /home/markus/BilderRemoteRemote/test/test2

thumbnails are not generated. no files are shown inside digikam

Reproducible: Always

I assume you have two collections at the said locations, not albums under one collection /home/markus?
What do you mean by "digikam searches"?

Comment 2 Markus Golser 2013-03-22 07:21:59 UTC

I have two two collections

1. /home/markus/Bilder 
2. /home/markus/BilderRemote

if I add a folder on /home/markus/BilderRemote/test/test2

I get this console output:
digikam(21624)/digikam (core) Digikam::CollectionScanner::scanAlbum: Folder does not exist or is not readable:  "/home/markus/BilderRemoteRemote/test/test2" 

no files are shown, no thumbnails are generated.
Note that BilderRemoteRemote does not exist the foldername is BilderRemote

I add images to two collections with same initial paths 
1) home/swati/Pictures 
2) home/swati/Snaps
Thumbnails are generated for both. Try version 5.0.0

If you think the report is still valid, feel free to re-open.
