Description Alex Peters 2014-01-20 23:47:23 UTC

Selecting an SMB network share in the file chooser window for the purpose of setting up a new collection appears to succeed, but the share is not added as a collection.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open digiKam configuration and move to Collections pane.
2.  Click "Add Collection" next to "Collections on Network Shares," select a path within a network share (e.g. "smb://diskstation/home/digikam") and click OK.
Actual Results:  
digiKam does not ask for the collection's name, and nothing is added under the "Collections on Network Shares" header.

Expected Results:  
digiKam asks for the collection's name, like it does for "local" collections, and then it is added under the "Collections on Network Shares" header.

Copied from the Ubuntu bug database:

I have assigned "major" severity on the basis that my entire collection of photos is stored on a NAS device, and without the ability to add a collection from a network share, I am unable to use the software at all.

I'm seeing the same issue with version 4.6.0 on Fedora 21.

Comment 3 John Gould 2015-02-23 19:53:52 UTC

Ditto the above.
OpenSUSE 13.1 (x86_64)

Created attachment 91277 [details]
addcollection.patch

DigiKam does currently not support "smb://" URLs. Samba shares must be locally mounted. With this patch, an error message is now displayed again.
