Sentry Crash Report:

Description Dan Callahan 2018-07-20 21:28:02 UTC 
I am unable to save searches in Digikam 5.9.0, using both the AppImage and Fedora's package of Digikam. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the "Search" tab in the left panel
2. Enter a search query (e.g., "2012")
3. Enter a name for the search (e.g., "Foo")
4. Press Return or click the save button next to "Save Current Search"

Expected Results:

5. A new saved search named "Foo" appears in search panel.

Actual Results:

5. Nothing happens.
6. The following text appears in the console:

   digikam.general: name =  "Foo"
   digikam.general: no current album, returning

Other Notes:

- Saving searches in the Timeline panel does work.
- This appears to be failing because d->currentAlbum is false-y at https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/utilities/searchwindow/searchtabheader.cpp?h=v5.9.0#n482
- I also see the same problem with the latest pre-release build (6.0.0-git-20180707T160254)

This feels like it must be some kind of user error, but I can't for the life of me work out what's going wrong, and there's no visible feedback in the UI to help discern what the problem is.

Git commit 8b06fe8f2d891998a1b0d8da254c822cd2e707bf by Maik Qualmann.
Committed on 20/07/2018 at 22:01.
Pushed by mqualmann into branch 'master'.

set the current search album when the search tab is activated
Because of a change in the start of digiKam that we block the signals of the tree views,
no current album will be set when starting digikam, because that speeds up the start
FIXED-IN: 6.0.0

Note: as workaround for digiKam-5.9.0, select a saved search beforehand.
