ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

No bug, images can only be added when the album view is activated. Click Album in the left sidebar. Have you added a collection of images in the start setup? Otherwise, define an image folder in digiKam Setup under Collections.

As a hint. First time digiKam users think they need to add images first, that's not necessary. The top folder of your existing image collection is specified in the collection setup. digiKam scans this folder recursively and adds the image information to the DB. The images are then available in digiKam. There are no changes to the existing folder structure of the image collection.

Awesome! Thank you for the quick message. I am working on my images now.
