SUMMARY
When I import a folder with subdirectories (each subdirectory creates a sub-album), the automatically created sub-albums are not visible in the albums tree sidebar until I refresh it.

Possibly the same bug: When I click , and pick a folder with subdirectories, the automatically created subdirectories (and their images) don't show up in the Albums tree view, until I go to the tree view, right-click the folder's album and click Refresh.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open digiKam, click menu Import -> Add Folders, and pick a folder.
2. Create a sub-album under the root digikam one, and import there. (Not sure if required or not.)
3. Look for the newly imported pictures in the albums view.

OBSERVED RESULT
The newly created sub-albums are not visible in the left albums sidebar. If menu View -> Include Album Sub-Tree is unchecked, the new photos cannot be found at all.

EXPECTED RESULT
The left albums sidebar refreshes when new albums are created.

This is already fixed for digiKam-8.0.0 due to improvements in post processing after import.

Let's see if we can still make a workaround patch for digiKam-7.7.0.
