Cannot select any folder or album

as per attached, DK will now not open any folders or files for existing or new Album

as bg, i renamed the root album folder, which it happily finds in DB  Migrate and Showfoto

(and now we have prob again of only ONE attachment!)

If you rename your root album folder (probably external), how should digiKam find your albums?
Go to the digiKam settings under Collection and update the path to your collection. It's the round circle icon next to your existing collection.

To explain again, without a valid root folder specified in the collection settings, logically no new albums can be created either.
