The collection root albums have no dropdown opener because we omit the top root album in this listing. However, you can collapse and expanded by double clicking on the collection root album.

It seems a bit strange to me to show an expand/dropdown arrow on the subfolders which have further subfolders but not on the root folder. (Windows 10's Navigation pane has it on both.) Where's the visual cue to indicate there's more "albums" (folders) hiding under there? Other than being told or accidentally finding out by trying, how does the user know to double-click to expand there? (And it seems the same would apply if all albums in the Albums view were collapsed to "Albums"--I had thought that was just a header until you explained you could double-click to collapse and tried it.) I did look at some documentation (https://docs.digikam.org/en/index.html) to try to figure out what was happening before going here but didn't see an instruction to double click to expand, nor an option in the right-click mouse menu that indicated expanding was possible. Glad to find out that it is, but it wasn't intuitive. We can of course display the top album so that the expansion arrows are shown. However, we would then be wasting unnecessary space in terms of width. Because the width is already very limited if many subdirectories exist. I would be reluctant to do that. I don't remember the problem being reported before. The fact that the nodes can be collapsed and expanded by double-clicking is actually common practice.

Created attachment 177539 [details] Screenshots of Album view vs facial recognition Search In view Added three directories where pictures are stored to Digikam as collections. Two are on an internal drive, one on an external. Only one of the three, titled Pictures, shows all the subfolders/directories in the Search In tab when trying to use Face Detection/Recognition. An earlier bug report for a Linux system indicated this happened on removable media, but it seems it's more than that--it seems only one collection (perhaps the first one added to digikam?) is treated a certain way, with the ability to select specific subfolders to include or unselect to ignore during facial detection/recognition, and the others are treated a different way, with no ability to exclude anything from the root directory. That's a big problem when most of your images are stored in one of the other root directories/collections.
