Digikam crashed when I selected my folder path, which was not writable by digikam. The following errors were printed in the console:

CVS commit by pahlibar: 


fixed crash when the album library path is unwritable. Note to users, at least
make the album library path writable, otherwise none of the digikam tags or comments 
features will work. the actual photo directories don't have to be writable
