Description Luka Renko 2010-01-03 22:04:38 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Network shares can be added as collection to Digikam, but only if the network share is mounted locally. However, "Add Collection" dialog, uses standard File selection dialog, which also offers Network selection. It is very natural for the user to browse their network folder in Network tab, but when such path (for example: smb://hostname/share) is selected, digikam will give confusing message: 

"There is already a collection for a network share with the same path."

This is reported also if I do not have any network collection at all!
