Selecting an SMB network share in the file chooser window for the purpose of setting up a new collection appears to succeed, but the share is not added as a collection. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open digiKam configuration and move to Collections pane. 2. Click "Add Collection" next to "Collections on Network Shares," select a path within a network share (e.g. "smb://diskstation/home/digikam") and click OK. Actual Results: digiKam does not ask for the collection's name, and nothing is added under the "Collections on Network Shares" header. Expected Results: digiKam asks for the collection's name, like it does for "local" collections, and then it is added under the "Collections on Network Shares" header. Copied from the Ubuntu bug database: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/digikam/+bug/1270390 I have assigned "major" severity on the basis that my entire collection of photos is stored on a NAS device, and without the ability to add a collection from a network share, I am unable to use the software at all.
I experience same problem with: Version 3.5.0 Using KDE Development Platform 4.13.3
I'm seeing the same issue with version 4.6.0 on Fedora 21.
Ditto the above. OpenSUSE 13.1 (x86_64) KDE 4.11.5 DigiKam 3.5.0 Thanks !
Created attachment 91277 [details] addcollection.patch DigiKam does currently not support "smb://" URLs. Samba shares must be locally mounted. With this patch, an error message is now displayed again.
