SUMMARY After installation, on first run on msWindows (10) if the pictures directory is moved, the origional/default is used, not the moved one. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. on msWindows, move the pictures location according https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2936105/operation-to-change-a-personal-folder-location-fails-in-windows 2. Install digicam and use it for the first time. 3. See Settings -> ConfigureDigikam -> Collections and find the C:\Users\Accont\Pictuers as pictures location, not the moved one. OBSERVED RESULT Not my moved pictures directory by default. I need to find it myself. EXPECTED RESULT My moved pictures directory in primary view. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 (1903) (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Search for "shgetknownfolderpath" in your program language on msWindows to find the mypictures information. My search for this moved location started in the registry at "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders". For PowerShell: "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16658015/how-can-i-use-powershell-to-call-shgetknownfolderpath" For what its worth: Besides MyPictures, there is also CommonPictures, that points to the pictures of the public profile. If it is used (if there are pictures) it could/should be among the default collections too.

We do not support virtual windows libraries. The physical file paths must always be selected. Maik
