SUMMARY In digiKam version 5.9 and before, when I did Settings > Configure digiKam > Collections > Add a Collection, the dialogue would remember and open to the last place I had been = very handy = exactly the behavior I need. My next version was 6.4; in every version since, the dialogue always opens at the very beginning of things, forcing me to have to navigate through the entire folder tree to get to where I was just a few seconds before. If it is possible, and not too much trouble, it sure would be nice if the version 5.9 and earlier Add a Collection dialogue replaced the current one. Thanks. *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.

OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The way I have always used digiKam, I very frequently work in the Add a Collection window, adding new Collections and otherwise manipulating them; the old style Add a Collection dialogue worked a lot better for me. Thanks.
I ask out of curiosity, why are they adding so many collections? I don't even use it once a year. I hope not they add each subfolder as a collection. Maik

Then, when I have the finished jpegs, I "hide" everything except for the finished images; thus, when I do a keyword tag search, I am not inundated with fifteen versions of the same image; if I can find the finished image, I immediately know where all it's other versions are without having them clutter up my Tags View. I hope that makes sense; Thanks so Much.
