Created attachment 159862 [details] ui modal to add album fails to pop up SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. close / reopen digikam 2. import --> add folder 3. select a folder 4. without highlighting an existing album, click `new album` * nothing happens 6. now highlight any entry in existing albums, and click `new album` again * the modal pops up OBSERVED RESULT nothing happens EXPECTED RESULT the new-album modal pops up even if nothing is selected Frankly, as a user per the docs and least surprise, i expect to be able to create a new "root" album here (eg something at PEER level to `dummy-album-collection`) but if that's not possible, and a selection must be made (eg to make a child album), then I should be notified as such rather than silently doing nothing this only reproduces on the first opening of the dialog, because "parent" album selection appears to be preserved if I close/re-open this add-folder dialog.

did you uses Snap package. If yes, the sandbox of this kind of bundle is the problem (Snap is weird here)... Gilles Caulier
*** Bug 471394 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471394 is *not* a duplicate. I've edited the title here to remove the mention of the "aside" that does discuss a shared topic with 471394 Specifically, in THIS issue, the statement: > Frankly, as a user per the docs and least surprise, i expect to be able to create a new "root" album here (eg something at PEER level to `dummy-album-collection`) should be considered an *ASIDE* as feedback about (what appears to be an intentional but confusing design-decision to) not allow interacting with the things that are "*noun*ed" `Album`.

Like the OK button, the button for a new album is now disabled until an album is selected. It is not possible to create a new "root" album here. That would be a new collection and can only be created in the setup under Collections. We don't want to pick just any album at random here either. Maik
