ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Maik Qualmann 2023-12-18 17:49:13 UTC 
This is not a bug, a sub folder of an existing collection is already part of your digiKam album collection.
A collection is recursively imported with all subfolders.

A digikam collection is a collection of images on a local drive, removable storage device or network drive. The root path is specified for this purpose.
A collection should not be misused to import single folders.
