Created attachment 164882 [details] Initial display of Select album dialog with hidden top level folders for 2 out of 3 album collections SUMMARY When selecting an image thumbnail and selecting 'Move to album...' from right click context menu the 'Select album' dialog that opens only shows that there are child directories for the last (/current?) album. Not any other separate album collections. This means a user may think that DigiKam doesn't know or won't allow them to select folders within those other shown closed album collections. Given that there's no visual arrow indication for top level album names, and the user would need to double, not single, click to get DigiKam to expand those hidden top level folders I feel this could cause confusion and problems for many users. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. On DigiKam 8.2 for Windows 2. Ensure that you have more than 1 album collection of images setup, and that each of those collections has at least some top level sub folders 3. Go into one of those album collections 4. Select an image thumbnail and select 'Move to album...' from right click/context menu OBSERVED RESULT When the 'Select albums' panel opens observe that only 1 of album collections is showing sub-folders by default and there is no expand/hide arrow icon on top level album names to indicate that DigiKam knows/allows expansion of that album to see its top level folders. EXPECTED RESULT Either that all albums would display their top level folders by default. Or that album collections need expand/hide arrow icon associated with them (like all lower level folders do) so that there is visual and easy mouse method to expand and contract first level folders of each album's tree SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 64Bit Windows 10 Pro 22H2 with digiKam-8.2.0-Win64 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Created attachment 164883 [details] View of same Select Album panel after manually expanding top folders of initially closed album collections Note there is no visual indication on the actual album name of whether albums do or don't have sub folders (whereas all lower level folders have right or down arrow icon to indicate expandability and open/closed status) Current a user would have to hope/guess they need to double click on album name to see sub folders. And they might be worried to do that thinking that that would move the image(s) they originally selected to just the root of that album collection

We will enable the sub-albums indicator only for the album destination selection. Not for the main album tree, as the indicator unnecessarily widens the display to the right. Maik
