What's the kind of collection do you use for this album ? local, removable, network ?
Local network (NAS)
By "album," do you mean a standalone digiKam collection? Then you should see a red X icon on the collection's root album. If you mean an album from an existing collection, it could be due to a file path that's too long. Please install digiKam-8.8.0, which now supports long file paths. If it's a collection, the partition UUID has probably changed, or you deleted the digiKam UUID file in the .dtrash folder used to identify the collection. Then simply run the update function for the corresponding collection in the digiKam collection settings. Maik
Thanks for your reply. It concerns a collection. I thought that I had gone through the steps that you recommend, but appparently I made an error. I tried again and now it worked. Sorry for reporting abug that wasn't a bug.
