Created attachment 187866 [details] overlay of Selection pop-up and resulting hierarchy SUMMARY Import multiple-selection of sub-folders create 2 copies of the sub-folders list : - one directly as a sub-hierarchy of the import selected album - a second one (succeeding the first one...), as a tree from the selected album to be imported STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. View/Separate items/ => By Album 2. Import/Add Folders=> select one folder in a local device ("Stockage interne" in my example) 3. multi-select some sub-folders of this folder (maj+clic) => Choose (all sub-folders in my example) 4. select the destination album => import is launched.... OBSERVED RESULT -first stage : the selected sub-folders are copies as sub-album of the importing selected album -second stage : the whole source folder (where sub-folders to be imported has been selected) is copied as a sub-album of the importing selected album. => files qty is exactly twice the expected one EXPECTED RESULT First stage only.

Your local mount path looks strange for a Samsung smartphone. What file sync tool are you using (FreeFileSync)? It might be a virtual file system. Maik
Created attachment 187867 [details] attachment-3775240-0.html Hi Maik, Yes, I test FreeFileSync to synchronise the internal storage of my smartphone (not rooted) into a dedicated folder on my local file system (NTFS), before importing this folder into Digikam in a second step. The screenshot attached to my bug sheet is caught during this second step (Menu Import/Add Folders/...) I do in this way in order to push away a lot of files/folders which are not interesting for my collections (criteria is more the origin/nature point of view than the picture quality...), before doing the DK import itself, because DK import allow folder selection, but not easily enough (mainly due to not expand/collapse feature ?). This way allow a very fluent synchronisation of the smartphone, without time spent about content. (but I'm interested in case of better REX to do so!) Hope its a clear explanation.
