Bug ID: 479578
Summary: Import errors claiming imported path is already part
of album path
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 8.1.0
Platform: NixOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Import-Albums
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kde.bugtracking.r0jwh...@likeablefirm.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When importing a path that contains the album path, the import fails. If
~/albums were my albums folder and I wanted to import
~/albums-not-yet-imported, the import would fail since the first part of the
path of the folder I want to import is the same as the albums path.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create an album at path ./repro/album
2. Create another folder ./repro/album-not-yet-imported
3. Try to import album-not-yet-imported into album
OBSERVED RESULT
Import fails
EXPECTED RESULT
Import should succeed
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: NixOS
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.112.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The bug is at core/app/main/digikamapp_import.cpp line 162 where a simple
contains function is used so that any path which somehow contains the album
path gets refused. The fix would be to use a check that understands paths. A
fix could be converting to canonical or absolute paths and then doing a
comparison that understands "directory boundaries" (like / or \).
I was running 8.1.0 when the bug occurred, but it's present in the master
branch right now (2024-01-09 9136a01a335e8c4be4c3d0a58c7942d7a4e5360a)
