     Description:         DigikamImagePlugins are a collection of plugins for digiKam Image Editor.

I had digikam-0.7.4-r2 & digikamimageplugins-0.7.4-r2 installed then upgraded to 0.8.1 for both.  I noticed digikam would crash as a regular user on startup.  When ran as root it would startup and prompt for almbum path.
I decided to delete all references to digikam i.e. config files for the regular user and started digkam up and it would startup and prompt for album path.
If I chose a path not originating from my users home directory the app would crash.

I wasn't trying to use a NFS volume either.

Please don't post bugs in multiple places without informing us.
Closing as there is an upstream bug:

Wasn't aware of policy to not post bugs in more then one place.
Upstream Bug just means its at KDE? I filled out that bug.
