Can only open folders, not individual images

I’m new to DigiKam. Opening folders is fine. Is there a way to open an individual image? I have tried Import (which functions slowly and in a manner I cannot comprehend), Browse, Item, all to no avail. I looked at the Wiki. Nothing related there. I right click on an image in File Explorer (Windows 11) and selected the DigiKam link. That didn’t work either.

I suppose opening an entire image folder is ok, but it is cumbersome and inconvenient.

I must be missing something. Hope someone can help.
