Thanks for the bug report. It seems that there are two different problems here. 1. Sometimes, the information is not shown for new/moved files. This is most likely not a Dolphin issue. Dolphin asks Nepomuk for this information, and if the Nepomuk database does not contain this information yet (e.g., because Nepomuk hasn't finished investigating the files yet), then it cannot be shown. 2. The information is not shown when logging in, and there are restored Dolphin windows. This is probably because the Dolphin windows are initialized before the Nepomuk server has been started. Maybe this could be fixed by listening to the nepomukSystemStarted() signal, similar to what has been done in https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/110323/ for the Places Panel. To check if my analysis is correct, could you split the view in a restored window that does not show the image size? I would assume that the new split view will show this information. Quite a lot of work has been done recently on file indexing and storing and accessing file data and metadata.

This issue will be fixed in KDE SC 4.13.
I don't know if the changes will also resolve the other problem that you mentioned though. I'm not even sure in how far this issue can be considered a bug, or it's maybe expected that retrieving the required information takes some time. This is definitely outside the scope of Dolphin. Feel free to discuss this with the Nepomuk people if you upgrade to 4.13, and you still feel that this needs improvement then. Thanks.
