Description Gregor Mi 2017-07-27 12:59:44 UTC

1) Select a file
2) Click "Add Tag" in the Information Panel
3) Add a tag "test"
4) The tag "test" is shown in the Information Panel
5) Click "Change..." in the Information Panel
=> Tag list is empty again. Bug?

6) Add a new tag "test2"
7) The tag "test2" is shown in the Information Panel but not the "test" tag
=> Bug?

(I tried the Dolphin feature after reading about Tags in Nautilus: https://alexandrupandelea.wordpress.com/2017/07/26/tags-in-nautilus/)

Confirmed.

Comment 2 Rog131 2017-09-02 19:23:37 UTC

Is the file search (balloo) enabled ?

At here, with the:
- Dolphin 17.08.0
- Baloo 5.37.0

The tags are shown if the file search is enabled -> https://imgur.com/ETfcW8E

If the file search is disabled (no baloo index available ) the tags are not shown.

You're right! I was mis-remembering. Works for me too with those versions. That'll teach me to screen bugs from memory...

Gregor, please try a later version of Dolphin. Should work there.

17.08.0: confirmed that original bug report is now fixed.

Some related observations:

- Adding and viewing tags also works without having baloo enabled.

- Click on a tag searches other files with the same tag. When baloo is not enabled or has not completed the indexing, the result might be empty or incomplete. WISH: It would be nice if there was a hint that the File Indexer is not enabled or still running.

- The File Indexer Monitor seems to not work: $ kcmshell5 kcm_fileindexermonitor
```
org.kde.kcoreaddons: Error loading plugin "kcm_fileindexermonitor" "The shared library was not found." 
Plugin search paths are ("/usr/lib64/qt5/plugins", "/usr/bin") 
The environment variable QT_PLUGIN_PATH might be not correctly set
```
Probably a distribution problem (openSUSE Tumbleweed).
