Description ssergio-ll 2018-01-31 17:04:54 UTC

Hello.

I am KDE NEON with KDE Plasma 5.11.5 and KDE Frameworks 5.42.0.

If i show files hidden and later i search files or folders hidden in dolphin, this not show nothing, when this should show them.

I can confirm this issue. Plasma 5.11.5 Framework 5.42.0 

After setting "balooctl config set hidden yes" and then using balooctl to stop and start baloo as well as restarting search within dolphin still fails to find hidden folders or files.

Well, that is rather a bug in baloo then...
Anf I can confirm it (with Qt 5.12.0, KDE Frameworks 5.54.0, dolphin 18.12.1), files in hidden folders do not seem to get indexed even with "index hidden folders=true" in the config, i.e. baloosearch doesn't find them either.

But even with baloo disabled, dolphin doesn't seem to find any files in hidden folders here.

Let's merge this bug report into the newer one that contains a bit more information and activity.
