Go to tags:/ and delete them like any other file. (In reply to george fb from comment #1) > Go to tags:/ and delete them like any other file. Ah, thanks for the hint. I tried that now and thought it works but the tags reappear when I press F5 (or wait some time). What version are you currently on? It works for me on 19.08.2. 19.04.3. I'll recheck when I updated the system. Same issue here. Open tags:/, seemingly deleting tags (delete or shift+delete) then press F5 and they are back. openSUSE Tumbleweed 20200925 Plasma 5.19.5 Frameworks 5.74.0 Dolphin 20.08.1 I think you'd see this if baloo had stopped, stuck, was catching up or couldn't remove the tags from all the files
I think the two things happen in parallel when deleting a "Tag Folder" in Dolphin. Assume you've tagged some files with "mytag" and then delete the "mytag" folder:
Dolphin finds all the files tagged with 'mytag' and
tries to remove the tag from each...
Baloo sees the resultant changes and reindexes the files.
and also:
Dolphin immediately removes the folder from its display
If for some reason baloo still has some files with 'mytag' in its index, an F5 will show you the 'mytag' folder again.
Possible reasons could be that baloo has stopped (it can no longer be indexing changes but still have the index it built previously), it could be that some of the files are now read-only (so the tags cannot be removed), maybe just that it is stuck (it's not seeing that tags have been removed).
Was able to generate an instance of this when moving a file to the wastebasket, see:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407530#c5
So, this is for "particular" tags where you have deleted the original file(s).
On the basis of this, flagging as "Confirmed"
I cannot reproduce the bug with tags reappearing, however, that's not what this bug report was about originally. If the issue is still present, please open another bug report. As for the original bug report, I think it would be nice if tags could be deleted from the side panel with the context menu. |
