*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 416493 *** There is a difference in behaviour, in 416493 the copied file is read-only, in this case the file is read-write. In 416493 the "Tag" folder exists (as the tag has been used), here the folder has just been created and is empty. Maybe closely aligned issues but the situations differ slightly |
Created attachment 125316 [details] Screen recording SUMMARY: It is possible to create a "new folder" when viewing a tag folder in Dolphin. This folder is empty as there are no files on the filesystem with the given tag; it is a construct within Dolphin. It gives an error when opened, nevertheless Dolphin allows you to drag-and-copy files into it but the copy appends a "null" tag to the file STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Observed with two files tagged with 'mytag': 1. On a newly launched Dolphin, open the "All tags" (the tags:/ folder) 2. Right click to get the pop up menu and "Create New", and choose "Folder" 3. Give a name not used before, say "New Folder". The "Tag" folder will appear 4. Click on the folder to open it, you get a "Could not enter folder tags:/New Folder" error message 5. Ignoring the error message (!), drag-and-copy a file into the "New Folder" view... OBSERVED RESULTS: The dragged-and-copied file does not appear in the "New Folder" view (see attached) A "getfattr -d ..." of the file shows the tags field with a trailing comma (the tag details have been updated but by appending a "null" tag): # file: B.png user.xdg.tags="mytag," EXPECTED RESULTS: If should be possible to drag-and-copy items into a newly created/empty folder and have this action add the tag. DESIRED STATE: "Empty", or newly created, tags should have an intermediate term existence, it should be possible to create a tag (by creating a new folder in the Tag view) and having it behave in a stable, predictable manner SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Dolphin 19.12.1 from Neon 5.17.5 KDE Plasma 5.17.5 KDE Frameworks 5.66.0 Qt 5.13.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
