SUMMARY

When I choose "date photographed" in the details view for non-corrupt JPEG (and possibly other type) photos, this column is blank even though there is valid metadata embedded in these photos. I've read other posts on this for hours, and nothing helps, including changing the baloo setting for indexing files. This behavior was also observed in version 20, however I can't use that from Discover on my setup for some reason and it has other issues. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Navigate to a folder of photos, jpeg for example
2. Change view to detail view mode
3. Enable column "date photographed". 

OBSERVED RESULT

All are empty, even with valid metadata. 


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 20.04
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I tried reinstalling baloo, to no effect. The running of 

balooctl status

yields a running baloo instance as desired. Running

balooshow image.jpg

shows all of the desired metadata, which is peculiar and probably very significant. 





Let me know how I can help.
