Description rdxsquirrel9111555 2022-02-12 04:57:48 UTC

SUMMARY
When in the tags filter view (e.g., "tags:/TestTag/") exploring my files tagged "TestTag" i can't see the ones that are under dot folders, but are not dot files itself, and i can't see dot files. It's important mentioning that tagged dot folders appear under "tags:/TestTag/".

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. First create the following folder structure under a normal folder, like ~/Downloads
cd ~/Downloads
mkdir -p ~/Downloads/showsdirectly/
touch ~/Downloads/showsdirectly/showsdirectly.txt
touch ~/Downloads/showsdirectly/.doesntshowdirectly.txt
mkdir -p ~/Downloads/.showsdirectly/doesntshowdirectly
2. Tag every folder and file created with "TestTag"
3. Go under "tags:/TestTag/" with Dolphin


OBSERVED RESULT

Only the "showsdirectly" folders and files appear.

EXPECTED RESULT

Show every folder and file, including the "doesntshowdirectly" ones, inside "tags:/TestTag/" in the FIRST LEVEL of the path.

Do you have "Index hidden files" selected?

    $ balooctl config list hidden
    $ balooctl config list includeFolders
    $ balooctl config list excludeFolders

Not actually, when I enabled the "hidden" option I got the expected result. Thanks for the help :).

Good News :-)

If you are indexing hidden files/folders, you might want to add .cache and .local/share/Trash to the "excluded folders" list (see Bug 434705)

Okay, I appreciate the additional information. Thanks.
