SUMMARY kffilemetadata is looking for external plugins at the path: /usr//usr/libexec/kfilemetadata/externalextractors which is clearly wrong. In the source code, this path is defined in src/config-kfilemetadata.h.in: #define LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${KDE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR_KF}" Unless there's something weird Gentoo is doing, `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` is resolving to `/usr/` and `KDE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR_KF` is resolving to `/usr/libexec/kf6`. The net effect is that `LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR` is being assigned `/usr//usr/libexec/kf6`. This used to work with kf5, but something must have changed when transitioning to kf6. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create an external extractor and store it in /usr/libexec/kf6/kfilemetadata/externalextractors 2. In dolphin, open the properties of a file relevant to the externalextractor and view details or 1. strings -e l /usr/lib64/libKF6FileMetaData.so.6.4.0 | grep libexec OBSERVED RESULT No metadata is shown. and $ strings -e l /usr/lib64/libKF6FileMetaData.so.6.4.0 | grep libexec /usr//usr/libexec/kf6/kfilemetadata/externalextractors /usr//usr/libexec/kf6 EXPECTED RESULT Metadata is shown. and $ strings -e l /usr/lib64/libKF6FileMetaData.so.6.4.0 | grep libexec /usr/libexec/kf6/kfilemetadata/externalextractors /usr/libexec/kf6 SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Gentoo Linux 2.15 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I've patched my local build of kfilemetadata by simply removing `{CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/` from the `LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR` definition, and that fixes the issue for me.
