Bug 497415

Summary:	Removing a tag entirely doesn't remove it from the left panel directly

Description postix 2024-12-13 14:00:18 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a keyword such as "foobar" to a file
2. Open the keyword folder "tags://foobar" by clicking on it in the left panel
3. Remove it again by opening the context menu of the same file and clicking on "foobar"

OBSERVED RESULT
The view isn't updated. When hitting F5 it says 
```
 kioworker[25279]: kf.kio.workers.tags: "tags:/foobar" list() invalid url
```
and the tag stays in the left panel but does not vanish.

EXPECTED RESULT
Tags should be managed in Dolphin's settings, so you can create and delete those and they could exist w/o needing to be associated to at least a single file. However, in the current situation I'd expect the keyword to also vanish from the panel as it does from the context menu.

Hi - just to check, does the tag remain in the panel if you close and reopen Dolphin?

Once the file is deleted but the tag remains visible, does running balooctl6 status show any activity?

Thanks!

Sorry to inform but the tagging system seems to be totally broken for me:

* When I add a new tag to a file, it doesn't appear in tags:/, even not in a new Dolphin instance
* When create I a new tag by creating a folder in tags:/ it appears in the panel, but I can no longer delete it. It always says "Input/Output Error" in the terminal or "Folder does not exist".

I've also tested it with a new user account - same issue. I feel like the whole tagging system needs a major re-work tbh.

when trying to delete a tag such as "foo", either by deleting the folder in tags:/ or by clicking on the tag itself in the details panel, journalctl logs
>  kf.kio.workers.tags: "tags:/foo" stat() invalid url
