Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages In Dolphin one can assign tags to files and to directories. However, there does not seem to be a way to browse the assigned tags. If there is no way to browse the tags, then this bug is a Request for Enhancement to add that functionality. If there _is_ a way, then this bug requests that it be made more obvious.
This is probably one of the many things of Nepomuk that will be solved in some future version of KDE
Thank you AngelBlue01 for making an uninformed guess about what you think an incomplete application might "probably" do with Dolphin. Bugzilla is not a discussion forum or a crystal ball. Please do not pollute it with uninformed comments. If you are not a Nepomuk or Dolphin developer, please do not guess what integration between the two applications you think may be possible, other than filing a feature request for a specific type of integration. Thanks.
Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719
As of today, Dolphin actually does have a visible tag browsing UI. It's just hidden by default, because it's empty until at least one tag has been created. You can access it by going to "tags:/". You can even make a bookmark out of it to have it always show up under the location panel's Places header. We should investigate ways to resolve this situation. Some random ideas: 1. The first time a tag is created, make a "tags:/" bookmark appear under the Location panel's Places header 2. The first time a tag is created, create a new header in the location panel called "Tags", with an entry below it for each tag created (this is what macOS Finder does, and it's very nice) 3. Ship Dolphin with a "tags:/" bookmark by default, but when you navigate there when there are no tags, change the empty white background to a message informing the user that it will fill up with tags as they are created

Option 4: make "tags:/" appear as a bookmark in Places by default, and work on improving the presentation later.
Patch submitted that pursues the path of least resistance (Option 4): https://phabricator.kde.org/D7668 If the patch is accepted, I will work on improving the usability, probably adding some explanatory text in the background.
