1) Select a file 2) Click "Add Tag" in the Information Panel 3) Add a tag "test" 4) The tag "test" is shown in the Information Panel 5) Click "Change..." in the Information Panel => Tag list is empty again. Bug? 6) Add a new tag "test2" 7) The tag "test2" is shown in the Information Panel but not the "test" tag => Bug? (I tried the Dolphin feature after reading about Tags in Nautilus: https://alexandrupandelea.wordpress.com/2017/07/26/tags-in-nautilus/)
Confirmed.
Is the file search (balloo) enabled ? At here, with the: - Dolphin 17.08.0 - Baloo 5.37.0 The tags are shown if the file search is enabled -> https://imgur.com/ETfcW8E If the file search is disabled (no baloo index available ) the tags are not shown.
You're right! I was mis-remembering. Works for me too with those versions. That'll teach me to screen bugs from memory... Gregor, please try a later version of Dolphin. Should work there.
17.08.0: confirmed that original bug report is now fixed. Some related observations: - Adding and viewing tags also works without having baloo enabled. - Click on a tag searches other files with the same tag. When baloo is not enabled or has not completed the indexing, the result might be empty or incomplete. WISH: It would be nice if there was a hint that the File Indexer is not enabled or still running. - The File Indexer Monitor seems to not work: $ kcmshell5 kcm_fileindexermonitor ``` org.kde.kcoreaddons: Error loading plugin "kcm_fileindexermonitor" "The shared library was not found." Plugin search paths are ("/usr/lib64/qt5/plugins", "/usr/bin") The environment variable QT_PLUGIN_PATH might be not correctly set ``` Probably a distribution problem (openSUSE Tumbleweed).
