Screenshot of missing tags

I use semantic tags in Dolphin to mark episodes of television shows which I watch. Tags are only visible in the Info pane, but are not present in the Tag column of the detailed list view.

In the attached screenshot, many of the files should be tagged "watched", but no tags appear.
Comment 1 Kai Uwe Broulik 2018-01-04 10:30:05 UTC
I can only reproduce that the Tags column doesn't update when I change the tags but when I enter the folder or hit F5 tags are shown.
Comment 2 Michael Heidelbach 2018-01-05 18:15:01 UTC
Same here tags update after <F5>

In rare occasions it is necessary to
$ balooctl clear *.avi
$ balooctl index *.avi
but only if you see no tags in the info panel
Comment 3 Clinton 2018-01-08 20:42:04 UTC
Pressing F5 does nothing for me, nor does leaving and re-entering the folder. The column never shows anything. They do show up in the info pane, however.
Comment 4 Julian Steinmann 2019-04-27 15:31:05 UTC
I cannot reproduce this behavior with Dolphin 19.04. All tags show up correctly, even without refreshing the view. Do you still experience this problem with a newer version of Dolphin?

Comment 5 Patrick Silva 2019-04-27 23:30:57 UTC
On neon unstable, a newly added tag only appears in the Tag column after I press F5.
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2019-04-28 15:10:14 UTC
Thanks. I can confirm, BTW.
Comment 7 Julian Steinmann 2019-04-28 16:52:03 UTC
Huh, now the issue is also present for me. Maybe I did something wrong when triaging this for the first time.

Hello, FWIW I have just tested this in the following system and the bug is still there: 

Operating System: Kubuntu 22.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
Kernel Version: 5.15.0-43-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

Please note that I have also tested this in an older system where everything worked fine. This makes me think that at some point this bug was (inadvertently?) fixed but obviously something triggered it again between these two releases. Here are the specs of the system where everything worked ok:

Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
Kernel Version: 5.4.0-62-generic
Graphics Platform: X11

Sorry, I forgot to mention the relevant Dolphin versions:

The bug exists in Dolphin v21.12.3 (new system)
The bug is fixed in Dolphin v19.12.3 (old system)
Comment 12 funkybomber 2022-08-06 09:47:59 UTC
After some extra digging, I found a potential solution to this bug in this related bugreport:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434565

In here, user tagwerk19@innerjoin.org reported:

"Dolphin decides whether to populate tags, ratings and comments
columns depending on the "Indexing-Enabled" value in
.config/baloofilerc

The information is taken from the filesystem extended attributes,
not from the baloo index."
    
And sure enough, after I: 
1) checked the "Enable File Search" checkbox under the "File Search" settings
and
2) after I restarted Dolphin
the Tags and Comment columns in Details view mode populated properly!

I set my "/home/user" directory to "Not Indexed" because I don't want indexing draining my PC's resources but it still worked!

I think that it would be very useful if this solution was communicated properly to the users. This might lead to less bug reports.
